Meet Lee, who leads empathy spaces at festivals…and the other person is me 😄😄

Having another Lee be the Empathy Angel for my Primal Play workshop at was a trippy pleasure 🌈

Such a sweet, welcoming community…and my first UK festival in 15 years!

This is mainly an ecstatic dance/contact improv festival, so it was wonderful to feel the yes to explore another form of authentic, vulnerable connection ✨

Thank you .dance.uk and team for the invitation!

It’s wild to me to be thinking beyond island life - and yet there’s so much exciting stuff ahead! Starting with 🦁 𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐌𝐀𝐋 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐘 𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐎𝐍 #𝟗 🦁 one week today!

I’m really looking forward to jumping back into connection with the like-hearted community of beings we’ve gathered - if you feel the call to join us, spots are available via the link in bio

𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐊𝐨𝐡 𝐏𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐧

Called 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐃, the idea was born out of the realisation that even with all the ta**ra and spiritual growth workshops that are available here, something big seems to be missing, at least right now, at least for us:

Spaces that allow people to share vulnerably

To listen with an open heart

And build empathic connections that extend beyond the limitations of the workshop end.

It has been beautiful to feel the offering resonate with people

with one unexpectedly fascinating outcome:

𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐞.

We’ve been so curious to understand why this is

Do women already have enough spaces to share themselves vulnerably?

Is there a protection that says such spaces are not safe?

Whatever the case, in the age of the manosphere, it’s deeply touching to witness these men step forward in their desire to share openly and caringly.

Meeting each other in truth and authenticity no matter which gender they find themselves in the company of.

I believe so strongly that this is the only healthy future for masculinity.

I am incredibly honoured and excited to share that this Saturday’s anniversary edition of Primal Play will be co-facilitated by the wonderful 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐊𝐡𝐚𝐧! ❤️‍🔥✨🐒

Haneen is a s*x & intimacy coach who helps people break the rules they’ve inherited around connection. Playful, heartfelt, and nerdy, she empowers clients to express their real desires, and embrace pleasure, conflict, and complex feelings as part of healthy relating. Her work blends improv, IFS, embodiment, consent, and communication tools — guiding (often driven, busy, productive) people out of their heads and into deeper, more truthful s*x and connection.

Our team will be rounded off by 𝐀𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐧 𝐉𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐲, whose passion for and sensitivity in space-holding allows people to feel truly supported in meeting themselves and each other more authentically.

Together with you we will co-create an evening to remember. Spots are limited, so claim yours if you wish to be part of it!

Honoured to have led the opening workshop for the Meditanzion 10 year anniversary this weekend! We discovered the depth and speed of connection that occurs when we meet each other in pure embodied presence, and how we can take this knowledge into our everyday lives as empathy activists ✨

These spaces are some of the most potent I'm lucky to be part of - back there this Sunday for Grief + Gratitude: Evening of Connection!

Happy New Year you beautiful humans!

However you spent the transition to 2025, I hope you were able to find some rest, knowing that the 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 invites us to call in 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞.

On the Winter Solstice - the longest night of the year - we came together in openhearted presence and dared to be met in the fullness of who we are.

We felt the truth of each moment, let go of what no longer served us, and claimed what we’re calling in for next year.

Backed by the incredible soundscapes of , who took us to exquisitely deep places through his art.

For me this edition was a leap of faith, a stretch.

✨ finding the seemingly perfect musician to co-facilitate this journey three days before the event - but with no time to confirm my intuition beforehand.

✨ Stretching the budget and organisation to accommodate

✨ Bringing in new practices, new combinations, and being ready to let them all go.

It was the smoothest edition ever.

Again backed by a dream team of Sophie Yates and , an easy rhythm formed that allowed so much spaciousness and joy as we held our guests and each other.

For me - I’m stepping ever deeper into the power and beauty of this work.�

Now it’s time for me to spend Christmas with family, and new years in community.

After a short break, we'll be back with 𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐌𝐀𝐋 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐘 𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐎𝐍 #𝟔 🦁 on January 18th, and in February I will bring a new format to London for the first time.

More soon ❤️‍🔥

In deep gratitude, joy and excitement.

London! Come spend the longest night in the warmest company ❤️‍🔥

𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭: 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬.

Those who say yes to showing up with all of themselves

Those who are willing to bravely, vulnerably allow themselves to be seen, and give the same gift to others.

Those who are ready to relate in a deeper, more authentic way than our society knows how to teach.

20 such people have claimed a spot to do exactly this in just a few days time.

We will come together to round of this year in the joy of being human - in the full spectrum of what that means.

There are 5 spots left. Last call - is one of them yours?

This weekend I co-facilitated a circle for 30 people as part of a long community weekend.

I was again reminded of just how powerful this tool is - how essential it is that we create spaces for ourselves and each other to show up and share what’s on our heart - making the full spectrum welcome.

I can't wait to do it again for this Sunday's Embodied Sharing Circle - A Half Day Journey ⭕

If, like me, you’re following current events in the US, and the world, this week it might be especially important to provide yourself such a space.

But even if you’re not, our fast-paced living rarely allows time to slow down and process all that we’re feeling.

So if you feel the desire to be held in connection, in community - to give yourself the gift of half a day to release and resource - you are so welcome to join us.

Having done this work in a group setting for a number of years, I will finally be launching this private offering on a new booking platform, and am filming a video to explain it.

If you're holding a lot at the moment, - whether grief, loneliness, anger, or something else - and are feeling alone with it, I would be happy to support you with 60-minutes of somatic resourcing in exchange for parts of the session being discretely filmed.

Maybe you're reeling from a breakup, have recently lost someone...or maybe you're just exhausted and need some supportive touch. Whatever you're in need of being met in, together we will use a combination of modalities to leave you feeling more grounded and connected to your inner strength.
