Love Is...

The Sunshine Coast Self-Love Collective Presents

LOVE IS...

Be part of the community discovering the love within through play, conversation and embodiment.

Journey alongside us for a one-day event on the Sunshine Coast, to come together and inquire into love. 

Facilitated by members of your community committed to supporting this collaborative discovery of the love within.  

What will I get from this event?

This is a day of self-inquiry and discovery, and everybody will get something different, depending on where we are at and the intention for joining. We may experience:

• deeper self-awareness

• a renewed sense of playfulness and joy

• renewed connection with self

• meaningful connections with others

• moving in the world with an open-heart and coming from love

• awareness that you are the creator of the love you cultivate within

• prioritising the connection to love from within, allowing our words and actions to ripple outwards from this space.

We will offer possibilities, inspiration and guidance for "What's next" in this journey of Love.

Everybody is welcome.

MEET THE PRESENTERS

Free is a Zenthai Shiatsu therapist, offering Life Coaching, Relationship Support and Couple’s Treatments alongside Kahu, his beloved. In addition, Kahu is a women’s wellbeing mentor and offers regular communal heart songs.

Their Life Coaching & Relating-ship Support sessions offer a safe space to be heard – for ‘hearticulation’ to take place (your heart to speak) and for realisations and resolutions to be experienced by yourself and within your partnership.

Free will initiate a focus on what questions about Love are alive as a 'quest-i-on' and invite folks to share openly their personal 'theme' of their curiosity to facilitate fun, interactive and playful sharing of what is alive in each of us regarding the overall theme of love.

To learn more, please head to Free and Kahu's website, Facebook or Instagram.

Paul, a Sunshine Coast based bodyworker and facilitator, is deeply passionate about human connection and the power of physical touch.

Drawing on a variety of movement and communication practices, he holds space in both 1 on 1 bodywork sessions and group workshops.

In menswork, he supports men to move from their head into their feeling body and offers a space to speak of the things that are often deemed taboo.

Paul loves a challenge and is likely to guide you to the edges of your comfort zone. However, while his focus is clear and his guidance precise, his presence is of a warm and compassionate nature.

Arika Yaeli is passionate about creating spaces for community to come together, go beyond the mind and reconnect with the ever-present love within. She believes that global transformation begins within and that our most powerful offering is our own transformation.

For much of her life she focused on transforming her own feelings of disconnection. Through this process, she discovered that true love and fulfilment aren’t found in personal transformation alone, but in collective growth. Now, with her 3 home-educated sons becoming independent, Arika is focusing on facilitating and participating in community transformation.

"Love Is..." emerged from the observation that many seek love externally. Inspired by her own tendencies to look "out there," Arika envisioned a space for the community to explore the source of love with curiosity, wonder, an open-mind and an open-heart.

Arika guides us to soften the mind, open the heart and reconnect with ourselves as part of all of existence.

To learn more, please head to Arika’s website or Facebook.
