What does it mean, do we feel silenced - which is a
common shared historical experience of women - or

do we find meaning in silence, can we even find

power in silence.

was run with our colleague and friend Savannah.
In Processwork we see body symptoms as something
that ‘happens to us’, something we do not intend for,
and therefore when unfolded symptoms can connect
us to deeper aspects of our overall process. It creates
a very intimate atmosphere and deep connections
within the group to look at how body symptoms are
often not just an individual, but a collective
experience.

breaking down structural

We had an opportunity to explore power in a different
context. We delivered a training for future teachers on
structural discrimination. How to recognize it, how to

conversations could happen and how appreciative the PARTICIPANT
students were of the opportunity to share and ask
questions in a safe, non judgmental environment.
We are looking forward to having more of these
conversations.

couples, groups - in private practice.

dreaming the future

Series of facilitated conversations run by Eva and her
colleague.
How can we bring to life what we are dreaming about? How
can we dream about the future when the present is so full of
pain accumulated from the past? And yet, we come together,
sit around the virtual fire and design what steps can we take
towards the future we want to see.

 what's up

As nature prepares and readies itself for

its winter hibernation, we thought we
would support ourselves and nature to
prepare for winter too.

Skydiving into our true selves

Do you ever wonder - is this what my life

is supposed to be? How do I want it to
be? Am I true to myself?
After a busy year we are both feeling its
toll, the need to slow down, connect to
ourselves, to nature, calm down the inner
voices who always just push us to do
more...

This series allows us to journey together,

finding our lesser known wishes and
ideas. We will use Processwork
techniques to discover our high dreams
and live our lives from here.

4 meetings - a circle
20 Nov, 11 Dec, 29 Jan 2022, 5 Mar

Meetings will follow from each other; you

can come to all or take them as stand
alone.

Thanks for reading.

Feel free to forward our newsletter to your networks who might be interested.
Looking forward to further adventures and journeys together.

Warmly,
Carol and Eva
