London – Saturday 31st January 2026
We are pleased to share details of a BDD Recovery Journey Day, taking place on Saturday 31st January 2026 in London. Please note, this is run independently of the BDD Foundation, but we are sharing on behalf of the organiser.
This is a gentle, peer-led retreat day designed to offer a calm, welcoming and supportive space where people living with BDD can come together, connect, and share their unique experiences. The day is rooted in compassion, choice and community.
The Offer
Throughout the day, you will explore a range of recovery-focused approaches through:
- Group exercises
- Guided reflections
- Sharing circles
The intention is to create:
- A sense of belonging and understanding
- Self-compassion
- Meaningful steps towards healing and hope
Participants are always encouraged to move at their own pace and engage only in ways that feel right for them.
Special Guest: Anna Warhurst
We are honoured to welcome Anna Warhurst as an inspirational speaker for the day.
Anna has lived experience of BDD and is now training to become an Integrative Psychotherapist. She will be sharing reflections from her own recovery journey and will take part in a Q&A session. It feels particularly poignant to have Anna join us, as she attended the very first two retreat days many years ago. Witnessing her journey since then has been deeply inspiring. Anna will also guide an intention-setting ceremony for the New Year.
Location
The retreat will take place in a cosy cabin surrounded by nature, set within the beautiful surroundings of Highgate Woods, London – a peaceful and grounding environment for reflection and connection.
📍42 Muswell Hill Road, Highgate, N10 3JL. 5 minute walk from Highgate station
