April 2027 to April 2028 · with Robyn and Tanya

The year-long immersion

We are the medicine. Everything we need is already within us. This year is an invitation to open those channels, slowly and together: to come to know our parts, to find spaciousness, to learn how to resource ourselves again and again, and to grow into the self-leadership that lets us hold this work for others.

We begin and end on the land at Johnsons Landing. In between, we meet every two weeks, practice with a partner every week, and sit with each of us one to one.

The two of us

Robyn in a green dress and cream wrap

Robyn: from the body up

Continuum, somatic inquiry, parts work and sacred song. Returning ourselves to zero space and the cosmic anatomy, and opening the channels to connect with it. Robyn leads the experiential, body-based sessions.

Tanya

Tanya: from the mind down

Years of year-long trainings in the work of Byron Katie, grown into her own inquiry process. Pathways through inquiry into the same cosmic anatomy, from the mind and the culture we carry. Tanya leads the concept sessions.

Both of us are on every group call, and each of us sits with you three times over the year.
