When we live and breathe in spaces of compassion, freedom and self-sovereignty, magic happens.

Held is for freedom. For feeling. For full expression. For safety, stability, support. For standing on your own and holding you up when you can’t. For agency. For accepting parts of us we hide away. For retreating when it’s needed, for expanding out when it’s safe. Held is for aligning with inner wisdom. For remembering enough-ness. For curiosity and connection.

Held is about reminding you the way you feel your life and the way your life feels, matters. If you are waking up in a life that just doesn’t feel good to you, a collection of choices you don’t feel fully a part of, you don’t have to work it all out on your own. Held seeks to meet the needs of our time amidst systems that are not built nor committed to the same.

Here you will find a range of collective threads woven together to honour all of these virtues – to hold you – and to hold whatever it is you need as you nurture an individual, integrated experience of living. The intention and ardent hope is that you find the place that holds you with fullness and stability, whether through one or more of the offerings. And if you can’t find what you need, let us know.

What might transform in our lives if we stopped following others’ rules and started writing and living by our own?

COCOON

As a vessel of transformation, of metamorphosis, a cocoon represents energies of enfolding and inwardness, as well as those of regeneration and burgeoning. The offerings within Cocoon are reflective of the same: retreats, events and immersives crafted for times of introspection and inspiration for growth and necessary change.
