Design & deliver movement sessions rooted in emotional depth and authentic expression.
Embodied Freedom Movement Training recognises feelings as powerful resources and essential guides in life. Here, participants experience that feelings have information:
- fear illuminates what needs to be created
- anger reveals what they deeply care about
- sadness connects them to their longings
- joy fuels their forward movement.
Build a village together - collaborate, empower and celebrate one another; Curate intentional, intuitive playlists crafted for conscious movement for people to feel and arrive.
Drop your layers that are holding you back - become a space for transformation to unfold
“I have just been absolutely blown away by whats been on offer, and how thats allowed me to drop the expectations, drop the structure, the plan.”
Embodied Freedom Movement Spaceholder Training
This training also taps into preverbal language, allowing participants to respond from their body and heart, awakening an inner compass within a caring community. Through music, participants reconnect to sadness, anger, fear, and joy, cultivating emotional literacy. They learn to listen to music differently, fine-tuning their capacity to discern how different sounds/ songs/ lyrics evoke specific feelings. This understanding allows them to create soundscapes that include feelings and emotions, paving a path for reconnection to their inner experiences.
Since the first training in May, Embodied Freedom has begun evolving into a community of spaceholders. Here, connection, experimentation, and healing are at the forefront, as participants support one another in growing their authentic presence and resilience. Mistakes are celebrated, and a collaborative environment helps people discover their unique expression and take a stand for their creations.
Build a community to keep growing with
This workshop isn't about cathartic expression; instead, it focuses on discerning the information that feelings and emotions provide. It’s about shedding masks and listening to the heart’s language. Rooted in Possibility Management, this training fosters emotional curiosity and inner navigation, empowering participants to hold space from a grounded, open-hearted place. Embodied Freedom invites each person to embrace their emotions and navigate with their feelings by embodying their the five bodies—emotional, physical, energetic, mental, and archetypal—creating spaces where genuine transformation and connection can unfold.

This is a skill that not only enhances your ability to co-create but also fosters community, allowing everyone to bring their strengths together.

This training helps you heal from school and modern culture by encouraging play, experimentation, and allowing things to unfold without overthinking.
It’s about giving things a go, embracing mistakes, and learning through experience. This is the real 'getting it right'!
-
You’ll practice listening to your impulses and acting on them before filtering through the mind.
This cultivates an unfiltered creativity and intuition, allowing you to connect more deeply with your natural flow.

You’ll gain practical skills in how to listen to and work with music as a collaborator for holding space.
-
During this training you’ll refine your ability to sense, work with, and align the five bodies (physical, emotional, mental, energetic, and archetypal), helping you tune into your purpose.
You’ll be able to hold space for others with a greater awareness of how these bodies interact, allowing for a more nuanced and effective facilitation of spaces.
Participants practise to use their feelings to stand for their values, create with fear’s insights, express love through sadness, and move forward with joy.
“I didn’t know how to feel other than an overwhelm of mixed emotions.
Now l’ve learned how I can feel anger and fear and sadness and joy in such a beautiful, conscious way, and be able to really tune in and express that.”

Unfolding the Seed: 6-week Online Follow-up
The Spaceholder training includes a 6-week online follow-up course: Unfolding the Seed.
This is to help you put the training into action. In this space we will go through all the steps to create and hold your first in-person space, either with friends at home or in public within your community.
You’ll practise the skills needed to deliver you first session with your team, such as: how to speak and offer prompts at the same time as playing music, how to emotionally prepare and handle your own fear, and how to hold space for the emotions and feelings that arise in a somatic movement space.
While the main focus is on practise, the course also includes the practical side of events production, such as: concept development, space rental and decoration, poster design, music playlist curation and sourcing, tech equipment support and DJ skills.

This training is an invitation to awaken your authentic connection, emotional freedom, and the inner strength to create spaces where hearts can open, preverbal language is rediscovered, and communities of genuine transformation flourish. 🌿
Unfold the wisdom of your feelings - your first non-verbal language
You’ll be empowered to hold space for embodied practices by cultivating a stronger connection to yourself. This happens through aligning your physical body with your other bodies, allowing you to tune into what’s really alive in you, into your purpose. Your self-awareness and ability to emotionally regulate will increase, enabling you to better navigate stress and build resilience.
From this place, together, we practise holding that space for others. You’ll grow your ability to use music as a medicine, focusing on increasing energetic awareness through sensing, noticing, and deepening your understanding of the five bodies.
We have a go. We make mistakes, we go again. We heal, feel, dance, move, create and play to meet ourselves and each other anew each moment.
Create conscious movement spaces for others to remember what’s been forgotten. Connect to yourself and create from what’s real for you and alive Unfold the wisdom of your feelings - your first non-verbal language
