Embodied Kinship
1-1 Mentoring Container
Your inner world is a landscape filled with hidden beauty. Embodiment is a doorway into that world.
Relationship is the key
Embodied Kinship is a body and nature based practice of relating.
An invitation to meet the parts of you, & the world, that are luminous and vast as well as the parts that are hard to love. To know that the doorway to the life you long for is through befriending and being in relationship with the barriers and protectors you meet along the way.
Embodied Kinship supports you to trust the multitudes of knowledge contained within & around you. What is revealed through sensation, emotion, breath, texture, dream or imagination. To attune to this conversation of life that is constantly happening.
Somatic and eco-centric mentoring.
This work supports you to come into contact with your embodied experience; sensation, feeling, energy. So you can build a deeper, relationship with your whole self.
Eco-centric because too many modalities forget our foundational relationship with the earth. The fracturedness we experience is a symptom of our disconnection. So to commune with the living world is to weave ourselves back into the web of living relationship.
This is not therapy or a quick fix or a coaching method to make you more productive. It is a practice that helps you remember your wholeness, reclaim what is fractured, unhook from the story of separation and return to your embodied relational experience as the ground of a soulful, connected life.
What you'll receive:
Working together over fortnightly sessions, you can expect to:
Grow an embodied relationship with sensation & feeling
Learn to befriend full spectrum of your experience
Deepen your capacity to stay in relationship through discomfort, grief or conflict
Reconnect with the natural world through direct encounter
Cultivate a practice of reciprocity with the more-than-human
Develop trust in the intelligence of your body & the land
Feel more resourced, grounded, and available to life
Alchemise your protective strategies into gold
Tend to and follow your deepest longing
You are a vessel for something vast.
There is a deep longing in you that won’t be quiet.
Like a gathering storm you feel it’s presence every day.
You know that following this longing won’t be easy
You know you need to say yes to this.
To the good kind of trouble
that soul is asking from you.
To truly say yes to yourself and this life.
What if you contain something that is needed in these times, that it is not what you do but who you innately are?
What will this ask of you?
This container is for meeting what is alive. To embrace the parts of yourself you’ve kept at arm’s length, trusting that there is something powerful awaiting you there.
It is not a place to try and fix, solve or even understand. It requires you to step across a threshold into the unknown.
It is not another approach to make you fit into the systems and structures that are harming people and the planet. This approach is eco-centric which means including the multitudes of life in ecosystems, bioregions & watersheds.
It is a remembering of your place in an interconnected web of relationships. To trust that the revelation of yourself is in service to that whole. It is a radical act to remember that wholeness in a time of rampant fracturedness.
It will ask you to slow down. To get out on the land. To connect with the more-than-human. The unseen. To meet your edges, your grief or joy. To welcome yours and the worlds beauty and brokenness. To remember you are loved and supported. To track yourself. To sense your shadows. To shift your consciousness. To court mystery.
If you're ready for that, this is for you.
Presence, curiosity, compassion and attunement.
I meet whatever is alive in you with generative curiosity, inviting you to deepen into that aliveness, or the experiences & encounters you’ve had. Turning towards the language of sensation as a way of knowing and noticing what happens in your body when you re-sensitise yourself to that.
This work is deeply informed by own experiences of the Wild Mind Map and the lineage of Bill Plotkin’s nature-based soul work with Animas Valley.
It is also influenced by my experience of somatics & embodiment including my training in Body Mind Centering through Holistic Studies of Human Anatomy at The School of Experiential Learning.
My Approach:
How we work together:
We will work with emergence, responding to what is arising through a variety of modalities included; mirroring, visualisation, meditation, embodiment & somatics, encounter with the land, dreamwork, movement, partswork, archetypes, threshold, descent, myth, poetry, self-designed ceremony & practices that shift consciousness.
A big component of this work is cultivating relationship with the place you live which requires some devotion to seeking outdoor spaces nearby that feel wild and less filled with humans.
Each session offers space to land and drop into your experience, bring what is alive, deepen into those experiences. It may include invitations to follow in-between sessions.
