A Wise Heart… 

✦ Knows limitless-ness, but is also informed by limits

✦ Understands certain things about the nature of experience to surf waves wisely

✦ Won’t bail when we’re most in need. It has staying power.

✦ Knows how to stand up and say no, to protect what’s important to you - even if you’re not approved of

✦ Knows when to lie down and rest and say nothing at all.

In The Collective Well - Heart, we will explore the two wings of love and wisdom flaring together, backed by the weight of our embodiment.

In this 3-month online program, with the holding of wisdom teachings and the support of a vibrant practice community, you will be supported to make real change in how you relate to yourself and the people around you. 

Join us if you want to tap into the limitless power of your own heart - and you feel that structure, guidance and community accountability will support you to really do it.

👉🏼The Collective Well runs from August 10th - November 2nd. Earlybird bookings are available until Weds 23rd July, via link in bio.
👉🏼Free Q&A about The Collective Well - Tuesday 22nd July 6pm. Zoom link in bio. All welcome.

I think many of us know how scary things can get when love leaves the house. When knee-jerk reactions reign and we limit people into labels and others.

And what a difference it makes when we can bring it home. In more ways than one.

In these tender and tumultuous times, we need deeper resources to meet what's here. To plant deeper as we watch things uprooting. To find what's uniquely ours to do.

The Collective Well - Heart is a three-month online mentorship where ancient Buddhist maps meet modern life. You will learn how to:

✓ Stay open without being overwhelmed or losing boundaries

✓ Respond to yourself with tenderness rather than judgment or criticism

✓ Counter negative biasing and cultivate reciprocal relationship with life

✓ Create a field of care and belonging that opens out rather than self-insulates

✓ Find what is uniquely yours to do - deeper than shoulds and reactive patterns

This isn't about creating a private chamber of peace. It's about resourcing yourself with wisdom and heart to stay with what's hard and beautiful.

Live teaching sessions, guest speakers, community support, recorded for those who can't attend.

Early Bird pricing ends July 23rd. Payment plans available.

The world is our monastery. Bookings and more info via link in bio.

Hello every-one,

So excited here to let you know that The Collective Well - Heart, a 3-month practice intensive from Aug 10th - Nov 2nd 2025, is now open for bookings!

I knew this year I had to focus on the heart teachings in The Collective Well.  

In these tender and tumultuous times, it's natural to want to harden up, withdraw, or numb out in the face of what’s hard - both personally and politically. 

Grounded, discerning love feels most important right now. 🔥

In the Collective Well, we’ll protect a practice space where together we can head into deeper waters, under the static and defenses, and explore these precious heart teachings. . . 
. .Your mind relaxes into the pulsing of your heart. ❤️

When you get up close to this raw and tender power - the safety comes, the bravery comes, the creativity comes. Deep shifts can happen - you can go deeper than patterns - and be resourced to follow through on what's important to you. ❤️

….But you can't force a heart open any more than you can force another to love you, or a wild animal to come close.

This takes practice, and wise handling. 

The Collective Well - Heart includes live online classes with me, guest teachers, Q&As, community support, and weekly silent sits. All sessions recorded.

Early Bird pricing until July 23rd. Payment plans available. Bookings and more info at link in bio.

From the heart out to the hands. Let's ignite practice together.

Celebrating NAIDOC week here in Naarm/Melbourne.

It continues to strike me that while the Buddha’s teachings, at 2,500 years old, can be considered ancient, here on this land Indigenous Australians and their ancestors have lived, stored and shared knowledge for over 80,000 years - the oldest living tradition in the world.

I honour the resilience, power and wisdom of First Nations people, and their ongoing care for, and connection with, this beautiful country 🧡

Free class tomorrow! The Unstoppable Heart ❤️‍🔥

Your heart can do what your mind cannot.

Tomorrow, we'll explore this together - the potent capacity that lives within you to rise again and again, to meet experience with wisdom and warmth.

It’s not like we find our hearts in some ideal place, or we have to wait until we’re feeling great. You don't need to have it all figured out to benefit from these teachings and practices. 

