This retreat will offer you:
A living, flexible “map” of your tangled issue with the different parts separated out
A new way to understand your stuckness - not as something permanently wrong with you or your life, but as a “stoppage” of life energy that can resume and flow again
A powerful way to get underneath the repetitive patterns to what is really driving them… and give the stuck parts what they’ve always needed… at last

You will also receive
- A beautifully designed Workbook to follow through the week that gives you the details and specific language of every exercise
- A leaflet that tells you where you are in the process at each step of the retreat
- 63 pages of Workshop Handouts that go into detail about the process and the theory behind it… available before the retreat so you can read in advance if you want to
The programme
This is an in person retreat open to anyone whom has completed at least 3 Modules/Levels or workshops.
The group gathers on the first night to connect with each other and share our hopes and intentions. Over the next five days, we go on a journey of inner exploration that begins with Getting to Know Your Tangle… and then one by one we show you the Five Powers of Presence and how to apply each one to your own Tangle. On the last morning, we have three more hours together before journeying home.
There will be breaks, movement, and Focusing partnerships within each of those three-hour sessions. We want to offer you an intensive, immersive experience that supports you in going deep into the process. As well as a long break over lunch time so you can rest and resource.
I will teach through my own stories and demonstrations of each of the Powers. There are specially designed paired exercises to do with each other. After your practice partnership time, you’ll come back to the group to share your experiences and receive support.
The spirit of the retreat is respect and safety for every part of yourself. Expect to feel deeply understood and accepted… even for those parts of yourself that you don’t accept (yet).
Starts 10th November at 6pm
End 16th November 1pm

About your teacher
I have been studying with the founders of Untangling® for over 15 years, and have been on several of the Untangling® retreats and courses. My first one was in 2006! This approach has been a source of inspiration and practice ever since. When I or those I work with are getting tangled - this approach is where I turn to. In January 2025, I was offered the opportunity to train in teaching their method, under their supervision, with the intention of becoming a certified Untangling® teacher
“A note from Barbara McGavin and Ann Weiser Cornell: We are so pleased and proud to announce that Peter Gill is our first (and so far only) Untangling apprentice, and we have authorized him to offer the training we created. We recommend him — he’s great!”
