Do You Long to Rest Deeply in Yourself
and Your Relationships?

Experience the significance of feeling life in the present moment as you journey to deepen your embodiment and enhance your Self-awareness.

In a safe and nurturing environment, you’ll dive into The Art of Rest and its transformative impact on your inner life and relationships.

Immersing yourself in restorative practices, somatic meditations, and the group’s shared wisdom, you’ll learn how to use these tools to cultivate a peaceful, embodied existence.

Discover what disrupts your inner harmony and ability to be with yourself, and learn to embrace these challenges with love and compassion.

Explore the generational influences that have shaped you and your relationships. Gain insight into these psycho-emotional imprints from conception through to early childhood.

As self-regulation is fundamental for an embodied life, you’ll explore prioritizing moments of pleasure and inner safety to help transform unhealthy coping mechanisms. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have valuable tools to nurture inner peace and resilience, empowering you to rest within yourself, even amid life’s challenges.
