Force of Nature - ecotherapy, nature-connection, & self-awareness

2 nourishing days for women-identifying aspiring activists; who want to Find, and Feed, a place to speak-from.

Join us for a recharge through the mainframe of our natural world, while we help to identify what you stand-for and why; as well as how best to reside in that power, amidst the challenges of society and inner-doubt.

With SarahPoppy Jackson and Rozi Hilton, with a small group, in a beautiful outdoor setting. Taking place over two Saturdays: July 5th and August 30th.  10am-5pm 

• Are you hesitant, burned-out, exhausted, or overwhelmed - but feeling the urgency of a cause?
• Are you willing a message to a world that doesn't seem to hear or receive how important it is?
• Are you striving to make some difference, but need help refining your direction and purpose?
• Do you long to be a player for change, but need a little extra courage to take a stand?
• Would it help to feel community connection and resource from nature, while you plant-yourself firmly to face an issue?

Don't give-up! Don't stay with futility or aloneness… These restorative days on wild land can help you rediscover the WHY and HOW of using your own voice to speak out for what's needed. Using psychotherapeutic approaches and drawing from deep-nature we will be refilling the sense of possibility - being a part of the land, supported by the elements, and in touch with your specific power.

We are both activist facilitators have found trust in our own voices and our own roles of resistance. We want to nourish the confidence and energy of aspiring-activists, and offer you the same conviction in your own place in the competing forces of modern society. 

Attendance to these days also gives access to discounted one-to-one personalised sessions for a tailored response to your own inquiry. We're choosing to space out these two days where the same group will be meeting, so that we can keep the questions and practices alive over the intervening time - and you have a chance to work with either of us independently, if that's what you'd like.

• DAY 1 - We'll be focusing on: resourcing from our environment and tapping into life-force; refining your calling and purpose; taking a look at ‘what’s in the way' and how we are affected.
• DAY 2 - Will be about: how to be most effective, practising full-energetic transmission, and include a ritual of visibility.

Tickets are by sliding-scale depending on your resources and financial situation - Do get in touch and speak to  us if affordability is an issue for you. rozi@believethebird.com
