An introduction to an embodied mindfulness approach, focusing on gentle movement-based breathwork, centring and grounding practices.
This session provides practical tools to support the down-regulation of the stress response and lays the foundation for developing a mindful and embodied self-awareness.
Contemporary neuroscience confirms what ancient wisdom traditions have long known – that we have three intelligence centres or ‘brains’: the head (cephalic) brain, the heart (cardiac) brain and the gut (enteric) brain.
Our ability to balance these three brains or three ways of ‘knowing’ (through cognitive thought, creativity, feeling and intuition) is key in times of transformational change.
This session is an embodied meditation that guides participants to tune into, activate and balance these ‘three brains’.

The Core of U Pty Ltd was registered three years ago and Belinda Young and I focus on authentic leadership and accessing core values through greater self-awareness and conscious living.
An embodied mindfulness practice that assists us in connecting to and staying present with what is alive or present within us, and balancing that awareness with our perception of our external environment.
It is a balancing of interoception (feeling from the inside out) and exteroception (awareness from the outside in).
We practice this balancing in the session so that we are more easily able to stay present to ourselves, and to what is happening within our heads, hearts and guts when faced with challenging circumstances in our work and home lives.

A somatic activation that facilitates personal self-enquiry and intention setting.
It asks the following questions –
To be the fullest version of yourself:
a) what can you let go of or release?
b) in letting go of that, what have you made space for? What can you invite in?
c) What is the offer you can then make the world?
An exploration of archetypal body postures to activate particular states of readiness, focus and agility.
The session allows for self-enquiry around habitual responses and states in particularly high stress situations and provides the opportunity to begin practicing new responses.
In this session, the symbolic dimension of the sense of sight is explored as a portal for self-enquiry.
Through embodied explorations based on sight and focus, the session activates states that support the ability to zoom in to detail, and zoom out to big-picture thinking.
It also facilitates self-reflection around VISIONING.
An embodied exploration of the body systems of skeleton, joints, musculature and circulation as the basis for self-enquiry.
The metaphoric dimension of these systems is used as the portal for self-enquiry and investigation around the themes of structure and support (skeleton), agility (joints), mobility and vitality (musculature), and flow (circulation).
