Welcome to The Haven, a virtual home where gentle rebels find space and support to rest, re-frame, and rebuild from the inside out. It's a refuge for weary travellers sensitive souls looking for a calmer rhythm, friends who get them, and a deep breath a spirit of playful creativity.
Is Something Shifting?
An Unexpected Change
Perhaps you've been hit by loss (e.g. bereavement, the end of a relationship, a health challenge, or redundancy).
Life Transition
Maybe you are amid a change in seasons (e.g., moving, becoming a parent, retirement, promotion, building a business, or the kids have left home).
Gradual Drift
Perhaps you've drifted in a direction you didn't intentionally choose.
A Hunch
Maybe something is changing within, and you are waking up to the desire for something new.
Let this moment breathe. Allow yourself to feel what is alive in you right now.
What do you need?
The Haven provides a place to uncover your rhythm and explore this question.
Rest (permission to pause and be)
Reframe (rewrite the story you've believed about yourself until now)
Rebuild (find your natural rhythms and create a sustainable and meaningful life around them)
Moments like this can allow us to confront, transform, and release unhelpful habits.
Maybe you tend to:
Deny your own needs and emotions if it helps keep the peace
Take responsibility for soothing, harmonising, and regulating other peoples' feelings
Support other people's dreams and desires without ever making time to identify and serve your own
Try not to ask for too much help from other people
Drop what you're doing and downplay its importance if someone asks you for help
If any of these sound familiar (maybe they ALL do), you're not alone. It's a familiar story shared by many empathic (recovering) people-pleasers around the world.
Whether you need some respite from life's noise, want inspiration for what could happen next, or you want to connect with "your people", you're in the right place.
This is an invitation to slow down and listen. To explore your innate creativity and connect with your playful core. Are you ready to leave the rush, hustle, and frenetic pressure of an insatiable world at the door for a moment and plug into the beating heart of life?
With various resources, community, and written discussion prompts, the membership is designed to help inspire, support, and encourage you whether you need refuge, connection, or direction.
It's OK to be who you are, how you are, wherever you are. You are seen, you are safe, and you are accepted. Welcome home!
