An open invitation to join us for this iteration of Embracing Embodiment ✨ Each session starts with a check-in, followed by a juicy yin class that will support our well-being according to the TCM paradigm (season-organs-emotions), and we’ll wrap up with an artistic exploration of what needs to express itself externally through materials. We end our sessions with a sharing and reflection, which allows us to feel heard, supported and be deeply witnessed. Our group can incorporate 3 or 4 more ladies for this year. It’s a closed format group, which means that you’ll see the same faces each time. When we feel comfortable, we can let our guards down and connect with the real. We run through June, and our first sessions starts this Friday 16/10. (Because I’m late on advertising, new participants are welcome to join until 06/11!) We’d be so honoured to have you join us. by @rhealise
👋Hi! Welcome to Realising the Inbetween! I'm Rhea, the founder of RTI. I figured it was time to really share my mission and vision with the wider public, especially for those of you who don’t know me personally. I spent a long time feeling like I didn’t belong anywhere. I always had friends, but I never felt like I had community, especially growing up in Bermuda. Living and studying in Spain with mostly women changed that for me. I finally experienced what I had been longing for: groups of women who could and would hold space for me to drop into deep feeling and not use those vulnerabilities against me. It was heart-healing 🩷 When we gathered, it felt wholesome, uplifting, and radically different than my experiences back home in Bermuda. Every woman should get to experience belonging. To be loved deeply by women who remind you of your beauty, who hold you accountable to your truth and your authenticity, and who call you into your fullest self. That is why I carry this as a mission: to be a torchbearer of womanhood. From a place of deep gratitude for the sisters who showed me how to accept love and love myself, I now create spaces of safety and belonging - the spaces I once so desperately needed. I want women to know: you are never too much, and you are never not enough. Your unique expression is welcomed, necessary, and honoured. In a culture that teaches us to compete, to shrink, to hide, just showing up authentically, allowing yourself to be seen in your humanness, is a radical act of self-love. And creating authentic connection and community, instead of competition, is one of the most powerful rebellions we can make. And this is what Realising The Inbetween is for 🩷 This is a space for women to come home to themselves and to feel alive... through art, breath and movement. I'm so looking forward to meeting you at one of our events, or in a private session. If you're curious, drop me a DM 📩 by @rhealise
A trauma smoothie bowl from us to yous. Because how can we expect you to be vulnerable with us if we don’t go first?! If you couldn’t tell (😅) we’re F A R from being self-actualized humans who have everything figured out. In a fast, loud world, we’re in constant practice of slowing down to hear our inner truths. It sometimes gets messy! And then it gets better and then messy again. No such thing as perfect on this side friends 🌀 But this season, we’re being asked to notice: -Where we’ve abandoned our own pace -Where we’ve been chasing instead of tending -Where we’ve held onto things that no longer fit That’s what our workshop EMBERS is about. It’s a space where we can slow down so we can actually sense our inner worlds. We’ll practice through movement, art-making, and community sharing. Come sit by the fire with us on SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3RD from 11am-2pm 🫶 DM Angie/Rhea to join! Where: Old Berkeley building (22 Berkeley Road, Pembroke) by @rhealise
❣️NEW DATE: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3 from 11am-2pm Hey friends! We had a check-in with eachother and felt that the days in September are still long and it feels like summer. So instead of forcing the timing, it felt right to postpone our gathering. Our fall equinox gathering will now take place on SAT, OCT 3 when the season has had a little more time to settle in. It honestly feels like the perfect way to practice what this workshop is all about. What this workshop is about: as much as we’ve loooooved summering, autumn is inviting us to slow down and turn inwards. And maybe theres a part of you that’s holding on to relationships, an identity, to certainty or maybe just the pace of summer. Whatever you’re carrying, it’s welcome in this space. EMBER is a 3-hour gathering where we’ll explore somatic movement, art making and community sharing. No experience needed. Just bring your curious selves 💓 DM Rhea/Angie to join. Wed love to spend this season with you! by @rhealise
But fr though, as much as we have loooved summering, our bodies are shifting us to move slower, go inwards, and conserve our energy. And in order to do that, we’re gonna need some courage to loosen our grip, let a season end, sit with uncertainty, and maybe face some of the parts of ourselves we’d rather run away from. But we don’t have to do it alone. This fall equinox, were gathering in community to slow down, move, make art and explore what it means to transition into a new season together. Join us SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3 from 11AM-2PM for a free-flow movement & art making gathering (all supplies included) We’d love to have you there! DM Angie or Rhea to join 🧡🫶 by @rhealise

