Through deep listening and energy balancing practices\, you’ll begin releasing what no longer serves you. \nConnect to Yourself with Compassion \nInstead of fighting yourself\, disconnecting\, or pushing through\, you’ll learn how to build trust and a relationship with your inner world. \nCreate More Presence and Ease \nWhen we live in survival mode\, life can feel frantic and disconnected. These practices help you return to the present moment with more grounding and balance. \nReconnect with Your Vision \nAs emotional overwhelm begins to settle\, many people reconnect with dreams\, creativity\, purpose\, and possibilities they thought were out of reach. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n I am Ready To Create Ease!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Why This Work Is Different \nMany people try to think their way out of emotional overwhelm. \nBut if your nervous system still feels unsafe\, your body will continue reacting as though survival is the priority. \nFight\, flight\, freeze\, and fawn responses are not personal failures. They are protective patterns. \nThis work helps create the conditions for those patterns to soften. \nInside the workshop\, you’ll learn practices that help your body experience: \n\nSafety\nGrounding\nEmotional release\nConnection\nPresence\nRegulation\nAlignment\n\nThis is why the work goes deeper than simply talking about your emotions. \nYou are learning how to work with your body instead of against it. \nThis Is Not Just Information\nThis is a lived\, guided experience.\nYou will actively practice:\n\nNervous system regulation\nEnergy balancing techniques\nEmotional release practices\nBody listening\nPresence and grounding tools\nAlignment practices connected to your vision\n\nYou’ll leave with:\n\nPractical tools to calm your body and emotions\nA deeper understanding of your emotional patterns\nGreater trust in yourself and your intuition\nMore inner peace and clarity\nPractices you can continue using long after the workshop ends\n\nYou’ll also receive: \n\nGuided group practice sessions\nLive demonstrations\nA supportive healing circle experience\nTake-home resources with practices and tools\n\n \n I am Ready To Create Ease!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n   \n  \nWho This Is For?\nThis workshop may be a fit for you if: \n\nYou feel emotionally overwhelmed\, exhausted\, numb\, or stuck\nYou are constantly caring for others while neglecting yourself\nYou struggle with stress\, anxiety\, emotional intensity\, or nervous system activation\nYou feel disconnected from yourself or your vision for your life\nYou’ve tried mindset work or therapy\, but still feel emotionally activated in your body\nYou are ready for deeper emotional and energetic support\nYou want more peace\, presence\, and connection in your life\n\nThis space is especially welcoming to women and non-binary folks navigating the impacts of trauma\, oppression\, chronic stress\, burnout\, and emotional survival patterns. \nThis Is NOT For You If…\n\nYou want a quick fix without doing inner work\nYou are unwilling to explore your emotional patterns with honesty and compassion\nYou want someone else to tell you who you are instead of reconnecting to your own truth\nYou are looking for passive information rather than active transformation\n\n \n I am Ready To Create Ease!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Testimonials: \n“Before this\, I was unaware that my pain and illnesses were stored trauma. After this\, I felt connected with myself and understood what was happening within me; my body and mind were more relaxed. Within the 3-day training\, I gained trust in myself\, my body and emotions\, and it keeps growing every day.” -Dawn \n“Within the first week of the training\, I felt a lot more understanding and caring for the hurt part of me\, and I am trying to listen\, not ignore it\, like I did before. This is helping me to create the art I have always wanted to make.” -Myra \n“Everything has changed. I use the tools daily and will always make the choice to connect with a circle to support my healing. I feel that everyone who is ready to elevate and go further in their life and purpose should check out this work… Because\, I promise you\, you will experience the change\, shift and release you need.” -Micah \n“I had been feeling quite defeated at work and in my personal life. I was very low and finding it hard to imagine change. I’m calmer\, more able to make decisions\, less resistant to change and more confident. I’m physically more relaxed\, and things that were stuck in my relationships and work life have changed. I feel more emotionally clear and empowered.” -Cecilia \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Frequently Asked Questions \nWhat if I don’t have experience with energy work or therapy? \nThat’s completely okay. You do not need prior experience. This workshop is designed to meet you where you are. \nWhat if I’ve already tried similar healing work before? \nMany people come into this work after trying therapy\, mindset work\, meditation\, or other healing practices. The combination of circle work\, nervous system support\, emotional release\, and Embody Freedom Practice often creates a different level of transformation. \nWill I receive tools I can continue using afterward? \nYes. You’ll leave with practical tools and practices you can continue integrating into daily life. \nIs this a replacement for therapy or medication? \nNo. This work is designed to complement your existing mental health support\, not replace professional medical care or medication. \nHow long is the workshop? \nThis is a live online workshop held over three days for a total of 12 hours. \nYour Next Step \nIf you are ready to stop feeling ruled by emotional overwhelm… \nIf you are ready to create more peace\, connection\, and ease within yourself… \nIf you are ready to reconnect with the life and vision waiting underneath survival mode… \nJoin us inside Ease Over Effort. \nInvestment: $500 USD\nThere are also lower-cost spots (20% off) for BIPOC (reparations).Use the code: bipoc20. \n \n \n \n \n \n TICKET NOTE: You need to use the plus button to choose how many tickets you want.

