From Survive to Alive-A two-day immersive journey of psychological exploration, creative expression and transformation                           

7th & 8th November 2026

Many of us carry deeply embedded patterns of thought, belief and behaviour that were formed in response to experiences we could not fully process at the time. Over time, these patterns can become so familiar that we mistake them for who we are.

We adapt, we protect ourselves, we disconnect from parts of ourselves. We learn to function, achieve, cope and carry on: yet somewhere beneath the surface there may be a sense that we are existing rather than truly living. From Survive to Alive is an intensive process exploring these patterns and the inner divisions they create.

Through art, music and creative expression we enter the powerful metaphors of death and rebirth, allowing old patterns, identities and ways of being to fall away, creating space for something new to emerge.

Identity Oriented Trauma Training/Experiential Workshop

This workshop explores trauma through the lens of phenomenological enquiry and endeavour structures: A new process-based technique informed by the work of Franz Ruppert (IOPT), Bert Hellinger (Family Constellations) and Classic Gestalt expressive techniques.

Each participant will bring an intention to the workshop that they would like to explore in terms of what is blocking them from going towards their goals and desires. This intention will be worked through experientially with representatives from the group who will resonate with the parts that you wish to explore.

Date: To be confirmed

From Shame to Honour

An Experiential Personal Development Workshop

Shame resides in the core of our being and because of its hidden nature often gets overlooked within therapeutic processes. It is at the heart of most trauma, addiction and behavioural dysfunctions and requires deeper therapeutic examination in order to uncover and heal it.

For this examination this workshop will explore in depth the many facets that perpetuate shame. The work employs Gestalt techniques. Gestalt is primarily a creative, emotional process incorporating body processes, art, music, ritual and expression.

Dates: To be confirmed

Group ethos/purpose

We aim to provide a group environment which offers the opportunity to meet others at relational depth in a here-and-now oriented context, though exploring both personal and group process.

What we understand by process

  • Process and content are separate entities.
  • Content refers to what is spoken about explicitly, the words or expressions used to communicate.
  • Process is concerned with meaning. It is concerned with what the explicit words and expressions, the style of the individual and the nature of the discussion tell us about the interpersonal relationships between individuals.
  • Process essentially is concerned with the how and the why of communication as a gateway towards understanding individuals’ relating with others.

Here and now

  • By here and now, we mean that we explore process as it becomes live in the room between people and try to understand the meaning of our interactions and the impact of them on ourselves and on others
  • The goal is greater awareness which we can translate into our ordinary lives outside of group (group can be a practice ground where we can take risks and experiment with behaviours)…ultimately awareness can bring about change in our relationships.
