SUMMARY:Somatic Consent, Embodiment & Conscious Relating | Weekend Immersion
DESCRIPTION: \nCome Home to Your Body. Reclaim Your Voice. Transform Your Relationships.\n\nDo you long for deeper connection — with yourself, with others, and with life?\nYet perhaps you notice that beneath that longing, there is often confusion and disempowerment.\nWhy do I say yes when I mean no?\nWhy do I shut down, overgive, or hold back?\nWhy do some relationships feel charged, unclear, or exhausting — even when I deeply care?\nThese patterns don’t come from a lack of intelligence.\nThey come from a disconnection from the body.\n \n\n\n \nThis Training Is an Invitation to Return\n \nThis immersive and experiential weekend is a space to slow down, listen, and reconnect with the part of you that already knows:\nWhat feels right\nWhat doesn’t feel right\nWhere your boundaries and limits are\nWhat you truly want\nThrough a powerful blend of somatic practice, nervous system education, conscious communication, and trauma-informed relational work, you’ll begin to recognise your internal signals — and learn how to respond to them with clarity, choice, and integrity.\nThis is not just something you learn conceptually.\nIt’s something you experience, practise, and embody in real time.\n \n \n\n\n\nWhat Makes This Work Different\n \nThis experiential training teaches you how to understand your personal power and power dynamics, and how to actually notice, feel and live them in your body.\nThis work bridges the gap between conceptual understanding and embodiment. It teaches the skills required to get out of the head and into the body.\n\nWe don’t just talk about:\n~ boundaries, limits and desires\n~ somatic embodiment\n~ consent\n~ intimacy\n~ communication\n~ conscious relating\n~ consensual touch\nYou will practise them — safely, gradually, and with full choice — inside a carefully held, trauma-informed space.\n \n \n\n \nWhat you’ll learn:\n \n~ Nervous system education including the Polyvagul Theory, and how your social engagement system works (survival versus thriving; how to get out of survival and back to thriving).\n~ How to recognise your body’s signals (before your mind overrides them)\n~ How to cultivate the presence required for embodied intimacy (and not be distracted by noisy thoughts)\n~ The difference between a conditioned response and an authentic choice (and why this is so important for being in integrity with yourself and others)\n~ How to access a clear, grounded “yes” and “no”\n~ How to communicate desires, limits, and boundaries with honesty, respect, integrity and care\n~ How to stay present in moments that would usually trigger shutdown, reactivity, or people-pleasing\n~ Non-violent communication skills so you can relate your truth with compassion\n~ How to navigate intimacy and power dynamics with awareness, respect and responsibility\n~ When relating becomes unhealthy/harmful (and when/how to step away)\n \n \n\n\nThe Science Behind the Work\n \nThis training also explores the neurobiology of connection and touch.\nHuman beings are wired for connection.\nOur nervous systems respond directly to contact, proximity, and relational cues.\n\nWhen touch is:\nclear\nconsensual\nattuned\n \n…it can support:\nnervous system regulation\nthe release of oxytocin (the bonding hormone)\nincreased trust and safety\nemotional healing and integration\n \nHowever when touch is unclear, pressured, or mis-attuned — even subtly — it can reinforce stress, confusion, disconnection or trauma.\nThis is why consent, communication, and self-awareness are not optional — they are essential.\nYou’ll learn how to engage with touch and connection in a way that is:\nsafe\nrespectful\nethical\nempowering\ndeeply attuned\n \nNOTE: In this training platonic consensual touch practices are invited as an exercise to notice yourself and how you feel. All exercises are an invitation and it’s important to know that you are still fully participating even if you choose to say no to all exercises that involve touch. What’s most important is you embodying your empowered choice and honouring what feels right for you in your body.\nThere is no nudity or sexual touch in this level one training.\n \n \n\n \nWhy This Work Matters\n\n“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will lead your life and you will call it fate”\n– Carl Jung\n \nMost people are living from patterns they didn’t consciously choose.\nConditioning — from family, culture, and past experiences — shapes:\n~ how you relate\n~ how you respond to drama\n~ what you believe is allowed\n~ what feels safe or unsafe\n~ how you express (or suppress) yourself\n~ your familiarity with connection, intimacy and touch\n~ if touch is intimidating/confusing due to touch deprivation, or if touch has been sexualised\n\nWithout awareness, these patterns quietly run your life and your relationships.\nYou adapt.\nYou ignore your inner authority and override yourself.\nYou try to get it right.\nYou live from the head instead of from your body.\nOver time, this creates:\n~ inner conflict\n~ disempowerment\n~ disconnection from your needs and truth\n~ difficulty in relationships\n~ fatigue and exhaustion\n~ loss of eros, libido and life-force\n\nEmbodiment changes this.\nWhen you learn to notice, feel and track what is happening inside you, in real time, something profound becomes possible:\nYou gain choice.\nChoice to pause\nChoice to respond instead of react\nChoice to speak\nChoice to not abandon yourself\n\nThis is where authentic boundaries, intimacy, and self-trust begin.\n \n \n\n\n\nThis Work Develops the foundations for:\n\nSomatic Awareness & Interoception — the ability to notice, feel and sense what is happening inside you\nMeta-cognition and Self-awareness in real time — noticing thoughts, emotions, and reactions as they arise\nEmotional maturity — the capacity to stay present with yourself and others\nRelational intelligence — understanding dynamics, patterns, and impact\nIntimacy literacy – the skills required for authentic intimacy\nTogether, these allow you to interrupt unconscious patterns and create new ways of being.