The Way Of The Emotional Laxative
Letting Go & Reconnecting To Yourself with Gareth Riddy
This 2-hour immersive experience is an invitation to pull back from the noise and journey inward. Held in the quiet, candlelit sanctuary of Be. The Underground Retreat, this session is designed to help you identify what you are carrying and—more importantly—how to finally let it go.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Gareth leads a session focused on undoing the impact the modern world has on our internal systems. It is an exploration of emotional hygiene, designed to help you clear the "old emotional crap" that often gets projected onto our lives and loved ones. Described as an "emotional laxative," Gareth’s approach is about deep release. Expect a raw, honest, and transformative process that encourages you to soften your defences and clear out internal blockages to make room for genuine inner guidance.
As the emotional clearing concludes, we move into a period of deep stillness. This is the space where you can reconnect with yourSelf without the weight of the baggage you walked in with.
We finish the session with dedicated time for gentle transition. You will be served a nourishing grounding drink and a mindful snack, allowing you to slowly re-emerge and connect with the community before heading back into the world.
Note on Intensity: This session involves deep emotional work. If you are currently navigating severe acute trauma or clinical psychosis, please reach out to us beforehand to ensure this session is the right fit for your current needs.
MEET OUR GUEST FACILITATOR
Gareth Riddy is the author of How to Undo the Sh!t the Modern World Does to Us and a dedicated healer and teacher of healing. Often referring to himself as an "emotional laxative," Gareth specialises in helping individuals release accumulated emotional weight. A full-time nomad on a continuous spiritual quest, he follows his inner guidance across the globe, last seen in Georgia, making friends with the local street dogs and cats while exploring the deeper meaning of "home".
