RETREAT: The Exhale Gathering UK in Yorkshire

The Exhale Gathering - Hawkhills, North Yorkshire | 11 - 13 JUNE 2027

A three-day retreat for breathwork practitioners, wellbeing professionals, and anyone who needs to remember what rest actually feels like. Co-facilitated by Sharyn With a Why and Marie Doherty throughout.

There is a place near York where the skies open wide and the land holds you before you have said a single word.

Hawkhills, North Yorkshire. Daffodils and hyacinths at the door. Trees you can walk among. A bug hotel at the edge of the grounds - small, quiet, and somehow rather profound.

The Exhale Gathering runs here across three days in June: Friday 11th to Sunday 13th, 2027.

This is a retreat. Not a workshop. Not a programme. A retreat - designed around the understanding that spaciousness is not a luxury bolted onto the edges of learning. It is the learning.

Sharyn With a Why and Marie Doherty are present and co-facilitating throughout all three days. Two experienced teachers in the room, from beginning to end - two perspectives, two relationships, and the depth that comes from holding space together.

The Three Days

These are our 3 branches and each day we will consider some or all the branches

•  TEA & the Craft 

This is genuine professional deepening. It is not an introductory overview. It is for practitioners ready to go further into the craft - to explore the edges of facilitation, to ask the questions they have not yet had space to ask, and to expand what is possible in the room.

Rigorous without being rigid. Expansive without being overwhelming.

• TEA & Business

This is honest, experienced business support. Sharyn brings her background as a sole trader and years in corporate accountancy, project management, and change direction to a room of people navigating the same terrain. Pricing. Bringing offerings to market. Creating programmes. Tech. All of it.

Not theory. Real expertise, generously shared.

• TEA & Tending 

This is restoration. Time in nature. An exploration of what active rest actually means - not just pausing, but genuinely restoring. A nervous system allowed to settle. Nothing required of you.

The Evening Business Masterminds

Both evenings after dinner.

Guests submit real business challenges ahead of the session. Two or three go into the hotseat - live coaching in front of the group. Everyone learns from watching a real challenge worked through honestly and in real time. No case studies. No hypotheticals.
