"Nothing in the body is random -
each contraction opens a doorway
from frozen protection
into a deeper connection.” ~ Judith

Hi everyone,
I am happy to announce that Chris has invited me to return to the School of Embodiment (Healthnuts) to hold a presence and somatic inquiry workshop in Stroud on:

Sunday, 17th May from 1:00 - 4:15 pm.

This workshop explores awakening as a lived, embodied experience - not a destination to attain, but a deepening intimacy with our feelings, our bodies, this moment, and one another. A sense of homecoming emerges as we learn to stay close to experience, meeting each moment fully -feeling everything without losing connection.

In response to trauma, we often develop not only pain or memory, but a protective and intelligent mechanism that keeps certain emotions out of awareness. The ongoing driver of suffering is not trauma itself, but emotional repression. When feelings are suppressed, they don’t disappear - they go underground. They surface instead as tension in the body, sudden triggers, compulsive thinking, or a lingering sense that something remains unresolved. Over time, these patterns can contribute to an experience of separation and dissatisfaction.

While a shift into awareness was deeply transformative for me and resolved much of my emotional suffering, certain patterns persisted. Something remained just out of reach - like a missing piece that hadn’t yet been accessed. I came to see these patterns were held deeply within my body.

After exploring many healing modalities, it was through somatic emotional repression inquiry that I was able to resolve long -standing patterns such as people-pleasing, difficulty saying “no,” and avoidance in intimate relationships. As a child, I learned to hold back anger to stay safe and receive love and approval. The tension in my body was the imprint of that frozen fear.

In this workshop, we will work directly with the body - reconnecting with sensation, emotion, need, desire, and creative impulse. As expression returns, trust in the body deepens, and a more natural relational freedom begins to unfold. We use presence, guided somatic meditation, and emotional inquiry to meet conditioned patterns with curiosity and kindness, allowing tension, numbness, and contraction to soften gradually.

As these patterns ease, something essential shifts: we become
more available to life - more able to feel, express, and respond authentically. Rooted, flowing, and in contact with the intelligence moving through us.

You’ll be invited to:
• Rest in being and explore nondual awareness
• Understand how emotional repression shapes experience
• Learn somatic tools to meet conditioned patterns
• Build capacity to stay with inner experience
• Gently access and unwind deeper emotional material

This is not about fixing yourself.

It’s about becoming more available to life - to feel, to express, and to trust what is already moving within you.
The workshop offers practical somatic inquiry tools to begin working with emotional repression in the body.
Deeper layers of conditioning may require more advanced tools and a sustained container over time.

Date: Sunday, 17th May 2025, 1:00 - 4:15pm
Location: Stroud, 26 Kendrick St, Stroud GL5 1AQ, UK
Cost: £30/£22 (concession)

Revealing Presence -
Embodied Awakening & Somatic Inquiry with Judith

“Our body is moved by an intelligent, decentralised network. Through somatic inquiry, we inhabit this inner web.
With time, the body falls into its own natural rhythm.” ~ Judith

Hi everyone,

I am happy to announce that Chris has invited me to return to the School of Embodiment (Healthnuts) to hold a presence and somatic inquiry circle in Stroud on :

Sunday, 25th January from 1:00 - 4:00 pm.

Over the last year, I have felt called to read books on trees, mosses, fungi, octopus intelligence, evolutionary biology, neuroscience and philosophy. Following curiosity rather than a plan, each book reshaped my inner landscape and became part of my ongoing inner somatic inquiry. Again and again, my world view was overturned, leaving me in a delicious free fall into not knowing, into the body and into greater flow.

It has become clear that there is no central controller, no stable or permanent “I”. Even the subtle identification with being awareness has softened. I sense that the body is living this life, that countless pathways are interacting, awareness included. Being here is being this living organism—grounded, awake, and alive. There is no arrival. Ecosystems do not arrive. Evolution does not arrive. Life moves. Water flows. Bodies respond. Sensations pulse. Emotions surge. Thoughts pass. And this, too, is moving.
I warmly invite you to explore with me what it means to be human, relational, and alive.

Together, we will rest in silence, explore a guided somatic meditation, and engage in gentle awareness and body-based inquiry. Body-based inquiry invites us to meet layers of conditioning held within the body with kindness and curiosity. Through this gentle unfolding, a deeper ground of presence, connection, and aliveness can reveal itself.

„Awakening is not a final state. It is a movement.“

Everyone is welcome.

🌸

I am looking forward to exploring with you.

