[Free Live Workshop]
Embodied Spirituality:
Practical Inquiries for Embracing
Every Part Of You
In this live workshop, I will be guiding you through a set of gentle—but direct—practical inquiries to help you move towards greater wholeness by revealing unconscious identities and conditioning.
What you’ll learn:
Reveal identifications/parts of you that are hidden or so obvious you didn’t notice
Deepen your embodiment in service of freedom and wholeness
How to inquire with curiosity and non-judgement
I’ve spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to be happy :)
I have discovered that living with freedom, wholeness and integrity is a direct result of revealing and integrating our identities (beliefs about who we are) and conditioning (learned patterns of thinking, feeling and reacting). Including the identities we project onto others and the world.
This process reveals that within us which has no (conceptual) identity and is unconditioned: our Being.
And I would love for you to recognise this, as well.
The tricky thing is that many of these layers are hidden and unconscious. Or so taken-for-granted they feel like ‘reality’ rather than a conditioned part of us.
The aim of this workshop is to help you to reveal these deeper identifications in service of deepening our embodiment and living with greater wholeness, integrity and freedom.
Workshop Content
Identity: brief introduction on the nature of identity and inquiry
Inquiry: contemplating individually, as a group and possibly in smaller break-out rooms
Discussion: sharing & Q&A
Further resources: ideas for further practice, reading, learning and so on
This workshop will largely consist of guided inquiries around specific topics. We will be contemplating certain juicy topics individually and in groups, writing down what comes up.
There will be opportunities to share and discuss what comes up (with no obligation to reveal anything which feels too personal or private).
Some examples of areas we may be working with:
Smallness: where we hold onto hidden identities to keep us small
Authority: where we doubt ourselves and create others as authorities
Emotions: unconscious beliefs that repress our emotions
Desires: what desires do you repress, deny or reject?
Shadow traits: what ‘negative’ traits do you deny in yourself and project onto others?
Golden shadow traits: what ‘positive’ traits do you deny in yourself and project onto others?
Note: we will work gently, but there is always the possibility that triggers may arise. I will be going through emergency measures to help people manage this eventuality. Safety is paramount.
Note 2: This is a follow-up to my previous workshop The Essence of Embodied Spirituality. If you register you will get a recording of that workshop, which will help contextualise this work. Though it’s by no means necessary.

About Ben
Hi, I’m Ben. I’m a somatic therapist that helps people to release the mental, emotional and spiritual blocks to greater freedom and authenticity.
The insights in this class come from my own journey from being a numbed-out alcoholic to having deep insights into my True Nature.
And from my deep desire for Truth, which has led me through many thousands of hours of meditation, inquiry, and somatic therapy as well as encounters with psychedelics and plant medicines, and dialogues with countless teachers and guides.
I am deeply and continuously curious about how my mind and body create my experience of the world (and my suffering!). One of the skills I have picked up on the path is a keen sense of discernment, being able to distinguish what works from what doesn’t. This has helped me to pick my way through the different teachers, teachings and practices and discern the principles that lead to real transformation, rather than just keeping our wheels spinning.
I’m a Kiloby Inquiries facilitator (an embodied spirituality modality) and a Senior Practitioner of Embodied Processing (a bottom-up methodology for healing trauma).
“It was a really enjoyable workshop, and Ben is clearly very skilled and it was great overall. You can tell that a lot of love and work went into this. Good material and really well presented. I think the mongoose as a personification of stuck energy or unresolved trauma was a cool and original way to present the complexities of addiction/cravings.”

Testimonials for my work and workshops
““Ben is the most amazing, caring, and knowledgeable therapist - one of the very few professionals I've worked with who I feel really 'gets it'. I feel completely safe in his sessions to experience, process, and express the deep dark stuff that most other people I've worked with couldn't handle. I can't recommend him highly enough.”
—Caroline, EP practitioner
“Just wanted to thank you for an incredible workshop yesterday. I got so much out of your fresh, down-to-earth, accessible and beautifully human approach to talking about emotions and embodying them. Just loved it the interactive nature of it too, getting to try out the techniques first hand. I plan to do a daily practice to explore my own emotions & nervous system now. Thank you. So grateful. ❤️”
—Gretel, EP practitioner, testimonial for embodying emotions workshop
“The workshop was insightful, full of great knowledge and concepts. It felt like it came from an authentic place and Ben's lived experience, rather than just "read" and taken out of mouths of other teachers, which is what so many "spiritual gurus" out there sound like! Thank you Ben!”
