Psychology & Stillness Retreat in the Somerset Countryside

The retreat is led by Ucman, an advanced psychotherapist trainee who worked in banking for ten years before burnout brought him to a halt. He’s built the program around his own recovery and the WAJD framework he developed, which blends therapy with travel and the right environment. The group is capped at eight people, which keeps the work personal and the conversations real. This is not about positive thinking or spiritual bypassing—it’s about making friends with the parts of yourself you usually avoid, and it does that by getting you to actually feel them, not just discuss them.