Revealing Presence - Embodied Awakening with Judith

"Our body (child within) needs to tell its story and express itself in its own way. This liberates our body to let us live our awakening." ~ Judith

💜

Hi everyone,

After a long break from group meetings, I am happy to announce that Chris has invited me to hold a presence circle at HealthNuts in Stroud on :

Sunday, 11th May from 6:00 - 8:00 pm.

We will be resting in Silence, exploring a guided meditation and practicing some gentle awareness and body-based inquiry. Body-based inquiry encourages us to gently meet layers of conditioning held within our bodies. This gentle unfolding allows to reveal a deeper ground of presence and connection inside. This circle will include some gentle inquiry. Deeper trauma work and 3D emotional repression inquiry will be reserved for 1-1 work only as this needs a stronger container and ongoing support.

Everyone is welcome.

I have taken a break from group work to give myself time to go more deeply to the root of my own trauma and complete further training in trauma work. I have completed IFS (Internal Family Systems) Training and have been in training with the 'Kiloby Emotional Repression Inquiries' for over 3 1/2 years now. As I am writing this, I am crying in gratitude. This is the only modality (and I have tried so many!) that has been able to transmute and dissolve very stuck and physically painful body contractions in my belly. I am still trying to find ways to describe my current experience. It feels like over the last three years, I have been growing a new body. My belly feels so light and spacious. I can breathe deeply now. I had no idea how much buried rage I had been carrying in that area. I feel such deep peace. Rage has brought me peace! I am immensely grateful to Dan and Scott who have developed these inquiries.

I am looking forward to exploring with you.

Soul Sanctuary in Thrupp, Stroud

I warmly invite you to join me for our final Soul Sanctuary - Somatic Inquiry Circle in Thrupp on:

Sunday 2nd July from 6:00 - 8:00 pm.

After this session, I will take a break from group offerings until September. I will continue offering 1-1 sessions throughout the summer apart from when I am away on holidays.

During a recent somatic inquiry, I explored my fear of expressing my power and rage. My system will let me feel my rage but won't easily let me express it towards other people. There are times when expressing anger would be a healthy response. However, this channel of expression is much less available within my system. The greatest fear held within my body is that my anger and rage will harm others and might even lead them to taking their own life. The threat of su***de is the greatest bind. The voice of the survival pattern says:

"I can't express my anger and rage. I have to protect them. I have to protect myself."

On the inner planes, several ancestors who have committed su***de formed a circle around me. When I asked them what they were here for, they responded: "We want you to show us how angry you are. We want your rage." I could feel their love beaming at me. My system was still holding back some rage but the voice of: 'I can't." was becoming more and more faint. Then they invited me again: "Holding back our emotions destroyed us. Not being able to fully feel and express all that we are caused us harm. We want your rage." Their second permission allowed me to melt through my repression barrier and the energy of rage and power started to pour out of my solar plexus. It truly feels like learning to healthily express my anger and rage is healing my family field and my own relational dynamics. Maybe anger can also be a powerful healer? Thank you for being part of this journey of embodied awakening.

I am looking forward to exploring with you.

Soul Sanctuary - The Flow of Your Essence
Day Retreat in Stroud on Sunday 18th June 10am - 5pm

"In the heart of our emotions, we can find the golden flow of our essence." ~ Judith

💜

Beloved friends,

I warmly invite you to join me for a day-long retreat in Thrupp on Sunday 18th June from 10:00 - 5:00 pm.

🌸

Over the last few weeks, I have been deepening my own inquiry into shame. My system doesn't want me to be fully seen and wants me to hide. It is not only a hiding from other people but a hiding of my shame, my anger, my hatred, my fear, my hurt and also my happiness and joy! My safety program is telling me that if I fully show myself, I will stand out. If I stand out, I will be a target. I will be attacked. I was bullied in school from when I was about ten years old. I reached puberty very early and felt ashamed of my 'womanly' shapes, my period, my spotty skin and my tallness. I did stand out! I looked a few years older than my classmates. I never cried. I never got angry. I never felt my shame. I pushed it all down and suffered quietly on my own until the repressed emotions caught up with me much later in life, showing up as background anxiety and giving me the occasional panic (shame) attack. The repressed emotions also created a hardened belly area. As I am slowly allowing myself to feel the hurt, the anger, the hatred and the shame that I had buried, I am also reconnecting with my golden essence, my natural sexual energy and life force. I had no idea that feeling my shame can also feel so very sensual and delicious! Thank you, shame for returning me to my natural flow.

I hope some of you will be able to join me for a day-long retreat where we can dive more deeply into the heart of our emotions so life can flow more freely through us.

