Embodied Visioning

Embodied Visioning

For those wanting to explore a vision of their future by connecting to their somatic felt sense – that is intrinsically trusted, meaningful and clear to the body itself. Exploring the link between embodiment, awareness, and social systems. Half day group workshops.

Embodied Visioning can help us connect to an embodied sense of direction (an inner compass) and an intuitive source of guidance that may be inaccessible, or sometimes even contrary, to that of the thinking mind. When this inner resource is uncovered, it can bring immense clarity and inspiration, guiding our life and work journey.

‘Once you come into this literal body here then you find a space that is much bigger. It is quite clear that it is not exactly your literal body, but that is where the entrance is.’

– Eugene Gendlin

Workshops and Coaching

Working gently with the body, through sensing and moving practices, Somatic Health can be offered in a variety of contexts, and tailored to each unique situation – sometimes working with more than one modality. Below is a menu of the different formats through which we can explore this territory together. I’d love to hear from you if you’d like to schedule a session or workshop, or to discuss possible combinations.

Coming to Our Senses

Group workshops for anyone interested in beginning to connect and more deeply connect with the sensory language of their body. For stabilisation, rest, vitality and resilience from burnout and overwhelm. Offered as an introductory session and follow-on course of eight, two-hour workshops. Also as short, responsive sessions outside of regular workshop spaces.

Recovering Connection

What People Say. True Testimonials.

Enjoyment

‘This is the best experience. I love it’ (S)

Embodied Visioning

‘The clarity of the visual and gesture that came from Embodied Visioning is still of great value to me now, a year later – I have fully embodied it – it has become part of me and has walked me forward into so much newness in my life’ (Sarah N D)

Understanding the Body-Mind Connection

‘I’m coming to understand that the mind and body don’t function in isolation but in tandem – each informs the other, they are in constant communication’ (H)

‘I learn more about my whole self. I value this time – I’ve denied myself body time. I’m realising that for years I have ignored my body and my mind’s ability to work with it. I am grateful, in no state of need and full of positive expectation’ (J)

Understanding Me Just As I Am

‘Jenny has done more to help me understand and unlock the depths, subtleties and aliveness of my body, through our body work and somatic sessions, than any other practitioner I’ve ever worked with.

Jenny’s humanity and deep commitment to understanding me just as I am in that very moment, comes through every time we work together.

Jenny’s breadth of life experience, skills and talents means she can move in an instant in almost any direction with ease, spontaneity, creativity and presence’ (abie)

Healing Shock by Bringing Past and Present Together

‘Jenny has a unique way of connecting people to what deeply matters to them. I could feel the hurt in my body, name it and locate that with the confusion in my mind. I could link what was happening in the present to what had happened in the past.

It put something back into my hands because I had connected to the source of it and got some level of balance again.

I had a desperate need to understand and this unique approach brought me into the zone so that I could safely explore the magnitude of what had happened. I could manage the hurt because I knew what it was.

This is a unique way of helping me to make sense of a difficult situation’ (L)

Body as a Source of Relief

‘I felt so safe’ (S)

‘I realised how much more of me there is, unconsciously giving me relief, versus the part of me identifying with the addiction’ (JE)

‘When the word REST was said, in relation to my knee: the restriction I had placed on my body to be well was released, multiple muscle sets released and the body suddenly felt more at peace with itself.

It just hadn’t occurred to me before, as a real tangible option, that I and my knee could have a direct communication as a way of healing. Over time my knee became my friend as I could recognise when I was pushing it and myself too hard or when my body was up for challenging itself more.

This placed the whole recovery process firmly back into mine and my body’s hands. The results were a fast rate of recovery which I hadn’t found through physiotherapy and pain relief medication’ (Re)
