For women who lead, guide, facilitate or hold space for others
Meet the patterns that still surface in relationship, embody more of your inner knowing, and lead with greater clarity, heart and trust in who you are.
A six month journey of personal transformation and experiential training in body aware and shamanic practices, breathwork, meditation, transformational coaching and the Relational Field methodology.
Experience the work within yourself. Embody the method. Bring it into your relationships, leadership and the work you are here to do.
You have already walked a long way
You have read the books, sat in circles, listened to the podcasts and perhaps spent years in therapy, coaching, healing, spiritual practice or professional training.
You understand many of your patterns. You recognise the inner child, the protective response or the old story beneath what you are feeling. You know the language of boundaries, self trust, nervous system awareness and compassionate communication.
And much of that work has changed you.
You may also be someone others turn to. A leader, coach, facilitator, practitioner or woman who naturally creates space for people to speak, reflect and find their way forward.
You know how to listen. You can sense what is happening beneath the words. You care deeply about the people you lead and support.
Yet the more deeply you work with others, the more your own embodiment matters.
There are moments when another person’s emotions stir something within you. When you feel responsible for easing the discomfort, finding the answer or carrying more than is yours.
And in your closest relationships, what you know can still become harder to access. A conversation catches you off guard. The words disappear, soften or change. The fear of how they will land can cause you to question yourself, overexplain or move away from what you know.
The next chapter is to bring what you understand into the living experience of relationship, to remain connected to your body, your heart and your inner knowing while another person is present.
And from that place, to bring a more embodied, open hearted and relational way of being into the people and spaces you hold.
“It’s bringing me back into my body, back into what it is my heart really wants to say, and feeling that I can say it, that it’s safe to express whatever is alive in me.”
Where our patterns reveal themselves
And yet, when someone misunderstands you, disagrees with you, questions you or does not respond in the way you hoped, something younger within you can still be stirred.
The fear of rejection.
The fear of being blamed or getting it wrong.
The belief that your needs are too much.
The feeling that you must earn love, manage the relationship or make yourself easier to receive.
In your personal relationships, this may appear as going silent, overexplaining, pleasing, withdrawing or moving away from what you know to be true.
Within the spaces you hold for others, the same patterns can take a different form.
You may move too quickly towards advice, avoid a necessary conversation, absorb what another person is feeling or measure your own worth through the transformation you can create for them.
The invitation is to turn towards these patterns with compassion. To listen to what they have been protecting and practise remaining connected to yourself while another person’s experience unfolds.
As these patterns become more visible, you gain greater choice. You can listen without rescuing, care without carrying and remain open hearted without leaving yourself behind.
The depth with which we can hold another is shaped by our willingness to meet what is activated within us.
The relationship is not separate from the inner work. It is where the next layer of the work reveals itself.
This is how we begin deepening the sense of belonging, worth and value that so many of us long to feel.
Not by waiting for another person to give it to us, but by reconnecting with the parts of ourselves that learnt they had to disappear in order to remain loved.
“I’ve started to see my mother for the first time in a long time. I feel so much more softness, gentleness and compassion towards her. I’m speaking to her in a way I never have before, and I feel more love.”
The body is where you return.
The Relational Field is where you practise.
Your life is where the transformation becomes visible.
Remembering the value of our voices
Many women carry conditioning that did not begin with them.
Across families, cultures and generations, women have been taught to make themselves smaller, remain agreeable, suppress anger, question their knowing and consider the comfort of others before expressing what is true.
Women have been silenced, dismissed, interrupted and belittled. Their perspectives have not always been valued, and their wisdom has not always been listened to.
These experiences can continue to live through the beliefs and protective patterns we carry:
Part of our work together is recognising and moving through this conditioning, not because we are trying to fix anything, but because we are becoming more rooted in the value of our own experience.
