“The Wild Edge retreat was held in a stunning & very special location in the Wye Valley. There was a strong sense of safety and support emerging in the lovely group of people who were drawn here. Poppy gently guided us through a really creative variety of constellations to help us understand the work, in a way which I think was very supportive for those new to this way of working. I really appreciate the attunement, gentleness, humour & a deep connection to nature and her heart which Poppy brings to her facilitation and holding of a group. She facilitated the personal family constellations with great care and I loved both her creativity and sensitivity to working with clients who have experienced trauma. I loved how she wove in connection to the land, taking us to visit places around us, including an ancient Yew tree, giving us a sense of the history of where we were. I am so grateful for the space to do some really deep work, held as well by all the beautiful woods, fields, views over to the mountains, horses, saunas, natural swimming pool, the owners of Trealy farm & their beautiful dog, and the abundance of delicious food. Thank you!”

“It is so hard to put the retreat experience into words. It really was like entering another world - a beautiful one of warmth, love, connection and deep feeling. The physical environment was absolutely stunning in itself. But even better was the gorgeous group of women you attracted and of course you and your amazing facilitators (not to mention the incredible home cooked food prepared with such love and care, I’ve never felt so nurtured in all my life!) The work was beyond fascinating and I now see why no one can quite put into words what family constellations is. Remarkable to watch and even more mind blowing to be a participant. The deep release that was facilitated by you felt like I removed thousands of layers that I’ve been carrying around without even knowing it. I left feeling deeply connected to myself, my heart and my soul. The 5 Rhythms work faciliated by the wonderful Sherron was such a beautiful complement to the Family Constellations. It was so wonderful to be able to move in a way I never usually would. Fun and purely joyful as well as an emotional release of all that had come before. I feel like I’ve lived a thousand lives all within 2 days!! Oh and the horses, that’s a whole other story, but I could go on all day. Needless to say, I will be back!!!”
“Thank you so much, Poppy for holding such a containing space that gave permission to all that wanted to emerge. I’m so grateful for that deeply embodied experience. And surprised by what and who was present in and for me.”

“I just want to reiterate my thanks for yesterday. It felt like deep, deep, other-worldly soul work and I experienced you and Naphia as very grounding and safe space-holders. The whole day really blew my away. I’m excited to see how the work will unfold in my life!”

“I cannot recommend Poppy Altmann’s and Naphia Reggiani’s workshops enough. They are mindblowing and take healing to the next level.”
