The Soulful Sunrise Workshop Series
Hey there brave one,
Yes you. The strong one.
The one who your mates turn to for a positive pep talk.
The wise one.
Have you lost your spark somewhere along the way?
Life has broken your spirit a little or maybe a lot, but you’re ok, you’re getting along fine.
People know you as the optimist, but your soul is a little tired, your heart a little heavy and your cheeky, light hearted nature takes a little more effort to show itself these days.
To be honest, do you feel a bit dead inside?
Whatever life has thrown at you has made you more resilient and courageous than you can ever imagine, and yet you still feel the need to do more, be more and prove to the world that you’ve got your shit together.
You don’t always take the conventional route in life do you? You believe that life is a gift, and despite all the pain, you still see the world as a wonderful place and your inner child is busting to get out there and play.
So what’s stopping you?......
Maybe its guilt, you don’t believe that you deserve to be truly happy and enjoy yourself. Fun and play is the reward after the hard work is done, right?. You’ve forgotten what brings you joy, what lights up your soul. You’ve gone along with things that you ‘should’ do in life and stopped asking yourself ‘what do I really want to do?’. You fear that if you did what you wanted, others might freak out and not like it, and what would happen then?.......
I know. I get it. I have been there many times myself.
A few years ago, my brother and sister died. After many years of battling with themselves and addiction to alcohol they died of deep unhappiness. (I know, this is pretty heavy shit, but I promise it gets better….). After this, I had to learn to accept my life and allow myself to live it and be truly happy. You see, I believe that to experience joy, we have to accept and embrace all of our experiences, all of our emotions, the good, the bad and the super ugly. Life is full of light and shade – that’s what makes us human, and experiencing the darkness has taught me to fall in love with the light even more.
The things I have learned over the years have helped me heal – like celebrating the good stuff, learning to be kinder to myself and treat myself like one of my best mates, doing things that bring me joy instead of being ‘busy’ all the time. I’ve also gained a shit load of perspective and learned to effort less, not try so hard and stop being ‘busy’ all the time, which is pretty radical these days.
I want this for you. I want you to celebrate yourself and your life. I want you to be your own best friend. I want you to give yourself permission to play, have fun, enjoy life and not feel guilty about it. I want you to effort less and be more you. I want you to simplify things. I want you to know that your pain can live alongside your joy. I want you to consciously make choices, disrupt your routines and live life on your own terms. I want you to feel alive!
So here we are. If you’ve read this far - great! Here is how I’d like to help you…….
Soulful Sunrise is a collection of experiences that bring people to life. I’ve pulled together all of my learnings from life, my professional experience of working in addiction, education, health and wellbeing and infused it with my love for music, good conversation and feel good vibes.
This autumn, I am super excited to be bringing the spirit, principles and teachings of Soulful Sunrise into a series of workshops so that you can apply all the magic in your own life too. These workshops will give you the time and space to tap into that big part of you that’s been asleep for a while, and the tools to access that part anytime you need it.
How the Soulful Sunrise Series works….
4 personal online workshops where we will be delving into themes and ideas that will wake up your soul. The workshops can be taken individually or as a package of 4.
You will leave feeling more yourself, full of hope and possibility and have that cheeky spark back in your life. When you’re like this, you are a rockstar! And people want to be around rockstars – your partner, your mates, your kids, your colleagues, they want your rockstar energy too.
‘How to be your own best friend’
The most important relationship we will ever have is with ourselves, so we best make it a good one. This one is an inside job I’m afraid. It’s not enough to practice ‘self-care’ without actually liking yourself – it’s like begrudgingly buying a Christmas present for your great aunt that you can’t stand. So in this one, we will be turning down the volume on the ‘inner critic’ and cranking up the tunes on our ‘big love’ voice.
‘Celebrating ourselves, even when life is a bit sh*t’
Awareness of where we are and what we already have in our lives and being super grateful for it is the first step to waking up. This is not about positive thinking and painting a rosy picture, but learning to embrace all our experiences so that we can give our minds a dose of perspective and appreciate ourselves and our lives. Oh and I will be sending you on a secret mission too……….
‘Putting play BEFORE work’
This is your chance to hang out with your inner child. Where have you got all heavy and serious about stuff? Where are you denying yourself joy? This is a big fat permission slip to go and enjoy the hell out of life. No more postponing happiness until the weekend or the next holiday. We will be delving into the ‘play deficit’ – yes it is a very serious illness and one we must treat right away if we are to survive on this crazy, wonderful planet. Seriously though – there will be no forced fun or role play, but a chance for you to tap into your own joy.
‘Making friends with anxiety’
This word creeps in to most conversations these days, but what exactly is it? Does it have any purpose? And what if we could see it from a new perspective - rather than fighting it, making friends with it! This workshop will help you understand your own anxiety and how you can access that peaceful place inside of you. No fighting, no getting rid of anything, just accessing the power that is already in you.
What’s included….
A warm, relaxed vibe to help you explore the big stuff in a fun, light hearted way. (you can do this from the comfort of your own home in your PJ’s)
Tools, ideas and wisdom that will allow you to access your inner joy, peace, naughtiness, whatever has been missing from your soul lately.
A guided meditation to replay, so that you can come back to yourself at any time.
Teaching from my 20 years professional and personal experience of working with all kinds of humans who have lost their way, and are aching to feel more alive again.
These workshops will leave you feeling hopeful, energised, uplifted and like you’ve got to know yourself again. Which means being in a better place to deal with whatever life brings your way. Remember - when you’re like this, you are a rockstar! And people want to be around rockstars ;)
