Testimonials from previous closed groups
A wonderful six-month dance floor wrapped in magic, held by gentle and powerful facilitation from Rachel.~ Closed group participant
Rachel offered us such generosity of heart and energy, with this embodied offering of creative explorations. As a facilitator myself I wanted to experience being held in a group rather than holding and through the course of the weekends I dropped quite naturally into this, as if by magic, and without having to push, persuade or ask anything of myself. This was my experience of the power of Rachel’s solid and gentle holding as well as the group trust in ourselves, each other, the land, and the process. I found my 3 year old who delighted in having others to play with as the various themes unfolded. The dance wrapped around and within the activities like a beautiful moving web. I felt met and respected. I have come away with so many insights to integrate. I want to do it all again!~ Closed group participant
I cannot express the levels of freedom, creativity and playfulness I experienced on this course. Rachel held us all so well I felt completely safe to drop into deep freedom.~ Closed group participant
