The Embodiment Journey
Uplifting the Space
Realise your capacity. Deepen in wisdom.
Respond and contribute to the world you love
"Our job is not to save the world, but to sense the world more fully,
and to keep on making it worth living in."
Uplifting the Space
Releasing October 6th 2023
In this segment we begin to open more fully into the space around us. We will explore the larger dimensions of “body” that go beyond our personal experience to include all of life. As our embodiment deepens and widens, we can allow the spontaneous movements of life to flow through us.
Living from our deep aspiration, there is a sense of willingness to receive inspiration and to follow it. We know that what we contribute to the field matters, and we take responsibility for our presence. We deepen into wisdom - the capacity for more of the world to arise in us - and the compassion that naturally arises in response.
Building on our established foundations of embodiment, we will be developing our capacities with a deepening appreciation of the subtle body, our skills of embodied listening, and our growing ability to transmute difficulty into creative possibility.

By listening to the body on all levels, we will give space to developing our sense of purpose, our authentic voice, our unique contribution in the world. We realise our capacity to uplift the space, to enhance the collective environment, for the benefit of all.

Uplifting the Space Modules
Module 1 -
Coming Closer In
In this module we will spiral back to our very foundations, from a fresh perspective. Coming closer in, we can appreciate how far we've come, and acknowledge the wholesome qualities and strengths we now bring to our lives and experience. Unendingly supported by the Earth, refreshed by all our senses and open to the inspiration that flows, we relax and settle deeper into our own being and our place in this world. From here we can engage in our lives with clarity, vibrancy, and creativity.
This module includes a bonus embodiment practice and interview with Brandon Schwinn
Module 2 -
Practice and Artistry
In this module we will explore the unique and essential relationship between practice and artistry. Whether we consider ourselves "artists" or not, we can appreciate that life itself is creative, and that we have the opportunity to live our lives as an ongoing creative endeavour. It's not so much about what we produce, but the quality we bring to everything we do. From the dishes we wash, to the clothes we wear, to our intimate relationships, to our work in the world, we learn to integrate our inner and outer landscapes to bring pleasure, enjoyment, and our deepest intention to all the spaces we move in each day.
This module includes a bonus interview with Jess Huon
Module 3 -
Embodied Listening and The Alchemy of Space
This module will take us further in our embodiment journey as we develop our skills of embodied listening and the alchemy of space. With a grounded, embodied sense of presence we can attune with depth and sensitivity to the world and people around us. As we learn to connect with the generative space within, we can access support and work constructively and effectively with situations. In a world where stress, division and fragmentation are increasing, these skills are a tremendous gift. We will bring our capacity for deep listening and healing presence into focus, and nurture the inner strength to transmute difficulties into creative possibility.
Module 4 -
Appreciate, Integrate
and Elevate
This module is an opportunity to really look around us, to see our lives and our environment, our communities, and our societies, with eyes of appreciation, and clarity. We see that everything that arises can be fuel for our continued healing and growth as we further integrate our past challenges into present strength. We will clarify even further what we stand for, what we work for, and what we want to give our life energy to supporting. We will look at any energy leaks and lean into any areas of fear and doubt to discover the intelligence they hold. We will strengthen our own container in practical, physical, emotional, and energetic ways as we choose to align ourselves with an indomitable force for good.
