A transformational experience for body, heart and soul.
Soft Core is more than a retreat — it’s a chance to shift into a new way of being in the world.
The work combines our shared decades-long experience as therapists, healers & humans. We attune on the level of the body, heart and soul — bringing each participant into intimate relationship with themselves on all levels, and creating a soul-field of group intimacy that can deepen and accelerate the work.
We see this work as ecological – in rhythm with the body’s natural cycles and attuned to the wider needs of the planet. An ecological approach is non-extractive — we don’t push, force, or demand. Instead, we simply witness and embrace all that is with compassion, and nourish what wants to grow. Recognising our own healing as part of the wider web of life, our approach blends research-based nervous system practices with ancient and esoteric meditation traditions, offering guidance at a pace that is steady, spacious, and gentle.
Soft Core was born out of a longing for this more feminine approach to “the inner work”, that still retains the depth & vigour of other paths, but with an element of softness and embrace so that we can leave feeling nourished, resourced and able to integrate the learnings into our lives.
Following the unbelievable success of our first retreat in Ireland in 2025, we’re excited to expand Soft Core to the UK in May 2026. Join us in the stunning Devon countryside for 4 nights if you’re interested in taking the next courageous step on your journey.
If you’re interested, we recommend applying now, as spaces are limited.
Our Mission
Our mission is to help people to come home to themselves in the deepest way that we’ve found, because we believe that the world needs more people who are connected to their bodies, their hearts, and their souls.
We’ve created a spacious yet intensive journey to spiral people into their own cores, and to meet others and be met from that place. We believe that the path inwards can be gentle, loving, feminine – one where we’re resourced in our nervous systems and in our connections with others.
Our mission ultimately is to create a space of pure love where transformation can occur. We’ve seen what magic can happen when we hold each other in true, non-judgmental loving presence. We believe that through slowness, gentle guidance and care, we can have a transcendent experience of what it feels like to live from soul, in the hope that it can be integrated and lived once people leave the retreat, feeling inspired & nourished.
The Story of Soft Core
Soft Core was born from the place where creative expression best lies – in the truth of the moment.
Between us we have spent decades travelling the world and exploring the leading edge of transformational spaces and spiritual quests. Soft Core began to cook as we each found ourselves looking for the same things: places where our wild free spirits and love for home, family, Celtic lands and embodied, sustainable growth and healing can meet.
Soft Core reflects the inner journey we have each been on to explore the deep mysteries of living a soulful, spiritual life that is also rooted in principles of earth, body, love and care.
We have each walked different paths – from spiritual adventures to corporate boardrooms, music-making, mysticism and leading-edge technologies of healing and awakening.
We are all connected through a shared pathway and pilgrimage round the world. We each find ourselves back where we started and share a great desire to teach others what we have learnt.
We combine our unique personal histories, gifts and professional qualifications with our shared desire to see a more beautiful world where people are resourced and available to experience the fullness of life and play their part in a wider story.
