Befriending Me: A Spiral of Support

Beginning September 2025 – running until July 2026

an online programme

live and recorded

Befriending Me is a Spiral of gentle support and discovery. Rooted in community, it weaves together education, embodiment, yoga, meditation, and creative practice – all underpinned by neuroscience and the lens of Polyvagal Theory. Each step is accessible, holistic, and designed to meet you where you are, helping you move towards greater ease, resilience, and connection.

Do you live with persistent health challenges – fatigue, pain, stress, or overwhelm? Befriending Me offers a gentle, supportive community where you can reconnect with your body, mind, and spirit in manageable steps.

What Is Befriending Me?

Befriending Me is more than a course – it’s a living, breathing journey of support. Together we explore how body, mind, and spirit can come into greater balance through:

• Learning – clear, accessible teaching about the nervous system, resilience, and healing, grounded in neuroscience and the lens of Polyvagal Theory.
• Embodiment Exploration – simple, everyday practices that help you tune in to your body and its wisdom.
• Yoga & Movement – gentle, adaptable sequences you can do on a mat, in a chair, on the sofa, or even in bed.
• Meditation & Breathwork – guided practices to bring steadiness, calm, and clarity.
• Creative & Spiral Practices – journaling, reflection, and rituals that move with the rhythm of the Spiral itself.

This is a holistic and compassionate approach – accessible, flexible, and always offered in gentle steps. Each part of the Spiral is designed to meet you where you are, so you can take what feels supportive and leave the rest.

Above all, Befriending Me is rooted in community – a space of kindness, shared understanding, and encouragement, where we remember we don’t have to walk this journey alone.

This Spiral runs over eleven months, guiding you through six parts of the journey. Each part includes live sessions, practices, and resources that help you explore, rebuild, and flourish – always at your own pace.

The Six Parts of the Spiral

• Part One: Rest & Restore – beginning again with deep rest, ease, and gentleness
• Part Two: Nourish – tending to body, mind, and emotions with care
• Part Three: Reflect – listening inward, journaling, and finding clarity
• Part Four: Rebuild – gentle strength, movement, and creativity
• Part Five: Explore – opening to curiosity, play, and new possibilities
• Part Six: Connect – weaving together connection with self, others, nature, and spirit
