Hey SOMIES,
I'm currently launching monthly in-person gatherings through Ganesha Retreats here in the UK for SOMA instructors and those in training set in our high-energy woodland venue, within easy reach of London and Dover.
The intention is to create an accessible, affordable and inclusive space to come together, reset, refine facilitation and share what's working in sessions, so that as a community we can grow our offerings and the quality of our client services.
We have some fantastic accommodation options available from our most nature-immersive flat-bottomed tree hammocks to a luxury bell tent with double bed.
Before I post the gathering here, I wanted to open this up to the community and get a feel for what people would genuinely want from something like this.
A few things that I'd love your input on:
What would you most want to get out of a regular in-person gathering?
What kind of price point would feel realistic if this were something you'd attend monthly?
What format works best for you
1 day?
1 night?
2 nights?
We aim to keep this intimate and high quality, enhanced by the natural healing energy of our unique woodland venue, and your feedback is fundamental in assuring we can deliver the best experience.
If this is something you'd be interested in being part of, would love to hear your thoughts.
Also happy to share more details with anyone who's keen to be involved from the start.
Much love, peace and positivity to you all,
Ben :)
