In Deepening the Senses, we deepen our connection to the inner world and soul self. So often in our lives, due to difficult early childhood experiences, past limiting belief patterns, and intergenerational trauma, we can experience a disconnection from our authentic, embodied soul selves.

This disconnection often results in feelings of anxiety and sadness, feeling a lack of vitality, confidence, and self-worth. You may find yourself always putting others first, that you have trouble expressing your own needs, masking who you really are, what you really think and feel. You may experience feeling ‘stuck’ and frustrated or feel ‘numb’ and overwhelmed. You might feel a lack of purpose and meaning in life, that there is a sense of something missing.

These workshops will share knowledge, skills, and resources with you in an accessible and creative way, from the field of psychology and psychotherapy, as well as philosophy, literature, and art, to help expand your understanding of your inner world and how to resource yourself to begin to make changes that are in support of your growth and personal development.

In Deepening the Senses programs we become curious about connecting to the inner world of the soul, to what Jung called ‘the subtle body’, where it speaks to us in the language of metaphor, symbol, and images. These workshops draw on the ancient Celtic world, sharing Gaelic folklore, mythology, stories, and poetry.

When we listen to myths, we step into a timeless world, out of the rational concrete into the symbolic life. This is the world of metaphor and imagination. This softens our ability to be more receptive to our inner environment the energies of life and the archetypal patterns living through us. Here we can become curious about our intuition and sensations in our bodies, the images and feelings arising, and what might these images mean for our own individual lives. What are they pointing to on my journey?
