What Will We Do?
We’ll descend gradually below the surface and bring our attention and kind curiosity to our own emotional landscape. In the process you’ll discover how to deal with, manage and make friends with emotions in a safe, gentle, healthy way.
Together we’ll shine a light on all of the hidden places that keep us away from meeting, unravelling and finding the peace, acceptance and resolution that is so wanted.
The course content comes from a range of therapeutic methods and models including Mindfulness, Non-Duality, Self-Enquiry and Parts Work as well as from my own lived experience and understanding gained through supporting clients for the last ten years.
The approach is not about fixing, annihilating or transcending but becoming aware of what we are unaware of and then welcoming in what we find including the various parts and aspects of ourselves.
The course principles can be applied to anything that challenges us, whether that is physical pain, intrusive thoughts or life situations.
If you are a counsellor, therapist or healer you’ll discover some new techniques and ways to assist your clients.
Special focus will be given to the familiar, long held, core, emotional responses, patterns, behaviours and roles that we play; those that are conditioned and automatic affecting our relationship with ourselves, others and life itself.
What’s Included?
- In each session there will be a talk and space to question, share and explore both as a group and individually.
- The course comes with an accompanying 32 page digital workbook with observations, reflections and exercises to be completed between the sessions.
- To get the most benefit from the course live attendance is suggested however if you miss a session you can catch up via the recorded videos.
- I have limited the number of participants to twelve to allow for individual attention.

Week 5
An Exploration Of Opposites
We live in a dualistic world but what happens when we loosen our fixed hold on just one side of the story and welcome both sides in? Both good and bad, right and wrong, sadness and happiness? The entire range and vast spectrum of life?
Week 6
Pulling It All Together
A week to recap, discuss and explore how all of this comes to life.
If you would like to get a taste for the course an introductory workshop is available.
