Where you'll find workshops, retreats, learning journeys and hosted gatherings that are open to individuals
Hosted Gatherings
Throughout the year I host workshops, retreats, nature experiences and learning journeys that are open to individuals. Each gathering is unique, but they all share a commitment to curiosity, relationship and embodied exploration.
You might find yourself:
-
exploring a meaningful question with others
-
spending time in nature
-
learning a new skill or perspective
-
travelling together on a shared journey
-
discovering something unexpected about yourself and the world around you
Every gathering brings together a unique combination of people.
You may meet:
-
guest facilitators who bring their own wisdom, culture and professional expertise
-
people from different walks of life, each with their own questions, experiences and perspectives
-
a community that learns together rather than from one expert alone
-
the landscape itself, where nature becomes part of the conversation
No one person holds all the wisdom. Every gathering is shaped by the people, the place and what emerges between us.
Events include:

Closing circle
‘I believe that by hiding death and dying behind closed doors we do more harm than good to our society. I will offer participants the experience of connecting with their mortality and the inevitability of their death. It is possible to transform negative associations like dread and fear into accepting the reality that one day we will die and therefore releasing ourselves to live more fully... until the time comes’.

Online Hakomi Workshops
The Wisdom of the Body series: a Hakomi Approach to Healing Trauma
If not attended, unprocessed trauma can affect our state of mind and body experiences chronically. It affects the perception of ourselves and our capacities, the perception of the world and what we can expect from life.
This brings us to the importance of understanding how trauma affects us and learning how to support its healing.
We are offering a series of training sessions where we are crafting this path. We are offering an opportunity to walk the whole path or a section of the path.
At the ground of each of our trainings you will find:
-
How trauma works and its effects in our shared human experience.
-
An experiential methodology for healing trauma that draws upon the uniqueness of Hakomi attunement and self discovery
-
Practices to cultivate a stable and safe place to hold the healing process.
-
Practices to harness inner wisdom, resources and strength.
-
The importance of including global majority wisdom in the professional worldview.
In person Hakomi Weekends in Lancaster UK
Our Hakomi trainings are made up of experiential practices, working as a whole group, in small groups and individually, with spacious breaks. Spaciousness is a key word; there is lots of time to settle and become immersed in this simple and at the same time, profound approach of body-oriented psychotherapy.
You do not need any prior knowledge or experience of Hakomi and it is open to anyone willing to explore a mindful approach to self-understanding. After undertaking 45 days training you may chose to work towards Hakomi certification.
