Seasonal 1-Day Embodiment Retreats in the Rainforest
Because you're ready to rest. Collectively, life is speeding up. Exhaustion is a common thread. Connection on screens trumps real life warmth, joy, community and present moment attunement. Individually, it's time to slow down and tend to the quiet voice inside that is calling you home.
My seasonal one-day Embodiment Retreats in the Rainforest are an invitation to deepen the relationship between the earth, your mind and your body. This is your invitation to gather together with a small group of womxn seasonally, in circle in our rainforest studio and surrounds, creating a safe container to come home inside your body. Each one-day mini retreat will focus on a seasonal theme and will include journaling, gentle movement, symbolic and eco-somatic practices to gently guide you back into earth, mind, body unity.
There'll be reserved places for mob at reduced cost, or scholarship. Just reach out for a yarn.

Somatic Sovereignty Series
Earth, Mind, Body Unity
FOLLOW YOUR IMPULSE: Find Your Flow
Friday, 2nd July, 2027
10.00am - 5.00pm
Our impulses are the body's innate intelligence guiding us toward protection, connection, completion and vitality. Yet many of us have learned to override or suppress these natural responses in order to survive. In this experiential workshop, you'll explore how to recognise, trust and safely follow your authentic impulses through somatic practice, helping to restore resilience, spontaneity and a deeper sense of aliveness.
THE TOUCH WE LONG FOR: Nourishing the Protectors Inside
Friday, 9th July, 2027
10.00am - 5.00pm
Touch is one of our earliest languages of safety, connection and belonging. When nurturing touch has been absent, inconsistent or unsafe, its effects can echo throughout our lives. Drawing on NeuroAffective Touch® principles and trauma-informed somatic practice, this workshop explores how therapeutic touch can gently support repair, helping to restore a felt sense of safety, nourishment and connection within ourselves and in relationship with others.
MARK YOUR TERRITORY: Sacred Boundaries
Friday, 23rd July 2027
10.00am - 5.00pm
Our boundaries are the body’s innate way of sensing what is welcome, what is not, and where we end and another begins. Yet many of us have learned to override these signals in order to belong, stay safe, avoid conflict or care for others. In this experiential workshop, you’ll explore how to recognise, communicate and embody your authentic boundaries through somatic practice, helping you reclaim your space, strengthen your sense of self and experience a deeper sense of safety, agency and sovereignty.
FROM FAWNING TO FEROCITY: Finding Your Internal Predator
Friday, 13 August, 2027
10.00am - 5.00pm
Fawning is the body’s intelligent attempt to stay safe through appeasing, accommodating and attuning to others, often at the expense of our own needs, instincts and truth. Yet beneath these well-practised patterns lives a protective force capable of discernment, anger, assertion and fierce self-preservation. In this experiential workshop, you’ll explore how to reconnect with your healthy internal predator through somatic practice, transforming habitual appeasement into greater agency, potency and the embodied capacity to protect what matters.
