:::   radical [ self care ] sundays :::

tend to you, pause, breathe, connect
present, in the moment

a day out of time

a days immersion in nature, embodiment, radical embodied breathwork and you

radical [ self care ] sundays

Time and attention are the new currency of our world.

Where you are putting yours, is the world you are creating.

It is beyond time that we grabbed our own lives by the balls

and made conscious choices
enabling ourselves
supporting each other
in creating a world we actually want to live in

radical [self care] sundays

a day out of time, lingering in what is
embodied movement, gentle connected (rebirthing) breathwork,
nature & human connection, 
soul food. nourishment, tending to you.

what to expect

time to connect, breathe and be - these are spacious days

not-exactly-yoga - time to be with your body and unravel the tensions of the world from your tissues

radical embodied breathwork - time to really par it back and be with your breath, letting it do the work of deep unfolding for you

let life flow and express as you, through you

no need to work it out. nothing to understand. no new skills to acquire

you. your body. your breath. time to connect.

all this in the company of like minded humans, with a long shared lunch and time to connect, share, and be together

time devoted to You,
connecting with your own inner world,
down-regulating and toning your nervous system

so you re-enter your world more centred, more resilient, more open

freeing in body and breath

open in mind, and surrendering into possibility

our world has us worshipping and falling over at the feet of busy

dragging us from pillar to post

from catching up on things to racing to the next goal/appointment/necessary thing
and there is always another necessary thing...

These day sessions are an offering of something different, an experience of an alternative way of being.

It is offered as a remedy to culture and lifestyles that ignore our real deep human needs, creating increasing stress, ill health and disconnection from self and others.

because, while somewhere in the world

there is softness and beauty

the sun glistening on a dew drop,

a bird feeding its young

the ocean, receiving the rivers as they joyfully tumble
into each others arms

there is also pain and suffering

war, grief, loss, political scuffling, unwelcome control, imposition, taking, illness, disasters

and all of this - pleasure and pain

in us as well as the world.

we weren’t taught or ’trained’ to hold all this, to receive the onslaught of messaging and information and yet it is possible for us to find our capacity

to hold without crumbling,
to feel without burnout and overwhelm
to be present, without having to disconnect

and able to pull back when we need to

able to stay centred in ourselves and even anchor more deeply

when the world demands and pulls so hard in every-other-direction

when the crazy gets too much.

this is what radical [ self care ] sundays are for

not a giant bubble bath or chocolate bonanza

not a ‘fix-it’ or ‘how-to’ workshop

this is time to pause. to surrender to what Is.

time to be present for yourself, to the many elements of your life.

to allow your system to offload, down regulate and from there

you can explore, get curious, playful even, even while hard things happen.

what has been hidden from us, is our own soft strength

our beingness, our incredible human capacity,

it is so much more than we have ever been taught, experienced or even imagined

and as we push to the next thing or pull away from the undesirable
- as we have been conditioned to do

we miss things. we miss parts of ourselves. we miss some of the worlds beauty as we turn from the pain. when we hold out against someone or something, we hold out from a part of ourselves and cut off from the nourishment, the love, even our own capacity to grieve and ache which is part of this wonderous adventure we call life.

if we are cutting off, cutting out and dashing past

in our rush, in our avoiding we miss our own capacity

to hold, to expand, to allow, to be with what is.
We bypass our own soul.

There is another way. The way of opening, deepening, surrendering to what is, even if just for a moment. with no end goal required.

This invites us to be beyond time - as Rumi put it so eloquently:

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
There is a field. I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
The world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase each other
Doesn't make any sense.

There is nothing to wait for, it all lies at your feet, in your breath

ready, and right there when you meet it

it is most simply time that you gift to yourself

space that you allow yourself to occupy

it can begin with a small step, a breath, the only thing is to begin

and this is why we offer you radical [self care] sundays

time out that is time within

time to tend

to the soft, the tender, the raw and the strong part of you.

time out to
tend to ourselves
softly and in good company, with like minded souls

were we can open our inner doors and gently peek in
one glimmer at a time
adjusting to the light

building strength
cultivating connection
…….

that allows us to gently build
real regulation
easy natural rhythms of breath and being
and our capacity to hold space, for ouselves and others

so we can be, and bring new ways into the world

for our children, our loved ones, our families, into our workplaces and into the world.

its not about preaching or even teaching - its all about frequency, and as we expand ours, others will resonate with the new bandwidth. You change, your experience shifts, and the world shifts with us.

