Rest and Receive

Rest and Receive:

for hard-working, ambitious women who desire deeply nourishing downtime and true rest this winter.

Special Offer for Winter 2024/25

Includes live 'wild idling' sessions with Erika

Wild idling is a beautifully curated, shared and sacred space, designed to support women like you to think, reflect, process, digest, contemplate, day-dream, imagine, restore and rest. It is a game-changer for overwhelmed, ambitious women and often a missing piece in their busy lives.

Wild idling reconnects you with your essence: uncovering your truest relaxed self, your most powerful ideas, and your deepest wisdom.

How it works:

Arrive with a guided practice to ease you into a restorative, relaxed state.
Experience an hour of shared, supported and sacred downtime.
End with reflection questions and optional debrief, to harvest what was revealed in the restfulness.

Live Dates:

11th & 18th December 2024

8th, 15th & 22nd January 2025

5:30pm to 7:00pm UK time

A cosy six-week container for ambitious, visionary women who've worked hard all year and are longing for deep rest, peace and relaxation this wintertime.

This is your chance to exhale, slow down and re-connect with yourself after a busy year, without feeling guilty (or the world falling apart while you take a break!)

Rediscover the amazing woman you are - underneath the roles you play, the busy schedules and the constant hard-work.

These dark months are the perfect time to nourish your nervous system, come home to yourself and reconnect with what matters most in your life.

A word about holiday season:

The culture can get so crazy and stressful over this festive season, when actually, we are all meant to be slowing down and doing less!

You can choose to do it differently this year.

I've designed this programme to help you find deep peace amidst the madness.

Allowing you to receive the goodness of this season, instead of always being stuck creating magic for everyone else, at your own expense.

Does this sound familiar?

You're an ambitious woman with a big vision for your life and high standards for yourself. You’ve been working hard towards your goals, juggling competing demands, and taking care of those you love.
Recently, it’s started to feel like a constant struggle. Your plate is too full, everything feels urgent and you never reach the end of your to-do list. It’s unsatisfying and exhausting.
You’ve been slipping into feeling overwhelmed and stressed more lately, you know you’ve lost perspective, but you can’t quite catch your breath long enough to properly reset.
You long to take a pause, and reconnect with yourself more fully, but it never seems to be the right time. If you’re honest, the thought of slowing down creates a knot of anxiety inside you. There’s a fear that if you stop, you’ll lose what you’ve worked so hard to achieve.
You fear you’re missing the good things in life as they happen now. In all the hard work towards your future goals, you’ve lost sight of what’s most precious. You don’t want to keep delaying your pleasure and presence for a mythical ‘tomorrow’. And you don’t have to.

In this course I’ll support you to:

Carve out time for you and your pleasure, without feeling guilty, or the world falling apart in your absence.
Feel safe enough to fully relax and let go of needing to perform, ‘do it all’ or have everything be 'perfect'.
Create nourishing and restorative moments of restfulness and peace, allowing you to reset your nervous system and show up more fully for the things and people you love.
Be more relaxed, present and have more fun, while savouring the deliciousness of your life right now - in all it's imperfect, messy glory.
Refill your own cup and feel grounded, rested and reconnected.
Reconnect with what’s most precious to you and set your priorities with perspective and pleasure in mind.

Hi, I'm Erika.

What makes me the right coach /mentor for you?

Recovering over-achiever and HSP. I’m right here with you, on my own journey of de-conditioning from toxic productivity and hustle culture, learning to embody a gentler, more nourishing way to live.
Leading with body-based wisdom. I’m an embodiment coach for smart, successful women who ‘know’ all this stuff cognitively but struggle to fully integrate it into their bodies and daily life in a meaningful way.
A shame-free, fiercely compassionate liberatory approach. Too often in these spaces, women are blamed for the struggles they experience, deepening shame and self-hatred. None of that here. I believe you’ve been shaped by a culture that was not designed to support your thriving. There’s nothing wrong with you, there’s something very wrong with the culture.

What you'll receive inside this offering:

Six weeks of narrative shifting, nervous system nourishing content to listen to in your own time, around your schedule.
A variety of powerful body-based practices to help you sink into deep rest, ease and loving presence.
Simple, short exercises that can be done in busy moments, allowing you to integrate this new way of being into your everyday life.
An embodied seasonal planning process. Designed to help you plan your next 3 months from a grounded sense of enoughness, and with what’s most important at the forefront.
Five live online sessions with Erika, for 90 minutes of 'wild idling' in December and January.
Access to all the materials for 'life' (or as long as I continue to host the course online)

Rest & Receive has been potent medicine for me, reminding me of the cultural and political/social context I'm living in, and how counter-cultural it is to say no, to stop, to ease back and refocus. I feel mentally and physically rested from this constant background noise - thank you Erika! I can hear myself better and I'm much clearer on how I want to journey through the next few months, into springtime and the beginning of my personal year.

If you are considering this course, I would say don't think about the words 'rest' and 'receive' with your mind - I know to me they conjured up 'slow down and become inactive', but now having done the course, I can see it has not been about that at all. It has given me the ability to listen to what my body needs, to love myself and trust that I know what I need for me. It has allowed me to soften and ground deeply, to notice what feels good, and to open to receive that nourishment. So, if you would like to notice where your energy is being used and what nourishes your body and soul, then this is the course for you. You might be surprised how much you need this in your life. Erika held a beautiful space where I discovered less is so much more💜

Working with Erika has given me a heightened awareness of what brings me joy – spending time with family and friends, and immersing myself in nature. These are the moments that truly matter to me, and I've learned to prioritise them. I've also gained insights into why I sometimes get stuck with work – overcoming fears and allowing myself to rest and be creative has made a world of difference. I can proudly say that I've completed my online course, overcoming my fear and finding inspiration in trusting the process.

Tracey P

Thank you, Erika. I haven't given so much attention to me since I don't know when. Everything starts and ends with me. That will be my focus moving forward. One of my biggest takeaways has been giving myself permission to rest, which I am now able to do without any anxiety or guilt. Pleasure and appreciating myself without justification or validation will now be on my weekly planner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is embodiment weird? Do I need to be athletic to take part?

Nope, not weird and not athletic. There’s no chanting or anything that’s too ‘woo’. I’m soulful, and I believe in nourishing the imagination in my work, but I also highly value the intellect and our lived experience. So expect pragmatic, practical teaching with clear exercises you can easily do, with an emphasis on you experimenting and finding what works for you. But also with poetry, music and myth in the mix.

How much time do I need?

I recommend that you allow a minimum of one hour a week for the six weeks. But, you’ll have access forever (or at least, for as long as I continue to host the course on an online platform), so you can always go back and watch them again and again. In fact, I recommend you do!

Is this a trauma course?

No. I'm not a therapist and if you are actively experiencing trauma symptoms, this course may not be for you. One of the reasons embodied coaching is so effective is that it can go deep very quickly and sometimes this means it touches into layers of emotion. A level of resilience is assumed and we trust you to make that call when you purchase.

What about refunds?

Due to the nature of online courses, with purchasers receiving content immediately upon purchase, there are no refunds available. Please purchase mindfully, all purchases are final.
