Self Led Magic
16 January, 20 February, 20 March
Free Exploration Sessions Via Zoom Link
A project I am engaged with, alongside colleague Annzella Gregg, in which we bring a sense of curiosity towards the magical. What happens when we dwell in a place of listening to body and open to what is being communicated from our inner world, nature, and the other-than-human realms. Exploring our human legacy of fascination with magic and magical practices and touching on scientific discoveries. What emerges phenomenologically, when we engage in experiential practices and sharing around this topic.
Please note: there are currently no more full workshop dates scheduled.

Self Led Magic invites a space for sensitive exploration of these rich aspects of being human. The term ‘Self-Led’, coined by Richard Schwartz who developed IFS, describes what happens when we access our innate wisdom and curiosity.
Self Led Magic workshops embrace awareness of the IFS model, somatic approaches, animistic and spiritual practices. You are invited into a journey of exploration, connection and creativity around different topics. With an openness to the mysterious and the transpersonal, we invite space for what is meaningful, magical and calling to you.
In these short workshops we hope to awaken a sense of this curiosity towards the mystery and magic that is everywhere. We will be offering practices based on the IFS model, somatic awareness and movement, animistic traditions, creativity, and attuned relationship.
We will be encouraging the use of creative journalling during the workshop and as a potential tool for continued reflections on your own personal magical journey.
At this time in history, in a world in need of wisdom, imagination and compassion, we would love for you to join us if this is something that speaks to you. We are offering three online workshops. You are welcome to come to one, or all of these as each will have a different focus based on the questions posed above.
We are also offering free monthly exploration sessions…

These free sessions offer an exploration into Self Led Magic and a space in which to awaken curiosity and creativity. The aim is to be open to imagination and the senses; invite companionship with one another; and enquire into what is meaningful, alive and magical for each of us.
With an awareness of the IFS model, somatic approaches, relational attunement, and animistic and other spiritual practices, we will be offering meditations, short experiential exercises and opportunities to share and to warmly witness each other.
No need to book your place, just come along.
An awareness of the basics of the IFS model (Internal Family Systems therapy) is recommended and a capacity to be present with others.
All workshops are experiential and invitational. You have responsibility for your own well-being. Consider whether what we are offering is suitable for you, recognising you always have a choice to say ‘no’. Due to the nature of the sessions we, unfortunately, don’t have the capacity to offer extended support.