On the 

26th of October
our paddocks will be open

the rocks freshly wind swept
inviting you into
a day of deep opportunity to be with You,
wonderful You
opening
to meet life and self gently, deeply

- even if your relationship with You is a bit or very complicated right now!
that simply means you need this time to immerse in you even more, and lets be honest, who isn't in a complicated relationship with themselves and the world right now?

IMPORTANT SESSION INFORMATION

BRING:  water, snacks/food if you have special dietary requirements
- 2 blankets, your own yoga mat if you have one, a small pillow and some extra layers (socks) in the cooler months, water, pen and notebook + reading glasses if you need them!
Yoga mats - if you have a thicker mat and would like to use that for extra comfort, be my guest!
I have a limited amount of yoga mats, blankets & cushions available if you don’t have your own -let me know if you need to use ours so we can make sure everyone is supported).

WEAR: loose comfortable clothing that is suitable for simple movement as well as non-restrictive for breathing and movement sections. During your ‘breathe’ you will want to remove watches, jewellery, belts etc, and leave your phone and other ‘smart’ devices turned off and in the car - or even better, at home if you can!

FOOD/DRINK: Avoid stimulants on the day of the session (e.g preferably no coffee, especially if it is a morning session). It is also recommended not to eat a heavy meal in the 2 hours prior to your session.
Rest assured this not because of religious beliefs or similar - this is simply about supporting yourself to have the best experience possible.
We will be working with the experiences of being and feeling in your body, stimulants or excessively heavy meals can make it more difficult to really get in touch with what is going on in your body and mind.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Address details will be provided on booking.

other information

including a healthy and yummy shared lunch.

You will receive tools and practices to support you after the workshop and further your integration, and we will have time to connect and discuss in the group setting - you choose how much you participate at that level, firstly you are here for you. Then, as we feel safe we open to the group, and collective - for as with all healing work, the impacts go beyond just You.

How often do you run these sessions??  We offer group sessions on a regular basis, and you can combine these with private sessions for a truely deep journey.

Radical Embodied Breathwork

Let’s skip the fluff & new age waffle, even the bravado, bio-hacking and hustle - it’s time for real grounded breathing that will get you gently into your body, along with self acceptance that heals.

Get ready to reset your breath so you can unravel old stories, release old ties and start to really live beyond your ‘triggers’.

This is living with an open heart.
Connected. Conscious. Awake and here in this world in your body as you.

The practice of Radical Embodied Breathwork is not for escaping or reaching some lofty state of enlightenment (which is more about escape than anything else)- this is about living your real life with depth, connection and deep joy.

This is a process of grounding you in your body, and supporting yourself to live your gentle powerful potential, honestly, as you.

* heal trauma and behavioural patterns that hold you back
* resolve and recover from upheaval and stress in al areas of your life
* clear your cellular memory for deep healing
* connect to your intuition, embodying a sense of inner knowing and self-trust
* awaken to your innate self healing capacities
:: liberate yourself, reconnect to your personal power & step into self leadership ::

Working with me, you can rest assured that you are in good hands. Integrity is of the utmost importance to me, and this work, time you spend with me is for you - about you, to support you, beginning by listening to you.

A Certified Rebirthing Breathwork Practitioner and Trainer, I also bring over 20 years of experience teaching & studying yoga & meditation to each session, along with over 30 years of self discovery and personal growth work.
More recently, along with my partner Natalie Fitzpatrick we have evolved or perhaps birthed Radical Embodied Breathwork, bringing rebirthing into the particular needs of the current times.

I love sharing my learning and explorations with you in a safe, inclusive, fun way.

The space I hold is gentle and strong, deeply intuitive, sensitive, with a touch of something extra - and all that while we keep it incredibly practical - because if it doesn't help you to live in the world better, I am not doing my job... simple.

We are here, it is the only place we can be, and my aim is to make the most of it in body, mind and spirit: grounded, expanded, radiant and awake.
