A SELF-PACED GUIDED REFLECTION PROGRAMME, FROM STUDIO20
Retreat Yourself
Six books. Twelve sessions. Your own pace.
A guided reflection programme for slowing down, making space for yourself and exploring what a more fulfilling, less hurried life could look like.
Across six books, you’ll explore solitude, gratitude, your priorities, your pace, rest and relaxation, and the small changes that can help you create more space in your everyday life.
There’s time to pause, reflect, write and find your own way through it. Take what speaks to you, return to what you need and let the rest unfold at your own pace.
The whole first book. Free, with no email address needed.
I believe a retreat can mean more than getting away. It can also be a way of re-treating yourself: giving yourself time, attention and your own company again.
Being alone doesn't have to mean being lonely. It can mean being all-one, being whole and reTREATing yourself to a date with yourself.
To getting to know yourself and befriending yourself, again and again. That's what these six eBooks are for.
Six books, one pace: yours.
Each book picks up exactly where the last one left off. Read them in order, or open whichever one you need right now.

A FEW QUESTIONS
Good to know
Is this the same as coaching with you?
This is a self-guided version of some of the conversations we might have in a coaching session.
It gives you the space to slow down, explore the questions in your own time and notice what comes up for you. The books are a little more guided than an actual coaching conversation, with the same intention: to help you reflect, get curious and find your own way forward.
If you'd like some actual conversation alongside the books, that's always possible too.
How long does the programme take?
As long as you'd like.
There's no schedule to keep up with and nothing to finish by a certain date. The idea is simply to spend a little more time with yourself, whenever you can.
You might read a few pages one evening, take a journal somewhere quiet or return to a question months later. Retreat Yourself is there for you to come back to as often as you need.
What will I receive?
You'll have access to all six PDF books in your Studio20 Member Space. You can read them on your phone, print them out or keep your own digital copies.
There’s no app and no subscription to remember to cancel later.
They're yours to keep and return to whenever you like.
Can I write in them?
Of course.
Personally, I'd keep the eBooks as your originals and use a separate journal for your own notes, thoughts and reflections.
You could add the date each time you sit down with the programme too. Over time, your journal becomes a little record of where you were, what was on your mind and what has changed since then.
I think there's something really lovely about being able to look back.
How do I pay?
You can purchase Retreat Yourself through the Studio20 Member Space.
You'll need a Studio20 account to access the programme. Once your purchase is complete, everything will be available there for you to explore.

Why I made Retreat Yourself
Retreat Yourself was originally written in 2018 while I was travelling through Mozambique and South Africa.
Much of the original writing is still here. I've intentionally not rewritten every page from today's perspective, because the ideas and reflections that made me write it in the first place still feel true to me.
Reading the programme is only the beginning.
The real part happens when you give yourself the time to sit with it, reflect on what comes up and try things out in your own life. There's no right way to do that. Some things may immediately make sense, while others might be something you come back to later.
If you'd like some company along the way, that's where coaching can come in. We can explore what's coming up for you and talk about where you'd like to take things next.
If you've really spent time with Retreat Yourself and, after 90 days, feel that it hasn't given you anything at all, please email me.
I want you to feel that Retreat Yourself was worth your time, your money and, most importantly, the time you gave to yourself.
We'll take it from there.
