Beneath the Surface

Beneath the Surface is a bi-monthly series for those who crave real connection, grounded presence, and depth beyond surface-level conversation.
This is a space to slow down, listen inward, and awaken what’s been sitting quietly beneath the noise of everyday life.

Through a mix of guided dialogue, somatic practice, breath awareness, and small-circle sharing, we explore the places where clarity and real transformation begin. There’s no performance here — just honest enquiry, relational depth, and a return to what feels true.

Facilitated by Jooske Honig (In-Spiral) and Tee Manunui (Transformation with Tee), each gathering offers a warm, trauma-informed field of presence, truth, and compassion. Every session includes a follow-up Integration Evening via Zoom to support what emerges.

Who This Is For

Beneath the Surface is for those who feel the pull toward depth, honesty, and embodied presence.
This is for you if you:

• Crave real, meaningful connection beyond small talk

• Prefer spaces that honour truth, nuance, and emotional literacy

• Are tired of performative “self-work” and want something grounded and real

• Feel ready to explore what sits underneath your patterns, reactions, and stories

• Value community experiences that are gentle, spacious, and trauma-aware

• Want to deepen self-awareness without pressure to perform or impress

• Are seeking a place where you can simply be — authentic, curious, and connected

You don’t need experience with somatic work, breath, or group enquiry.
You just need willingness.

What to Expect

Each gathering is designed as a slow, steady descent beneath the surface — no rushing, fixing, or performing. You can expect:

• Guided group dialogue that opens new perspectives and invites clarity

• Somatic and breath-based practices to help you drop into your body and presence

• Small-circle sharing where you’re heard without judgement or pressure

• Gentle prompts and enquiry to meet the parts of yourself that have been quiet or unseen

• A warm, trauma-informed field held by two experienced practitioners

• A follow-up Integration Evening via Zoom to support what arises after the session

• Community that values honesty, spaciousness, and human connection

You’ll leave feeling more present, more attuned to yourself, and more connected — both inwardly and with those around you.

If you’re ready for meaningful connection, deeper self-awareness, and community that moves at the pace of truth — we’d love to have you with us.
