Welcome to Level 2 of a 4-part series to be released over 24' - 25'. This level 2 journey has been created from over 10 years of study, research and thousands of hours sitting with clients from all walks of life. This training is also the accumulation of my own life experiences, travels, teachings and wisdom that had been shared with me by some incredible teachers along the way. It is my way of sharing these teachings in a digestible and accessible manner to continue helping others more through their pain, discomforts, fears and challenges.
What is often confusing and confronting is that our inner resources have become so interwoven with our defensive strategies that we do not know how to sort out the good and bad in ourselves.
Before real change is possible, we first have to see, feel and understand "what is" distinct from our familiar sense of reality (This is not easy). So the first step is to develop a commitment to seeing ourselves as we are, no matter how much we might dread what we will discover.
Course Structure
This course will guide you through a 12-week process over 4 months to the deeper more profound layers of the showed and seeking resolutions. Each week we will explore a different topic and create an opportunity for discussion, sharing and experiencing. Teachings will take place on a Sunday night for 2 hours (online), where the content for each week will be presented. There will be an additional Wednesday night 2-hour (online) Q&A call for those wanting to ask questions, share their experiences from the week or sit on the ‘hot seat’ and dive into a process of change. These Thursday calls are where the deep work truly happens.
We will work in 3 cycles of 4 weeks, with a break of 3 weeks in between each cycle for ample integration and reflection. At the end of each cycle, there will be an additional 3-hour online breathwork on a Saturday morning for a deeper dive into our work together. This ensures that we are reflecting, releasing and closing down each phase of our work together.

Dan
With a background in psychology and neuroscience, Dan’s passion has led him down a path of extended study exploring the vast nature of the mind. He has explored the nature of behaviour, the importance of these behaviours and how it impacts the way we show up in life. He has developed a strong psychoanalytic and psychodynamic framework that he teaches from and guides you through, focusing on integrating back into the whole. His approach is holistic but focused on reintegrating past experiences so you can start living more fully from the present and less from the past.
His approach to breathwork explores the stuck energy that keeps us recursively looping, reminiscing and re-living our shame, blame, guilt, sadness etc. etc… he helps you find your voice again, to express the things you never have. He guides you and gives you permission to release the anger and frustration you may not have been able to access or the deep grief and sadness you may not have known were present. He does this by teaching you and then guiding you into practice in a safe and supported way.
Dan has extensively explored the impact that events from the past have in shaping who you are. We unconsciously take on so much from our environment, often unaware of the full extent of how we have been impacted. This becomes stored mostly in the body and nervous system. Through his own trauma history and over a decade of exploration, Dan shares from a place of lived experience and a passion for change.
“If you could think your way through it…. wouldn’t you have done it by now?” — so maybe it’s time to try something else instead. Dans’ approach is both cognitive, somatic and transpersonal.
He has grown up learning and playing music from a young age. From his study of music at the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA) to exploring sound and vibration in the Peruvian Amazon and learning from teachers from all around the world, he has spent the last 8 years working as a trauma-informed psychotherapist. He is a Provisional Psychologist studying a Masters of Clinical Psychology with a BPsySc (Honours) degree. His work as a psychotherapist currently involves working with people suffering from depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and PTSD. His holistic approach to healing encompasses cognitive, somatic, and vibrational medicine to release limiting beliefs, stagnation, stress, tensions, and a whole range of other pathologies stored in the body. Dan’s own history and personal journey have led him to find a passion for educating and empowering others, sharing these learnings, and giving people an experience of transcendence for their own exploration and evolution.
This journey is for those who are looking to go within, to deeply listen and learn about how you truly perceive the world.

It is vital that you have a good support network around you if / when things become challenging. If you have any concerns, please reach out prior to booking your space.
