Inner Strength vs Outer Force

After many years of promising to offer such an event, here it is, an entire non-residential weekend dedicated to exploring Inner Strength vs Outer Force (AKA/Playfight Club). This workshop is an opportunity to explore the possibility of connecting to, relating with, and harnessing the potential to found in our inner strength, which, frequently cut off in childhood, can now often be expressed, both personally and culturally, as a toxic, threatening, unhelpful and non-relational display of outer Force.

Timings: 7-10pm Friday 10th &

10.30-6pm Saturday 11th & Sunday 12th May 2024

Connecting to our inner strength is essential for actualising our lives; for fully living our true direction, our creative potential, and our capacity to know clearly where our boundaries and responsibilities are. One route to reconnecting to our inner strength is to first explore our relationship to outer strength. And so, Playfight Club will support the freeing up of stuck energy and attention through Playfighting in a safely supported environment with clear rules and boundaries. Please note: this is not a free-for-all riot - we will work sensitively together to support each person in connecting with their current capacity - for some people just pushing their palms on another’s palm will be stimulating enough - for others their systems are longing for more robust physical expression. All capacities and expressions are welcome.

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 we 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 us.

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: £190 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.
