How to Work with Me

“What lies behind us, and what lies before us, are small matters compared to what lies within us.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Emergent Heroine

Reimagine the Heroine’s Journey for Screenwriters and Forward-thinking Businesses. Learn how the Hero’s Journey came to be blood-soaked and dated. Workshop participants will locate their story or business on this narrative map (and their inner journey), using an innovative relational framework that is relevant to today’s landscape.

Emergent Threshold Sessions

A bespoke, deeply-held 1:1 journey that looks under the hood at themes and patterns keeping you in stasis around your life, leadership or project. This is an embodied realignment and an enlivened, utterly life-changing transformation.

The Emergent Heroine’s Journey

The Hero’s Journey is seen as the only way to lead and write—yet it doesn’t fit many of us. Introducing a contemporary version of Heroine’s Journey. Explore complexity and transformation for your project or business and learn to lead, write, and create from a grounded, embodied place.

Bring this half-day Heroine’s Journey workshop to your organisation. Using a narrative lens as old as storytelling, participants will explore their script, story or business, uncovering hidden patterns & archetypes. Insight and resonance will ripple through all your work.

A relational lens is the antithesis of the Hero’s Journey, which is individualistic in nature. By seeing the interplay between your inner journey and your narrative, you’ll gain clarity, uncover hidden dynamics, and open new possibilities for business, story, character, and embodied leadership.

This workshop is designed to help you:

  • Understand the binary that historically shaped the way we tell stories and lead
  • Learn the stages of this relational Heroine’s Journey model
  • Explore archetypal patterns and themes
  • Key differences between the Heroine’s Journey and the Hero’s Journey
  • Understand the emotional and psychological dynamics driving plot and conflict, leadership and individuals
  • Unlock new layers of insight in your business, story AND life
  • Connect with your authentic voice

Suitable for:

  • Screenwriters, novelists, and playwrights at any stage
  • Directors, producers, screencreatives
  • Entrepreneurs, small businesses and women seeking alternative ways to lead
  • Those keen on using archetypes and myth
  • Anyone who understands that ‘self’ is intrinsically linked to the creative and leadership process

You’ll leave with: insight, inspiration & a stronger connection to your story, business, leadership and (importantly) to your authentic voice.

The best part?

Through experiential exercises, teachings, and creative exploration, you’ll move beyond structural or technical fixes and engage with your work at a deeper, more resonant level.

Emergent Threshold Session

A bespoke, depth process that explores thresholds and what wants to emerge.

If you’ve found yourself here, you sense something isn’t right. And you’re bang on the money.

At a macro level, the heroic and individualistic ideals of the dominant paradigm (ahem – patriarchy) are crumbling. The great turning, as named by eco-philosopher, Joanna Macy, is felt by us as individuals. We feel it in the unsettled nervous system of our bodies, the stuckness of our lives, the conflict around and within us.

On a micro level, there is you: your self, your family, your lineage.
And in amongst all this flotsam and jestam is your emergent self.

Yes, you have a resonant, creative self; it is from this part of you that we will journey.

Together.

Let us descend to the you beyond the story you hold or the one you long to create.
The you beyond your family of origin or even your lineage.
The you beyond linear thinking and even beyond the unconscious patterns that keep you stuck.

Untangle ~ Re-pattern ~ Re-emerge

That is what the emergent threshold session is all about. You will leave with clarity, realignment with your inner compass, and a sense of enlivenment that continues to unfold long after the session ends.

Spaces we’ll navigate

  • Boundaries that ‘protect’ the story
  • Relational Heroine’s journey
  • Folklore, myth & archetype – guides & seers into you
  • Dominant narrative – how patriarchy shows up?
  • Blocks to female-led storytelling and leadership
  • Stuckness – failure to launch, can’t finish, can’t lead.
  • Enmeshment between character &  narrative voice
  • Mother/father wounds
  • Unconscious contracts, grief & loss
  • What was silenced to stay safe & how to step up
  • Loyalty to family at the expense of selfhood
  • Exclusion of family members 
  • Unacknowledged grief in lineage
  • Entanglement with parental or sibling dynamics
  • Every family member has a right to belong
  • Acknowledgment of fate ( unblock the here & now)
  • Loyalties, hidden alliances & betrayals in the system
  • Unconscious influence of family secrets on my life & creativity
  • Reasserting, acceptance, abundance & true leadership
