Just 2 Places Left on this incredible training immersion…..

Welcome to Our Bodies and The Body of The Earth,

As the final touches are being made to this wonderful training immersion weekend, we have just 2 places left, don’t miss out!
Mona has been busy harvesting and preparing the food, the site is being set up and we are looking forward to welcoming the group for this immersive, somatic experience and training. We know it will be a deep and nourishing personal journey, as well as informative and beneficial for those of you in therapeutic practices.
Time to explore eco-somatic practices in nature and dive deep into vagal toning … this could be the change you need in your life right now….. many of the teachings translate equally as well into self development work, as they do into professional practices such as counselling, yoga and facilitator work.

Our Bodies and Body of the Earth

September 5-7, 2025.

An Eco-somatic Training Immersion for Counsellors, Yoga Teachers, and Facilitators.

Eco-somatics are embodiment practices that celebrate wholeness and belonging. They seek to heal our cultural split of mind from body and from the body of the Earth and guide us into a richer relationship with each other and the natural world.

This weekend teaching immersion is for you if you are looking to:

Integrate eco-somatics into your yoga teaching or therapy practice, through experiential teachings and simple, yet powerful practices.
Learn about polyvagal theory and yoga practice as a way of stabilising and grounding. Bringing mind, body and ecological nervous system together in co-regulatory relationships.
Deepen your sensory and perceptual skills.
Reclaim your innate connection to nature through a series of practices that encourage a sense of rewilding, enchantment and wholeness.
Learn fresh ways of attuning to your home-place, enriching your experience of the local earth wherever you live.
This immersion weekend is suitable for:

all those looking to deep dive into working in an earth-centric way, for self-healing or within a therapeutic setting.
those simply wanting to explore eco-somatics for the first time or for self-development.
Yoga teachers, Counsellors, Therapists and Group facilitators.
Whilst there is no specific pre-requisite training required, some understanding of working with the body / mind is helpful and therefore, applications will be invited for those looking to expand this into an existing practice or training, that sits within eco somatic and therapeutic work.

You will experience three days of outdoor and classroom-based training, where you can fully immerse yourself in intentional and experiential practices that include:

Sacred walking & outdoor yoga.
Working with plant allies
Breathwork and Somatic meditation
Polyvagal Theory and practices
Shamanic journeying
Group discussion
Deep rest
It is important to make a commitment to arrive in time for the first group meeting and to attend all the days.

Costs:

£420 – Shared twin room, full-board.
£500 – Stable block bay room, single occupancy, full-board (limited availability).
£350 – non-residential option (includes lunch and tea & cake)
There will be a maximum of 14 trainees on this training immersion.

The Venue:

The Redfield Centre is a residential course venue sited in the converted stable and coach house at Redfield Community in Winslow, Buckinghamshire, with 17 acres of gardens, beautiful woodland, orchards and pasture.

Training sessions will take place outdoors in the open sided, canvas yoga tent, in the surrounding woodlands, as well as indoors in the beautiful, converted barn studio space adjacent to the accommodation in the Redfield Centre.

What’s included?

Three days training, Fri, Sat 10am to 5pm and Sunday 10am to 3pm. Some additional evening and early morning sessions will be offered to residential students before breakfast and after dinner.

Example menu: Carrot soup, salad & home baked bread for lunch and dal & rice for dinner. Fruit, date slices or poppy seed cake for tea breaks.
Special, essential, dietary requirements can be catered for with advanced notice.
You can immerser yourself fully or if you need more rest, you can opt out of sessions as needed. There is free space everyday to journal and rest or to chat and socialise.
Accommodation

The Accommodation at the Redfield Centre is simple, rustic and clean in a beautiful rural setting. All rooms offered are double occupancy, either in the converted stable bays or the 4 rooms in the former cottages. Single occupancy can be booked in the stable bays at a premium.

The Simplicity of Somatics.....

I am often asked about practices that can be used to calm the mind and body.... and what I have noticed is that we often look for something quite complex or time consuming.

I wonder do you feel that the smallest, simplest practices can't be enough? I know I used to....

The truth is that simple techniques are very effective if we know how to target the Vagus nerve..... for example try humming to engage the relaxation / calm response......
