Multiple perspectives
to find what works for you
Are you done with new age BS... but love spirituality?
The modern spiritual supermarket can be shallow, confusing and full of charlatans.
It seems to be more about Instagram and affirmations than practical growth.
Toxic positivity, spiritual bypassing, and superstitious “love and light” attitudes run rampant.
And the crystal-shagging, dolphin-smooching, unicorn crowd, drive me a bit nuts!
Then there are the fundamentalists who take it very, very seriously, and say their way is the only way.
Nah, mate. There’s got to be a better way…
Feeling lost in the chaos?
Yes, it’s easy to roll our eyes at the superficiality and consumerism of modern spirituality, but what else is there?
There are so many disparate threads thrown under the banner of spirituality. It’s enough to make anyone feel lost.
What is spirituality? What role does the body have to play? Is it even possible to find a grounded approach that deeply integrates all the major influences on the field without resorting to “influencer” sound-bites or cult-like beliefs?
Well, hold onto your crystals, anti-seekers, as s***’s about to get practical…
Spirituality for where it actually matters...
The body is an anchor in times of spiritual confusion. Humour keeps it real, and pragmatism is key. So that’s what we’ve got for ya.
If you’re looking for an approach that’s fun, grounded and will help you in your daily life, then you may like to join us…
We’ll explore the five major threads weaved into the field of modern spirituality, and give you embodied tools for the actual world… where life really exists.
One word of warning, though. This event is not for the easily offended or overly serious. Best stay home and enjoy your righteousness 😉
Presents
Embodied Spirituality
Discover the body's role in spirituality
with the world's most experienced online embodiment facilitators
Modern spirituality is a bit of a mess. This will un-mess it a bit for you.
Join us over three days (all recorded) as we explore the major threads in the field – embodiment, therapy / trauma, western religion, eastern religion, paganism – and give you body-based tools to help you feel how these have influenced you.
If you...
Are “spiritual but not religious”
Want to see the big picture of what’s possible in modern spirituality
Are into spirituality but tired of all the BS
Then you may like to join us on this event
What you’ll get from this event…
- An overview of the modern spiritual supermarket and what’s on offer
- How to avoid the three main problems with postmodern spirituality
- How to integrate the five main threads around today
- Practical tips for using spirituality to access confidence, resilience and life purpose
- Some “is it really okay to laugh at this but f*** it I’m gonna” moments (free posterior chakra stick removal)
- Inspiration from some of the best people out there, carefully selected on their ability to not get murdered by Mark while talking about spirituality (that's a skill!)
What some of our 10,338+ students across our courses say...
I already had a embodied meditation practice, but it feels so much more enriched. My students have already noticed a shift, which they love. There are a range of tools and the way they are broken down is excellent. A wonderful course!
The course was well-structured with wonderful teachers. What really sets this course apart from others is the off-the-cushion practices and the emphasis on the transfer of skills developed into daily life.
The main takeaway for me was an attitude of kindness towards myself and my practice. The self-compassion and "yes meditation" resonated a lot with me. Great content overall.
It’s been transformational, empowering. I’m already seeing positive impacts on my classes.
My experience has enabled me to establish a personal practice and has enriched my own teaching of yoga and meditation.
Wow, I learned so much! The structure was really nice and fluid, and organization over-the-top awesome. Great longer meditations, too.
This work has been a central anchor in times of turmoil, as well as an enhanced sense of peace when things are generally going well.
The course helped me to create the space for a daily morning practice again, and for the first time in my meditation experience – be fully committed to it.
I thought that ‘coming home to your body’ was just a nice metaphor until I really felt it!

Why we're doing this now...
“I’ve been wanting to do an event on embodied spirituality for a long time.
Frankly, myself, the whole team, and anyone who’s done a course with us is interested in this topic.
But, we’re very aware that people are rightly sceptical of spirituality because there are so many fakers, bypassers and abusers in the field.
Whilst I won’t be donning any white robes, I am happy to be hosting an event with multiple perspectives to explore what embodied spirituality could be.”
