Innate Wisdom Connection

Innate Wisdom Connection provides profound in-depth group work via workshops and retreats as well as individual journeys via sessions and individual programs into healing, community, nature and open-hearted transformation.

There are four aspects to Innate Wisdom Connection that can be experienced in individual workshops or retreats, whenever you like or experienced as an intensive year long journey:

– Somatic Healing & Transformation: powerful, nurturing processes that changes lives
– Eco-healing: Deep Ecology & Healing Ecology in natural environments
– Healing & Transformation workshops, retreats and sessions
– Shamanic Healing – effective safe core traditional practices of healing that does not steal from specific cultures

Innate Wisdom Connection draws on a variety of traditions and modalities, including Jungian Psychology, Somatic Psychology, Gestalt, Nature Immersion, Healing Kink, Process Work, Psychodrama, Focusing, Voice Dialogue, Deep Ecology, Aus Indig, Native American and Maori Bodywork and other grounded approaches to healing. The aim is to connect you with the healing wisdom that is inherent in your own body and soul, from Mother Earth, from Spirit, and from the collective wisdom of the group.

Each of us is born with an ability to access this innate wisdom, but the connection may be lost due to negative experiences, conditioning, trauma, life events or distractions leading to fear, blocks or difficulties in the emergence of healthy, free-flowing connection for the body and with others.

Western culture, with its focus on individuality, emphasises our separateness from others and the natural world.  In addition, thousands of years of patriarchal and colonial domination have led to high levels of distrust between people and within themselves.

Disconnection can lead to deep unhappiness, isolation, emotional shut-down, tiredness, dis-spiritedness and can manifest in physical, emotional, spiritual or mental health problems.

Reconnecting to the innate wisdom, which is our birthright, requires a safe, powerful and soul-stirring experiential approach which goes beyond just  intellectual understanding. Innate Wisdom Connection brings together the experience of deep unflinching support within loving community, inner discovery and awareness, touching on how nature and the wild are part of us, learning to hold and love our bodies in compassionate consciousness, and the mystical unfolding of awareness that we are both uniquely individual and also one with everything else in the universe.

Being heard, seen and understood even in your most vulnerable or difficult states, memories or moments and participating in inclusive, open-hearted and healing experiences changes our lives and can change the world.
