Residencies & Retreats

Our lives are not predestined, the world is not done, and we are not puppets in it. We are made genetically to be able to be happy in an imperfect world that is endlessly unfolding.

Albert Pesso

a 4-day transformational retreat in Cornwall

 

Sunday 16 to thursday 20 MARCH 2025

 

We are starting where all good stories begin ….

Rosemerryn House, a former artist’s home,  is set in beautiful woodland near Lamorna Cove, in the ancient heart of Cornwall.

“Rosemerryn woods is very healing and just the right space for a healing workshop”.

This is a rare opportunity to work in a small group over four days in the beautiful and tranquil setting of Rosemerryn Woods, in the ancient heart of Cornwall.

The most important journey in our lives is to reconnect and integrate all the different aspects of ourselves. To welcome home, enjoy a greater sense of self, and pleasure, joy and satisfaction in our lives.

Over the four days, we will work with a powerful mind-body therapy (Pesso-Boyden Psychomotor System), which will help us go deeper into ourselves and heal and resolve the obstacles and wounds from our past to focus on the present. The intention of this retreat is to provide a POSSIBILITY SPHERE of mutual trust and support where people can – in the words of Al Pesso – “become who they truly are”.

After you leave, you can choose to have a follow up telephone or online  session to help you integrate what you have learnt into your life.

Are you willing to dive deep?

This programme is an investment in yourself, in your life. I know it will demand a commitment from you, but if this feels right for you, do not hesitate. Reserve your place with a deposit or contact me and I will arrange a telephone session to talk to you, answer your questions and help you decide whether to sign up for this programme.

 

Testimonials

From participants who have been on a retreat or have experienced being part of a Pesso Boyden group.

 

“I did decades of personal development & psychology training, but this approach gave me more agency, more leverage in a shorter time. It allowed a clearer visualisation of a positive counter shape to a missing stage of development in my childhood & a resolution through a collaborative process”.

“From the very first session I could tell that I was in the presence of someone who is truly authentic: an expert in her field. Deborah has worked with and alongside me from the depths and breadth (as well as the heights!) of her wisdom, intuition, and experience”.

“I found my time on retreat with Deborah at Rosemerryn House to be very healing. Deborah is a highly skilled PBSP therapist and the setting and programme were very supportive of the work we did as a group”.

“Rosemerryn Woods and Lamorna Cove are beautiful and peaceful places, and the meals we were offered each day were delicious and nourishing. The schedule was spacious enough that I could take time to myself, and yet there was plenty of time for each person in the group to have a structure and further processing time”. 

“I found the retreat I attended in May this year immensely helpful; something was healed for me at a very deep level. The Pesso Boyden method is wonderful, and Deborah works in a very attentive, respectful and precise manner with each person, while keeping the whole retreat relaxed and enjoyable at the same time. I thought this was remarkable”.
