PAIN TO POWER WORKSHOP
​
What is it about?
​
This workshop is focused on transforming your pain to power. Through the combination of mindfulness, attention, breath and movement, we will teach you the skills to use your body to find stability and strength. The core feature of mental and physical health is the ability to keep our nervous systems regulated. That is, to balance our sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. When our nervous systems are dysregulated we can feel anxious, stressed and depressed which leads to burnout and related physical health issues. In this workshop we will teach you how to regulate your nervous system through the most powerful tool you have - your breath.
The day is mindfully laid out, with a sequential and progressive structure. Beginning with foundational skill building, which will empower you to face more challenging experiences as the day progresses. Inbetween, you will be nourished with whole foods, smoothies and the beautiful views of nature
All activities are facilitated by professionals, providing you with support along the way.

" What an experience this course was. It took me to difficult painful places, but also showed me I have the strength to overcome my challenges. I recommend this course to everyone who wants to improve their self worth and find their inner strength." - Nicole
" My experience at the Pain to Power workshop was undeniably powerful. The atmosphere was welcoming and open, and Chevonne and Jason were always available for support and to help if anyone was struggling.
I was surprised at how much I was able to surrender and let go to the process.I am glad I did. I came away with a great sense of empowerment, and I felt a lot lighter, having released so much emotion and tension, that I have been carrying around with me for years.
I cannot recommend it enough. I am hoping to take my sisters on the next one!" - Michelle

"It is amazing what your body and mind is capable of. The Ice Bath helps you to separate pain from suffering and also creates a new healthy pathway of dealing with this. I thoroughly enjoyed the breathwork which allowed us to pinpoint where emotions were sitting in the body - this made me realise how emotions can actually physically affect you. The 9D is extraordinary. I can only say to experience it for yourself! I would recommend this workshop to anyone! It was an absolute blessing to me and will be in some way to you as well! Thank you Chevonne and her team for an unforgettable experience!!!" - Margot

" The day can be summarised as a journey of reaching in, letting go of what no longer serves you, to a place of being at peace. Loving oneself for making it this far and having the hope and the tools to face a better tomorrow. The breathing techniques that were taught will come in handy when faced with a difficult situation. The ice bath showed us that we can handle being uncomfortable and how to breathe through it. The 9D sessions was so emotional and people really leaned in to face and let go of obstacles in their life. The symbolic burning of these issues brought closure and finality that those obstacles no longer have a hold in your life. This was a truly amazing day and anybody who see's their way open to attend such a workshop will walk out an enriched person.#daretobebrave." - Barbara

" I was hesitant at first to join the day of uncomfortable obstacles and challenges and didn't realise my capabilities until I was taught the different breathing techniques that can be used for different situations. The small price I paid is nothing compared to the priceless life lessons I've learnt this weekend. I am a better person and look forward to challenges now because I know I can get through anything. Thank you Chevonne, Jason and Wreford. You guys went over and above to provide a very special day that I will never forget. " - Paulo
