Find Your Joy! is for women ready to reconnect with themselves, open their hearts and explore what it means to live more authentically, presently and truthfully. For many of us, expressing what we truly feel has been difficult. We have learnt to hold things in, keep the peace, look after everyone else, silence our voices or become who we thought we needed to be.

This weekend is an opportunity to come back to YOU. To laugh. To cry. And yes, there will be tears — Mich has the tissues! Above everything, this is about connecting you to a heart-filled life and discovering the JOY already within you.

We are going deep — resonance and emotions are among Mich's specialities. We will explore the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of who we are, and how our nervous system, subconscious mind, past experiences, trauma and conditioning can influence the way we live today.

During the weekend you'll explore 💜

  • Breathwork, conscious breathing and heart connection — science vs energy
  • Nervous system awareness and regulation — tools to practice
  • Somatic practices and tuning into your body — this is where the magic happens
  • Intuition and trusting your inner knowing — ooh, let's see what (or who) shows up!
  • Behaviours, reactions and patterns — letting go
  • The subconscious mind, beliefs and conditioning — awareness of self
  • Intergenerational and ancestral patterns — awareness of energies
  • Conscious communication, voice, sound and speaking truthfully — energy in motion
  • Energy centres and connection to the Earth and higher self — yes!
  • Returning to the heart, body and present moment

Feelings are an important part of Mich's work. Rather than continually pushing emotions away, we begin to recognise them, allow them and understand what they may be showing us. Find Your Joy! is not about pretending everything is wonderful or pushing away grief, anger, fear or sadness. It is about allowing, feeling and letting go, while discovering that JOY can exist alongside the many emotions and experiences of being human. This is what Mich calls IN-powerment: learning to recognise, trust and live from the wisdom already within you.

Grieving is healing 🌿

Grief is an important part of this weekend and is not limited to the death of someone we love. We grieve relationships, childhood experiences, changes in our health and bodies, dreams, identities, friendships, homes, families, expectations and versions of ourselves. Grieving is healing, and grieving is part of Finding Your Joy!

We will return to the breath, body and heart through meditation, inner child connection, somatic practices, intuition, conscious communication, sharing and expression. There will also be a few surprises along the way as we discover just how much JOY is present in the room!
