Save me from the Waves: The Adventure Retreat

Join me in Formentera in May or Scotland in December for a magical adventure. It’s for people who’ve been through stuff – big stuff, little stuff, all the stuff. People who want to stop getting knocked down by life’s waves (or at least learn how to swim in them); and people who want to adventure towards a bigger, braver more beautiful life on this incredible planet.
