1-2-1 SHIFT RETREATS
For people who are done waiting for change - and ready to create it.
You're stuck and want to change.
You've read the books. Done the therapy. Journaled. You can name your patterns - the people-pleasing, the conflict avoidance, the shrinking, the over-managing of everyone else's emotions.
You can see the life that's possible. The health. The relationship. The career that actually means something.
And yet nothing has fundamentally changed.
You still keep circling the same ground. You still create the same outcomes - often without realising you're doing it.
This isn't because you're broken. It's because understanding a pattern doesn't always break it. Your nervous system is still running the old identity on auto pilot. Until that shifts, your life won't.
There's a point where seeking more understanding becomes another way of staying stuck. That’s where embodiment opens new doors of possibility.
What happens in ‘The Shift’
This program is not about validating your story.
Nor is it about endlessly discussing your childhood or your trauma. Not because we don’t care but because we see that unconscious loops keep you stuck.
The Shift will show you how to fully see your loops, without judgement, so you can reclaim your power to change them.
From there we will help you to consciously choose the identity you want and crucially how you can actually embody it, right now.
This Shift is designed around intensive group sessions and will provide guidance, integration and identity stabilisation for people who are ready for real change.
We use tools like insight, enquiry, heart coherence practices and guided meditation. Tools that you will be able to powerfully apply and use in your day to day life.
This is for you if you are truly done with playing the same patterns over and again. If you are ready, then so are we.
Client Reviews
"Uncovering what my heart truly desires, resolving the core issue underlying nearly everything on the list (safety, in my case), education into the nature of quantum alignment and creation... bringing the knowing of that vision into my body so it is now real for me. Today. No need to wait.”
— Nicola (Entrepreneur)
The work I did with Linda and John has changed the way I see myself and my life. I feel more grounded, and my sense of safety comes much more from within. I can cope with situations that used to derail me, and the neverending internal conversation has quietened down so much. I’m able to live more in the present, rather than being caught up in the past or worrying about the future. Old patterns and the old identity still appear sometimes, but I feel so much more free and I'm genuinely excited to see where my journey takes me.
— Reece (DJ & Producer)
Working with John and Linda during a bespoke retreat was extraordinarily powerful, rewarding, certainly emotionally demanding at times and ultimately has been joyfully transformative. They were incredibly generous, creating intimacy and trust through the sharing of their own lived experience, as well as being both challenging yet respectful in the areas where I was blocking my expansion. My experience during their guided meditations was extraordinary and it is not too extreme to say I could feel the cells of my body literally vibrate at a whole different level. I manifested positive change in real time AND in addition, the brain scanner I was wearing reflected this shift in my physiology. To see the proof of your felt experience is incredibly powerful.
I came away from the retreat, excited about and committed to my own life's joy and have seen incredible changes in many parts of my life already and at high speed.

About The Experience
What We Offer:
Three full days working closely and personally with both John and Linda, in a private environment designed to feel like a sanctuary rather than a seminar room.
Every retreat is tailored to you — your challenge, your patterns, your readiness. You'll work with HeartMath biofeedback sensors and Muse brainwave technology, not as novelties, but as real-time windows into your own nervous system and inner state.
You'll take home a HeartMath sensor and meditation eye patch so the work doesn't stop when you leave. And rather than sending you away dependent on more sessions, you'll leave with a simple, grounded practice you can sustain yourself.
All clients are taken through a process to see, feel, and shift who they are being in relation to their challenge, so that they leave empowered to continue a process of embodiment far beyond the retreat
What We’ll Explore:
This isn't a curriculum — it follows you. But the territory we move through together tends to include:
The feeling beneath the goal — what you truly want to create, and the felt sense you believe it will bring, accessed now rather than deferred to some future version of your life.
The patterns underneath the stuck — the identity, the quiet resistances, the inner conflicts that have kept things in place despite your best efforts.
A direct experience of becoming — guided deep meditation that makes your next chapter real in your body, not just your mind.
A grounded path forward — practical and personal, so you can continue to live and reinforce this new identity long after the retreat ends.
A Retreat Like No Other
This isn’t therapy & its not coaching like you’ve known it before…
It’s about surfacing and seeing through the patterns and inner conflicts that are keeping you stuck, and helping you experience what it feels like to come home to yourself, in real time, not just as a concept. From this space you can choose and embody a new identity, which is more in alignment with what you want to create.
We combine deep insight with nervous system coherence, brainwave calibration, and heart-based practices, all guided in real-time by both John and Linda
You will leave the retreat with a new embodied sense of identity and the tools to continue the journey yourself, without lots of follow up coaching sessions
If you’ve tried traditional approaches and still feel something is missing… this might be the piece you’ve been waiting for.
What We Explore In ‘The Shift’
Why your identity - not your circumstances - is creating your reality, and how to change it.
The nervous system patterns that keep you locked into old behaviours, even when you "know better."
How to move from intellectual understanding to lived embodied change - and why most people never make that jump.
A clear vision for who you want to become - not a vague affirmation, but a felt, specific, actionable identity.
How to navigate the friction between who you've been and who you're becoming - because that friction is where most people quit.
Practices and tools to stabilise the new version of you so the change actually lasts.

Breakthrough That Guides
John & Linda El-Mokadem
This work does not come just from theory, but from deep lived experience. John made a full recovery from chronic fatigue which at its worst had left him hospitalised for 3 months. Linda healed from a stage 4 cancer diagnosis, challenging so many perceptions of what was possible. Both of us rebuilt our identities from the inside out.
Between us: 20+ years of transformational work, an APA-published research background, a psychology degree, and thousands of hours guiding people through the kind of change most practitioners only talk about.
In our 1-2-1 retreats we create a space that's safe enough to see clearly and direct enough to make sure you actually do something with what you see and become the powerful creator we know that you are.