For women who lead, guide or hold space for others, this inheritance can also shape how confidently we name what we see, trust the wisdom we bring into a room, allow difference and speak what needs to be spoken. It can influence whether we challenge an established pattern, remain silent to preserve harmony or make our perspective more acceptable before allowing it to be heard.
Your voice matters.
Your perspective matters.
The way you listen, speak and hold a room matters.
You deserve relationships and spaces in which more of who you are can be expressed, heard and received.
Self Expression is about becoming more rooted in who you are so more of you can be felt and experienced.
THE LIVED TRANSFORMATION
As you become more able to remain connected to yourself, something begins to soften.
The tension of holding back what you feel begins to release. Your body feels lighter as you give yourself permission to speak, receive and be supported.
You feel more nourished, calm and grounded. More accepting of yourself and others. More trusting of your body, your heart and the life unfolding around you.
There is more room for joy, gratitude and genuine connection. You become more available for love, intimacy, abundance and support, and more able to recognise and receive them when they arrive.
You feel increasingly attuned to the guidance within you, the wisdom of the natural world and the support that surrounds you.
As more of you becomes visible, your relationships can hold greater honesty, tenderness and depth. The people closest to you are able to meet more of the woman who is truly there, and you experience the freedom of loving, speaking and relating as yourself.
As your embodiment deepens, it also changes the quality of the spaces you hold. You listen without losing connection with yourself. You facilitate more honest conversations. You remain open hearted when emotion or difference arises and support others without taking responsibility for their experience. Your presence becomes part of the way you lead.
Life begins to feel more spacious.
Your relationships feel more alive.
And you feel more deeply at home within yourself and the world around you.
“I’m becoming more honest with my partner and able to share the messier parts of myself. The air feels cleaner between us. There is more trust because what was there has been spoken, and we feel much closer.”
We need spaces where we can practise being ourselves in the presence of other women, where trust can grow, our bodies can begin to soften and we can remember that we belong.
The Relational Field methodology
The Relational Field methodology brings together embodied self leadership, relational practice, transformational coaching and shamanic wisdom.
It is a way of learning to remain connected to yourself while meeting another person with greater honesty, presence and care, and then bringing that way of relating into your relationships, leadership and the spaces you hold.
Pillar one
Deepening your relationship with yourself through the body, heart, voice and womb.
Developing your capacity to observe what is happening within you, especially when old patterns or protective responses arise, so that you can remain connected to your inner knowing and respond with greater awareness and choice.
Pillar two
Exploring how you meet yourself and others within relationship.
Recognising triggers, projections and habitual responses; taking responsibility for your own emotions; expressing what is true; listening deeply; and receiving another without fixing, judging or abandoning yourself.
Pillar three
Experiencing the power of being witnessed, supported and met within a consistent community of women.
Through the circle, partner work and shared practice, you develop greater capacity for trust, connection and receiving support, while forming relationships, networks and collaborations that can continue beyond the programme.
Pillar four
Bringing the sacred back into everyday life, relationships and leadership.
Weaving body aware and shamanic practices, breathwork, meditation, ritual, connection with nature and deeper listening into how you live, relate and hold space for others.
Experience the work within yourself. Embody the methodology. Bring it into the spaces you hold.
Voices from within the circle
The women who have experienced this way of gathering speak about being listened to deeply, sharing conversations with a depth they do not often find elsewhere, and feeling able to express what is real without judgement or advice.
“I can say anything here. It feels safe to be completely real and me.”
“Working with Lorna and Katherine has really settled me in a way that was completely unexpected. My sense of gravity has changed from my head, all the way down to my heart.”
“It is beyond words to receive the truth and wholeness of each woman.”
One of the things women have reflected back to us most clearly is how rare it can feel to enter a space where the conversation has real depth.
A space where there is no pressure to make what you are experiencing tidy or acceptable.
Where you are not given advice, analysed or hurried towards a solution.
Where the quieter, uncertain or less polished parts of you are welcome too.
To be heard without judgement is not a small thing. It can change the way we hear ourselves.
