We may even enter in that impenetrable dark night of the soul where all hope seems lost. But Jung urged us to look for the seed in the darkness that will come to fruition and light.\nWhat is broken into pieces can be re-membered and begun anew like the initiate who emerges as a powerful shaman. It is possible\, through the process of descent to reconnect with the sacred earth\, to restore our souls to their rightful wholeness\, both individually and as a culture.\nBy re-membering our roots in the sacred\, by re- establishing right relations with nature and the imaginal\, we renew our trust in the power of soul to help us find our way home. – Bonnie Bright\nFacilitators:\nPhoenix Arrien is passionate about supporting people’s journeys towards healing and transformation.

A safe place to face that which scares you most and embrace that which empowers you and allows you to reconnect with your best self; one that you may have even forgotten. I feel so blessed that your paths have intertwined and will keep these magical souls in my heart and in my life.” – Anthea Merson \n“Many years and lives healed with love and gentle guidance. I am blessed to have found this work. This will be the beginning of the rest of my life” – Shannon \n“After attending the Deep Changer retreat\, I thought ‘How will I get back to normal’ but I realise my life was not normal and that the retreat opened many new neural pathways\, my thinking is different\, my sense of being is different\, I am different and the changes continue. 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 [you both]. 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“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“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 \n \n \n‘A real experience! If you are seeking to open your soul and your heart…I am really thankful I put myself in this space for the week which opened up pains I had shut down in my body but also opened up the possibility to let go of them. I felt safe.’ Stephen Cooper \n‘I had little knowledge of what was in store for this retreat\, but it exceeded anything I could have expected and needed. A wonderful balance of connecting with nature\, connecting to self and most importantly being held so deeply in vulnerability. Thanks for offering such a powerful space for growth and nurturance.’ Ariana
