BodySoul Workshops
BodySoul is a form of embodied practice that offers an opportunity for deep transformation and healing through movement, meditation and other creative and embodied processes.
​
BodySoul workshops are aimed at psychotherapists, counsellors and psychologists who have done at least one of our IEP training weekends, workshops or experiential groups in the past and would like to go deeper with their own embodiment.
​
This practice is called BodySoul because it is resourcing for both the body and soul. When we connect deeply with our bodies we often begin to connect to something greater than our physical self: our Soul. In this process we will be guiding you firstly to connect to your physical body (sensations), then to your emotional body (feelings), and finally to your soul-body (energy).
​
Each BodySoul workshop will explore a different theme.

Theme for Workshops in 2024: Healing Ancestral Trauma and Legacy Burdens
London: 13th - 14th April 2024, Stroud: 20 -21 July 2024
​
In this two day experiential workshop we will be working on transforming the ancestral trauma. We will be exploring our ancestral line and how legacy burdens still impact us in our present life.
​
Ancestral trauma refers to the emotional pain, somatic imprints and limiting beliefs that get handed down through the generations and is transferred to us. We carry these legacy burdens in our bodies, the unconscious and energetically. We will explore what is needed for breaking this pattern and healing.
​
We will also explore the 'gifts' that we received from our ancestral line, which often become obstructed by the trauma/wounding... gifts that we might not fully see or appreciate (because of the legacy burdens that come in the way).
​
We will be exploring all of this through embodied work, visualisation, movement, ritual making, creative arts, guided meditations, group processing and self-enquiry/journaling.

Theme for Workshops in 2025: Resourcing Through Nature, Sound and Touch
Stroud: 7-8 June 2025
​​
In this outdoor experiential workshop we will be exploring how to resource ourselves in nature and how to use sound, voice and touch as a resource in our lives as well as in our psychotherapy practice.
We will be exploring what healing beyond trauma really means - and how to start moving from 'survival mode', into truly thriving in our lives. We will explore what it is to be fully awake to our innate wisdom and life force.
​​
We will be connecting to resourceful states through the body and self-touch in order to recharge, renew and offer space for self-support.
We will be moving in and with nature - and connecting to our instinctual 'animal' bodies. We will also be working with the voice and sound for resourcing our body and soul.​
​
This workshops is aimed at therapists who have done some of our training weekends or workshops in the past and would like to go deeper with their own embodiment.
We will be working outdoors in the fields close to Stroud and inside a yurt for working with the sound/voice.
