Fenton, Michigan
The Return
She has done the work. Therapy, coaching, retreats, the books, all of it. She knows herself well. And something is still running underneath all of that: a pattern that feels so much like her, she can’t imagine herself without it. It exhausts her. It overrides her knowing. It keeps showing up in her relationships, her work, and her relationship with herself.
What she doesn’t yet know is that pattern was never hers. It was inherited, passed forward through her lineage, through generations who also didn’t know it wasn’t theirs to keep.
This retreat traces it back to its actual origin, not intellectually but somatically, in the body, and completes it. She arrives carrying something that isn’t hers. She leaves without it.
This is not a wellness weekend. This is a return.
What Makes this Different
Intimate by design: Space is intentionally limited, with a small number of day experience passes and VIP overnight room options available.
A personal Human Design reading from Nadia delivered via Telegram before the retreat (details below)
Two facilitators whose work is genuinely complementary, held in one coherent arc
Lineage pattern completion work that goes where most retreats don’t
Spaciousness built in on purpose (white space is part of the design)
Nature, water, and the lake house setting are part of the container
Hosts
Beth James (Barefoot & Free) + Nadia Elmagrabi, MA (Psychotherapist + Lineage Alchemist)
Beth James(Somatic Embodiment • Feminine Leadership • Retreat Facilitation)
Beth James is the founder of Barefoot & Free and has spent over two decades creating spaces where women return to their bodies, their truth, and their sense of aliveness. Known for heart-led, grounded facilitation, Beth’s work blends somatic embodiment, movement, and deep emotional permission, helping women release performance, soften out of survival mode, and come home to themselves.
Nadia Elmagrabi, MA(Psychotherapy • Lineage Pattern Completion • Human Design)
Nadia Elmagrabi is a psychotherapist and lineage alchemist with 25 years of clinical experience. Their work sits at the intersection of somatic therapy, inherited pattern completion, Human Design, and intuitive guidance, built on one core understanding: the patterns that are hardest to shift are often not personal. When traced precisely to their source, they can be completed, not managed.
Why Beth + Nadia
Beth guides embodiment and integration through the body. Nadia guides pattern completion and clear inner architecture through lineage work and Human Design. Together, they create one coherent arc: depth, precision, and spaciousness, held inside an intimate, private container.
