DARE Deep Reset Retreat
With Barry McDonagh, Michelle Cavanaugh and Aida Beco
April 17 - 19, 2026
This intimate two-night retreat is designed for people living with anxiety who are ready to step out of constant effort and into genuine rest. Held in the calm countryside of West Lexham Manor, the weekend blends practical DARE-based recovery insight with gentle wellness practices, time in nature, and deep nervous-system settling. Guided by experienced facilitators, the focus is not on fixing or forcing, but on creating the right conditions for calm, confidence, and clarity to return naturally.
