PERSONAL, SPIRITUAL AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
As a therapist, my ability to journey with feelings, stay present to my moment to moment experiencing, and to know what supports and nourishes me, directly links to my capacity to hold space for and journey with others. Over the years I have engaged in a range of personal, spiritual and professional development intensives, workshops and modalities. I continue to nourish and develop my own creative explorations.
Some of the work that has deeply supported me in healing, transformation and growth is listed below.
Of course, we each have our own path to follow, so please trust in your own impulse and engage in paths that feel supportive to you. If you'd like to know more about these intensives and modalities, please feel free to give me a call to chat.
Soulcraft and Wild Mind - Soulcraft Australia (Animas Valley Institute - trainers travel from the US)
Nature-based soul work, engaging deep imagination, ritual and ceremony, myth, dreamwork.
Wild Mind is the healing and wholing work, Soulcraft is the soul work - enabling us to live our deepest purpose.
Possibility Management - Possibility Management Australia (trainers in Australia and Germany) and The Art of Relating
Adult initiation work, feelings-based, new maps for life to support flourishing. Expand the Box and Possibility Labs are offered in five-day intensives.
Somatic Experiencing - Trauma release work (practitioners available in Australia)
Specific healing work around trauma. Absolutely essential in learning how to navigate the nervous system.
Women's Circle
Deep process work in a small community of women. Red Tent Australia is a good place to start if you're looking to connect with a circle.
Michelle has published a number of peer reviewed articles in public health, spiritual care and arts therapy journals. She has also published "A guide to community singing leadership' with Community Music Victoria.
