Upcoming Events
The Adult Soaring Spectrum Retreat is a three-day, immersive therapeutic program designed specifically for neurodivergent adults aged 26 years and over. Facilitated by a Clinical Psychologist and experienced support staff, the retreat offers a safe, supportive and neuro-affirming environment where participants can step away from the demands of everyday life, reconnect with themselves, build meaningful connections with like-minded peers, and develop practical strategies to support long-term wellbeing.
Many neurodivergent adults spend years navigating masking, burnout, chronic stress, self-doubt and feeling misunderstood. This retreat provides an opportunity to slow down, explore these experiences with compassion, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself in the company of others who genuinely "get it."
Throughout the weekend, participants will engage in evidence-informed workshops and experiential activities focused on:
- Understanding the neurodivergent nervous system and emotional regulation
- Recognising and recovering from autistic burnout and chronic overwhelm
- Executive functioning strategies for everyday life
- Identity, self-acceptance and reducing the impact of masking
- Managing perfectionism, self-criticism and unhelpful schemas
- Building healthy relationships, communication and boundaries
- Values-based living and sustainable self-care
- Creative therapeutic activities and reflective practices
- Supported social connection in a low-pressure, neuro-affirming environment
- Opportunities for sensory regulation, rest, mindfulness and quiet reflection
Our retreat embraces the diversity of neurodivergent experiences. Activities are designed to be flexible, strengths-based and respectful of individual support needs. There is no expectation to participate in every activity, and participants are encouraged to engage at a pace that feels safe and comfortable for them.
The goal of the retreat is for participants to leave feeling more connected to themselves and others, with increased self-understanding, practical strategies for daily life, greater confidence in advocating for their needs, and renewed hope for living authentically as a neurodivergent adult.
The Young Adult Soaring Spectrum Retreat is a three-day, immersive therapeutic program designed specifically for neurodivergent young adults aged 17–25 years. Facilitated by a Clinical Psychologist and experienced support staff, the retreat provides a safe, supportive and neuro-affirming environment where participants can build confidence, develop practical life skills, form meaningful connections, and explore the transition into adulthood alongside others with shared lived experiences.
The transition from adolescence to adulthood can bring unique challenges, including navigating education, employment, relationships, independence, identity, executive functioning demands and increasing expectations. This retreat is designed to support young adults in developing the knowledge, skills and confidence to navigate these challenges while fostering self-acceptance and a strong sense of belonging.
Throughout the weekend, participants will engage in evidence-informed workshops and experiential activities focused on:
- Understanding the neurodivergent nervous system and emotional regulation
- Executive functioning strategies for study, work and independent living
- Building confidence, resilience and self-advocacy
- Exploring identity, authenticity and reducing the impact of masking
- Managing anxiety, perfectionism and unhelpful self-beliefs
- Developing healthy relationships, communication and boundaries
- Navigating friendships, dating and social connection
- Values-based goal setting and planning for adulthood
- Creative therapeutic activities and reflective practices
- Supported social activities in a relaxed, low-pressure environment
- Opportunities for sensory regulation, rest, mindfulness and quiet reflection
Our retreat recognises that every young adult brings different strengths, experiences and support needs. Activities are designed to be flexible, strengths-based and respectful of individual preferences, with no expectation to participate beyond each person's comfort level. Participants are encouraged to engage in a way that feels safe, meaningful and authentic to them.
The goal of the retreat is for participants to leave feeling more connected to themselves and others, with greater confidence in their strengths, practical strategies to support daily life, and a stronger sense of direction as they move through adulthood.
