Turning Point: A Journey of Transformation and Self-Discovery"
Perhaps you’ve heard of the story of a child who questions his tribe’s folklore about the internal struggle between the good and the bad wolf by asking an Elder:
“How do we know which wolf will win?”
The Elder replies:
“It depends which one you feed”...
Within each of us, a battle rages between light and shadow, much like the folklore of the two wolves. At Verziere Sanctum, we believe that the key to personal transformation lies in nourishing the aspects of ourselves that lead to growth, healing, and wholeness. This is the essence of our Turning Point program—a transformative 10-day retreat designed to help you navigate the inner landscape of your soul.

Our experienced therapists specialize in transpersonal hypnosis, past life regression, and shadow work, providing a unique blend of transformative modalities to guide you on your journey.

Healing the Wounded healer
Remember: Even therapists need Therapy
Brave Birds Fly Thru the Fog
After years of being there for others, wounded healers need their own space and time to work on their own issues.
This is the journey from being the wounded healer to living the potent medicine you give to others for yourself.
.
We will explore your shadows along with the mythical archetypal story of Chiron as the wounded healer and your own personal story to allow, open, and create more: connection, confidence, self-worth in unlocking creativity, belonging to your tribe, healing family dynamics, aligning emotional stability, and balance for more security in personal and professional relationships.
We will work with Shadow alchemy, which is about pulling everything out and even more from one particular experience to understand how the shadow archetypes are operating within us and condition us to repeat the same experiences over and over.
Feelings and thoughts, lead to other feelings, thoughts, belief systems, and patterns that the client is not willing or could not see or feel or become aware of fully. Committing to seeing fully this shadow allows the process to unfold and get to the bottom of the reality behind it.
Once everything from that specific experience has been explored, the therapist assists the client with honing in on the specific archetypes and personalised phrases, feelings, and belief systems. In Shadow Alchemy, telling and explaining the story of the experience takes a secondary role, to seeing and realising the shadow patterns and mechanisms that we are operating in.
This sojourn will consist sessions ranging from exploring who we are via Shadow work, active Imagination, Active Dreaming , Regression work. And Life Between Life sessions. This highly Individualized process is a journey from being the wounded healer to living the potent medicine we give to others for ourselves...

Turning Point Healing
A Turning Point can become a time of decisive change. It’s when things cannot go on as before and you seek to discover how to guide your way.
What is it?
Turning Point Residential Healing Retreat, is an intensive program created to help people who have chosen to change their lives, transform, heal, and move forward. It is open to anyone who has these desires, wishes, and commitments.
Individualized Programs
As each of us are following an individual path, so too do our therapeutic and healing methods vary according to what you need. The focus is that you receive what you need. Each Turning Point program is different for each person.
What to expect
Support, Unconditional witnessing, mentoring, steps to feel your own inner wisdom and connect to your own inner compass to guide yourself.
Optional daily group meditations begin your day here to ground yourself and closing meditations facilitate the time and energy to allow yourself a moment of integration and inner peace.
Time alone to Integrate and Time together with other Participants.
Location
Set in Tuscany between the mountains and the sea one can walk on the beach, in the forest, or in the town centre just a few minutes away. The Sanctum sits within a garden of fruit and olive trees and also has a meditation hut, and a small creek on the grounds for walks or contemplation.
Nourishing body and spirit
Ayurvedic massages will be arranged from a centre we have been collaborating with for over nine years. For those who prefer not to have a massage there is also reflexology and reiki, or other options to consider that help integrate mind and body such as Tai chi, Qi Gong or Yoga. What's most important is that you can work with what feels comfortable at the rhythm that suits you.
Follow up
We create a regular and consistent form of post Turning Point check-ins as well as exercises and sessions that reinforce your ability to follow the next steps you planned and when necessary we help you to adjust them accordingly. In some situations we may recommend continued therapies and exercises. Best results come from attending one Turning Point and a few months later returning to create a complete transformation.
Background
Since the founding of Verziere Sanctum, the Turning Point Retreats have unfolded organically with a constant focus on personal development in small groups and individuals in order to provide people with the attention and support they require.
Our program is based upon many decades of working with clients and with collaborating with other therapists.
The insights developed from these experiences have led us to thoughtfully combine several methods in practice along with daily debriefing among the therapists to gain a broader perspective in order to create deeper, more profound ways of transformation and develop the next active steps in one's life journey.
Supervision and Feedback
Another important baseline for our program came from years of working on supervised weekends with therapists and volunteers collaborating together for five to seven day periods. Our therapists would work in pairs with one observing and the other facilitating. Between supervision and debrief discussions individual methodologies evolved with the support and collaboration of the observing and participating therapists and their supervisors. This also often included the feedback of the volunteer as well.
Remember even therapists need therapy. Our own therapists continue working with their own personal development both for themselves as growing beings and to be better therapists. Therefore we welcome therapists who need a retreat or respite in order to integrate all they are experiencing.
It is also possible to organise an Individual Turning Point:
working with our therapists in pairs, creating a unique program for yourself that is residential.
Transformation game
The Transformation Game is a board game created by the Findhorn Foundation.
Imagine a game that works with memory and bringing to conscious mind unconscious patterns. A game that helps you to connect to your true Self, to gain insight into what is truly going on in your life, to realise how to transform the things that are holding you back, challenging, or frustrating you, and to discover potential solutions that work for you.
To begin you discuss and refine what your intention really is.
Then you activate a connection with the game .
After you work with confirming your intention
and then
you roll for your cards which are placed in your unconscious envelope
As the game unfolds you work with memory and discovering resources that you had forgotten, understanding more about past memories and through gaining a broader perspective you find your strengths and insights from within.
While you progress through the levels you learn more about yourself until by the end of the game you are ready to create your next steps and feel inspired to follow them.
The cards are a fundamental part in guiding the process, there are six kinds:
• The Angel cards: Higher energy and archetype wisdom.
• Insights: Represent ideas and ways of moving forward.
• Setbacks: A way of looking into a problem or situation.
• Awareness: Tokens with single words which reflect back a player's growing consciousness and progress in the game.
• Universal Feedback: Cards which mirror the universe in relation to the individual player. It is amazing to experience feedback in the game and work with it, emulating how to cope with feedback in life. It helps you understand another point of view.
• Blessings: Tokens to help you move up faster and clear away pain.

Regression for Regressionists is about following that call....working on ourselves makes us better therapists and enhances our connection to our souls.
