WE BEGIN THE JOURNEY THURS OCT 30th
This is for those of you whose yearning for closeness is burning. Closeness with the mystery, with the bareness of being. For those who sense the hollow angst of lingering at the surface of life, at the peripheries of realness, who desire to submerge themselves fully into the subtle layers at the depths of living. This is for the broken hearts, the aching souls, the lost and found ones, for those who desire to pour all of themselves into the crucible of
- into the risk of -
aliveness,
for the waking of our senses to serve and savour this one curious life,
in intimacy with,
In devotion,
to it all.

Testimonials. . .
"A journey unlike any other.
This course found me at a huge transitional moment in my life, and I am deeply thrilled that I chose to take part.
Rikke selflessly offers so much of her insightful wisdom, from the very core of her Being. Countless gems that she has uncovered along her own journey, shared in a deep and loving way.
The journey was a deep dive within, touching that which words can’t describe, and somehow transporting that essence into daily life in a way that is both relatable and relevant.
If you are longing to restore enthusiasm and a sense of juiciness in your practice, or Life in general, I cannot recommend this offering enough.
Rikke is an incredible teacher, guide and mentor, who offers constant friendship throughout (and beyond). Her very presence is both grounding and empowering, which can be felt even through the digital realm."

"Rikke, thank you for bringing me home. Thank you for making me feel embodied, awake and safe in my holding field. Thank you for reopening my cells, nervous system and heart to the dynamic aliveness, the innate wholeness and endless curiosity of this life. I am eternally grateful for your wisdom.”
— Lucy C.
"I enrolled in Rikke’s course during a big transitional period of my life. This journey was the sweetest, enriching medicine during a period of intense uncertainty + the practices shared by Rikke really helped to expand my container to meet life with a lens of curiosity + wonderment, softening + surrendering to the mystery of it all. Rikke shares her teachings with such passion + her embodied, non-transcendental approach to spirituality really resonates. Thank you Rikke for such a heartfelt + rich offering, these practices + tools have been so grounding during such an unsettling period of my life."
— Kate B.
"So thank you. There are all sorts of ways the course held me, challenged me, taught me and there are a million stories too - that got a bit unravelled with your help, that it helped me to work through.
The best way to describe it all is that i feel closer to myself. I did most of the practices and watched the videos and heard the mediations sitting on my bed which collects sunlight in the mornings and my skin has changed colour and I feel beautiful and i feel soft. But, mostly, i just feel. Like you said at the start, i want to be moved, i want to be deeply moved.
So thank you. Thank you."
