A gentle, all‑day somatic retreat exploring body image beyond appearance.

Coming Home to Your Body is an intimate somatic day retreat by The Human Gallery, created to explore body image beyond appearance. This retreat is an invitation to experience your body as something you live in – something that moves, feels, connects and carries you through the world.

There is no expectation to love your body. You don’t need to feel confident, know how to dance or have any experience with somatic practices. Curiosity is enough.

Rather than moving from workshop to workshop, the retreat unfolds as one continuous journey, held collaboratively by four experienced facilitators. Through movement, music, connection, creativity, reflection and The Human Gallery’s intimate approach to portraiture, you’ll be invited to explore your body in different ways – without pressure to reach a particular outcome.

Programme:

  • 10:00 am – 11:30 am: Arrival & Coming Together
  • 11:30 am – 12:30 pm: Somatic Movement & Dance Journey
  • 12:30 pm – 2:15 pm: Shared Lunch & The Human Gallery Experience (spacious part of the day to eat, rest, connect and explore, with optional creative and reflective experiences including art, body exploration, quiet spaces and mini Human Gallery portraits)

Coming Home to Your Body is intentionally open to all genders. This is an intentionally small and intimate retreat. Everything is opt-in. Consent and choice sit at the centre of the experience.
