These specialist workshops give the option for more unusual wellbeing delivery.
They integrate embodied experience, symbolic reflection, and environment-based awareness in carefully structured, professionally facilitated formats.
Each session is invitational, adaptable, and designed with pacing and accessibility in mind.
There are some examples below but get in touch to create a bespoke workshop.
🕊 Aerial Perspective & Embodied Awareness

Containment and support
Letting go of ground (physically or metaphorically)
Trust and self-regulation
Additional creative outlets such as drawing and journalling are combined to create opportunities to reflect.
