The Connected Self

Retreat

Where Psychology Meets Soul - Reclaim The Future You Were Born For!

Thursday 25th – Sunday 28th June 2026

The time has come to join us for the most incredible 4-day retreat at the beautiful

Tofte Manor, Bedfordshire, UK.

The Connected Self Retreat

I can’t begin to know what journey you’ve been on, and I can’t begin to see the impact of what you’re carrying as a result, but what I do know is this - if you’re reading these words, something inside you is searching for a way back to yourself.

Perhaps you’ve spent years holding space for others whilst quietly running on empty. Maybe you’ve done the therapy, read the books, gained genuine insight into your patterns - yet still the same cycles play out in your body, your relationships, your life. Perhaps you’re just simply exhausted in a way that sleep can’t seem to touch.

This retreat exists for the reconnection you’ve been longing for; a chance to stop, to be held, and to come home to every layer of who you are - body, heart, mind and soul.


This Retreat Is For You If…

  • You’re the one everyone leans on - the friend who always shows up, the therapist, the healer, the mother - and you’re craving a space where you’re finally the one who gets to be seen and received.

  • You’re at a crossroads - a relationship is shifting, a career is losing its meaning, a chapter is closing - and you can feel a new version of yourself waiting. Rather than fear what’s falling away, something in you is ready to follow what’s calling you forward.

  • You understand your patterns deeply, yet when life touches those places that never fully healed, the same old reactions surge through you before you can stop them.

  • You’re done choosing between science and soul; you know there’s so much more to healing. You want an approach grounded in clinical depth, one that honours your intellect and your intuition, your psychology and your soul - without needing to abandon the truth of who you truly are.


What You’ll Leave With:

Imagine driving home on Sunday, late afternoon, with a stillness inside you that signals deep peace; a clarity that’s emerged from within; a sense of yourself so grounded and whole that the thought of returning to your life fills you with unlimited possibility and joy.

  • You’ll leave with a nervous system so settled it remembers what it feels like to truly rest - plus practical tools to help you return to that state whenever the overwhelm of life gets too loud.

  • You’ll feel those familiar patterns that have been running your life loosen their grip - and in their place, space to breathe, room to choose, freedom to respond differently.

  • You’ll have reconnected with your intuition, your inner-tuition, and developed a connection with your soul guide so you can begin to trust what you actually need.

  • You’ll leave with lifelong, soul-deep friendships forged in ceremony - and the knowing that you’re no longer doing this alone.


This is your call to come home - not to a place, but back to yourself.


Why This Approach?

One of the most important lessons I’ve learnt in 26 years of clinical practice is that by viewing ourselves merely through a psychological lens, we impede our chances of fully healing. If we’re not looking at the energy body in tandem with the physical and the psychological, we aren’t getting to the root of the problem - and if we aren’t getting to the root, we remain stuck in a cycle of disconnection, forever destined to keep searching for something we can’t quite name.

This retreat works with the whole of you - body, heart, mind, energy and soul - reaching the places that talking therapy alone can’t touch. Over four days you’ll be guided by a Chartered Psychologist who is also a shaman, a medium, a Reiki healer and much, much more - someone who can hold you in clinical safety whilst opening doors that conventional practice doesn’t even know exist.

You’ll move through sacred ceremony, receive ancient initiations passed down by the Q’ero Shamans of Peru, journey to meet your ancestors and your future self. This combination doesn’t exist anywhere else - and neither does what becomes possible when all of it comes together.

Through our practices you’ll gain a deep connection with your Inner Tuition and Intuition

What others say:

‘I always hoped that someone would bring a totally new perspective to the way we view human consciousness. Amanda has absolutely done that.’

— Gordon Smith, Internationally Renowned Medium & Spiritual Teacher

‘Amanda brings an incredible gift to the table that I have personally witnessed… helping you connect in with your most authentic self. Through psychology and her psychic abilities combined she offers something unique, powerful and deep. Amanda helped me through some of the most turbulent times of my life and was absolutely invaluable to my support system.’

— Mel Wells, Bestselling Author

‘When I met Amanda I was completely lost - I had every reason to be happy but I’d become desperately disconnected from myself. I’d tried therapy before and it didn’t work. Amanda was different. She instinctively knew there were deeper issues that needed addressing. Thanks to Amanda I’ve reconnected back to the real me. I’m at peace, and for the first time in my life I’m comfortable in my own skin. It’s not an exaggeration to say Amanda saved my life.’

