Breaking Free… With Grace

Three weeks ago, I went through a pretty revolutionary experience on an intensive residential retreat in the hinterlands of Byron Bay. The Hoffman Process (if you’ve never heard of it - be sure to check it out) is an intense personal development program designed to help you identify and resolve negative behavioural patterns, emotional blockages, and deep-seated issues stemming from childhood experiences / family dynamics; integrating psychological, emotional, and spiritual techniques to foster self-awareness, emotional healing, and personal transformation.

Luminaries like Dr’s Gabor Maté, Dan Siegel and Jill Bolte Taylor are proponents for The Process - and now I can see why. To sum it up - this was deep, intense, life-changing work - and the experience was nothing short of mind-blowing!

I’m still in a process of integrating my learnings and I’m finding it fascinating to see how it has built upon the self-work I’ve under taken over the past 15-20 years - since finding my breath and realising that my thoughts can be slowed (or momentarily paused), allowing my inner voice & knowing space to be heard.
