HELD - THE CREATIVE RESET RETREAT
A Retreat For The Ones That Hold So Much
"I am truly grateful for the depth of healing I experienced in such a safe and loving space"
A 3-Day Nervous System Restoration & Creative Recharge Retreat
An Invitation to Pause
Life moves fast. When was the last time you truly paused?
This retreat gives you space to breathe, reset, and reconnect with yourself.
Through guided breathwork, somatic practices, stillness, and community — you’ll return home with clarity, balance, and sustainable energy practices to carry into everyday life.
Maybe You Are Here Because

Burnout & Overwhelm

EMOTIONAL WEIGHT

Low Resilience

Dis-connection from Self
Why this Retreat?
This retreat is a pause from the noise — three days to slow down, breathe, and reconnect.
Creativity isn’t just about art — it’s the life force that fuels how you work, love, parent, and lead.
When constant output depletes that energy, clarity and joy fade.
Here, you’ll be supported through breathwork, somatic practices, and deep rest — so you can release what’s heavy, restore balance, and return home lighter, clearer, and re-energised
Why Attend?
This retreat is for anyone craving space to reset after giving so much.
It may be especially supportive if you’re:
✅ Running on empty after a high-output season of life
✅ Feeling emotionally drained, disconnected, or creatively blocked
✅ Always supporting others but rarely caring for yourself
✅ Craving rest, clarity, and time to reconnect with what matters
✅ Noticing fatigue, tension, or stress in your body
✅ Wanting simple tools to regulate your nervous system and sustain your energy

🧘♀️ Meet the Facilitators

✨ Arpita Karania
Breathwork Facilitator | Sound Healer | Cacao Guide | Transformational Coach
After 18 years as a recognised and established hair and makeup artist in the wedding industry, Arpita witnessed the toll that creative overdrive and constant output can take — physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Her own healing path led her to breathwork, somatic work, Vedic astrology, and coaching — tools that helped her move through grief, regulate her nervous system, and reconnect with her inner wisdom.
Now, she supports creatives in returning to the heart and staying rooted in their expression, while building nervous system resilience. Drawing on both science and soul, her work bridges beauty, energetics, and healing in a grounded and intuitive way.
The Held Retreat is a deeply personal offering — born from witnessing so many in her industry experience energy depletion. It’s her way of giving back.
At the retreat, Arpita will guide sound healing and cacao ceremonies, and hold space throughout the journey for you to soften, reconnect, and begin again.

🌀 Matthieu Duffy
Breathwork & Meditation Facilitator | Retreat Guide | Author
Matthieu is a grounded, intuitive space-holder who facilitates plant medicine and wellness retreats across Europe and Colombia. With a calm presence and deep listening, he creates environments where people can return to stillness and reconnect with themselves.
As a certified breathwork and meditation coach — and an author — Matthieu guides people back to presence through conscious breath, silence, and integration work. His approach is gentle yet potent, rooted in both presence and groundedness.
He brings a creative and contemplative lens to his work, shaped by years of personal practice and a deep connection to nature, rhythm, and ritual. Whether guiding in silence or through breath, Matthieu holds space with humility and care, allowing what needs to surface to do so gently and with respect.
At the Held Retreat, Matthieu will guide our breath journeys and support the rhythm of the retreat space — creating moments of pause, depth, and integration throughout the experience.

🌹 Henika Patel
Tantra & Yoga Teacher | Founder of the School of Sensual Arts | Author
Henika is author of SENSUAL: connect deeply, express freely, love intimately and founder of the School of Sensual Arts, which invites you to uplift blocks to deeper sensuality, creativity and intimacy — so you can experience more connection, aliveness and joy in yourself, your relationships and your life.
She creates experiences, community and education rooted in authentic tantra and yoga philosophy, blended with art, embodiment and psychology — offering expression to the unspoken parts of ourselves that long to be known, heard and accepted.
A first-generation Indian woman born in England, Henika left a corporate legal career after grief and numbness led her to return to her roots. She spent years in Asia studying tools for deeper connection, then trained in arts therapy and clinical psychotherapy.
She now combines tantra, yoga and Western psychology to turn the body back online. At Held, Henika will guide movement rooted in tantric principles — reconnecting you to pleasure, intuition, and your creative inner child.
