Deep Listening: A Ceremony of Connection
This course offers a simple yet profound ceremony—an invitation to pause, to rest, and to open into the deepest listening.
Together we will explore a way of being that softens habitual tensions and allows body, heart, mind, and soul to reconnect. By letting go of agendas and expectations, we create the conditions to receive through our whole being. In this openness, we begin to sense our inseparable connection with the living Earth—a unified flow of consciousness where clouds, leaves, sun, moon, rocks, and rivers become our teachers and companions.
Through this practice, the body becomes a map, guiding us into both the inner and outer landscapes of nature and the wider Universe. As our awareness shifts and our senses awaken, we may experience a deepening wholeness and an enlivened clarity—a way of meeting life that is grounded, responsive, and fully alive.
What to expect
• Gentle, hands-on work rooted in the Alexander Technique
• Time alone in nature to listen and reflect
• Opportunities to share our experiences in Council
• A closing ceremony of gratitude to honour our lives and this shared journey
This course is an invitation to step into presence, to listen with the whole of yourself, and to allow life to move through you with openness and vitality.

Autumn Vision Quest
Eryri National Park, North Wales,

September 7th - 18 2025

An Ancient Rite for Modern Times
The Vision Quest is a powerful ceremonial journey that marks a life transition - a crossing from one phase of life into the next. Rooted in ancestral traditions, this eleven-day immersion invites you into the wild, where nature becomes the mirror, your teacher, and your guide.

Your Personal Journey
We each carry a story - shaped by childhood, relationships, ancestry, and experience. These stories are held in our bodies, etched into our nervous systems, woven through our patterns and dreams.

Rites of Passage in a Challenging World
In today’s fast-paced and fragmented world, many of the old ceremonies have been lost. We often feel disoriented, unsure of what matters, and disconnected from meaning. The Vision Quest offers a way home.

This ceremony is for those who long to reawaken their connection with nature, spirit, and self - who wish to step into the next chapter of life with intention and clarity.

Here, the outer landscape reflects the inner terrain. The wild reveals what is real and enduring. We are not separate. The world is an eternal mirror, and our deepest truths live beyond the limitations we have inherited.

This is your time to ask:
Who am I?
What is mine to bring to our world?

An Invitation to Cross the Threshold
The commitment to this sacred ceremony is both a challenge and a gift. It offers the opportunity to mark a meaningful life transition - to honour what is passing, embrace what is emerging, and move forward with renewed purpose. To celebrate who you are.
