The quality of our life is largely determined by the quality of our relationships. And the quality of our relationships with others is largely determined by the quality of our relationship with our own embodied self.


ReSource is an opportunity to focus on improving that core relationship – and through it every relationship in your life.

EDUCATION

Get a comprehensive foundation in the somatic, emotional, and relational education that is Embodied Intimacy.

Are you carrying relational trauma that just keeps tripping you up and won't let you create the relationships you long for?

You're not alone.

We all carry personal and collective trauma.

We all struggle to balance the desire for deep connection with the very real challenge of living with a nervous system that's easily triggered and which often undermines our most important relationships, our happiness and wellbeing, and even our financial success.

We all find it hard to let ourselves love and be loved in a way that fits the unique shape of our hearts.

But there are ways to integrate our traumas, to skilfully regulate our nervous system so that we can show up more consistently in our lives, and to create enough of a sense of safety to speak the truth of our heart in connection.

ReSource is a distillation of over a decade of Embodied Intimacy workshops and trainings sharing science-backed teachings and techniques that can help us to shift the old patterns of relating which no longer serve us and move through our blocks to authentic intimacy.

 

ReSource is for you if you are longing to move beyond the anxiety, shame, insecurity and frustration that can so often surround intimacy and relating, and are ready to experience more ease and joy in connection.

"This has fully allowed me to touch into a depth of intimacy with myself and with others that I really wasn't expecting. It's a surprising, awesome, life-changing program. I only wish I'd taken it sooner...”

"I love love love this training! I am learning so much and the things I'm learning are serious game-changers for me. The content is really amazing. Add to that Rachel & Buster's authenticity and rawness - I am in love."

"...thorough, practical and well supported... and did what it says on the tin: gave me resources to deal with trauma responses, challenges in relating with myself and other people, and tools that I can use everyday..."

How does ReSource work?

ReSource has three main elements that work together to help you reconnect with your body's intelligence to improve the way you relate.

ELEMENT 1

Daily Teachings & Practices

Over six weeks, you’ll journey through our essential education in embodiment, relating and intimacy, developing the skills you need to master the art of connection – firstly with yourself, and then with others. Our framework will give you a theoretical and experiential foundation on which to build the more positive relationships you long for in your life. 20-30 minutes of content and exercises per day for six weeks. Intensive, yes, and deeply transformative.

ELEMENT 2

Live Practice Sessions

Learn to apply our tools and techniques and consolidate your personal practice with weekly online group coaching sessions led by Embodied Intimacy trained somatic empowerment facilitators, and monthly live sessions with Embodied Intimacy founders Buster and Rachel. As part of ReSource you'll gain lifetime access to these live sessions so you can continue to deepen your practice long after the end of the main six weeks of training.

ELEMENT 3

ReSource Tribe

The depth of healing and empowerment that is possible through our somatic education is amplified when practiced in community. So, as part of ReSource you'll get lifetime access to our online tribe of Embodied Intimacy practitioners, a heart-centred community committed to applying the teachings and tools we share. The online community space is a supportive and transformative space to collaborate with others to deepen your somatic resourcing journey.

In this online format, with these three mutually supporting elements, our essential teachings and the transformations they make possible are available to you in a way that's accessible from your own safe space and for a fraction of the cost of our in-person trainings.

What results should I expect from ReSource?

The tools, techniques and understandings you'll find inside ReSource will help you in so many ways, including:

Learn to really love yourself as you are

The essential first step: befriending yourself, flaws and all, and embracing the parts of yourself you've been at war with: All of You Is Welcome Here.

Reclaim the deep wisdom of your body

Move from submission to empowerment by reinstating your active defences. The empowered path back from Learned Helplessness, shame and worthlessness.

Build a powerful sense of somatic safety

Shift the state of your biology and learn to re-set your operating system with “bottom-up” resources to increase your sense of safety in any situation.

Anchor an awareness of solidarity and support

Relational traumas were not laid down in isolation. We need others in order to heal, practice and reinforce new behaviours.

Move from fear to trust in connection

When animals are safe, they play. By developing somatic safety from the bottom up, we learn to trust - both ourselves and others.

Rediscover vulnerability, innocence and wildness

Become more of who you truly are as you effortlessly begin expressing your full potential. Once the brakes come off - there's no stopping you.

“I am now much more able to regulate my nervous system, to be aware of my triggers and much more. I feel a lot more at peace within myself and I’m much more in my joy and playfulness!"

“Thank you for all the wonderful and challenging things I am experiencing… this is really a juicy field for growth.”

“This is amazing! I have recommended it to so many friends now, because it is such a good handbook for life!”

“I've been curious about your workshops for a while but never dared to join one. This online format made your work more accessible... it felt more safe to peek into it from the safety of my home. Now I'm super excited to see you soon in person!"

"My biggest take away from this training is the growing and deepening awareness and appreciation of my body as the SAFE HOME I have always always longed for. Not the arms of another, not a geographical place on Earth, not a distant planet, but first and foremost - my.own.body. The greatest of gifts."

"I will say that the whole course has been beautifully constructed and it works! Who'd have thought online intimacy could be a thing. Sounds paradoxical but you've made it work."

"I've been enjoying the material and it's completely spot-on for me. It's fascinating and resonating and exhilarating."

"Fascinating, really useful, educational. You've condensed into a really manageable format stuff I've been meaning to research for years: trauma, nervous system, relating, attachment. AWESOME."

All of You Is Welcome Here

A Word About Our Style: We Keep It REAL!

Please be warned: while we really do know our stuff when it comes to science-backed, trauma-informed somatic empowerment theory and practice, we are, first and foremost, wonderfully flawed human beings just like you, struggling every day with the same kind of personal and relational challenges as you are.

Acknowledging this, and keeping things as real as possible, is at the heart of our approach, central to the transmission we bring to all our trainings. Nothing in our work is about trying to stand on tiptoes above anyone else or bypass the inherent fragility of being a human spiritual animal alive here in the mystery of our 21st century post-pandemic, pre-climate-chaos cultural landscape.

All we really know is that working directly with our basic somatic needs offers a way to create enough relative safety to show up and reveal ourselves authentically, to take risks in vulnerability, and let others see us as we actually are. This is the essence of true intimacy: discovering, together, that we are loveable just as we are right now, with all our strange knots and distortions, unexpected gifts and quiet joys.

This approach is especially well demonstrated in Buster's ability to reveal himself transparently, no matter how awkward and messy it might look. As you'll discover inside the training, ReSource isn't a polished, top-down dispensing of cool information. It's warm, vulnerable, vital, at times deeply moving, at times hilarious, and at other times excruciatingly uncomfortable – just like this precious life we all share in.

"All of you is welcome here" isn't just something we say!
It's our way of being.
