This weekend is woven of physical activities including breathwork, movement and dancing alongside exploration exercises including visualisations and written exercises. There will also be a large amount of group interaction in partners,  small groups and the whole group. There is also an invitation for a bit of touch in specific practices but it is not a requirement. 

Wear loose comfortable clothing, layers and a change of clothes because you will be moving and probably sweat. This will be a physically dynamic weekend so come dressed like you are ready to dance.  

I have been blessed with too many teachers to mention here but the heart of this work was born from my long term mentor and dear friend Dorothea whom has mentored (and kicked my butt) for over 25 years. Her core teaching is about becoming an empty channel for your Essence (she calls it ‘the boss’) to flow through you. This is the core invitiation that is both where the work comes from and the invitation to you. To allow what is within to flow so freely that magic is born from within and pours into the world. 

I have been trained by trauma therapist Amanda Patterson from the Somatic Wisdom Institute and others but this is not a trauma informed container. I would call this a trauma aware space. This immersion is designed to be mentally, emotionally and physically challenging and I will be treating you as someone who can hold themselves and their boundaries fully. If you have trauma or issues that you are concerned could interfere with this ‘self responsible’ participation then I recommend reaching out to us or finding a space designed specially to serve that need. I deeply believe trauma informed spaces are vital, yet this initiation is designed to welcome the wildness of life which means the sensitive, attuned space you may need will not be here. We are consciously moving into painful and uncomfortable places because that's where we find the wild gold. 

This is definitely a demanding space and so awareness of your limitations is vital. We are open to supporting any needs you may have to make the space welcome for you. In terms of activity we will be doing breathwork, movement, dance, group exercises and engaging in rigorous self exploration. Confer with your medical professional if you are unsure if this will be suitable for you and/or reach out to us with any questions. 

Definitely best to make all sessions over the weekend so it is unlikely it will work to miss any part of the whole weekend because it is a deliberately designed sequential  journey, not just individual sessions. Yet if it is for a short amount of time at a time that works then we may consider it. Please email us with the exact times and reason and we can let you know if it can work. 

I am committed to provide a welcoming space for you however you identify. I am not specifically trained in meeting the needs of the LGBTQ+ community yet know that I welcome your uniqueness fully.
