***Living Truth Confidently Where Angels Fear to Tread***

3-Day Transformational Retreat | Braziers Park, Oxfordshire
September 24-27, 2026

**Where We Go Deep**
In a world of intensifying identity conflict, cultural polarisation, and global crises, this residential offers a rare opportunity to:

Turn towards rather than away from complexity
Practice not-knowing, curiosity, and courageous human contact
Develop genuine presence with the difficult, unfamiliar, and uncomfortable
Build inner resilience for staying human amid overwhelming uncertainty

**What Makes Us Hesitate?**
Identity politics & DEI tensions
Global crisis & social fragmentation
Personal trauma and shadow parts
Climate overwhelm and freeze
Personal vulnerability and disconnection
We learn to meet these with embodied presence, not avoidance.
