This is a snapshot of one of the 21 energetics we explored inside of SHED: 21 Days of Dance; a body of work that supports you in turning towards emotions and sensations that you might otherwise avoid or resist so you can learn to fully metabolise them in your body. Meaning, that you don't have to keep magnetizing challenging circumstances in your life to get you to pay attention to the unresolved energies in your body. This doesn't mean that you'll never experience another challenging emotion in your life. But next time it arises in your human experience, you meet it with far more capacity and an understanding how to alchemise it in your body. So you no longer need to collapse, disassociate or react. You let it open you instead ❤️ And in doing so, you meet more of your own soul ✨️ While the live journey for SHED:21 Days of Dance over the Lunar New year is now complete, the teachings inside the container are timeless. 👉 Comment SHED to purchase the Replay Vault with 12 months access to this invaluable somatic resource. It’s currently $47 AUD until THIS SUNDAY 29th March and then the price increases to $77 💃 #ecosomatics #somaticecology
Wow, these beings. Just taking a moment to welcome the doorway that’s opening with this circle of women. Hawthorn has worked some serious magic to call such a depth of wisdom to this space. What an honour it is to be sharing this gift with you. We are about to walk the second iteration of ‘Into the heart’ a journey with the Hawthorn plant as kin. The link is live in my bio for further info or you can slide through the details here. The full schedule for our journey will also be shared soon. For now it’s about tapping into your heart and sitting with the curiosity or tenderness that may be here when reading what it’s all about. There is so many layers to share over this next month before we begin so for now it’s checking in with how you feel this could tend to your heart. Perhaps first just asking yourself ‘heck what even is sitting on my heart’? ‘What is niggling here’? If you took a breathe and some space for even just one ‘matter of the heart’ what would that be ? Love, grief, courage, joy, boundaries, receiving, blood, ancestors, compassion, forgiveness… Please share if you’d like to voice it here ❤️ And lean into each of the energies of the women who are guiding this space for us. I cannot wait to welcome your heart here With tenderness and love Clare @anna__mccracken @kindred_womancraft @brittanyjanelaidlaw @mollie.vaughan @kinofthefiaindanu
Truly transformative somatic work is the unglamorous chop wood, carry water kind of practice that doesn’t get as much hype as people cathartically screaming on the internet. The kind of work that’s trending right now is basically like the 🌽 version of the real thing (but spell corn with a P). The intense rush of sensation that feels like something real is happening, the peak state, the big release. And yeah, it's hot, it's sexy and it’s very marketable 🔥 But it's also hollow and performative. Over time, it actually deepens dissociation in the body, and you become dependent on that level of intensity just to feel anything at all. In fact, you need more and more activation just to experience that release (hello, unconsciously inviting crisis into your life 🤪). Gourmet intimacy, on the other hand, requires you sloooooooooowing right down. It’s about becoming acutely aware of the subtle sensations occurring in your body and the micro-movements of energy beneath the surface. And if you’re used to the wam bam approach, this might seem boring or you may even feel numb. But the real work is in retraining your attention and rebuilding your sensitivity. It doesn’t happen overnight. But once you've tasted the real thing? Nothing else compares. It’s like greasey fast food compared to the most nourishing home cooked meal you’ve ever had 🍲 ✅️ Truly transformative somatic work is the same. And it’s what I’m here for 🙌 👉 Comment SHED to access the replay vault for 21 Days of Dance, a timeless somatic resource that offers a powerful introduction to this style of work. As one participant said: “Holy shit balls! Getting to where I did was like years worth of therapy in 50 mins" It’s currently $47 AUD until the 29th March and then the price increases to $77 🐍 👉 Or Comment INCARNATE to learn more about my new membership program where I teach weekly ecosomatic embodiment classes from embodying the full ecology of you + access to the full SHED library.

