Crystal healing is a complementary practice that invites you to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and work intentionally with the natural energy and symbolism of crystals. In this introductory workshop, Wendy will share practical ways to use crystals at home, explore how they can support your personal wellbeing, and guide you through simple techniques you can continue long after the workshop.

With the support of an experienced practitioner who began her own journey through curiosity and personal exploration, you'll gain confidence in choosing, caring for and working with crystals in a way that feels meaningful to you. Whether you're simply curious or already drawn to crystals, this is a beautiful opportunity to begin your own practice.

📣 BOOKINGS CLOSE: Friday 7 August

ABOUT WENDY
For as long as she can remember, Wendy Booyens has been drawn to natural remedies. Seven years ago, that fascination turned towards crystals, starting with her first pieces of amazonite and black tourmaline. As her collection grew, so did the positive impact on her overall well-being. She qualified as a Crystal Healing Practitioner through the CAMS Institute in 2023 and continues to guide and support others through this gentle, complementary therapy.

“Taking a big stretch… and probably a big yawn too.” 🥱

It’s difficult to explain somatic movement with words because it’s such a felt experience, but here’s a glimpse…

Unlike movement that asks us to achieve something or look a certain way, 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 invites us to move 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠.

The guidance I offer creates a gentle container, but within that, each person finds their own shapes, rhythms and pauses. No two people ever move quite the same.

I think that’s part of why so many people describe it as healing. There’s agency here, alongside curiosity and compassion. And it’s all remarkably simple.

Somatic movement isn’t always quiet, though. It can help us settle, energize, or 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬. Rather than trying to stay calm all the time, we learn to move with greater ease between activation and rest.

That’s why this practice has become such an important part of my life. 𝙄𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙥𝙚𝙙 𝙢𝙚 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙖 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣.

I’ll share more snippets over the coming weeks. My hope is simply to make this kind of movement feel a little more familiar.

Somatic movement is mindful, exploratory movement that invites you to sense and move from the inside out - rather than aiming for a particular shape or external form - with attention on 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠.

In this practice, we listen for the body’s cues - noticing tension, ease, breath, or where we want to move next. Movements may include rocking, pulsing, spiralling, shaking, or simply sensing into a joint or muscle group to allow it to unwind. We’ll finish up with 10 minutes of somatic free dance.

𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫:
💚 Accessing greater freedom in the body, especially if your usual movement, sport, or exercise is very structured or intense.
💚 Tending to pain, stress, trauma, or fatigue by reconnecting with the body’s innate intelligence.
💚 Shifting out of feeling “tired but wired” and creating the conditions for deep rest.

No experience required.
