Description
EMBODYING THE SNAKE- an exciting 8-week course exploring Snake Medicine for our Times
with Eva Weaver & special Guests
2025 is the Chinese Year of the SNAKE!
Snakes are creatures of the threshold often associated with initiation, transformation, healing, sexuality and sensuality and creativity.
Join us, as we step into this new year with power, shed what no longer serves us and tap into serpent energy.
As 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 from the last round- guest to be confirmed soon!
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.

Bayari is a sensual alchemist and loves to weave the ancient with the new. Her background is multi-disciplined, from Tantra to Angelic. 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. Alongside this she became a much-loved retreat cook, conjuring nourishing delights. She brings this and her flair for potions to all that she offers. 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.
