THE SOOTHE RETREAT

Lefkada, Greece
Saturday 31st May – Saturday 7th June, 2025

"What it will do is transform your mind and body for the long-term, and reconnect you to that most fundamental part of who you are.
– Elle UK

Join somatic movement educator Nahid de Belgeonne, founder of The Human Method, for The SOOTHE Retreat – a week of personal development and nervous system nourishment on the picturesque island of Lefkada, Greece.  

Enjoy profound learning to help self-regulate your nervous system and leave you feeling deeply rested, calm and recharged after 6 nights spent on this idyllic island.

OUR ISLAND LOCATION
Lefkada Retreat, our home for the week, is a purpose built retreat centre with stunning facilities, located on the unspoilt island of Lefkada in the Ionian sea – the perfect location to relax and reconnect with yourself.

Situated between two azure blue bays offering breath taking views, we’ll be immersed in the natural environment, amidst rolling hills of ancient olive trees, and a mere stroll to the sandy beach below. 
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

The Human Method is a powerful practice of brain-body re-education. An effective communication framework that will guide you in exploring the reasons why you move, think, and behave the way you do – and how these patterns influence your wider emotional wellbeing.  

Blending breathwork, anatomy in movement, somatic yoga flow, and deep rest with the latest thinking in Neuroscience, experience conscious practices carefully designed to help you release unhelpful patterns in the body and mind, and lay down new possibilities for movement in your life.

  “I’ve designed this retreat as a direct response to the rising numbers of my clients dealing with burnout, heightened anxiety, relentless stress, and sleep issues. We need an antidote to our modern hypervigilant world, and The Soothe Retreat is about soothing the put-upon nervous system and building resilience for tough times. The themed week will progressively build your practice and understanding of yourself and your patterns.

You will leave feeling healthy and strong, fully restored from the stresses of your life and with the power and resources to live with more joy in the long term.
” 

Over the course of the week you'll enjoy 30 hours of expert teaching, including:  

• Energy shifting practises each morning to lengthen, strengthen and mobilise

• De-stressing practises in the afternoon to unravel, unwind and re-organise

• Somatic meditation, breathing and sleep practises

You’ll also enjoy nutritious local organic food to complement your practice, and experience the best of Greek cuisine to nurture your body and nervous system.
