EMBODYING THE SNAKE- an exciting new 6-week course exploring Snake Medicine for our Times
with Eva Weaver & special Guests

Snakes are creatures of the threshold often associated with initiation, transformation, healing, sexuality and sensuality and creativity.

As we learn to navigate the many challenges of our times and in our own lives, we can tune into the energy of snakes for guidance. 
Snake are masters of residing in the void, shedding their skins and creating themselves anew. 

Snake also has a lot to teach us about embodiment: connecting with love to our bodies, inhabiting our skin, deep listening, resting & nurturing embodied intuition...

Snake helps us to:
* connect with our gut instincts
* embody our wild, sensual and sexual nature
* live more harmonically with our body's cycles and rhythms

EMBODYING THE SNAKE is an invitation to connect with serpent symbolism through embodied exercises, deep inner journeys, breathwork, free-writing, meditation and other embodied practices within the beautiful container of a supportive group.

Come and enjoy this unique 6-week journey with a series of embodied practises, illuminating talks, time with your journals and open to the wisdom of the snakes.

And here is some more background on Eva & her Guests:

Eva Weaver

Eva is a queer author, coach & bodyworker. Her lifelong interest in embodiment, creativity and the power of the erotic has led her to train as an art therapist, breathwork practitioner, Firewalk instructor and eventually as a sexological bodyworker.
Now, she is weaving the creative, embodied and erotic into powerful offerings, be it through Writing from the Body, Wild Write groups, Back to Sex coaching, or Snake Medicine Retreats.

She is also in training with her beautiful Royal Python Syd, her snake companion of four years and her late snake Myst, who still teaches from the beyond. Eva has been fascinated by snakes all of her life, especially exploring what the snake priestesses of ancient Greece can teach us now. She loves to breathe new life into this tradition whilst honouring this lineage.

Eva has been running workshop and retreats for thirty years, both in the UK and internationally. She brings her unique style of warmth, depth, humour, knowledge and compassion to all of her work, leading people on deep, empowering journeys.
She lives in Saltdean, near Brighton at Phoenix Nest, from which she runs one to one immersions and small retreats.

She is a seasoned space holder in Tantra, having supported teachers for years. She also formerly offered 1-2-1 Tantric bodywork sessions called Awakening your Essence.

Bayari is also a Master in Angelic Reiki who runs healing circles and private sessions. This brings a divine holding and connection to the benevolent realms. She has a passion for Oracle cards, too, so this cosmic combination will flavour the retreat as we Enter the Mystery.

Sara Ablinger

Sara Ablinger is a Vienna based bodyworker and workshop facilitator specialised in body positivity, radical self-care & self-love, consent culture, intimacy and conscious sexuality. Bringing Big Body Love also to Germany and the UK, she creates spaces of empowerment, authenticity, connection, pleasure and healing, focussing on the empowerment and participation of marginalised bodies such as queer, fat, disabled bodies.

Sara writes:' I was born in Vienna, with serbian-austrian roots and grew up on the country side of Salzkammergut, where I early experienced life with all the senses - earthly, sensual, deep. From early on I was interested in ancient wisdom and traditional herbal medicine.

After many years of failed self-optimization in the sense of society beauty standards, a vicious cycle of eating disorders and other coping strategies, emotional chaos and desperation, a severe immune disease in my early 20s forced me to a time-out and ultimately to reconnect to my body, intuition and all the treasures inside of me.
The training in Integrative Breathwork with Waltraud Degen (Institute Atman) shortly after my illness, taught me the enormous potential and power of the breath for my physical and emotional wellbeing. Breathing instead of pushing through. I was able to listen to my body again. This process of inner listening has become my most important compass in life and every time I ignore, optimize or belittle it, I receive body signals to listen more carefully. Every year those signals get less painful, less loud and my listening more mindful and attentive. But still to this day I am the student of my inner body wisdom.

I participated in many trainings since and I teach and touch people - literally and figuratively - by sharing what I have learned and by accompanying and empowering people on their journeys to their bodies, their desires, boundaries, their sexuality and their resilience.

My super power is my intuition and my authenticity. I am touchable. And I support my clients to activate this superpower within them. If you want to activate your superpower, get in touch!