Today I felt the grief well in my chest, asking to be acknowledged, asking for presence and stillness. It’s been 6 years and I’m just finding capacity to feel the magnitude of what it has meant to lose you. Feeling the pain has always been titrated, the feelings of abandonment and helplessness stored in the depths of my body in stiff fascia and aching joints, but today finally it comes in waves. And I am left to reflect on the inevitable change and the open space, a place of potential with you no longer here. Truthfully , I don’t wish for you to be here, though sometimes I do wish to see you. I accept and am glad that you’re no longer suffering, and yet a part of me wishes that you could have been better, asked for help, committed to the process, for yourself, and for us. Some of the things you’ve done have caused me pain that I carry deeply and am in the process of unlearning and yet, I know I’m shaped into the human that I am in all of the best ways, because of you. Thank you for choosing me to be your daughter. Thank you for sharing this time on Earth together. Thank you for being an example of what to do, and what not to do. Thank you for all the afternoons rolling the most pure spliffs at the kitchen table and laughing until my head hurt. Thank you for sharing your love of music and eclectic movies. Thank you for teaching me how to breathe and for going to my first therapy appointment with me. Thank you for believing in me. Navigating this grief with conflicting emotions might be something that last for the entirety of this earthly existence, but I understand it as proof of love, of humanness and imperfection. I’ll be sure to dedicate Enter Sandman to you at the next karaoke. I finally understand what you mean by not dating men who give me butterflies, you were right. I know you’d be proud of the work I do, that part of that is your legacy. I’ll see our farm through and lay my portion of your ashes there, in the banana trees. I miss being able to share a new music with you. There are times when my heart aches knowing that your future grandchildren won’t know you and you won’t be around for my big milestones. I love you. Happy Birthday 💙 🐈 🐓🍃 by @rhealise
A recap from our last Nature of Being series workshop on June 21 where we explored ALIVENESS. It was filled with moments of making art, dancing, jamming, talking, processing, feeling, wiggling, shaking, flowing. We hope you get the chance to remember your aliveness and allow others to hold you in that. Bc we’re not meant to journey alone BBG! 😘 Reliving these shared moments has us feeling so alive. We’re so grateful to everyone who came. We love youuu! See you at the next one in September 🫶 Sounds by @cadeemlamarr by @rhealise

Because we need you and each other in your own version of aliveness ❤️ soooo excited to share this space with you What to bring: clothes to move in & hydration of choice Saturday, June 20th at the Old Berkeley building DM Rhea or Angie to join by @rhealise
A nourishing and heart opening weekend spent doing my favourite things - deeply feeling and dancing. I think words will fall short of doing this experience justice, and I’m sharing this still riding the waves of oxytocin that come when you find a place of belonging with the ease and comfort to show up as yourself. This weekend we marinated and lingered in slowness, in full body awareness and connection, finding pathways to articulate through even the most unchartered parts of the body. We learned together and affirmed the quiet courage of sharing vulnerabilities, uplifting one another’s unique essence and gifts through compassionate gazes, hugs and a whole lot of hootin’ and hollering’. My heart is filled with so much gratitude for having crossed paths with these truly wonderful women. ✨ 1. A weekend in review. 2. A birdseye view of Maui 3. Feeling at home and supported by the wonderful space that is @waikapudanceworks . Thank you @hifelicia808 ! 4. Morning matcha run views 5. Everything is delicious @momonabakery but most fulfilling were early morning conversations with my retiree friend Carlitos. 6. @mauiseaside was delightful. Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful newly renovated rooms… and they even offer Hawaiian paddle immersion on a Sunday morning. (Not to be confused with paddle boarding though 😂) 7 & 8. Meeting soul-sistars is always reaffirming and heart healing. 9. Feeling accomplished, especially having enjoyed the journey. 10. Thank you @crystellers for filming and for encouraging and witnessing me with compassion and care. Who would’ve thought that 4 months ago I couldn’t walk and I just completed my @liquidmotionct certification after a weekend intensive of dancing ?! Life is truly a wild ride. @california_andrea having you as an instructor was nothing short of magical. Thank you for your clarity, confidence and commitment to sharing your embodied knowledge and passion with us 🫶🏼 by @rhealise
If your social feeds look anything like ours, then maybe you resonate with the feeling of slipping into moments of overwhelm and hopelessness 🫠 That’s why, when planning this workshop, we knew how important it was to prioritize HOPE, ALIVENESS, and CONNECTION during these times. To practice being fully alive with what’s real for us, together. Because we need you and each other ❤️ As a reminder, the Nature of Being workshops are a seasonal community workshop series for women where we move and make art, so we can embody and create the new worlds we’re dreaming of together. ALL LEVELS WELCOME What to bring: soft clothes to move in + hydration of choice Hopefully we’ll see you for ALIVENESS on Saturday, June 20th at the Old Berkeley building DM Rhea or Angie to join 🫶 by @rhealise
