CONNECTION is everything.

Whether you are working 121 with a client or teaching a group class to students, or selling your course or product, supporting a loved one or a friend, or a team member.

Where does connection start?

It’s starts within you - with the way you relate to yourself and your felt experience, and how you open to relating with others from that inner connected space.

Can you fake it?

Yes, you can fake it for some time - especially in an online space. But it never lasts because it’s difficult to pretend all the time without people feeling that something is off.

I’ve recently experienced a sense of disconnection from the online world. I just couldn’t watch what I was witnessing - the false and exaggerated promises, and hyped up sales strategies. I felt I didn’t want to have anything to do with it.

And so I disconnected from it.

But what I realised is that it’s still important to me to be part of the conversation and share my voice and point of view. And create different kind of spaces where connection is the most important thing - safe enough spaces for deep healing, learning and growth to happen.

Why?
Because it aligns with what’s my soul is whispering, and how I want to contribute to creating this world.

Every time I hold a space within our trainings I witness how profoundly healing this experience of connection with others is, and how it allows us to be seen and witnessed with kindness and compassion.

And I’ve heard so many times how life-changing our spaces are. And that fills my soul with deep gratitude.

It means that if I want to create more of these spaces I need to share about the work we do in our Academy so women can find out about it and join us.

Because of I don’t share about our trainings nobody will know and benefit from them.

So back to connection - I’ll be sharing with you about our trainings and courses, and the impact it’s having on women who joined us. I will be sharing little stories to show you how deeply healing it is.

And if that doesn’t resonate with you - that’s ok.
I want to invite you to find a place that does resonate - because connection is everything.

And life is too precious to spend feeling disconnected and lonely.

If this resonates with you - let me know if the comments 😊

I’ve been reflecting on 2024 in my business and life and had some great insights about what needs to change. It’s been a really fulfilling year and I connected with many practitioners and clients, and created and delivered life-changing training (other people’s words).

But I know within my body and soul that things need to change in 2025.

Why?

Not because what I’m doing is not working - I love it and my clients love it - but how I do it.

My whole being is asking for Soulful Spaciousness and slow living. I feel it in every cell of my body.

And as a person who learned to listen to my embodied wisdom - I am listening and following the breadcrumbs.

So many synchronicities and coincidences have been happening recently that I cannot ignore them.

And what’s guiding me in my business decisions, in creating my new model and structure - is this inner longing, and understanding of lived experience that there isn’t just one way of building your business.

I’ve been sharing my new methodology - based around embracing our own values, strengths, passion and rhythm, sharing different types of stories, stepping into your Feminine Embodied Leader role that’s right for you and aligned with your Mission, and creating your unique Embodied Business Mandala™️Model.

The feedback from women who are part of our circle has been really great.

But it’s been a little scary too. Because I know I’m sharing what I feel in every cell of my being - but it’s against the grain of our society’s mantra for ‘more, faster, bigger, better and louder’.

So if you’re tired of the tricks and techniques, and full on marketing ploys and promises that keep you hustling and striving - and you resonate with what I’m sharing here - follow the link in my bio/comments to find out more about my group 12-month programme: The EMBODIED BUSINESS MANDALA™️ Mentorship and Mastermind Circle.

Right now, throughout November only, I am offering a special pre-sale price and if you join us you will get an additional time in the programme till the end of the year, with all weekly calls, training programme and Yearly/Quarterly Seasonal Planning Retreat in December.

I’ve just had two really healing and deeply soothing weeks. Lots of rest, reflection and journalling.
Lots of walking with Oscar and Mick.
Many insights and aligning with my priorities, and planning next steps.

This is something you cannot do in the busyness of daily life and work. You need to step back to reflect and realign.

I used to feel anxious about taking time away from my business. I’m sure some of it comes from working for over 16 years in Social Care. I never knew what I was coming back to. This is the price you pay for working with crisis and trauma.

And this hyper alertness and being constantly on, stayed with me even though I left Social Care 8 years ago. I know that this wasn’t the only reason.

It’s also because I’m highly sensitive and introverted, which added to high anxiety levels.

But over the past few years I learned how to work in a different way, in a way that supports my nervous system regulation and growth in a sustainable way.

It’s funny that I’ve been working with trauma, mental health, addiction and child protection for 25 years, and practicing yoga and mindfulness for 30, but I’ve only learned it not so long ago.

