A retreat for experienced coaching professionals
Our Mastery with Soul retreat was born of the belief that the world needs the expertise, diverse experience and particular focus of each of the specialist coaching bodies, gathered together as a unified and enriched offering for experienced coaches. What if, as coaching and mentoring professionals, we embraced and embodied the best of what each professional body has to offer? What if we wove together an integrated focus on coaching competence, evidence-based approaches, systemic and somatic awareness, and creative reflective practice?
Mastery with Soul brings together what the British Psychological Society (BPS), the International Coaching Federation (ICF), and the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC) have to offer the coaching profession and our global clients.

Who is this for?
This retreat is for experienced coaches, mentors and coaching psychologists who want to invest deeply in their practice; for coaching professionals on a journey of mastery; and for those who simply want to slow down in a restful and restorative setting for themselves, to reconnect with your global purpose or recommit to personal values.
Mastery shifts us from filling in gaps in our knowledge, skill or experience into appreciating everything we have and why it is crucial in what we are doing and how we are being.
If you are wondering whether you can class yourself as experienced, then you should come!
If your focus is on seeking a ‘badge’ of mastery or searching for more tools, then this retreat is probably not for you.
We see the lack of diversity in the coaching field and invite experienced coaches from all backgrounds and intersectionalities to join this retreat.
We embrace the uniqueness that each of us brings. If there is anything that you personally need to make this a nourishing, safe and accessible experience for you, please let us know. And if cost is an issue, please get in touch for a conversation.
This retreat offers the following CCEUs and CPD
EMCC: up-to 6hrs supervision + c8hrs further CPD, depending on your choices.
Coaching Psychologists: up-to 6hrs supervision with RAPPS registered chartered coaching psychologist + c8hrs CPD.
ICF: up-to 6 core competency CCEUs from mentor coaching + c8hrs resource development CCEUs.
AC: up-to 6hrs supervision/mentor coaching + c8hrs CPD.
What can you look forward to?
Three to six hours of masterful mentor coaching with Clare Norman, contributing towards the ICF Master Coach Credential. Mentor coaching is a form of structured supervision involving observed coaching practice with focused feedback, and a powerful addition to our continuous professional development (CPD).
If you are en route to ICF MCC, this will give you some of the mentor coaching you need. Not an ICF coach? This presents an exciting opportunity to experience a distinguishing aspect of the ICF approach to professionalising coaching practice.
Three to six hours of group coaching supervision with Anna Springett and a group of fellow-professionals with similar levels of experience. As a Chartered Coaching Psychologist and psychological practice supervisor (BPS RAPPS), as well as a CSA accredited supervisor and EMCC Master Coach, Anna’s supervision contributes towards the BPS chartership process, as well as supporting coaching practice and CPD for all our professional coaching bodies.
Three to six hours of alone and communal time, in various forms of reflective practice.
A range of holistic practices to support your development as an embodied and systemically aware coaching professional, including yoga, sound bathing, and ecologically inspired reflection, with the whole experience wrapped in quality, comfort and nourishment.
Where is this retreat?
We will stay at the wonderful Warborne Farm, a 100-acre family run farm nestled between the Solent and the heathland and forest of the New Forest in Hampshire, United Kingdom.
Those who have seen ‘Farm Life’ on the Discovery Channel will have already met our warm and welcoming hosts; you can read more about the farm at www.warbornefarm.co.uk.
Warborne Farm invites us to relax and rejuvenate together in their traditional farm buildings that have been sympathetically and beautifully converted into high quality accommodation, using traditional materials and incorporating features that reflect their 180-year history. Warborne shares our values around kindness to the planet, being carbon neutral and using renewable energy sources for all its heating and hot water needs.
We will use their home-grown produce in our meal preparation, and you might wish to collect your own eggs for breakfast. We have an experienced cook and home economist planning our meals – please alert us to your dietary requirements in the registration form.
There is one accessible room available at the farm. We also have a glamping option where you get to stay in a beautiful Shepherd Hut at the farm.
We want to make sure you feel as welcome and comfortable as possible. If there is anything we have missed or that you need to know, please get in contact.
Testimonials
Brilliant! I had no idea what to expect as I’d never done anything like this before - it was fabulous. The location was wonderful, really well chosen. The links with creativity and nature were particularly powerful. As was the sound bathing on the first evening – a great way to slide into the retreat! The hosts’ dedication to my needs and experience was spot on, especially the ‘container’ they created that made it safe (for us to be vulnerable).
I loved it. Everything was thought of by Anna and Clare. There was warmth and welcome from the moment we arrived. The food was just delicious. The location was fabulous, quirky, animal heaven, gorgeous walks. The group that came together was just perfect – we had so much laughter and fun - great conversations. I really valued the learning experience, in a very safe and open space. It was all very relaxing and soulful, with plenty of time for alone time if needed. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish.
Attending the Mastery with Soul retreat in October 23 provided a wonderful opportunity for me to reset. Being able to coach others and receive feedback was a great opportunity to stay sharp and continuously improve. The retreat had the perfect balance of mentor coaching, group supervision and sessions for personal growth. Nothing is compulsory so I didn’t feel pressured. With a fabulous group of professionals, there was depth in the sessions and rich conversation and laughter over amazing meals and during downtime. A great place to stay, I left feeling resourced and relaxed and would highly recommend it to others.
The experience was excellent; thought provoking, restful, fun, relaxing, and challenging. The care and thought that Clare and Anna had clearly put into all aspects. It felt very generous. The great contracting at joining and ending created great safety. I liked the choice element, that nothing was compulsory; it was great that most people co-created each activity as there was learning from each other.