Soul Sanctuary - Somatic Inquiry in Stroud

"We enter the wild river of our life force through the transmutation of frozen emotions." ~ Judith

💜

Beloved friends,

I warmly invite you to join me for our next Soul Sanctuary - Somatic Inquiry in:

Stroud, Thrupp on Sunday 4th June from 6:00 - 8:00 pm.

💜

My journey has always had a strong emphasis on embodiment and emotional healing due to having been so aware of intense emotional suffering (trauma) within my own system. This suffering fueled a restless search and led me on a spiritual path. I was looking for relief which I eventually found by noticing the wide open field of presence both within and around my body. Whilst this provided some deep peace and even bliss at times, some of my suffering continued as my body was still carrying unprocessed emotions and trauma. In order for my body to release some of the frozeness (core contractions), I needed so much more than simply resting in Being and witnessing what arises here. I had to and am still having to use somatic inquiry to support the transmutation of repressed and frozen emotions into freely flowing life force. The more I am able to gently enter these core contractions, hear the key messages and feel the feelings that are held there, the more space becomes available within my body for the Self to enter and lead this life.

I have been encountering deep layers of shame in one of my core body contractions over the last few days. As I felt into the energy, I heard it say: ‘I hate myself’. I allowed myself to slip into it, fully become (embody) it and speak on its behalf. Gosh, it had a lot to say! For the first time in months, this very stubborn body contraction opened and gave me access to so much more space in that area of my body. Here I am, ready to be seen with my new friend called Shame. I have been avoiding you most of my life. I am so very sorry.

Soul Sanctuary - Satsang Circle in Bristol
Sunday, 21st May 3-6pm

"Oppositional forces can only emerge together as one.
We are that which unites them." ~ Judith

💜

Beloved friends,

I warmly invite you to join me for Satsang in Bristol on Sunday 21st May from 3:00 - 6:00 pm. Vicki has offered her beautiful living room again. Deep gratitude to her.

🌸

After a month-long break from group work, I am pleased to be able to offer healing spaces for groups again. I have truly missed group work and I needed this time to complete further training in somatic trauma healing. The learning and deepening has been very rich and fruitful. I am feeling very inspired to be able to offer both Satsang (awakening work) in combination with deep somatic and emotional healing work. I have needed both equally to be able to express and embody all that I am more fully. The recognition of awareness has given me the resource to be able to explore my own trauma more deeply, whilst the meeting of any remaining trauma within my system has given me greater access to awareness. It has been and continues to be a very humbling dance.

I have also needed some time to explore my own anger repression more deeply. It has been both a very rewarding and at times immensely challenging journey! Underneath the buried anger, there were deep layers of frozen fear and grief. The core contraction within my solar plexus only started to soften and open when the oppositional forces (expression versus repression) started to befriend and find safety with each other. Very tenderly, they softened and flowed into each other, combining their energy and emerging together as one. This process is still unfolding...

I am looking forward to exploring and deepening with you.

The peace maker is finally falling apart in me. Thick and dense layers of ancient frozen fear and hatred are breaking up like tectonic plates inside of my body. The hatred is oozing out of my body as warm dark golden liquid. This is at times terrifying and also extremely blissful. There is so much space and lightness opening up in various parts of my body. My body wants its freedom and be returned to the Mother.

Soul Sanctuary - Satsang Circle in Thrupp

"Our life force is animated by luminous darkness.
She arises out of the Mother and is made up of the Mother.
She is my true safety and freedom." ~ Judith

Beloved friends,

I warmly invite you to join me for Satsang in Stroud on Mother's Day, Sunday 19th March from 6:00 - 8:00 pm.

From my continued exploration into the heart of body contraction, I am finding two main movements within it. One movement is toward safety and connection. This part wants to burrow itself deeply underground and return to the safety and holding of the earth, the womb, the Mother. It believes that it has to repress and withhold life force in order to stay connected to my caregivers.

The other movement is towards freedom. This part wants to push away and break through any restriction and limitation. It actually rejects the repression and conditioning passed down the generations! It is a big 'No' to that. Deep down this is also a movement towards safety as this part fears the repressive forces.

In supporting both movements equally and allowing myself to feel the fear and the anger within them, I am re-connecting with the essential nature of my life force, the energy of Mother, pure luminous darkness. Slowly and gently my body is cellularly experiencing my life force as both safety and freedom. Everything is made up of Ma!

I no longer have to cut off from the energy of Mother in order to connect with Mother. By connecting with my own life force, I am reconnecting with the safety and freedom of the ultimate Mother.

Happy Mother's Day!
