[or: how to lighten up and live from your inner freedom]
WHAT IS THIS?
a day of Radical Embodied Breathwork (our grounding breathwork for real people),
inner exploration and contemplative processing,
time for deep connection and self healing,
held in nature, a place for you to be you, perhaps for the first time
UNburden, Sunday 16 August.
We all carry weight. Weight that we don’t want to carry. Weight that holds us back. Weight that often isn’t even ours.
Unseen, unbearable, even unknown and yet still showing up in the strain aroudn our mouth, the lines on our faces and the heaviness in our bones.
In this breathe + connect gathering we will offload and unburden, these are the times in which to move forward in our freedom.
So then these are the times in which to put down the weight, the expectations, the old, the past, including ancestral legacies that are no longer supporting us
We will then use this time to dive into our own family patterns and sibling dynamics, exploring the impact they have on us even as adults, so we can move on, and into our stillness.
Gathering as a group to do this work we amplify the impacts.
Gathering on the Winter Solstice, we harness natures energy to drop even deeper and leave behind what our childhood has left us carrying.
Even if our childhood was blissful, we can carry these patterns of inter-relationships, even though they no longer serve us.
… tussling with workmates the way we fought with our siblings.
… joking around in ways that are more hurtful than funny, but hey, that’s the way we are. …
… left out of our friend groups the way our families left us out,
… chasing friendships for the sibling connections that were never quite resolved.
In trying to complete our relational repair, we so often end up recreating the known patterns of our childhood. It’s what we know how to do. It is what we learnt through our family dynamics and sibling connections. Known, they are deemed safe by the nervous system, hence they are our default, even if they are painful and everything but ‘safe’ in reality.
The more challenged we are, the more likely we are to fall back into them, even when we know better.
If we haven’t done the deeper work of cleaning up our subconscious and repairing the tears in our relationship programmes we just find ourselves in that same relationship pain, again.
It’s not difficult.
It does take a certain kind of courage, and this is a courage we can all choose to surrender into.
We will use the simplicity of Radical Embodied Breathwork to take ourselves there.
THE OUTCOME
This Solstice session will leave you relaxed and renewed in depth and stillness.
Expect to leave this session feeling:
more alive and in tune with yourself, with a deeper sense of ease and connection to the world around you
empowered with knowledge of how your childhood family patterns and sibling dynamics impact your current life, no matter what life phase you are in
a sense of having offloaded years of family/sibling baggage without having to spend a lifetime talking about it, fighting it out, or working through it by using our signature breathwork technique to initiate your own self healing
When: 10am-2pm, Sunday 21 June (9.30am check + settle in)

Gympie region (2hrs from Bris, 1 hr from Noosa)

This session is by donation/ pay-what-you-feel which is a mix of what you can afford, what this work means to you, and how you value what we offer - go with your heart feeling!
Have more time to relax? we have more to offer :)
Add on’s:

Are you ready to learn how to milk? Be nibbled on by baby goats?
In these times, we believe the most important thing that we can be doing (or better said being) is tending what it means to be truely human, the kind of human that knows they are of nature.
This means tending to our own selves, the stories and patterns that we carry, and cleaning up our inner world to support the massive shifts that are happening on all the layers of our outer world.
Nature is shifting - our earth is rebirthing herself and reclaiming her place in the natural order of things. It is not a walk in the park.
Our societies are crumbling, the world we live in now is not the world we were born into - and we alive on this planet now are the ones making the real decisions about how these shifts happen - even if our politicians and the so-called 1% have their own ideas.
I’m not talking about some mystical ‘ascension’ or psychic prediction - those are often little more than distractions and sparkly ways to avoid the harsh realities of the times we are living through.
We are at the pointy end of the stick on this planet, and you absolutely do count.
This is the moment.
This is your moment.
This winter solstice, we invite you to gather, to seize this moment together.
Will you join us?

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
How long are group sessions?? This group session is approximately 6 hours of immersion, practice, connection, contemplation and relaxation.
including a healthy and yummy shared lunch that we all contribute to.
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.
~ a day out of time ~
build foundations for the life and growth that you desire
immersion in nature, presence + embodiment, radical embodied breathwork, connection and most importantly, (re)connection to you
radical sundays
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.