— Michael, London


‘Amanda brought me out of the darkest place and helped me create such an amazing life for myself. She was my last resort. I now know myself so much better and actually like who I am now. She is an extremely skilled psychologist, yet is so much more than that - she really seemed to know me at my very core.’

— JV, Kingsley, Surrey

‘I’ve been to countless workshops and retreats over the years but Amanda’s was different. She combines clinical expertise with something so much deeper - things really shifted for me that brought clarity and healing in a way that years of therapy hasn’t been able to touch.’

— Chrissy, Manchester

 

A note before you decide

Wherever you are in your life right now, you get to choose how to live it - day by day, moment by moment, decision by decision. Just know that you always have the most amazing opportunity available to you, which is that you can begin again.

Yes, I know there’s a voice, the one that says you can’t justify this, that the timing isn’t right, that you should wait until the kids are older, the work is calmer, the bank balance feels safer. That voice has kept you small for long enough. It’s the same voice that’s convinced you to put everyone else first, to abandon yourself one compromise at a time, to keep going when your body has been begging you to stop.

If something in you is stirring, now’s the time to start trusting, it could be your inner-tuition speaking.

The question is whether you’re finally ready to listen.

Investment:

Spaces Are Limited: This retreat is intentionally intimate, with limited places to preserve the sacredness of the space and the depth of the work. If your heart is stirring, trust the pull.

  • Dorm Room (shared): £2,797 - Ideal if you're coming with friends or open to soul-aligned connection - this beautiful shared space invites deep sisterhood.

  • Twin Room (sharing with one other): £3,297 - Perfect if you're coming with a friend, or open to being paired with a kindred soul.

  • Double Room (single occupancy): £3,997 - Ideal if you're craving space just for you - a quiet sanctuary to reflect, rest, and go deeply inward between sessions.

Early bird pricing includes a pre-retreat 1:1 session with Amanda - book by April 15th 2026.

Payment plans are available.

*All payment plans include access to the full retreat experience — there are no hidden extras.

Your Venue:

Tofte Manor is a stunning Spiritual Sanctuary and Elemental Sacred Space set in 50-acres of British Countryside.

Step Into Sacred Space

You’ll be welcomed to Tofte Manor — a 17th-century sanctuary in the heart of the English countryside. With its crystal-charged labyrinths, sacred water, ceremonial fire pit, and consciously curated energy field, this is more than a venue. It’s a threshold. A place of remembrance, resonance and return.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel it - the land itself holds you. Designed to support healing, awakening and deep reconnection, Tofte becomes a mirror. A portal. A sacred container where the next version of you begins to rise.

Whether you’re seeking emotional release, spiritual reconnection, intuitive clarity or a deeper sense of embodiment, this four-day retreat offers more than just rest. It offers real transformation - grounded in psychology, expanded by energy, and guided by soul.

You don’t need to have done anything like this before. All you need is the call - and the courage to answer it.

  • Shamanic Fire Ceremonies under open skies, and with the energy of the coming full moon, we’ll be harnessing the cleansing power of fire for release and renewal - releasing what no longer serves to awaken your personal power

Gentle space between sessions for integration, embodiment, and nervous system regulation.

  • Nature, stillness and silence as medicine - allowing insights to land and inner clarity to rise. Time and space to integrate, reflect and simply be.

Before, During and Beyond - A Guided Journey of Integration

Transformation doesn’t just happen in the moment - it unfolds in the preparation, deepens during the experience, and continues long after the retreat ends.

To support you through every stage of your journey, your retreat includes:

  • A live group Zoom session before the retreat to help you connect with Amanda and the group, set intentions, ask questions, and energetically prepare for the experience ahead.

  • A post-retreat integration call to reflect, ground your insights, and carry your transformation into everyday life - with space to share what’s shifted, what’s arising, and what comes next,

  • A personal retreat workbook designed to deepen your experience and guide you through each step of the weekend and beyond.

You’ll be held - not just while you’re there, but in every phase of the journey. This isn’t just a retreat, it’s a remembrance of who you were - and who you’re here to become.

Early Bird Exclusive Offer

If you sign up and pay by 15th April 2026, you’ll receive a private 1:1 session with Amanda (worth £575) to take place before the retreat - giving you bespoke guidance and preparation for your journey.
