Sometimes there are parts within us that battle.
One part wants to succeed, but another part wants to hide.
One part wants to connect with others, but another part wants to be alone.
One part wants to be free, but another part isn’t sure it’s safe.
One part wants a partner, but another part believes we’re not good enough or intimacy is scary.
These inner conflicts can feel a bit like having one foot on the accelerator and the other the brake at the same time. You go nowhere. In life, this can show up as stagnation, tension and frustration. No progress, no change, despite willing it.
There are no ‘bad parts’ inside you — they’re simply aspects that have information for you. The key is to learn to listen! And sometimes we also need the permission and tools to safely release some of this tension these parts might be holding.
In this mindful-somatic workshop, we’ll explore ways to come into inner harmony with all our parts and find *power* within ourselves.
This work is based on somatic alchemy, somatic emotional processing, Internal Family Systems and parts work.
WHAT YOU’LL GET:
Release baggage and issues you've been holding onto
Find more energy and clarity (less hesitation!) with decisions and momentum in your life
Discover how to be in collaboration with the voices/needs within, not in a battle
Understand your nervous system and how to come back to ease rather than in perpetual survival mode (fight, flight, freeze, fawn)
Learn tools to support a state of power, self-nurturing and emotional wellness day-to-day
Let go of the war and judgment inside yourself
Learn and practice tools to digest emotion in ways that *supports* the nervous system, not frazzles you
Lead from your Soul, not your hidden subsconscious
There will be individual and partnered practices that could involve simple nourishing touch. You’re supported to do only what you want to do with full consent. It's not necessary to have or bring a partner for any of these workshops. Feel free to contact us if you have questions or hesitations.
