Feeling deeply isn’t the problem.

The work isn’t to numb, suppress or control every emotion that moves through you. It’s to build the capacity to stay present with yourself while it moves.

To feel joy without gripping it.
Sadness without drowning in it.
Anger without becoming it.
Discomfort without immediately needing to escape it.

Regulation isn’t feeling less.
It’s expanding your capacity to experience the full range of being human, while staying connected to yourself through it.

You don’t need less emotion. You need more capacity to feel.

Connection is like showing our nervous system new evidence that it is safe to belong
To be loved . To be seen and heard.

It honestly warms my heart to see this in our space, because I know what that feels like, & I know what this gives to a nervous system that didn’t have enough of that experience.

We really do heal in the witnessing of an empathetic eye, we do in fact belong in tribes and communities ✨

There is a monthly invite for you to come, share the space, breathe and be, an opportunity to slow down and re-connect.

After my parents passed and I inherited the family property. I had a dream to turn it into a place of healing, born from my own loss and grief ❤️ a place where nature would hold you, where no matter how bad things felt there was the bird song, sunshine and fresh air to soothe the soul.
I have poured my heart and soul into this dream, that has at time been a challenge and steep learning curve! The part I love most about running a retreat centre is being in service to incredible retreat leaders, to create the space and atmosphere to elevate their work and offerings @spirasana I am so grateful and am excited for your upcoming retreats. #retreatvenue #wellnessretreats #retreatforhire taken in Bowen Mountain Retreat by @spirasana

Family can be a great door way to freedom of self. 🤍

If we can’t choose it or control it, we ought to surrender to it.

Family are part of the curriculum of “awakening” go to school….observe and contemplate the lessons but don’t take them personally, as they are merely lessons to free the self from the illusion. taken in Sydney, Australia by @spirasana

The 5 wounds live in all of us.

Rejection. Abandonment. Humiliation. Betrayal. Injustice.

Each one shaped a mask before you even had words for it. A brilliant strategy your young nervous system built to keep you safe.

The mask is not the enemy. It is the doorway to your freedom.

Swipe through to find the language for the state you are living in right now, and the way home.

There’s a dance in life not every generation before us knew the entire rhythm to. Each generation to follow fulfils the work to learn the right steps of that dance, and the choreography continues...

Now I just think it wasn’t a question of rhythm or steps. They just needed a regulated nervous system and a present heart to get lost in the flow of the music. by @spirasana

Grateful and honoured to do this work along side my beautiful wife, to facilitating this retreat for our beautiful community.

Breath, connection from the heart, nature, fire, coherence, co-regulation, a theme unfolding throughout 4 days of pure bliss and deep work.

Honestly, not for a moment did this retreat felt like work. It felt like stepping out for a second to guide someone across the road, and stepping right back into the house, the heart, where I belonged the whole time.

Watching everyone shift, watching the changes move through them, that witnessing cracked my own heart open more than anything else.

Huge thank you to everyone who said yes to this journey and showed up fully present and to @cassan.111 for being one of our angels.

👨🏼‍🍳 to chef Carlos for the love poured into every single meal.

This weekend didn't feel like time away doing the work. It felt like coming Home. 🫀

May what was awakened here continue to ripple through every life that gathered in this circle.

May we all continue to see the wisdom of our Mother Earth. As birds remind us that feeling free is natural. As fire reminds us that we can transform and be purified. As sound reminds us that prayer travels further than words. As the mycelium beneath our feet reminds us that every step we take is remembered, and nothing is walked alone.
And somewhere in the spaces between the laughter, the tears, the stillness, the music, and the embrace of ceremony, there were memories of who we were before fear, before survival, before life convinced us we had to carry so much alone.

We came together as strangers and left as kin. 🌿

Thank you to every beautiful soul who said yes to the journey and showed up fully, to the incredible chef Carlos who poured so much heart and energy into every meal, and big thank you to Louise @bowen_mountain_retreat , for going above and beyond to prepare this sacred space for us.

This is a week I will never forget.

We spend so much of our lives trying to get somewhere, yet the nervous system often finds its deepest exhale when we simply slow down enough to belong to where we already are.

We keep coming back to spaces like this, not to escape life but rather to return to it.

I get why our ancestors respected nature and often sought its still wisdom, sat in circles and heard each other’s matters of life.

Nature has a way of returning us to ourselves.

When was the last time you truly let the earth hold you?

You spend most of your life being someone’s something.

A parent. A partner. A provider. Someone who holds it together so everyone else can fall apart.

This is four hours where none of that is required.
Just you, your breath, cacao, and a room full of people who showed up for the same reason.

We move through a full ceremony together. Land acknowledgement, intention setting, breathwork, sound healing, eye gazing, integration.
Nothing performative. Everything felt.

Whether this is your first time in a space like this, you’ve done the work before, or you simply need somewhere to land for a few hours, you are welcome here. No experience needed.

No expectations placed. Just an open door and a genuine intention to support wherever you are on your journey back to yourself.

You won’t leave fixed. But you will leave more yourself than when you arrived.

Cacao Ceremony and Breathwork 🌬️
Friday April 11 · 12pm 🗓️
Payapa Studio, Banksia Sydney📍
Limited to 20 people. 👣

Our ceremonies arent just about breathwork, it’s allowing for what our society needs more of to unfold, one of those things is connection.

We are born co-regulators, through the gaze of our mothers and fathers.
Not only that we heal in the witnessing of an empathetic eye.

When we lock eye contact in a specific way, with the right prompting, something shifts.

In the moment we allow our selves to be seen the mind runs out of places to hide, it signals safety to the vagus nerve, and the heart rate slows and the breath deepens, allowing the central nervous system to soften.

For many of us eye contact meant danger, or the hiding of shame within, through this we allow the brain to rewire in that moment, to release oxytocin a bonding hormone, re-codes the trust safety and connection to one’s self.

It can also repair early attachment wounds around abandonment, visibility and conditional love as you are simply witnessed without the need for you to perform, fix or story-tell, just being witnessed for who you are as you are can crack armour.

This is often when tears come, when you are accepted and held, grief, fear, tenderness can finally feel allowed and held to be released.
