From Resistance to Safety
Resistance moves through daily life in ways that are often unnoticed. It shapes how you think, how you feel, and how you engage with the world. It can show up as judgment toward yourself or others, as loneliness or disconnection, as inertia, helplessness, or a quiet dissatisfaction. It can also appear as the ongoing search for more. More information. More self-improvement. More empowerment. Whilst something underneath still feels not enough. This is resistance. It is the act of pushing against the impulses, cues, and deeper intelligence that are quietly guiding you. Over the next 8 weeks, I, Olivia, will guide an exploration of these layers of resistance through body, breath, and mind, inviting a deeper intimacy with yourself. We will explore resistance through three themes. Openness: the pathway into courage. As resistance softens, there is a willingness to stay with what is here. Healing: meeting physical and emotional pain. Rather than turning away, you begin to come into relationship with what hurts. Resilience: embodying the changeless within the changing. A steadiness becomes available, not by controlling life, but by meeting it more fully. Resistance begins to reveal how it expresses itself within you, expanding your capacity to feel safe and at home in your own skin. You are invited to meet your vulnerabilities, unlock your courage, embrace your pain, and embody a resilience that allows you to move through life with greater fluidity and ease, no matter what you are facing.

The course runs for 8 weeks | Taught live online
Week 1 - 3 & 5 - 7:
Movement and subtle-breath practice
Across weeks one to three and four to seven, we’ll meet weekly for a 75-minute session. Guided by the course theme, you’ll be led into a breathing practice, followed by embodied movement, and closing in deep rest. All classes are recorded, so you can practice live or in a time that suits you best,
Each Wednesday 10:15 - 11:30 BST
Week 4 & 8:
Deep listening circle & Deep rest practice
In the fourth & eighth weeks, following the rhythm of the new moon, we’ll gather in 2 deep listening circles (in which you can attend one or both). On the Tuesday night this will be followed by an extended guided rest, held within the theme of the month. The closing rest will be recorded, so you can return to it in your own time.
Tuesday 18:00- 19:30 BST
Thursday 10:15 - 11:15 BST
You’ll have access to all class recordings for three weeks after each class, so you can engage with the practices in your own time. Live attendance isn’t required. Please note: Deep Listening sessions on Tuesday and Thursday are interactive and not recorded. The guided Deep Rest session on Tuesday (19:00–19:30), which follows Deep Listening, will be recorded and available afterwards. You’re also welcome to join partway through a course. You’ll receive access to all previous recordings for three weeks, and can continue attending any remaining live sessions included in your enrolment.
Cycles
These monthly courses move in rhythm with the moon. No matter your gender identity, you are a cyclical being, living on and with a cyclical Earth. Practicing in tune with these natural rhythms can enhance your connection to the cycles within and around you. As you soften into the many ebbs and flows, your whole life can be invited to move through you with more ease and less resistance (to change). Each course begins in the waxing moon phase and flows through the full and waning moons. During the week of the new moon, there is no movement class. Instead, we gather in a deep listening circle, followed by a guided deep stillness to invite a nourishing, rejuvenating rest. And if your body longs for movement that week, you’ll still have access to the previous week’s recording to return to whenever you wish.
