Therapeutic Coaching Experiences
WalkIn . . . DanceOut
WalkIn . . . DanceOut
A range of embodied Therapeutic Coaching experiences to rediscover the spring in your step, the rhythm in your flow and the song in your heart.
Short introduction to the experience we invite you into....
Are you longing for genuine connection, meaningful conversation, and perspectives that lift rather than weigh you down?
Is your body calling for safety, peace, relaxation, or simple, unfiltered joy?
Are you seeking deeper and more meaningful relationship to yourself and those closest to you, be it a spouse, partner, family member, or a group of friends/colleagues, we welcome you all.
And if you’d like to be guided by two people who have always followed their intuition and walked (and danced) the paths less travelled, you’re in good company.
Carmen Rendell — global explorer and Walking Therapist.
Andrew Cuerden — former international DanceSport champion and BBC Strictly Come Dancing professional, now a therapeutic dance and life coach.
Welcome to our WalkIn...DanceOut Retreats: a personal mind, body, and soul enrichment experience.
We host them in our home town of Richmond, but also in selected homely venues around the world. See our 2026 dates below.
Our retreats weave gentle and compassionate therapeutic activities together with light-hearted joyful social sharing and celebration along with a good dose of down-time. Which altogether enable profound reflection, relaxing and rebalancing.
A chance to find your harmony within the dance of life... gently, naturally, and in your own rhythm and style.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT OUR
WALKIN . . . DANCE OUT RETREATS.
We guarantee you gentle care, lived wisdom and deep presence within beautiful, comfortable and nourishing surroundings, that will ground your body and uplift your spirit. A truly sole to soul experience.
We believe in simple and timeless practices as the foundations of wellbeing. From the physical essentials of clean air (breath), water, food, shelter, movement and sleep. To the non-physical qualities of honesty, love, integrity and joy.
Everything on our retreats is invitational. Allowing you the freedom to choose the depth and pace of engagement. You are always in control of your experience.
We believe that integrity and integration are cornerstones of wellbeing. That one must sincerely seek honest and loving: awareness, discernment, alignment, connection and expression of self (Mind, Body and Soul) so as to be a wholesome, valuable and harmonious human.
In keeping with our core mission of "Bridging Worlds" we do our best to integrate and reconcile science, psychology, therapy and spirituality to form powerful lenses through which to view and understand self and life. We are inclusive of all faiths and wisdoms and beliefs as long as they are aligned with love and honesty.
All of the practices we facilitate, and wisdom's we share, have been profound tools in our own wellbeing journey and pillars of our lives.
Mindfullness, Meditation, Deep Listening, Breath, Yoga, Walking and Dance.
Days will begin...gentle, slow, quiet and reflective. Building into afternoons of joyful expression, exploration and connection. Then winding down with evenings of reflection, integration and appreciation.
Our walks are all about the depth of presence, connection and appreciation of ourselves, each other and surroundings...not the distance, destination or endurance. Our walks are slow and intentional. Punctuated with mindful exercises such as breath based meditations that help ground, regulate and balance the nervous system as well as opening the heart and mind to inspiration, as well as genuine appreciation and expression.
"We are only as sick as the secrets we keep" - Gabor Matè
The dancing, is not for performance, but for "transformance". It is mindful, metaphoric and thought provoking. Using movements and music that enable changes in ones mental, emotional and physical state. From gentle and slow to fast and fun, with and without a partner. A wonderful way of rediscovering and understanding the language of your body, to express what is true and release what is heavy.
Accommodations are luxurious, comfortable and homely. With wonderful beds that allow you deeply surrender to the peace, quiet and darkness of the countryside for profoundly restorative sleep.
Food is incredibly important to us. Not only in its nutritional and flavourful value but also it's power to bring people together with joy.