“This is a path to your unique essence. The field all these beautiful women created helps me open myself up more when I enter the space. My energy transforms into joy.”
Each month opens a new layer of the journey, while the Relational Field remains present throughout.
You will experience the work through two inseparable dimensions: your own personal embodiment and your growing capacity to lead, listen, facilitate and hold others from a more grounded and open hearted place.
This is not a curriculum to rush through or another collection of information to master. It is an experiential journey of remembering, practising and integrating.
You will experience the work within yourself, observe how the space is held, practise with other women and begin bringing the principles into your relationships, leadership and existing professional role.
Month One
Come back into contact with the woman beneath the roles you have learnt to carry
We begin by slowing down and noticing what has been held, managed or edited within you: the capable one, the peacekeeper, the woman who needs nothing or the one who holds everything together.
Within the sacred architecture of the circle, you will experience what it means to arrive without performing, to be witnessed without having to be your best and to remember that your presence is enough.
You will also begin exploring how your inner state influences the quality of presence you bring when listening to or holding another.
You begin to remember: who you are beneath the roles, and that presence begins before technique.
Month Two
Deepen your relationship with your body, your inner knowing and the ground beneath you
Through body aware and shamanic practices, breathwork and relationship with the living Earth, you will learn to recognise the signals that tell you when something feels true, when a boundary is needed or when you are moving away from yourself.
We will work with the body, heart, land, elements and the wisdom carried through your own lineage to nurture a deeper experience of belonging.
You will explore grounding, orienting and body aware practices that can support both your own presence and the quality of the spaces you hold.
You begin to trust: the body as a source of information, guidance and grounded presence.
Month Three
Turn towards the parts of you that become activated in relationship
When you feel unseen, questioned, judged, rejected or responsible for another person’s experience, familiar protective patterns can appear.
You may please, withdraw, overexplain, rescue, become controlling, silence yourself or carry what does not belong to you.
This month invites you to meet the younger and protective parts beneath these responses with compassion, while recognising how your own triggers, stories and projections can enter the relationships and spaces you hold.
The transformation is not that you are never activated. It is that you recognise what is happening sooner, understand what it is protecting and gain more choice in how you respond.
You begin to recognise: what belongs to you, what belongs to another and where greater choice becomes possible.
Month Four
Practise remaining connected to yourself while meeting another
This month brings compassionate presence and the Relational Field into direct experience.
Through carefully guided partner and small group work, you will practise deep listening, relational reflection, co regulation and remaining present when emotion, difference or uncertainty arises.
You will explore how to express a need, hold a boundary, receive support and enter conversations you might previously have avoided.
You will also practise listening without rescuing, advising or taking over another woman’s experience.
You begin to discover: that honesty and difference do not have to lead to disconnection, and that your presence can support another without carrying her experience.
Month Five
Allow more of who you are to be felt, heard and experienced
Expression is not about becoming louder, more polished or more performative. It is about becoming more rooted in your own voice.
Through voice, breath, embodied practice and courageous conversation, you will explore what happens when something true wants to be spoken, and how fear, self monitoring or the wish to remain acceptable can alter your words.
You will practise compassionate enquiry, clear reflection and facilitating conversations in which another person can hear her own knowing more clearly.
You begin to express: what is true with greater honesty, discernment and care.
Month Six
Bring what you have embodied into your relationships, leadership and work
In our final month, you will recognise what has changed in the way you listen to yourself, express your needs, meet others and hold space.
You will bring together the body aware practices, compassionate presence and the Relational Field methodology you have experienced throughout the journey.
You will explore how to integrate these principles into your leadership, coaching, facilitation, therapeutic or space holding work in a way that honours your existing role, training and boundaries.
Together, we complete the circle and create a grounded path forward, not so that you can perform a new version of yourself, but so that you can continue living, leading and contributing as more fully who you are.
You begin to embody: the woman you know yourself to be and the quality of leadership you are here to bring.
Remember who you are.
