Workshops, Courses & Retreats
Throughout the year, I run a mixture of online workshops and webinars, long courses, and (situation permitting) in-person nature reconnection and Work That Reconnects retreats. Visit the Events page to see a list of upcoming one-off events.
Islands of Coherence - Thursdays at 7-8:30pm UK time (online)
Prolonged periods of low-level stress and uncertainty can play havoc on our physical and mental health, and as we face a growing sense of threat, uncertainty and instability, it is more important than ever to find a space where we can come together, to listen, to be seen and heard, and to make sense of the world together.
Along with Deep Adaptation Coach Matthew Painton, I aim to create a space for those who want to meet together with others who feel the noise and the dissonance, and want to sit together in the uncertainty. This is not a space to solve, fix or explain anything - it is not about debating opinions or adding to the noise. The idea is to create ‘islands of coherence’ - little spaces of certainty in our calendars, little havens of coherence in a sea of chaos, where we can share heartspace, reflect, share feelings, and find inspiration.
We will meet every Thursday at 7pm UK time for 90 minutes to share, reflect, and hear each other. Join the Facebook group for the link or email me.
Work That Reconnects Retreat

Spring 2021 (TBC)
Join me and facilitator Maria Bliklen in the Vysočina region of the Czech Republic, near the protected landscape area of Žďárské vrchy, between the towns of Humpolec and Havlíčkův Brod. Just over 90 minutes from Prague by train, or an hour’s drive from Brno, this all-inclusive nature retreat will take you through the spiral of the Work That Reconnects, while giving you a chance to enjoy beautiful surroundings. Facilitation will be mainly in English, with potential for German and Czech translation. More about The Work That Reconnects.
Upcoming:
Workshop - Deep Dive Into EQ
Date TBC 2020 - Prague, Czech Republic
Emotional Intelligence is linked with greater happiness and wellbeing, better relationships, and better career outcomes. But what is it, and how can you master it?
In this workshop we will:
Learn just what "Emotional Intelligence" is and how it differs from regular intelligence
Find out why emotions are not something silly to be ignored or repressed, but vital data that drives everything you do
Discuss the eight 'competencies' of EQ according to Six Seconds, and how you can increase them
Find out your strengths and weaknesses when it comes to EQ
Pick an area or two of your life where you are struggling, and focus in on how your thoughts, feelings and actions are influencing the outcome
Work on several exercises designed to increase self-awareness and empathy
Gain a deeper understanding of how emotions are often culturally taught, and how you may be reacting to things from an automatic or learnt perspective, rather than tuning in to what your body or intuition is telling you
