DO YOU PLEASE TO APPEASE?

​

As the days grow lighter, longer, and warmer, it's a time for acknowledging growth, celebrating re-emergence, and welcoming the new with the wisdom of past experiences. The Winter Solstice symbolises both an ending and a beginning—a powerful time for contemplating your immortality, forgiving and being forgiven, and making a fresh start. I

 

It is a TIME TO EMBODY OUR BOUNDARIES.

​

Do you find it challenging to maintain clear distinctions between your own needs, preferences, and personal space, and those of others?

​

Does this leave you feeling confused, overwhelmed, or like you're losing yourself in your relationships?

​

Do you often self-abandon for others, forgetting your true authentic self?

​

Have you learned to please others to appease them?

​

Would you like to understand how your nervous system’s flight, fight, freeze, and conditioned behavioural fawn (people-pleasing) responses show up?

​

Boundaries are limits you set around what behaviour you will and won't tolerate in yourself and others. They help you advocate for what you need, making you feel safer and more comfortable. It’s essential to be clear, firm, and kind when communicating your boundaries.

​

By connecting and listening to your inner wisdom, you can clarify what boundaries are needed and how to live them. Being embodied means knowing your body's signals and recognizing them physically. It’s one thing to know your boundaries mentally; it’s entirely different to feel them in your body. Boundaries aren’t just about saying no (though that’s certainly a part of it); they’re also about honoring what’s a clear hell yes for you. The more you learn to sense and locate a yes in your body, the more your life takes on joy, freedom, and aliveness.

​

What to Expect

We will journey into a day of experiential embodiment.:

Explore Your Emotional Landscape: Often, we have an idea of what our boundaries should look like, but we lose ourselves when it’s time to set them or make decisions. Using experiential practices, we will embody our sense of “yes” and “no.”

Somatic Practices: Learn about the nervous system’s “fawn” response and recognize your true "yes" and "no." We will use practical somatic movement methods to set and maintain boundaries, emphasising being gentle with ourselves when we slip, as boundary-setting is a continuous practice.

Understanding Boundaries: Learn the seven types of boundaries, enabling you to respect your personal limits and communicate them clearly to others.

Self-Care Resources: Prioritising others' needs over our own can lead to burnout and exhaustion, while neglecting our own needs results in a loss of identity and disconnection. We’ll provide resources to help you practice deeper self-care.

Healthy Relationships: When we embody our boundaries, we create healthier relationships with those around us. Self-regulation leads to co-regulation.

Self-Connection: Through embodied practices, we gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and access the invaluable wisdom within our bodies.

Reducing Stress and Burnout: Engaging in embodied boundary practices helps us prioritise our well-being, reducing stress and overwhelm in our lives.

Learning to Self-forgive. Without Self Forgiveness we can be stuck in what may be an inescapable maze. Recent study into forgiveness has found that forgiving yourself can be far harder than extending or even seeking forgiveness from others. .

 

From releasing limiting self-perceptions, hidden beliefs and sabotaging mechanisms, we will recreate who we are. Open up to be more loving, intimate and joyful with ourselves and others by using powerful tools to reprogram the subconscious mind, remove self-sabotaging programs, and fortify our integrity, self-esteem and self-love.. We will move from not just surviving but THRIVING.

​

Using breath work, somatic release work, poly vagal theory, kriyas, mantra and movement we will embody ritual to transform our deeply held limiting beliefs and  frustration into passion and fuel for change, wisdom, and deep compassion for healing. Coming together in ceremony is truly transformational, leaving us feeling reborn and motivated to continue the journey along our own unique path.

​
We will be embarking on a journey filled with breath, song, ceremony and sound to remember where we came from and why we are here today.
