sacred waters : a journey back to belonging

4 - 7 September 2025

Ready for a deep soul journey? Ready to let the consciousness of water and the consciousness in your breath unite, to hold you in a sacred space? Join Kerry Veitch & Jax Bull for a time for healing, connection and growth, as you are guided back to source, back to the essence of who you are and what you have come here to experience.

Each generation leaves a legacy for the next. We breathe the same air, walk on the same earth and drink the same water as our ancestors before us.  We also inherit many of the physical attributes and postures of our lineage and embody many of their behavioral patterns and beliefs. Some still work for us and many no longer serve our highest good.

These latent tendencies can be triggered at conception, gestation and birth. They can also show up later in life depending on our choices and our environment. As we resolve the patterns and traumas from past generations that we have embodied we free up ourselves as well as our family energy which in turn affects all humanity.  Our part is to end the cycle.

The indigenous tribes honor and pray to their ancestors with the understanding that by healing old wounds and embodying inherited talents they are opening doors to a better life for themselves and the next generation.  They hold a firm belief that this connection impacts seven generations in the past and seven future generations.

In this retreat through conscious connected breathing and self awareness techniques we will explore how we hold these patterns from the past in our body/mind and learn how to open to the freedom of the present.

THE BREATH IS A PORTAL TO THE MANY DIMENSIONS OF OURSELVES.

As we enter the portal we will:

  • Open a pathway to identify and transform unresolved family patterns in ourselves.

  • Release embodied holding patterns while maintaining healthy boundaries

  • Connect with the blessings and gifts of our lineage

  • Learn practical tools for personal healing

  • Make peace with the past in ourselves

  • Nourishing meals and teas

  • Warm water Breathwork

Counsellor | Coach | Breathworker | Ancestral Dance Facilitator

Jax, is a Counsellor, Guide, Breathwork and Ancestral Dance Facilitator, and Creator of everyday magical ceremony.

The Venue

Bonhays is situated in one of the most beautiful parts of southern England. Designated an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with a World Heritage Coastline just three miles away, the landscape here has a wonderful, nurturing presence, and includes beautiful views of the Dorset rolling hills.

Our village of Whitchurch Canonicorum has been associated with healing for many years. The saint connected with the church is not only a woman, but her relics are still present within the church. After she was martyred by the Danes in 831 her remains exuded an exceptional healing capacity and under her tomb is a shrine, a place of pilgrimage for hundreds of years.

Located 7 minutes from Charmouth and a short distance from Axminster train station. Travel by train for a truly relaxed experience.

co - lead Facilitator Kerry veitch

Kerry has been connected with Rebirthing Breathwork, for 30 years, with a focus now on embodiment practices such as Internal Family Systems and Eugene Gendlin's Focusing, as well as her shamanic studies with Northern Drum. Kerry has a trauma informed approach, and the owner and trainer of AIR School of Breathwork. 

Kerry loves to work with the consciousness in our breath and the consciousness of water, finding that the two love to dance together. Using the water's innate ability to hold people in loving presence, alongside its incredible memory of each and every one of us, she is able to guide people back to Source. When this happens, we are able to recode ancestral and birth imprints and move through a process into rebirth. (To give you an idea of how this might work; maybe contemplate that she has been at every birth on the planet!)

Kerry’s very grounded nature holds a very safe space for breathers, holding them in their highest potential and being committed to the unfolding of each person’s own journey which of course is guided perfectly by our breath.
