One day retreat to 

Meet Your Imposter

This is a unique 1-day immersion into a boutique retreat experience, to meet and embrace those parts of you that formulate your IMPOSTER self.

Your IMPOSTER self are those parts that involve self doubt, fear of failure, perfectionism, discounting praise, even overworking.

This boutique experience has been carefully curated to allow you to safely meet and greet your IMPOSTER self with kindness.

A one day retreat, with two highly skilled practitioners, you will learn to work from your heart within the safe setting of a group.

Collectively we will gently explore where and how doubting yourself stops you moving forward.

Feeling safe to actively work on your road blocks, teaches you how to get out of your own way in terms of avoidance and procrastination.

Face your fears in a safe and gentle way that allows you to identify exactly what you need to invite and call forward your positive parts like self-confidence and trust in self. 

Embrace those empowered parts deep within, to build your resilience and enable yourself to meet your imposter part with gentle kindness.

Meet Your Imposter Retreat Day has something to offer every woman seeking to learn how to face off with procrastination, avoidance and those wretched feelings of CAN’T BE BOTHERED!!!

This unique Retreat experience provides the participant with an opportunity to work with two experienced practitioners – Karen Humphries Samantha Bingham!

You will experience a variety of holistic and alternative practices to meet and greet that part called IMPOSTER.

This is your opportunity to –

  • breath away the doubt or need to control
  • melt the fear
  • circuit break the over thinking and worry
  • unwrap that knot of perfectionism

Join Kaz & Sam to explore those parts of you that generate obstacles in your life. Participate in a therapeutically safe space to learn how to you build your capacity to live the life you have always dreamed of.

The MEET YOUR IMPOSTER Retreat was held Sunday 23rd March 2025.

Imagine for a moment, when you have been working towards achieving something special. Picture the sensation you feel when you finally experience the euphoria of connecting with your dream and desires.

Was or is that vision clear?

Can you connect with the enormity of those success sensations??

But here’s the thing, if you’ve landed here, it’s likely that the confidence bubble bursts before you fully embrace those success sensations.

Have you struggled to achieve all that you want?

Does your IMPOSTER make an appearance and bust up the scaffolding of the foundations of your strength and resilience?

When you’re thinking or planning your success outcomes, is there self doubt?

Perhaps fear of failure?

Maybe it becomes hard to go with the flow and you feel the need to obsess or control the outcome?

These are the features of your imposter  self. We all have an imposter and it’s part of your sub conscious defence mechanism. Your imposter role is to keep you safe!

Imagine what you might say to your imposter if you could meet that part of you in a safe and neutral place?

It’s your IMPOSTER that

  • feels the doubt and fear
  • drives your need for everything to be planned, perfect or in control
  • struggles to accept compliments
  • feels obligated to alway work
  • has a head full of too many thoughts or overthinks everything

I wonder if life might feel different if you could soothe your imposter with positive resources and kindness.

Do you often feel tired, not because you’ve done too much, but because you’ve done too  little of what sparks light in your heart?

Key Objectives

  • Understanding Imposter Syndrome: Learn about the causes, symptoms, and impact of imposter syndrome.

  • Self-reflection Activities: Engage in exercises to identify personal triggers and strengths.

  • Building Confidence: Develop strategies to boost self-esteem and recognize achievements.

let me ask you to pause and wonder what it might be like-

  • if you met your IMPOSTER and gave her permission to pause or even take a break?
  • if your IMPOSTER actually holds wisdom from lessons learned bu not known how to feel safe to implement that knowledge and make significant changes in your life?
  • what you might do differently if you could soothe your IMPOSTER‘s fears?
  • Could your IMPOSTER soften if we introduced her to the supercharged part of you called BRAVE, CONSISTENT, COURAGEOUS and RESILIENT?
  • what life could be like if you met your IMPOSTER and gave her permission to pause or even take a break?

Come and join us at retreat and work with not one, but TWO experienced practitioners to find out how your IMPOSTER might release, delete and let go of old and unwanted reactions!

WHAT IS THE RETREAT AGENDA?

The day is broken into 90 minute modules with breaks to process new information. This allows you to step gently into the mix of who you and discover at a comfortable pace.

Karen utilises a number of relaxation and healing modalities including Mental Health Counseling, Intuitive Heart Meditation, Wellness Coaching, Resource Therapy, NLP, and CBT to provide participants with a gentle and peaceful practice.

Samantha has been invited as a special breathwork practitioner to support you to dig deep into your truth.

Why combine modalities?

Karen creates a unique blend of modality tools to enhance your capacity to experience and learn what works best for you. There are a myriad of techniques, tools and strategies that are shared within the retreat AND the retreat resource portal.

Kaz and Sam share a number of personal and professional experiences, whereby they share the philosophy of healing is that no single modality or tool is the single answer for your self-love journey.

The key to change is to know what tool to use in what situation.

As your Change Facilitator, Kaz & Sam recognise everyone will arrive with their own unique collection of experiences, tools and resources. No previous training or experience is required, all you will need is an open mind and open heart.

Please note that you will need to complete a medical disclaimer to participate within the rebirthing breathwork activity. Click here for more information.

Working together, Kaz & Sam will endeavour to provide you with a variety of opportunities to embrace the felt experience of peace and calm whilst embracing those parts of you that you’ve been avoiding.

We will work together to connect with the feeling of peace to enable you to consciously break down resistance to change. In turn, this enables you to learn how to restore calm in your life for the future, not just this retreat day’s experience.

The combination of tools empowers participants to accept the invitation to take a quantum leap in their own personal spiritual growth. When you activate the power of your natural-born alchemy, you enable light-charged transformation.
