Anastacia’s Retreat: Enhancing Yourself and Your Practice
April 30 - May 3, 2026, Edinburgh
Throughout the retreat, we’ll explore the Use of Self - how you use your own nervous system and nonverbal communication to create a safe and supportive environment full of the energy of possibilities. Use your grounded and centred presence to connect with your clients’ highest and best potential.
Learn the four styles of coping under stress that get activated when we are reactive. Find your physical anchors to stress and learn how to process yourself quickly and effectively when you get triggered and return to a grounded, centered state.

This for you.
In this retreat, through daily bodymind self-check ins, you’ll learn to experience deeper connection with self and others. You’ll take these bodymind skills with you after experiencing the benefits, so you can use them to return to yourself whenever needed. You can apply these skills with your clients to help them participate more in their healing, deepen their self-awareness and access available energy.
You’ll learn how to use your own body and energy to gain personal congruence, and also develop new ways of assessing and interacting with clients to maximize their healing.
Using the Satir Personal Iceberg metaphor, explore the components of your inner world. Have a template with which to help you understand your clients and put their concerns in context. Learn to guide your clients’ self-awareness in your interactions and leverage their inner resources, opening up new possibilities.
Learn
Anastacia will teach you how to use the styles of coping to assess your clients so you can know the most effective way to communicate with them in the moment. This will help you deal with “difficult” clients and diffuse tense situations without becoming defensive.
We will use the body connection to dynamically explore different parts that may conflict or compliment one another, so you can learn through experience how to assist your clients when they are experiencing conflicting parts or energies.
Anastacia Metcalf, Maryellen Stephens, and MaryAnne Shiozawa will be your team to guide you throughout this 4-day retreat.
Know
Know the Cycle of Change process so you can support your clients in the part of the change cycle they are in. Anastacia's methods will help you create a partnership with your clients that will sustain their trust and faith in their own ability to heal, even when they are experiencing new or different symptoms, life changes and upheaval in long-established patterns.
Presence and Connection
Our presence within our practice, and our clients' presence with themselves, unlocks infinite possibilities for healing.
Each of us has a body that is the focal point of everything we've experienced and everything we've learned, energetically, explicitly and implicitly. Using the power of our past to open a new future means working with what's there and creating something new by choice. Help your clients navigate change and stay with the journey.
