The Sacred Place

A sensory exploration of a Sacred Place in nature that belongs entirely, uniquely and essentially to you.

About Me

The epiphany that ‘the answers to my questions are within me’ came to me in the midst of a burn out I experienced while labouring for social justice and empowerment amidst indigenous women in Central India. Amidst the intensities of the conflicts with-in & with-out, I began to listen to the whispers of my womb, the movements of my body and the songs of my heart to realize that the exemplar of my agency nestled deep within my body.

Consequently, I delved deeper into methods that began to support my journey back ‘home’- which included Theatre, Womb Medicine & Trauma Healing work.

The Sacred Place

Informed by Lisa Schwarz’s, The Comprehensive Resource Model, in this session, I will take you through a sensory exploration of a Sacred Place in nature that belongs entirely, uniquely and essentially to you. Whilst we learn some potent yet heart-warming breathing exercises, the Sacred Place is a resource that you can take back with you to anchor yourself in your sweet inner sacredness during moments of chaos in this sometimes challenging world.

The core intent behind this session is to create some space & introduce you to a way of reconnecting with some of the purest & healthiest parts of yourself. The Sacred Place could become your anchor, or your island of solitude to retreat to or grow from. This session will lean into an art activity that will help us discover, express & share our islands of solitude, our Sacred Place, in a collective.
