The Walters Method
is a felt-sense practice that allows you to uncover and gently release all that is keeping you from being the best version of yourself. There is growing evidence of how it transforms lives in as little as 3 one-hour sessions, and used as a daily practice it builds inner peace, presence and clarity of purpose. You can read much more about it here
On this 5 night, full board, supported TWM retreat you can:
Find the clarity and inner resolve to create the life you are here to live.
Become aligned with your values and pupose.
Learn and practice (or revisit) felt-sense exercises that free your body from traumatic memories, fears and shut-downs.
Experience deep meditations to find inner stillness, emotional freedom and compassion.
Spend quiet, reflective time at a deeply spiritual venue in the company of a like minded and friendly group.
Saunter along the banks of stunning Lake Albano with views of Castel Gandolfo.
Deepen your self-understanding with TWM exercises, periods of silence, satsang and dream workshops.
“I feel constantly blessed to be part of a community of people who share such love and connection!” – says Hazel who will be a guide on the 2026 retreat.
“Palazzola will always remind me of feeling safe and calm.” – Zoe after the 2019 retreat.
“It has been everything I hoped for. I am rested, expanded, deepened and hopeful” – Sue after 2018 retreat.
“I am so grateful for such a time to immerse myself in these beautiful and peaceful surroundings, feeling nurtured and cared for so lovingly by the Palazzola staff.”
“Very well held. Safe, flexible, skillful guidance. I have really let go of trauma I was holding in my body. Feel so free, like I have let go of my past”
