Walking away doesn’t mean giving up
One step at a time
It means rewriting your story...

What We Do at The Manse Retreat
​
At The Manse Retreat, we specialise in private, 3-day one-to-one retreats for those navigating emotional trauma, PTSD, or profound grief. Whether you're carrying the weight of past experiences or learning to live with the loss of someone you love, we offer compassionate, neuroscience-based support that helps you reset your nervous system, release emotional pain, and reconnect with life.
​
Created by Kim and Carl Dourish—founders of The Manse Method® and featured across national and International media, our approach is gentle, powerful, and deeply personal. No group work. No pressure to talk. Just real transformation in a peaceful, held space.

We’re Kim and Carl, founders of The Manse Retreat and creators of The Manse Method®. With decades of experience in emotional transformation, we help you make real, lasting change using neuroscience-backed techniques and one-to-one support.

We offer two private 3-day retreats—one for emotional healing, and one for grief and loss, as well as individual consultations
