We, Debbie Beauchamp and Hugh Newton ran the first Coming Home retreat in February 2024, excerpts of which were included in the documentary Boarding on Insanity. The feedback we received from participants was that they received great value from the retreat.

​​

We are running our second Coming Home Retreat from 10th – 13th July 2025 and invite you to join us if you have attended Boarding School and wish to bring understanding and healing to your experience during that time.

​

The retreat will provide you with an opportunity to explore, transform and heal negative experiences resulting from this time. In our experience, when our needs are not met during childhood, they continue to impact us into adulthood, particularly with regard to our behaviours and beliefs. Our focus this weekend is to support you to bring healing to your “inner child” and bring them back home with kindness and compassion.

​

On the retreat, we explore the impact of your time at boarding School with a focus on:

​

• Understanding what it was like for your child/teenager to experience boarding school and the long-term impact of this.

• Identifying your needs that were not met at that time and how you, as an adult, can meet them now.

• Identifying your unhealthy beliefs and behaviours created from your experience so you can continue to heal and transform.

• You having space for your experience and feelings to be heard and held.

• Your experience of losing your home and family security and how this has continued to affect you as an adult.

• Exploring how boarding school impacted your relationship with your parents, siblings, and loved ones so that you can bring honesty, reconnection and peace where possible.

 

Our invitation is to bring your boarding school child home so that they are connected, nurtured, cared for and protected, so that you can know your innocence and bring wonder, play and joy back into your life.

​

You will be witnessed with presence, safety and compassion as you share this time of your childhood and how it affected you.
