Embodied Sovereignty
A 5-day summer retreat on boundaries and the desires that move you
5th - 10th August 2025
Join The RetreatThis is an invitation to come home to yourself; a sanctuary of spaciousness, soulful connection, and profound self-discovery in the nurturing Somerset countryside.
We rarely give ourselves permission to truly notice what's happening within us.
The subtle signals that arise in our body, the edges of our boundaries, and the powerful current of our desires that can guide us toward more authentic relationships and a more vibrant life.
Over 5 days we will rediscover the wisdom of our bodies and learn to trust ourselves deeply again. We'll reconnect with authentic desires, find the courage to speak what's truly on our minds, and experience relating wholeheartedly and powerfully.
Do you want to
Speak Your Truth and be Truly Heard
Conversations can feel delicate, like walking on soft ground where you're afraid of saying the wrong thing and disrupting the connection you cherish.
Reconnect with Your Deepest Desires
Your desires have become muted, buried under years of adapting to others' expectations, leaving you disconnected from what you truly want.
Learn to Set Boundaries Without Guilt
Setting boundaries feels terrifying, with the constant fear of disappointing others leaving you exhausted from putting everyone else first.
Create More Depth in Your Relationships
You sense a deeper way of relating – moments of connection that feel more alive. You're ready to bring more vulnerability and true understanding into your relationships.
Renew Yourself in Nature's Embrace
You're craving a retreat where growth happens not through intensity, but through spaciousness. A peaceful sanctuary of nourishing food, gentle movement, and time to breathe.
At the heart of this experience is a powerful fusion of three complementary approaches:
the clarity of the Wheel of Consent
the honesty of Authentic Relating
the wisdom of Embodiment
Through these practices and the collective intelligence of the group, we'll create a unique space where transformative experiences become embodied wisdom that remains with you long after our time together ends.
"I 100% recommend this to others, it has revolutionised my world."
Lisa W, Educator
What we'll explore
1. Breaking Free From Relational Patterns With The Wheel of Consent
Deep practice in every quadrant of the Wheel of Consent, with spaciousness to truly embody it. This richer exploration includes curriculum elements normally reserved for professional trainings that we simply can't fit into weekend workshops. Experience the Wheel with more depth and new practices which uncover hidden patterns in your relating.
2. What's Mine What's Yours
Explore the powerful concept of domain - what you're responsible for and what you're not. Discover how we mistakenly take on emotions, tasks, and burdens that aren't ours, and gain clarity that allows you to recognise these patterns and return to your natural sovereignty.
3. Embodied Wisdom Practices
Discover how your body naturally communicates your boundaries, desires, and choices - often before your mind catches up. Through accessible embodiment practices, you'll learn physical ways to express yourself more clearly: how to take up space when needed, deliver a "no" that feels both firm and kind, and open yourself to receiving what you truly want. These aren't just retreat experiences - they're practical tools you'll carry into every relationship and interaction in your daily life.
4. Authentic Relating and Circling
Learn practices that help you stay centred in your sovereignty even during emotional intensity. These tools show you how to communicate with both love and impact - whether setting boundaries, expressing desires, or navigating disagreements. Discover how to remain authentic while staying connected, transforming challenges into opportunities for deeper understanding.
Nourishment for body, heart and soul.
Alongside our group sessions, there is ample space to enjoy the retreat's nurturing environment. This wholeness of experience helps integrate your discoveries on all levels:
Morning yoga
if you want it, with Rebecca Murray, an incredible Yogi with over 20,000 hours teaching experience. Feel the soft Somerset air on your skin as you stretch.
Sauna and Hot Tub
for unwinding under the stars, letting the day's insights settle into your body.
Delicious vegetarian food
and time to enjoy it. Space for walks, for resting and for conversation that goes beyond small talk.
Evening Fires
for sharing, the crackle of flames and scent of woodsmoke as the sun fades into night.
Community Connection
You'll find yourself part of a temporary community built on unusual honesty and acceptance. The connections formed during these five days are often nurturing and supportive, offering a different quality - more direct and real - than those in everyday life.
“This showed me that I really do know what I want when I slow right down.
It helped me to experience my true yes and no and bring boundaries into my body.”

A day at the retreat
Imagine waking up to the soft Somerset countryside. There's no rush. The day unfolds with spaciousness:
7:30 - Optional yoga to awaken the body with Rebecca Murray. She tailors the session to the flow of the retreat.
8:30 - Breakfast at your own pace. A spread nourishing and delicious food is laid out - carefully designed to sustain energy and vitality throughout the day.
10:00 - Morning session: embodiment practices together and deep dive into one theme. Plenty of time to work with each other and reflect on discoveries.
13:00 - Lunch break - time to walk, rest, connect (or even visit the 1700 year old Yew tree 2 mins walk away).
15:00 - Afternoon session: More practice, embodiment and supportive theory. Authentic relating in small groups to integrate experience.
18:00 - Free time for reflection, walking or conversation
19:00 - Dinner together, often filled with laughter and discoveries from the day
20:00 - Evening gathering around the fire or hot tubs and sauna under the stars (optional)
What you'll leave with
Greater Confidence
Freedom to be fully yourself without apology. Stand firmly in your "no" and wholeheartedly in your "yes." Cultivate a deep knowing of your gentleness and your strength, transforming how you show up in every relationship. Experience the natural power that comes from clear boundaries and the ability to connect authentically with others.
Embodied Awareness
An aliveness with what's happening within you moment by moment. Clear recognition of your body's signals when excitement beckons you toward something wonderful or before discomfort escalates. Rediscover your inner compass - wiped clean of doubt and hesitation - allowing you to navigate with confidence toward what nurtures you and away from what doesn't.
Relational Intelligence
Insights that emerge from lived experience in relationship with others. Discover fresh perspectives on your patterns and habits that have remained invisible until now. Take home practical exercises and approaches that continue revealing new layers of understanding long after the retreat ends. Gain the kind of intuitive skill that transforms difficult conversations into opportunities for genuine connection.
Nourishment
True rejuvenation that comes from slowing down enough to actually feel yourself again. Unlike intensive seminars that overload your mind, this retreat creates space for integration through multiple forms of nourishment: delicious wholesome meals, gentle movement practices with an exceptional yoga teacher, soothing sauna sessions, countryside walks, and restorative sleep. Experience the rare sustenance that comes from authentic connection within community. You'll leave with your deeper wells filled and your body, heart and mind renewed.
Meet The Team
I'm Adam Taffler, the creator of Togetherness and I will be guiding you on this journey along with 2 exceptional facilitators.
As a team, we're here in service to your journey. We bring different perspectives and share a common purpose: to support you in lovingly discovering more about yourself and emerging from these five days with renewed clarity and presence.
About me...
I've walked the path from people-pleaser to embodied sovereignty myself, which is why I'm so passionate about guiding others through the Wheel of Consent. After years studying with its creator, Dr. Betty Martin, I've helped thousands discover new dimensions of choice and connection in their lives.
My own struggles taught me how exhausting it is to abandon your needs, only to swing into demanding and resentment mode when you're depleted. This personal journey is at the heart of my work.
Over a decade ago, I founded Shhh Dating—a non-verbal dating experience—and began organising festivals celebrating human connection. Watching people transform when given permission to be authentic has been my greatest teacher. With 2,000+ hours of training behind me, I create warm, safe spaces where you can explore what true sovereignty feels like in your body and relationships.
