in these urgent times,

Build a sustainable relationship with your inner fire to be a force of change and kindness in the world,

without sacrificing yourself

 

Our inner fire: our passion, our tenacity, our deep-knowing that guides us

Feel familiar?

You do, do, do without fuelling yourself sufficiently, driven by external narratives and demands

Pushing and pushing without balance, until you fall over;

Cycles of burnout; OR

Dampening your inner fire, for fear of being ‘too much’, feeling a frustration from this;

You fear your own fire and the power of it, its potential;

A narrative of a binary choice: the world misses out on your incredible gifts, or you miss out

 
 

instead…

Lead and work from a place of passion, instead of productivity and extraction as sole drivers

Let go of the fear of ‘too much’ ness and step into your calling

Use somatic- and nature-based tools to nourish you as you bring your projects to fruition

Build a relationship with your inner fire that tends to the feminine and the masculine

Tune in, through guided practices, to the guidance of your inner fire

Create and work in a sustainable, balanced and joyful way



Feel energised and balanced

Live and work led by purpose, rather than ‘shoulds’

Expand and explore, within a connected way of being


 
 

This is for you if:

  • You’re heartfelt and passionate about your work and life. You want to be able to keep doing what you believe in, without exhausting or brutalising yourself in the process.

  • You’re a leader (your version of this), change-maker, or entrepreneur and you’re committed to doing things differently from the mainstream capitalist narrative

  • You have an incredible project, idea or resource that needs to be brought into the world: you know you want to stoke your inner fire so that the world can benefit from it.

  • You want to embrace your yang energy without doing it in an overtly- or hyper-masculine way

  • Your energy is rising and you want to work with it in a way that sustains rather than burns out

  • Cycles of power, creation and burn-out feel familiar

  • You want to explore through connection to your body and to the natural world

  • You need to create more space to replenish, reconnect, recharge, re-orientate

  • You have a specific project in mind, whether work or life, and want to bring it to fruition or you want to continue to build and grow in a more holistic and balanced way

  • You want to work in a way that engenders greater self-compassion and self-belief

  • You want your fire to ROAR in YOUR own way

Fire. The element of creation, of destruction, of potency.

Session 6 was incredibly powerful - the music immersion followed by writing prompts - this was revelatory and the prompts are definitely something I will be returning to.

Rowena has the ability to listen and reflect in a profound and succinct way, that even my mad ramblings make sense! She has an incredible scope of skills, which means that she can go to the heart of the issue with compassion and insight. Rowena is an absolute gem and full of sparkle.

FAQs

Will this programme make me more productive?

Productivity won’t be our focus: instead, you’ll find you’re more creative and sustained in areas that feels important to you, including those that have probably been sidelined until now.

Neither will we provide you with the one ‘correct’ way to engage with your fire - instead we’ll enquire together, learn from each other.

We’ll work with our nervous systems, including a session where we do this explicitly. You won’t be asked to move out of your window of tolerance - yes, we’ll stretch, explore and be in the unfamiliar and perhaps uncomfortable at times, but you’re in charge of your experience

Will everyone in the group be doing the same kind of work or come from the same background?

No, because this isn’t about what you do, it’s about how you do it: it’s about your relationship with yourself and with the world around you.

I’m neurodivergent, will this programme work for me?

While not designed specifically for neurodivergents, the programme is designed in a way to be neurodivergence-aware and -supportive, especially for women with ADHD. Neurodivergent people are creative and innovative and I feel excited and privileged that I get to support the people I work with in bringing amazing projects to fruition.

How many people will be in the group?

A minimum of 4 and a maximum of 12

I’m not sure about online programmes: will it feel engaging enough?

I have a wealth of experience in online facilitation, coaching and teaching. We’ll work with our bodies, with tactics to help us connect intimately over the ‘airwaves’, and there’ll be plenty of time away from the screen. People regularly feed back to me about their surprise at the strength of connection that we form via this medium.

Will sessions be recorded?

Yes, all sessions will be recorded and available to you via a private shared space 

Why is this cheaper than a lot of programmes of this kind?

I’ve consciously costed this at a level that I hope will make it more widely accessible to amazing women doing all kinds of powerful, essential work in our world. 

I know my value, it’s not priced more reasonably because I don’t. Simply, I believe that many programmes are over-priced and over-promising and that’s not how I operate, in my work or any other part of my life.
