So the more I feel\, the more I experience the more l discover aspects of who I am becoming and all that from the retreat and time to be how ever I needed to be and profound healing being within a group and being held and supported by Phoenix and Mike. I still wonder how did you know what l needed. The unspoken\, Everything happened as required. There was no sense of time just being. My mantra continues ” It’s all good” words can’t express the experience as it is such a somatic Healing experience – Elizabeth Kinnane \n \n“As I think back on my time at the ‘Deep Changer’ Retreat\, there with 20 other people committed to their own healing and journey\, my eyes well with tears. I’ve never felt so alive so often as I did those three weeks. ⁣\nSometime in the second week\, we were invited to connect into our physical bodies\, our senses and environment. ⁣Under the Taurus full moon I stripped off my clothes and tied a bandana over my eyes. With a blanket draped through my elbows and Luke an as my spotter\, I made my way through the bush to a fire following the distant sound of a drum. ⁣ \n“I felt my feet firmly on the earth. I heard the crunch of branches and bush underneath me. I felt my way\, step by step\, breathe by breath\, drum beat by drum beat.⁣ There were times I felt like I couldn’t do it. Like it was taking too long and I couldn’t find my way. There were moments I felt fear rising from within. I felt frustrated\, panicked\, trusting\, connected and so many other emotions. ⁣ \n“It’s hard to put words to the experience and what it meant to me. The final moment when I reached the drum and the fire is indescribable but I’ll do my best. I felt a rush of relief\, inner fire and ecstasy. There was peace\, joy and passion. \n“Later\, after I’d spotted Luke on his journey through the bush\, I jumped in the Murray river naked and warmed my skin by the fire. I laughed with and hugged dear friends as they each arrived at the fire from their own journeys. ⁣I wasn’t worried about the past or planning the future that night. I simply was. Naked under the light of the moon with my bare feet on Mother Earth! \n“Do you know what it feels like to feel truly alive?” – Lotus Argyll \n \n‘How to articulate the gifts received from this intensive…deeply loving\, nurturing\, unravelling…and honest\, deep healing. Phoenix has held us so well…I feel overwhelming gratitude\, thank you!’ Saskia Post \n\n \nMorning meditation walk \n\n“Exceeded my expectations. Nurturing\, growth\, support\, love\, community\, fun\, deep support\, nature. Utterly professional\, caring\, knowledgable\, intuitive. Would recommend your special and deeply necessary work to anyone.” Rob Lamicela \n“This workshop…deep and expansive with Phoenix holding the space for each unique individual participant. There was a rich variety of processes and balance between being inside the workshop space and outside in nature. Very heartfelt and beautiful space to share and be!” Claire Lamicela