Root into your body and knowing.
Meet your patterns with compassion.
Relate with compassionate presence.
Express what is true.
Live and lead what you have embodied.
If you can feel that this is the depth of personal and relational work you are ready for, we would love to welcome you into the circle.
Begin Your JourneyConsistent practice · Spacious integration
Women of the New Earth is a live practice container rather than a large library of content.
The structure is spacious enough for integration and consistent enough for new ways of being, expressing and relating to become more familiar.
Each month includes:
Each month begins with teaching connected to the monthly theme, woven with body aware and shamanic practices, breathwork, meditation and transformational coaching. This is a space to experience the work within yourself before considering how you might bring it into your relationships, leadership or professional role.
A carefully held space in which you can experience the Relational Field personally through speaking, listening, witnessing and being received by other women.
You will begin to notice what happens within you as you meet another person: where you remain present, where you move towards fixing or rescuing, where you silence yourself, and what supports greater connection, trust and choice.
Through group coaching, partner work, relational rehearsal and small group practice, you will explore how the month’s learning meets the real situations arising in your life and work.
You may bring a conversation, relationship, leadership challenge or experience from a space you hold. Lorna and Katherine will offer compassionate observations, reflective questions and guidance to help you recognise what is happening beneath the surface and explore a different way of responding.
A place to stay connected, reflect on what is unfolding and share insights, questions, resources and practices. There will also be opportunities for women to bring their existing wisdom and skills into the community where this feels appropriate.
You will have the option of being paired with another woman for additional relational practice, reflection and mutual support between the live gatherings.
Each month will include concise reflection points to help you recognise how the work is changing the way you relate personally and how its principles may be integrated into the people, conversations and spaces you hold.
You will have opportunities to practise within pairs, small groups and the wider circle, with guidance and reflection from Lorna and Katherine. You will not be assessed or expected to arrive with perfect words. Feedback is offered as compassionate observation, helping you notice what is happening within you, how you are meeting another person, and what might support greater presence, trust and choice.
Throughout the journey, you will be invited to explore how this work applies within your own context, whether you lead a team, coach or support individuals, facilitate groups, offer healing work or hold important conversations within your community.
You can bring real situations from your work into the group coaching and integration sessions, allowing you to explore how to remain grounded, recognise relational patterns and create spaces in which people feel more deeply heard.
Rather than giving you a rigid script to follow, we will support you to integrate the principles of the Relational Field into the skills, wisdom and professional experience you already hold.
Through the journey, you will develop greater capacity to:
The deeper work does not only happen during our live gatherings.
It happens in the conversation you approach differently.
The boundary you honour.
The support you allow yourself to receive.
The moment you notice an old pattern and choose to remain with yourself.
The decision you make without abandoning what you know.
The circle is where we practise. Life is where the practice becomes lived.
“I’m more present, more in my body. I feel more encouraged to speak out my uncertainties. It helps me feel that I am more authentic.”
Is Women of the New Earth for you?
You do not need to arrive feeling completely confident about being seen, speaking honestly or sharing within a group.
What matters is your willingness to move at your own pace, honour the agreements of the space and meet yourself and others with responsibility, curiosity and care.
“This is for the woman who knows that the quality of the spaces she holds begins with the quality of presence she embodies.”
Self · Relationship · World
Because transformation moves from within us, through our relationships and into the world
The New Earth is not an idea we wait for or something that exists somewhere outside us.
It begins in the way you inhabit your body, honour what you know and relate to the different parts of yourself.
It becomes visible in the way you listen, speak, love, meet difference and remain connected to yourself while another person is present.
And it ripples into the way you lead, coach, facilitate, collaborate and create spaces in which other people can be more fully themselves.
Your expression may be found within your family or intimate relationship, the team you lead, your coaching or therapeutic work, the circles you facilitate, your creativity, healing, education, community or the particular contribution you are here to make.
The form will be different for every woman.
The movement is shared:
From self, into relationship, and from relationship into the world.
