Embodied Kinship

1-1 Mentoring Container

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 to follow this longing won’t be easy

And 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.

Embodied Kinship is a body and nature based practice of relating.

It offers a doorway back into the mystery of yourself, through sensation, connection with the natural world and the parts of you that feel hard to love.

It is a process which helps you trust the multitudes of knowing contained within your sensation, feeling, breathe, dreams and imagination.

This is an invitation to cross a threshold towards your longing and meet the places in you that hold grief, fear, longing, and aliveness because they are the portal towards that which your heart desires.

Embodied Kinship is a somatic and eco-centric mentoring practice. It supports you to come into contact with your embodied experience; sensation, feeling, energy. So you can build a deeper, relationship with your whole self.

This is not therapy or a quick fix. It is not a coaching method to make you more productive. It's a healing and wholing practice that helps you unhook from the myth of separation and return to your embodied experience and relationship as the ground of a soulful, connected life.

What this will ask of you

This work will ask you to give up the safety of the familiar. To meet parts of yourself you've kept at arm's length to befriend them and bring them home.

It will ask you to slow down. To orient by sensation and connection. To trust the wisdom of your own body and the land over the noise of the culture that trained you away from it.

If you're ready for that, this is for you.

What are you truly longing for?

Connection, friends, love, to feel comfortable in your skin, to belong, a home, a partner, creativity, meaning, purpose.

Whatever you are longing for there is a place for it here.

Yet your longing needs you to remember your wholeness. To befriend the feelings of unworthiness or loneliness you carry, the strategies that keep you safe and shielded against life.

To meet the places that feel hard to love and develop your capacity to hold them with compassion.

I’ve worked with hundreds of people on the frontiers of personal and planetary healing.

I’ve heard the talks, books & podcasts, been to the summit and workshops. I’ve heard how people so urgently want other humans to protect the earth yet they don’t have a tangible relationship with the more-than-human world.

I’ve seen a deep longing in people for profound connection with others, yet their inability to connect to the deeper parts of themselves.

What I’ve witnessed again and again is that the thing that you believe is the barrier to your longing is actually the doorway.

What you'll receive

Working together over fortnightly sessions, you can expect to:

  • Grow an embodied relationship with sensations & feelings

  • Learn to befriend your experience

  • Deepen your capacity to stay in relationship through discomfort, grief, and conflict

  • Reconnect with the natural world through direct encounters with the land and nature where you live.

  • Develop trust in your body's intelligence

  • Feel more resourced, grounded, and available to life

  • Tend to your longing

How We Work Together

Mentoring unfolds over an agreed period of time (typically 4–12 weeks) and includes:

  • 1:1 mentoring sessions

  • Nature-based solo invitations

  • Walks or wanders in relationship with place

  • Ongoing WhatsApp support

  • A self-designed threshold ceremony, supported by me

Together, we listen for what is emerging and allow the ceremony to take shape organically. Whether witnessed privately or shared with loved ones, the ceremony creates a clear moment of marking, honouring what is ending and welcoming what is beginning.

Our process together might look something like the following: 

  • First Call: Landing together. 

  • Day walk / Wander

  • Second Call: The story of your wander

  • Solo invitations

  • Third Call: Putting it all together for the ceremony 

  • Solo invitations & organising threshold ceremony 

  • Threshold Ceremony 

  • Fourth Call: Integration  

My Approach

The pillars of my mentoring include:

  • Nature connection

  • Self-designed ceremony & ritual

  • Embodiment and somatics

  • Parts work and integration

  • Practices that gently shift consciousness

This work is informed by the Wild Mind Map and the lineage of Bill Plotkin’s nature-based soul work, alongside influences including emergent strategy, grief tending, somatics, and nervous-system awareness.

Testimonials

  • Billie

    “Being mentored by Alana has always given me permission to be with all the parts of myself. Each time I drop into this incredibly safe space with her, I’m able to connect with the dreams and experiences I’ve been wanting to unravel. It’s felt so supportive to have someone reflect these experiences back to me; because of this, I’ve felt closer and closer to my innate connection with nature and my wildness.”

  • Reena

    “Working with Alana has been a really supportive and grounding experience. She has helped me to slow down and notice more, guiding me into a deeper connection with nature and reminding me that I am not separate from, but just as much a part of the non-human world as I am the human world. Her approach creates a safe and encouraging space where I feel able to reconnect with myself through the natural world. I value the way she encourages reflection, presence, and curiosity. Simple practices that we neglect often but are now returning to my daily life”
