Soulsong Healing Retreat

‘My experiencing of the Healing Retreat at Soul Song in Reefton. 7 Days of emersion in deep sacred space, in the forest amongst the trees and next to the beautiful flowing river.   Birds singing and the Cicadas calling their songs loudly at times then the quiet as they rest. All in search for healing, understanding acceptance, to know that l fit in and that it’s  possible to belong.  A healing place to be seen and held, a time of all things unfolding . A space to be, how ever l am and not be judged, yet supported by connection and community. And by the animals that l have come to enjoy. The wonder chickens excitted to see me in the morning clucking away...

Trauma-informed Spaces

When we say we are trauma-informed, what does that actually mean? Safety: Ensuring that you feel physically and emotionally safe. This does not mean you will always feel safe because of personal factors, what you carry in with you and occasional mistakes by us, but that you are essentially safe. Trustworthiness: We try. We may not always get close to the mark but we believe that listening and understanding where you are at helps us to maintain a helpful level of trust. Choice: It is up to you to participate as much or as little as you want. Collaboration: Healing is a journey together. Trauma-informed is not an end state, but a process. We are always learning and developing to become trauma aware, trauma sensitive, trauma responsive and trauma-informed. We both...

The Therapy Journey

If you have entered therapy and been given up on because you don't seem to be 'improving' or 'getting better fast enough' or continuing self-harm, drugs, anti-social behaviour, depression, self-isolation (insert your own struggles here), it can be very debilitating, defeating, rejecting, (insert your own term here).   Forms of therapy that understand that these areas of your life that are not working may stem from past patterns that kept you going under traumatic or difficult circumstances (even if you don't remember them) can make all the difference.   Therapy that seeks the internal resources that are still there and can be connected with again, helps make the healing journey possible to wellness, health and wholeness.   If it is looking bleak or hopeless in your life, let's remind ourselves that...

Changes

There are changes here at Innate Wisdom Connection and exciting news! This year has been one of tidal wave changes for me and for IWC. With trust and keeping focused on the vision, this is what is unfolding: I have had a long-term dream of creating a healing place in nature all my life. At the last two week retreat I consolidated this intention and shared it when I stepped into the Intention Circle. Soon after I let go of my home in Warburton and the very next day the right place presented itself. I, along with my partner Daryl, will be custodian of 2 beautiful acres by a gorgeous creek adjacent to magnificent state forest in Reefton, 20 minutes into the mountains from Warburton in the Upper...

The Conscious & the Unconscious

“But if we understand anything of the unconscious, we know that it cannot be swallowed. We also know that it is dangerous to suppress it, because the unconscious is life and this life turns against us if suppressed, as happens in neurosis. Conscious and unconscious do not make a whole when one of them is suppressed and injured by the other. Both are aspects of life. Consciousness should defend its reason and protect itself, and the chaotic life of the unconscious should be given the chance of having its way too - as much of it as we can stand. This means open conflict and open collaboration at once. That, evidently, is the way human life should be.” ― C.G. Jung So much of the unconscious drives us - and we...

The Year Ahead

Not many in-person groups next year but private groups (structured or informal)  are welcome to contact me. How does private group work ah…work? Many of you already know that I have been supporting people for a long time and that much of what I have studied and practiced is an experiential type of process that allows whatever is needing to emerge to come up safely and be processed or released or integrated. This means that what is focussed on is whatever people bring in to the space, rather than me providing the specific answers to issues. I provide the structure and guidance, then it is a group exploration that takes over and it may at times be relaxing, easy, messy, chaotic, stuck, exciting, boring, confusing, clarifying, amazing and any...

Can we be open-hearted and sceptical at the same time?

Mike writes: A friend asked this question recently: Do you believe in balancing a sceptical mind with an open heart? And what does that mean for you? It’s a great question and I believe that balancing healthy scepticism with an open heart is the essence of a grounded spirituality. To quote Jesus: “Behold, I send you out as sheep among wolves. Therefore be as wise as serpents and harmless as doves.” To me this means being under no illusions about people. Everyone behaves, at times, like a wolf – even though some are dressed up like sheep. We ALL have shadows and sooner or later, despite our good intentions, we hurt people, let them down, betray them. All of us! And yet we find it really hard to accept this...