\n \n \n\n\nThe Result:\n\nWhen you become more embodied:\n~ your “yes” becomes true\n~ your “no” becomes clear\n~ your communication becomes honest\n~ you feel more in integrity (with self and others)\n~ your relationships become more authentic\n~ your connection to self becomes stable\nBoundaries stop feeling like defence or barriers —\nand start becoming pathways to deeper connection.\n \n \n\n\nWho This Is For\n \nThis training is for those who feel ready to take responsibility for their experience and to relate to themselves and others in a more conscious, honest, and embodied way.\n\nYou may recognise yourself here if you:\n~ Feel stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, overgiving, or holding back\n~ Want to feel more confident expressing your needs, desires, and boundaries\n~ Long for deeper, more authentic connection and intimacy\n~ Are curious about conscious touch, consent, and embodied relating\n~ Work with others (therapy, coaching, bodywork, manager/leader) and want trauma-informed, ethical tools (so you’re not serving others from your own shadow)\n~ Want to feel more grounded, alive, and connected to your body\nNo prior experience is needed — only a willingness to explore.\n \n \n\n\n \nWho This Is Not For\n\nThis space may not be the right fit if you:\n~ Are looking for purely theoretical learning without personal participation\n~ Are unwilling to learn how to take responsibility for your own boundaries, communication, and choices\n~ Want others to change without being willing to look at your own patterns\n~ Are not open to working with the body as part of personal growth\n~ Are desiring to be rescued or fixed by someone else\n~ Are seeking intimacy or touch without a foundation of consent, awareness, and mutual respect\nThis is a space of integrity, respectful relating, responsibility, and self-leadership.\n\n \nImportant Considerations:\nThis training offers a deep, experiential process. While it can be profoundly therapeutic, it is not a substitute for psychotherapy, counselling, or medical support.\nAt times, this work may bring unconscious patterns, emotions, or past experiences into awareness. Participants are asked to take full responsibility for their own wellbeing and to engage at a pace that feels appropriate for them.\nThis training is not suitable for those currently experiencing acute mental health challenges, including active trauma overwhelm, severe emotional distress, or symptoms such as psychosis or delusion.\nIf you are currently navigating significant psychological or emotional challenges, or have a history of complex trauma, it is strongly recommended that you are also supported by a qualified therapist or healthcare professional while engaging in this work.\nBy choosing to participate, you acknowledge that you have the internal and external support needed to meet yourself in this process.

Known for her grounded presence and compassionate clarity, Teertha helps others navigate personal power and liberation, transforming pain into power and survival into embodied sovereignty.\nTeertha combines ancient wisdom, nervous system training, and modern science into an inspiring, grounded, loving approach that helps people reconnect to their natural innocence and authentic selves. Her work is a catalyst for deep transformational healing, embodied intimacy, and reclaiming personal power, autonomy, life-force and purpose.\n \n \n\n\nPrivate sessions:\n \nAmongst other things, I also offer this content of training to individuals and couples in personally tailored journeys of embodiment. If you are interested in embarking on a private learning journey with me, please reach out to me for a free consultation to discuss: info@teerthaordish.com\n \n \n\n \nWhat some past participants of the group training say:\n \n“You haven’t done shadow work till you’ve done it with this amazing soul! The workshop gave me a chance to peel back another layer and look honestly at old unconscious defaults. What a mind-blowing experience — a beautiful self-realisation in a safe, loving space.” – Jayne, Dublin\n \n“I kept making the same mistakes and engaging with the same dynamics. This work fine-tuned my awareness and helped me understand why those patterns existed in the first place. I finally see how to stop repeating them.” – Mel, Cork\n \n“I realised how much I’d been missing real connection. This work showed me where I was abandoning myself and helped me invite more love, fun, and authenticity into my life. It’s been a catalyst for healing my relationships.” – Joyce, Dublin\n \n“Through this work I made life-changing decisions — I left a toxic situation, realigned with my truth, and found the courage to stand in my own sovereignty. It helped me see where I was giving my power away and how to reclaim it.” – John, Limerick\n \n“Despite years of therapy, nothing has shifted me as deeply as this. I truly came home to myself. My relationships are healing, and I’m finally making the changes I was afraid to make.” — Rebecca, Cork\n \n“The workshop was a playground for exploring self-responsibility, sovereignty, healthy relating, and authentic communication. I left feeling both grief and deep relief — grief for how far we’ve strayed from this truth, and relief knowing how possible it is to return.” – Jonelle, Cork\n \nFor the full testimonials, see here: https://teerthaordish.com/testimonials/\n \n\n\nZoom interview about this training:\nIn case you like to listen to some FAQ’s about this training, here’s an interview recorded a few years ago about this training:\nhttps://youtu.be/8o4O3I_qs68?si=O38hONBLsFAjinYN  ( https://youtu.be/8o4O3I_qs68?si=O38hONBLsFAjinYN )\n\n
