Trauma-Informed Practice for Women's Circle/Events Facilitators
Holding space for women’s work is sacred. Whether you facilitate Red Tents, rites of passage, retreats or yoga circles, you are likely creating powerful openings for transformation. Yet what many facilitators don’t realise is that these very spaces can unintentionally trigger trauma responses — both in others and within ourselves.
In this workshop, we’ll explore what it really means to hold a trauma-informed circle. You’ll learn how trauma shows up in group spaces, how to foster nervous system safety and co-regulation, and how to create containers that are inclusive, responsive and empowering for all participants — without needing to be a therapist.
Many facilitators enter this work without formal training in trauma awareness. That’s not a failure — it’s a symptom of a wider gap in how we prepare space holders for the depth of what they may encounter. As the saying goes: you don’t know what you don’t know.
This session is an invitation to learn, reflect and refine your practice with care and curiosity. You’ll leave with practical tools and insights that honour both the Mystery and the mechanics of holding safe, brave and truly healing spaces.

Women's Wellness Wisdom with Carly Walker-Smith
In our modern day ‘evolutionary mismatched’ lives it can be so easy to lose sight of where we need to focus our attention to support our health optimally. Bombarded with content and contradiction surrounding what we ‘should’ do, we are frequently overwhelmed which can lead to us being in a state of analysis paralysis or ‘freeze’ and taking no action at all to positively support our health, particularly when prioritising ourselves over others may also be a pattern.
Focussing on the foundations of optimal health; sleep, nutrition, stress management, movement, breathing and light/circadian rhythm we can begin to pay attention to simple habitual changes that can be woven into the threads of our day to day lives moving us towards a state of more energy and vitality. This effect can be layered to elevate our health as we develop realistic strategies to embed sustainable biologically aligned changes. Self-care requires self-discipline but with gentle renewed focus, change is possible. We have the power within ourselves to make free/low cost changes that can dramatically improve our health.
This session will explore some of these foundational aspects of our health with opportunity for reflection and discussion surrounding the development of actionable points that can work for you sustainably. -
Holding each other's world - connecting to the core with Kerstin Bucceliero
This workshop is exploring how our thoughts, memories, and feelings shape how we see life and connect with others. We are used to process everything in our heads, which can create tension, especially in our necks, making it hard to listen to what our hearts and bodies are telling us.
We’ll focus on the first vertebra, called the Atlas, which supports the weight of our heads, and learn about its importance. Through mindfulness and awareness exercises, we’ll practice letting go of the mental clutter, opening to experiencing life with our bodies, minds, and hearts fully.
One of the key activities will involve a special type of hold, where one person gently supports another’s head, creating a sense of trust and deep relaxation. The person holding will practice listening with their hands, heart, and soul, without judgment, simply allowing the other person to relax and let go.
We’ll also explore the sacrum (the base of the spine) and its connection to our nervous system and sensory experiences. When someone holds this area with care, it can bring about deep relaxation. By combining holds at both the sacrum and the back of the head, we’ll discover how these connections help us feel supported and in tune with ourselves.
This workshop is about using mindfulness and loving kindness to connect deeply with ourselves and others, allowing for a fuller experience of life. -

Tuning to your Inner Wilderness with Akua Gutierrez
This workshop is an introduction to the Four Shields of Human Nature, a rites of passage framework and map for our modern lives. It is a medicine wheel and brings profound insights into the interconnected dimensions of our body, soul, mind, and spirit. It is an essential teaching for regaining our human wholeness within the wholeness of life. It is archetypal, crossing boundaries between cultures and time; it is both simple and profound.
Our lives move with the seasonal cycles and directions found in the natural world. It begins in the summer of physical awakening (child), turns into the fall of our inner depths (adolescence), moves into the south of our intellect (adult), and emerges in the mysteries of spring (spirit). The Four Shields also helps us understand the maladies and symptoms that occur when the natural cycles become hindered in our lives.
This earth-based medicine wheel invites us to sit with our inner wilderness always mirrored back in nature in its wholeness, beauty, and complexity. It reminds us that we are not separate from nature and are part of its never-ending spirals of birth, growth, death, and rebirth.
In this workshop we will be exploring the Four Shields of Human Nature medicine wheel and understand how it can be used as a tool for accessing deep insights, inner growth, and healing. I will introduce the basic elements of this ancient archetypal wisdom and through teaching, circle work, and a guided process we will explore how it speaks to our own life journey and aids us in restoring movement toward wholeness.