In fact - and the tradition backs this - we can find the heart right in the midst of a difficult moment, if we can apply the right remedy.

Join me online tomorrow evening, as we enter the potent territory of the heart.

The new website is here!

Many hands were involved over the last few years - quite a powerhouse of women - a big thanks to my awesome collaborators over the years - Annette Herschtal, Kirsty Moegerlein, Sun Haas, Nerida Lennon, and Sylvia Rowley who is now working with me!

To celebrate, I’m offering a free online class on The Unstoppable Heart on Weds 9th July - I’d love you all to come. This kicks off a season of heart - leading into this year’s Collective Well, a 3-month mentorship centered on heart teachings

A powerful heart is not naive openness.

It’s a discerning, tender and sometimes fierce love - supported by steady ground and the recognition that we are all part of a wider network of belonging.

We've been busy in the studio preparing for The Collective Well 2025!

This will be a three-month online mentorship with me, assistant teachers, and three deeply practiced guest speakers focusing on the HEART.

❤️‍🔥The human heart has the capacity to rise again and again, through great loss and hardship.

As your heart and inspiration engages through practice - as you get behind your own life -  there can be such powerful shifts. Tremendous warmth, energy, and courage can enter your life. 🔥

Together, we will be strengthening our hearts - unnumbing, healing - backed wisdom & discernment, and the deeper resource of our embodiment.

This feels important now.

Details:

- 3 month online course: August 10th - November 2nd

- Optional 3-day in-person retreat, only for The Collective Well participants: 15-17th November

👉🏼 Registrations will open in June. Sign up to my newsletter in link in bio to be the first to hear when early bird seats open.

Do you want to come together to settle, orient to a freer space, make room for fresh insight?

Let’s gather to resource ourselves for the year to come.

*

It can be hard to stop playing the same broken records even if we know they’re starting to grind. 

Key insights mapped in the Dharma can assist us to break out of these old loops  

Written like freedom tattoos in original teachings, these insights help open up and loosen our experience - our lives.

Join us in exploring tuning to a different channel, disidentifying with repetitive states – writing fresh music.

It feels imperative to interrupt cycles of stress response and reactivity. This takes some time and dedication.
With these ancient maps behind us, the support of a collective, and the intelligence in our bodies when we slow down, let’s see what emerges from this space - it’s sure to be interesting!

Out of the unknown the birds sing.

This day will include :
• Meditation instruction.
• Themed Dharma talks.
• Group enquiry.
• Journaling time
• Q & A and personal reflection.

It feels imperative to widen practice up and off the cushion. 

Thanks to the committed fifty or so people who joined me in this year’s four month mentoring program, exploring new territory in The Collective Well 2024. 

Sofia Diaz, one of my teachers, first asked me to paint this ta***ic map around ten years ago, at the Women’s House of Integral Practice in the USA.

A deeply feminine practitioner, she widened practice for me, pretty much yanked me out of some of the confines of my practice.

This year we revived this ancient symbol, depicting unique elemental capacities that work both within and outside of us.  

This map rests on understandings laid down in the Insight tradition, on the foundational teachings/practices which we continued to explore over the four months. 

This work explores unblocking and empowering different qualities - so they can function freely, in our lives.

***  

Thanks too to all the Tibetan Vajra-yana teachers like Trungpa who graciously, and generously brought this work to the west.

Coming down to ground looking at the moon after the final retreat for the Collective Well mentoring program 2024!

Join us for Honest Reckonings this weekend.

Join Ruth Langford, Indigenous medicine practitioner, song woman and Story Teller, and Jess Huon, Dharma teacher and poet, to explore diverse practices to collectively and individually thaw out the ‘freeze’ that can be brought on by the suffering and pain in our world right now. 
We’ll harness different ways to resource ourselves to both stay and move with the discomfort of our personal and collective situation in a way that can propel fresh engagement. 

Held within a collective, deeper than individual control, we’ll make room for what can emerge out of the unknown and open to being surprised, even delighted, by what can arise.