Seriously though 👇 There have been many times where I’ve been in a deep funk - holding a lot, spiralling mentally, overthinking & analysing myself, assuming something was wrong with me. ➡️ Yet in reality, there was nothing to solve. I just needed to move my body 💃 I needed to sweat 💧 Think about it like this: every human being on Earth is born with an innate desire to dance as babies. Babies aren't taught this. It’s wired in. Our instincts know how essential it is for emotional regulation, for soul embodiment, and for keeping energy circulating. But most of us received a lot of conditioning around dance so we stopped practicing & thus stopped circulating energy affectively. And in modern society especially, we tend to experience lots of energy (emotions, information, stimulation etc) without having practices to metabolise it through the body. So instead, we hold it. We make it OURS. Then we bury it down & we suppress sensation. Yet this eventually creates dissociation, fragementation, dis-ease, and that familiar feeling of being stuck, especially in the mind. Then we call it depression. Assume something is wrong with us. Or decide we’re broken. But often, that’s not actually the issue‼️ It's simple because the energy you've accumilated has nowhere to go. Sounds funny, but I liken to going for a 💩 It's needs to move babe! You're just constipated 😜 So if you feel DEpressed, its because you need to EXpress! This is a core reason why I created SHED: 21 Days of Dance 💃✨️🌀🕺🐍 SHED is an opportunity to consciously circulate & complete the energies of 2025 through dance so your body is genuinely clear & prepared for the new coming in 2026. You don't need more 'fixing' You need more dancing! Let's complete the year of the Snake well together 👌 ➡️ Comment SHED & I'll send you more info

I’ve received a number of kind messages after my 2025 story. I’m genuinely touched & grateful for people’s humanity. And I also want to say: I truly believe everything that has happened to me in my life is perfect. For a long time, I carried an internal story about being broken because life didn’t turn out the way my mind had hoped. Until I reached a point where I finally saw that it was all by design. Even if my limited mind couldn’t comprehend it fully. This doesn’t mean I bypassed the pain. I felt it hard on. Nor do I condone harmful behaviour. But if I have learned anything in life, it is this: Darkness is not the opposite of light. It is the means by which it is revealed. There is a consistent theme among the people I see deeply serving humanity in a meaningful way. They have all endured radical hardship. I can easily recognise when someone has navigated significant grief because they carry a level of depth & wisdom that cannot be faked. Grief gives you access to a plain of understanding that can’t be embodied any other way. I was once in a deep meditation where I noticed my desire to hate the darkness in this world, especially that which had ‘damaged’ me. Until I travelled to the heart of the darkness itself and it showed me that it was essential in activating my purpose in this lifetime. I simply would not be the person I am today without it. God/Source did not abandon me. She carved me for the mission. Had I not encountered adversity, I’d probably be one of the countless people I talk with who lack a deep sense of purpose in their life. Nor would I have the embodied skills & knowledge to fulfill it. I don’t mean purpose as in ‘what I’m here to do’. Purpose is an innate byproduct of feeling your soul incarnated & alive in your body. It’s not something you discover, it's what you remember you are. And as all the most ancient spiritual teachings & myths consistently reveal, the process of remembering who you are only occurs through conscious descent. Where the illusory self dies a little more each time, making space for the truth. And the gift of trauma is that it’s a swift ticket to entry. CONTINUED IN COMMENTS
There is a line in the new Avatar film 'Fire & Ash' where Neyriti has lost her son, her village & her precious belongings.... And she says "All I have left is my faith that this is the Great Mother's plan" I learnt the depth of this statement in 2025. It was the end of a multi-year decomposition process & I travelled deeper than I ever have before but I wouldn't change it for anything. It was all preparation. It was all the Great Mother's plan. It was a gift. And in the darkness, I met the true nature of my light. **** I also want to offer special gratitude to my teacher @perri_chase who held me through this gate. I have traversed the underworld many times before but having someone else hold the energetic space made all the difference this time. I was taken to my edge, but I got all the way through thanks to the presence of her field ✨️
It is not the darkness that breaks us, it is what forges us for our mission 🔥 And I have never been clearer about mine ⚡️ Think about it loves.... If Joan of Arc, Nelson Mandela, Maya Angelou, Victor Frankl, Frida Khalo, Martin Luther King Jr, Malala Yousafzai or Mahatma Ghandi never experienced trial and hardship.... Would we even know their names today? If you came here for a specific soul mission, then life will initiate you in the exact way necessary to hold it. And I am ready to hold mine ✨️ Comment LIST to join my email community with new programs and trainings landing very soon x #ecosomatics #somaticecology #phd #embodiedecology #mythosomatics
Much of modern ecological thinking still lives in the mind. But it’s not enough to understand interconnection—we need to feel it. We must move in ways that render this interconnectedness experientially tangible through conscious participation. This is where the work begins. Not in ideas, but in sensation. Not in concepts, but in contact. To reawaken our ecological belonging, we must do so through our most primary ecology = the body. Our most immediate and intimate place of relation with the living world 🌿 #ecosomatics #somaticecology #embodiedecology
