A space where we can gather together and BE exactly as we are

A space where the full spectrum of your human experience is invited

Calm, anxious, open, closed,

ALL is welcome here.

It’s in this gentle embrace that everything can start to unravel. It’s in this open space that we can begin to unwind the strategies that no longer serve us. This is the space that early mis-attunement failed to foster, the space where love blooms and new life can emerge. This is the space where all that quivers and shakes can come to rest and where all that contorts can untwist into greater alignment.

Shame keeps us locked in destructive strategies while simultaneously disconnecting us from our deeper nature. It manifests as low self-esteem, self judgement, and feeling like an outsider. Indeed, this experience – that you’re deficient in some way – is the glue that holds unresolved trauma together.

Spiritual teachings acknowledge that the separate sense of self is rooted in this fundamental misperception. However, despite this understanding, you may have noticed how pervasive it is! Deconstructing shame is much more than changing a belief or expanding your perspective, because shame is much more than a belief or a perception. Indeed, it has woven its way into your very sense of self, from mind to body to heart. Therefore, only when you can meet it all levels of identity can you begin to loosen its tenacious grip.

During our time together, we’ll deconstruct shame through the lens of developmental trauma.

You’ll learn: 

• Why shame is the glue that holds unresolved trauma together  
• How to recognise when you’re caught in a shame spiral and how to step outside of it
• A guided process for befriending (and therefore disarming) your inner critic
• How to meet yourself with more patience and greater compassion

This will happen in the context of a deeply held relational space where you can safely explore this patterning  in real time.

Awakened Healing is a presence based, body oriented, and relationally centered approach to addressing unresolved trauma. Through gentle exploration and somatic awareness you can cultivate a new way of being with your most challenging patterns. No longer a victim of the push and pull of inner disturbance, you can step forward with greater confidence, knowing that whatever comes your way, you embody the resilience and the capacity to meet and integrate it. As you awaken and refine a more subtle way of Being and Being With, you can slowly but surely become the space – the container and the field – where healing takes place.

Are you tired of the endless oscillation between cosmic wonder and existential anxiety, between deep presence and painful disconnection, between meditative union and yelling at your loved one? Do you long for coherence? Do you long for a freedom that reaches into every corner of your life, into every relationship and every activity?

Likewise, have you been impacted by recent world events? Do you feel despair when you tune into collective issues or hopelessness about the way things are going? Do you want to stay informed but fear getting triggered? Do you long to contribute but don’t know how to proceed?

In this 3 day immersion we’ll begin by grounding into our Essential Nature, the place where all insight emerges, where all clarity dawns, and from where our deepest heart’s longing can be nurtured into form. Then, we’ll explore what’s standing in the way of who we truly are and what we know is possible – both personally and collectively. This requires an intricate understanding of the karmic patterning – the unresolved trauma – that filters our experience and distorts our behaviours. Finally, we’ll join in our shared presence to seed a new potential and infuse the field with our loving intent.
