Calling on five lovely humans to join me on the afternoon of Saturday June 10th for a half-day mini retreat where we'll explore how our attachment style influences the way we seek connection, reboot our nervous system with restorative yoga, and recondition our core wounds using attachment coaching tools, yoga nidra and energetic healing.

**Please note: this event utilises many of the same tools as the two-hour event, with more time for nervous system work and personalised coaching for those who choose to share**

***

Throughout the four-hour event we’ll uncover our primary and secondary attachment styles, before delving into individual core wounds – the layers of story we add to the experiences we have as adults.

The afternoon will end with yoga nidra – yogic sleep – and energy healing, moving us into our alpha and theta brainwave states so that we’re better able to recondition our relationship to our chosen core wound. Participants will receive a recording of the live yoga nidra after the event so that they can continue the reconditioning work at home.

Attachment Theory

Attachment theory - empirically supported by both medical doctors and researchers - derives from the concept that attachment is the primary driver of all our relationships, romantic or otherwise.

Although our attachment patterns typically form in childhood, all subsequent life experiences have the potential to transform or intensify attachment styles.

The four basic attachment styles are:

• Dismissive-Avoidant
• Fearful-Avoidant
• Anxious Attachment
• Secure Attachment

While insecure attachment styles (anxious, dismissive, fearful) aren't a sign that we are flawed or damaged, they often come with unhealthy habits and deeply-internalised negative beliefs.

Core Wounds

Core wounds are beliefs we acquire through conditioning. Ages 0-8 are our peak conditioning years due to our highly impressionable brainwave states.

Those with insecure attachment styles tend to have more core wounds, where the securely attached’s core wounds are typically less intense, less frequently activated, and situation specific.

The language of our core wounds is simple – ‘I am bad’, ‘I am alone’, ‘I am unsafe’, ‘I am unworthy’. This is because they were often formed before conscious, analytical thinking.

In adulthood, core wounds can present as an inability to regulate our emotions, including:

• Reactivity
• Emotional manipulation
• Controlling behaviour

Attachment coaching can help you to rewrite the stories you tell yourself, to recondition your core wounds.

Yoga Nidra

Yoga nidra, also known as yogic sleep, works with the energetic body to induce a state of deep rest. Although you’re awake, a profound stillness and calm takes over the body, and awareness turns inwards.

Yoga nidra influences brainwaves, enabling individuals to effortlessly transition from the waking beta state of conscious thought and logical thinking, to the alpha (between waking and dreaming; hypnagogic), theta (dreaming; sub-conscious), and delta (deep sleep; unconscious) states, all while the practitioner is awake and aware.

Energy Healing

Biodynamic energy healing pulls from biodynamic craniosacral therapy.

In the biodynamic energy approach, practitioner and patient work together to tap into the body’s healing intelligence. The practitioner scans your energetic field to discover blockages, cords and tears, then works with you to activate self-healing.

As we’re exposed to stress and trauma, our ability to manage distress, discomfort and disease can be compromised. Biodynamic energetics restores health and balance in the physical and energetic bodies, and may even delve into ancestral and past life conditioning.

Biodynamic energetic healing empowers you to better understand and heal your own body, become more grounded, set healthier boundaries, and release old stories.