Become more deeply rooted within yourself
Remain connected to yourself while meeting another
Bring more of who you are into the people and spaces you hold
When a woman changes the way she lives within herself, it changes the way she relates. When the way she relates changes, the people and spaces she holds begin to change.This is how the New Earth becomes something we embody and create together.
Your guides
Together, we create a space that is warm and human, but also clearly boundaried.
We will not ask you to perform vulnerability or share beyond what feels right.
We will invite you to become more present, more honest and more responsible for the way you meet yourself and others.

OUR GUEST ELDER
Elder and Retired Psychosynthesis Psychotherapist
Barbara brings a wealth of lived experience, spiritual wisdom and deep understanding of the human journey.
Throughout the emotional and material challenges life has brought her, Barbara has remained devoted to two intertwined paths: her own personal work and the unfolding of her spiritual life.
She trained in psychosynthesis, a transpersonal approach to psychotherapy that honours both our human complexity and our deeper potential. During her many years as a practising psychotherapist, she supported people of different ages, backgrounds and faiths to understand their inner worlds and navigate their lives with greater awareness and choice.
Now retired, Barbara joins Women of the New Earth as our Guest Elder, bringing the perspective and wisdom gathered through a long life deeply lived.
Known for her warmth, compassionate listening and ability to receive others without judgement, Barbara brings groundedness, tenderness and an intergenerational presence to the circle. Her presence reminds us that we do not have to find our way alone and honours the place elders have traditionally held within women’s communities.
THE ONGOING EMBODIMENT
Women of the New Earth is a commitment to your own unfolding and to the quality of presence you bring to others.
Not only when you are alone and have space to listen.
Not only when you are held within a beautiful circle.
But within your relationships, your family, your leadership, your work and the moments when you feel challenged, misunderstood or uncertain.
Over six months, you will experience the work within yourself, observe how the space is held, practise within the circle and with other women, and integrate the Relational Field methodology into the way you live, relate and lead.
Each time you choose honesty over hiding, remain connected rather than abandoning yourself or allow your voice to be heard even when it trembles, a different way of being becomes more available.
Each time you listen without rescuing, care without carrying or allow another person to find her own knowing, you deepen your capacity to hold relational space.
You are not learning a script or becoming somebody new.
You are learning to remain with the woman you already are, and to let her presence shape the relationships, conversations and spaces you hold.
I am here.
I am listening.
And from here, I can meet another.
The practical details
A six month personal transformational journey and experiential training for women who lead, guide, facilitate or hold space for others.
Through personal embodiment, live group experiences and guided relational practice, you will learn to bring greater presence, depth and heart into your relationships, leadership and the work you are already here to do.
Choose the payment option that allows you to enter the journey with the greatest sense of steadiness.
Six months · Three live gatherings each month · Private community · Limited to 15 women
Your questions
Women of the New Earth is a six month personal transformational journey and experiential training for women who lead, guide, facilitate or hold space for others.
You will experience the Relational Field within yourself and alongside other women, while learning how its principles can bring greater depth, presence and heart into your relationships, leadership and the work you already do.
No. You do not need a particular title.
You may lead a team, coach clients, facilitate groups, work therapeutically, hold healing or community spaces, teach or simply find that other people naturally turn to you.
What matters is that you already hold some responsibility for people, conversations or spaces and want to do so with greater presence, depth and care.
Yes. Women of the New Earth is created for women who already possess meaningful self awareness.
The journey is less about gathering more information and more about embodying what you know while another person is present, and bringing that embodiment into your relationships, leadership and work.
Women of the New Earth is an experiential training and personal transformational journey. It is not a professional qualification and does not certify participants to practise therapy, coaching, breathwork or shamanic healing.
You will learn through direct experience, observation, guided practice and reflection, and you will be supported to bring the principles of the Relational Field into your existing relationships, leadership or professional work.
