Step Away. Slow Down. Reset. Reconnect.
Sometimes, meaningful change needs more than a conversation.
It needs space.
Space to slow down.
Space to breathe.
Space to quiet the noise of everyday life and reconnect with yourself.
Amanda Dounis and Christian Dounis facilitate therapeutic Mini Retreat experiences designed to support emotional wellbeing, reduce stress and create an opportunity for genuine mind–body reconnection.
Drawing on their experience in psychotherapy, clinical hypnotherapy, counselling, mindfulness and therapeutic wellbeing, Amanda and Christian create experiences that are calming, engaging and thoughtfully tailored to the people in the room.
A Space to Reset
Away from the demands and distractions of everyday life, a Mini Retreat creates an opportunity to pause and experience things differently.
Participants are gently supported to:
- release accumulated stress and tension
- quiet an overactive or busy mind
- develop greater awareness of thoughts and emotions
- reconnect with the body and the present moment
- experience deeper relaxation
- strengthen emotional regulation
- reconnect with themselves in a meaningful way
- leave feeling calmer, clearer and more grounded
What We Bring to Your Retreat
Amanda and Christian can provide a complete Mini Retreat experience or facilitate a dedicated wellbeing component within an existing retreat, workplace wellbeing day, studio event or community program.
Experiences can include:
- guided therapeutic processes
- clinical hypnotherapy and deep relaxation
- mindfulness and grounding practices
- nervous system calming techniques
- breathwork and body awareness
- emotional regulation strategies
- stress-release practices
- guided visualisation and therapeutic reflection
- practical tools participants can continue using after the retreat
Every experience is tailored to the group, setting and intention of the retreat.
More Than Relaxation
Our Mini Retreats are designed to create more than a temporary feeling of relaxation.
They offer participants an opportunity to step away from their usual pace, become more aware of what their mind and body may be holding, and discover practical ways to create greater calm and balance in everyday life.
A quieter mind.
A calmer body.
A deeper connection with yourself.
And space to move forward with greater clarity.