Offered now due to the racism and fascism increasing internationally.\n \n \n \n \n \n Starting 12th May\, 2026\n \n \n \n \n \n Times: 6pm – 8pm UK time.Dates: Tuesdays from 12th January\, once-a-month meetings\, with learning group meetings in between. \nTICKETS ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE. \n \n \n \n \n \n This is a chance to understand better the part we each play in Racism and Systemic Oppression and unlearn how we support the dynamics of privilege we are given in society: \n \n \n \n \n \n Exploring Race\, Privilege\, Shame\, and Power \nThis group is an opportunity to look closely at the roles we each play in racism and systemic oppression—and to unlearn the subtle ways we uphold privilege and dominance in our professional and personal lives. \n\nMonthly Anti-Racism Learning Group\nLimited to 12 participants\nSix-month commitment\n\nMonthly full-group meetings\, plus smaller peer groups for deeper reflection\, accountability\, and continued learning between sessions. \nAs therapists and counsellors\, we don’t always see how white supremacy and systems of oppression shape our perspectives and practices. Yet\, as the saying goes\, it is the air we breathe.Drawing on insights from thinkers like Dr Martin Luther King Jr.\, we recognise that silence sustains harm as powerfully as overt actions. This group invites us to turn toward the discomfort of that truth—with curiosity\, compassion\, and courage. \nOver six sessions\, we’ll co-create a challenging\, non-judgmental container to explore how white supremacy lives within us—through our thoughts\, emotions\, identities\, and relationships to rank\, privilege\, and power. The work will be uncomfortable\, and it will also be grounding and transformational. \nWe’ll learn somatic tools and body-based practices that help regulate and resource our nervous systems\, so we can stay engaged rather than shut down when confronted with shame\, guilt\, or fear. Our intention is to transform shame into responsibility and action—so that reflection naturally leads to change. \nThis is ongoing\, collective work. Every person in this circle\, including facilitators\, is engaged in the same lifelong process of unlearning. It is an inner journey of becoming more whole and more capable of showing up with integrity across difference. While the process can be painful\, it is also profoundly liberating. You will likely find new depth in your relationship to yourself\, your clients\, and your community.We ask participants to commit fully to all six sessions\, as the learning builds cumulatively and depends upon collective presence. \nWe hope you’ll join us for this transformative exploration—a space to reconnect to your humanity and your capacity to disrupt racism with clarity\, care\, and confidence. \n\nWe don’t always see how we are part of white supremacy and the system of oppression. Yet\, it is the air we breathe. As Martin Luther King said\, “In the end\, we will remember not the words of our enemies\, but the silence of our friends.”\nThroughout the six sessions\, we aim to create a safe\, non-judgmental space in which we can unlearn white supremacy within ourselves. We will achieve this by addressing our thoughts\, emotions\, and identities regarding rank\, privilege\, and power. It will be uncomfortable.\nWe will also learn ways to calm the body. This is so that as we step into this work\, we feel better resourced. There is a lot of shame around racism. We mean to remove the shame so that people stay in action. This is an inner journey; everyone in this circle is part of that learning. None of us is complete\, even if we are facilitating. Addressing our racism is a lifelong journey. While it is painful\, it is also magical. You will reach places in yourself and connect with others in a whole new way.

There are complex relational dynamics within my family (some of which have been affected by racial differences) and I believe this course has enabled me to hold those challenging relationships a little more gently and with greater compassion for all involved.” \n Ruby Sterling\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Your Facilitator\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Sandro Voi\n \n \n \n \n \n I am originally from Italy\, where I first witnessed racism\, segregation and double discrimination. Since then\, I have been motivated to question and challenge racism and oppression in my work as psychologist as well as my private life. \nRacism killed and continues killing People from the Global Majority. At the meantime\, some of us white folks have the privilege to look away. This extreme situation is hard to bear. So\, we often distract\, detach\, disengage. Hence\, why I believe it’s important to work in a group\, through somatic practices and reflection.  In coming together\, we can shoulder each other up\, to then take action. Alongside this\, embodied approaches help us to move out of freeze and reconnect with ourselves and others. \nI join this circle with humility and a commitment to collective liberation. I believe healing from racism is not meant to happen in isolation. What strengthens one of us strengthens all of us. My intention is to help hold a space where people can be witnessed\, resourced and empowered—so that we can keep showing up for ourselves\, for each other\, and for the wider work of justice. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lou Lachman\n \n \n \n \n \n Having grown up in marginalised communities and having friends and family who are Black and Brown\, I have vicariously experienced some of the violence of racism. Knowing the depth of destruction that racism creates motivates my work. \nFifteen years ago\, when I lived in Bristol (UK)\, I approached Nilaari—the only Black counselling organisation in the city—and asked if I could collaborate with them on a project addressing trauma resulting from racism. They agreed\, and we began a 6-month journey\, using circle\, embodiment and energy practice to release trauma.  \nSimilar to this offering\, the group went for six months and had six sessions. The group was incredibly healing. Six Caribbean elders attended. I felt very much amongst masters who had endured incredible suffering and lived to tell about it. The stories shared in that space were healing in and of themselves. Being shared in a safe circle made a big difference\, as did the tools we used. \nFor Looking At My Part\, I am grateful I had a co-facilitator\, Nikki Lucas. We facilitated this circle together for 6 years. They are experienced in facilitating spaces to address racism and continue to run workshops in the community and at their workplace in Aotearoa (New Zealand).  \nToday\, in 2026\, I am grateful to be working with Dr Sandro Voi\, who brings enthusiasm and sensitivity to this work. Thank you\, Sandro\, for agreeing to facilitate this space with me. \nWe hold our circles in the truth that the liberation of all people is connected. We offer this work as something we are familiar with and something we continue to learn about. Racism is insidious and pervasive. We are all racist\, and only by working on it can we become able to address it. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n TICKET NOTE: You need to use the plus button to say how many tickets you want.