Each woman remains responsible for using what she learns in ways that are appropriate to her existing training, role, professional responsibilities and scope of practice.
The shamanic dimension of the programme includes grounded practices that honour our relationship with the Earth, the elements, ancestry, ritual, symbol and the wisdom of the natural world.
These practices are offered experientially and inclusively. You do not need to follow a particular religion, belief system or spiritual path.
The Relational Field is the living methodology at the heart of the programme.
It is created through women meeting with presence, listening deeply, speaking honestly, taking responsibility for their own experience and allowing another woman’s truth to remain her own.
It is where you experience, observe and practise a different way of relating and holding space.
Within clearly guided pairs and small groups, you will practise being witnessed, listening deeply, reflecting what you hear and remaining present without immediately advising, rescuing or fixing.
You will always remain in choice about what you share. Clear guidance and relational agreements will support each practice.
No. You decide what you share and how deeply you participate.
There is no pressure to disclose personal information before you are ready. Listening, observing and being present are also meaningful forms of participation.
Radical self responsibility means becoming curious about your own emotions, triggers, stories, projections and choices without blaming yourself or making another woman responsible for what you feel.
It also means respecting consent, confidentiality and the boundaries of the group.
Every participant agrees to keep the identities, experiences and personal stories shared by other women confidential.
You may speak about your own learning outside the programme, but not in a way that identifies or reveals another participant’s experience.
No. Women of the New Earth is a coaching, educational and experiential group programme. It is not psychotherapy, medical treatment or crisis support.
It may complement appropriate therapeutic or medical care, but it does not replace it.
Emotion and activation can arise within relational and embodied work.
You will be encouraged to move at your own pace, remain in choice and use the grounding and body aware practices offered throughout the programme. You are responsible for seeking appropriate individual or clinical support if something arises beyond the scope of the group.
Replays of the main teaching and embodied sessions will be made available wherever the nature of the session makes recording appropriate.
Partner work, personal sharing and some Relational Field experiences may not be recorded in order to protect confidentiality and the integrity of the space.
No. The transformation happens through live participation, relationship, reflection and practice.
You will receive concise resources between sessions, but Women of the New Earth is not a passive content library or self study course.
Yes. We recognise that every woman enters with her own experience, wisdom and way of seeing.
There will be optional opportunities to share practices, skills, reflections, resources and perspectives within the private community and, where appropriate, within our live gatherings. These contributions will be agreed together so they support the focus and integrity of the group.
“I feel accepted. Hearing the honest sharing and wholeness of each woman touches my heart deeply and helps me become more truthful and less filtered myself.”
TO THE WOMEN OF THE NEW EARTH
And you were never meant to hold others by leaving yourself behind.
There is a different way of being with ourselves and with one another.
A way of remaining connected to your body, your heart and what you know, even when a relationship touches something tender.
A way of listening deeply without taking responsibility for another person’s experience.
A way of speaking what is true without needing perfect words.
A way of leading, facilitating and holding space that honours both your own humanity and the wisdom of the person in front of you.
Every time you choose truth over silence, connection over isolation and presence over self abandonment, you strengthen a different way of relating.
And what you embody does not remain within you.
It enters the conversation with your partner.
The way you meet a client.
The way you lead a team.
The way you facilitate a circle.
The way you listen when another woman finds the courage to speak.
The world does not need more women carrying everything alone.
It needs women who are rooted enough to remain connected to themselves, open hearted enough to meet another and courageous enough to bring a different quality of presence into the spaces they hold.
This journey is not about becoming another version of who you think you should be.
It is about allowing the woman you meet in quiet moments to enter the conversation, trust what she knows, receive support and bring her gifts into the world.
Not perfectly.
But as herself.
Take a moment.
Feel your feet upon the ground.
Connect with your heart.
And ask gently:
Is this a yes for me now?
You do not need to force the answer.
Listen for what your body already knows.
And when you are ready to step into the circle, we will welcome you here.
With love,
Lorna and Katherine