Why?
Because there is a difference between being a good practitioner and working with clients in a trauma-informed or sensitive way, and growing your business in a sustainable, slow and nervous system friendly way.

Big difference.

I talked about it in my free FB group today. And I will be sharing training there over the next 6 weeks.

I am not an academic… I am somebody who has been working with individuals and families who experienced trauma for 25 years.

For the first 16 of those years I worked full time in Social Care - every single working day I would support clients in 1-2-1 sessions and run psycho-educational, harm minimisation and support groups from bio-psycho-social perspective.

I worked in community centres delivering group programmes, in a crisis residential detox centre (I wrote and delivered group programme there), doing outreach with families on child protection.

I set up services, interviewed and trained front line teams, managed and supervised workers and volunteers.

So no - I’m not an academic.

I’m an immigrant who moved to London at the age of 18 and always had to work to support myself.

Yes, I’ve done a lot of training over the years. I love learning and studying. I started with Existentialist and Person-centred Counselling and group work in 1995.

But the most important thing for me is always - how to work with clients in an effective way. How to support clients and practitioners in the most effective way.

I don’t care how many degrees you have and how much theory you understand. Good for you.

What I care about is - can you hold a safe enough space for yourself and your client for learning, growth and healing.

I’ve worked with many different professionals over the years - enough to know that their credentials are not equal with their people skills. I’ve met professionals with PhD’s who couldn’t communicate with our clients and it always ended up in a huge blow up.

This is why my trainings are based around practitioners becoming better practitioners in practical terms, and translating theory into practice. Developing their own inner knowing and learning to trust it.

Abundance is yours

What you truly seek has always been seeking you. And what you never really wanted, you will never receive anyway, or it will leave soon enough.

Move in the world not from a place of lack, always focused on the goal, measuring how far or near you are, but from a place of presence, slowness, trust. Relax, breathe, and open your arms wide to life today. Be soft and receptive, and stay close to doubt. Everything will come to you.

You will get to taste it all, the success and the failure, the pleasure and the pain, the highest joy and the most profound heartache. Make a nest for all these lost fragments of your ancient and infinite self. Trust what comes and trust what goes. Trust what stays and trust what leaves. Trust even the doubt.

What you truly seek is seeking you as much as you are seeking it, for you are only looking in to a mirror. You seek your own presence, and you were never divided from it. As you find it, you are found. As you know it, you are known. You are embraced as deeply as you embrace.

Abundance is yours, effortlessly, then. The miracle of each breath, every beat of your heart, every sensation pulsating, fluttering, tingling in the body. A joy, a sorrow, an explosion of creativity. An unexpected connection, a sudden loss. A new chance to meet yourself. A new day to taste all that life has to offer, to give all you have to give.

A fresh new moment now, offered for free. A priceless gift, given. Full, complete like that like an ocean, you play with desire as she rises and falls, like a beloved wave in your vastness.

✨The Embodied Feminine Wisdom Retreat✨

I am excited to invite you to the Embodied Feminine Wisdom Retreat - an intimate retreat for women practitioners, where we will come together with a shared intention to forge deep connections, authentic relationships, to learn and explore in a co-creative and feminine way.

Reconnect with your embodied feminine wisdom, craft your unique vision as a practitioner working with women, and lay a clear path to embody who you need to be to bring your sacred vision to life.

As humans, women, practitioners, it’s easy to lose sight of the vision that we tenderly hold for ourselves, our life, and our business or work.

Life takes over at times, and we lack the spaciousness we crave to pause and reconnect with ourselves and the deeper knowing within us.

As experienced practitioners, we (Aneta and Isabelle) know how vital it is for us, women, to honour our need to connect, belong, learn and grow together.

To be witnessed, encouraged, and held in compassionate and expansive spaces.

To recognise that we are not alone, but deeply interconnected, and so much stronger and more powerful together.

We know first hand that something sacred and deeply transformational happens when we come together as women.

We have chosen to create this space for us to explore, play, learn, grow, laugh and heal together.

👉Details:

When: 25th - 28th November 2024

Where: Cotswolds countryside, U.K.

Hosts: Aneta Idczak & Isabelle Griffith

✨Join us for deep connection with yourself and other women, your embodied work and your vision.
