UNMASK Autumn 2025

UNMASK is a space for neurodiverse & feral women to come home to the Body. 

It's for those of us who have razor-sharp sensitivity and a built-in incoherence radar - whether we like it or not. 

It's for the porous ones who pick up on the unspoken undercurrents and who accidentally merge a bit too much with their environments, forgetting their own Shape and edges in the process.

It's for the women who know we have a unique flavour of Weird to bring into this world - but it's gotten a bit stuck in an overwhelming mix of sensations, impulses, imprints and conditioned habits. 

It's a space for the women who move through the world Body-First. 

Sometimes, the amount of feedback we receive in our bodies can be so intense that we end up drowning in it. We don't know how to move through or interpret what we are feeling and sensing.

Many of us who are wired this way - with a dialled-in sensitivity that we cannot get around or on top of - have learned to cope by pretending we are not who we are or attempting to live up to neurotypical standards or ways of being.

We learn to quieten that guttural, felt-sense knowing or flickering, embodied impulse - because we don't have the map to make sense of it.

Because it feels dangerous to trust it. Because we learned to suppress our natural instincts to fit in. Because other people have told us it isn't OK to follow our bodies. Because it wouldn't fit in with what 'normal' or 'allowed' looks like.

We often carry an innate porousness - which is a beautiful thing - but we can end up over-extending this sensitivity in the wrong direction. We lose ourselves in our relationships because our body's high-functioning mirror neuron capacity blurs the lines between us and Other. We struggle to maintain a felt-sense connection with our own edges, boundaries and needs. 

Still, we can't shake the feeling that our Body is the way... But sometimes it's a lot to manage and feel, by ourselves.

UNMASK is a space to come into deep relationship with the wild, intelligent current of Life that is always moving through us and speaking to us, in and through our bodies. In a supportive community of others who get it. 

Because many of us have learned how to mask in order to survive, we also tend to have an immense capacity for adaptability, resilience, camouflage and creativity. In UNMASK, we draw upon this gift to feed ourselves and our own lives. We practice turning around the sword of our sensitivity - so that instead of getting burned by it, we can begin to follow its crazy wisdom. We discern when a mask might be an intelligent, appropriate response to a certain situation, person or environment - and when it might be the moment to let a little more of us be felt. 

Essentially, UNMASK is a practice space for:

- Letting your Body lead & Unmasking the Soma
- Staying with You, instead of Shapeshifting for Other
- Cultivating the Gift & Sword of your Sensitivity, to nourish your life
- Radically trusting & sharpening your instincts
- Recognising your innate limits, and Loving On Them Hard
- Letting yourself be the Feral, Messy One you secretly are
- Exploring the neurodiverse tendency to overadapt & camouflage 
- Discerning which masks and camouflages are useful or practical, and where they are dimming down our unique creative power
- Taking care of our amplified sensory antennae
- Honouring the gifts & challenges of feeling the unspoken undercurrent
- Deep embodied listening, impulse-following & nourishment

... So you can feel more You, in all your flavours.
