Exploring the Effect of Institutional Conditioning


  • New Sunnyside Farm, Laverton, Bath, England, BA2 7RA United Kingdom (map)

This workshop is an opportunity to explore the effect that school (Day and Boarding), Religious Communities, and other institutions have had on your life.

We’ll explore who you had to become to survive the environment, the people, the pressure, the trauma, the abandonment, the rules and routines, the indoctrinations and practices you were forced to accept as normal. We’ll explore how these survival strategies still inform and affect the way you live your life and then realise the potential in discovering your authentic self, free from the habit of institutional conditioning.

This experiential programme uses a combination of self-inquiry, stillness, meditation, movement, paired and group exercises. There may be tears, of course, but the light touch I bring will guarantee laughter too - and a rare space of warmth, safety, support and acceptance. So wherever you find yourself on this journey, you are so very welcome to join me.

I keep my groups small, because I’m deeply committed to giving everyone the time, attention and support they deserve. If you haven’t worked with me before, you’ll need to have had at least one session with me before I can offer you a place.

Financial Investment: Financial Investment: £170 which includes workshop, beverages and snacks.

Cancellation policy: Once committed, you can cancel up to four weeks prior to the workshop date, after this the full fee will be due even in the event of failure to attend.
