The Creative Adultis the child who survived.

The shamanic journey into the inner child

We’ll begin the deeper work with a guided shamanic journey designed to take you inward and invite you to connect with your inner child.

Through rhythm, guided visualisation and deep relaxation, you’ll explore your inner landscape and meet aspects of yourself that may have been forgotten, protected or left behind. Memories, emotions, images, sensations—or simply a feeling of connection—may arise.

There is nothing you need to force. Allow the journey to unfold. We’ll then gently return, creating space to ground, reflect and integrate what arose.

From journey to art — giving the inner child a voice

Next, we’ll move from the inner experience of the journey into art and creative expression, allowing you to communicate what you discovered without needing to explain or analyse everything.

Through colour, shape, texture, imagery and intuitive creative processes, you’ll give form to thoughts and emotions that may be difficult to put into words. Creating can offer another language for your experience, supporting emotional expression, self-awareness, reflection and presence.

You don’t need to be an artist or know how to draw. There is no right or wrong way to create. The emphasis is on expression rather than perfection.

Group energy clearing, subconscious reprogramming & activation

Then Derek will guide a powerful group meditation and energy clearing, working with the subconscious beliefs and patterns discovered throughout the journey.

• Start releasing old beliefs that may be keeping you small, stuck or disconnected from yourself.
• Clear fear, shame, perfectionism, people-pleasing and fear of being seen.
• Let go of self-abandonment, overgiving and needing external approval to feel safe or worthy.
• Reconnect with your authentic creative self and the freedom to express, choose and create.
• Activate feelings of safety, self-trust, worthiness and permission to take up space.

Lighter. Clearer. More grounded. More connected to yourself—with freedom to express who you truly are, without needing to shrink, perform or prove yourself.

Somatic movement, integration & closing

We’ll finish with somatic movement to bring us back into our bodies and feel grounded before coming back together.

There will be space to reflect on what you’ve experienced, what you’ve discovered and what you want to take with you.

Carry your discoveries with you as you explore what comes next.
