EMBODYING THE SNAKE- an exciting new 8-week course exploring Snake Medicine for our Times
with Eva Weaver & special Guests - starts 4th of September
Snakes are creatures of the threshold often associated with initiation, transformation, healing, sexuality and sensuality and creativity.
​
As we learn to navigate the many challenges of our times and in our own lives, we can tune into the energy of snakes for guidance.
Snake are masters of residing in the void, shedding their skins and creating themselves anew.
Snake also has a lot to teach us about embodiment: connecting with love to our bodies, inhabiting our skin, deep listening, resting & nurturing embodied intuition...
Snake Medicine helps us to:
* connect with our gut instincts
* embody our wild, sensual and sexual nature
* live more harmonically with our body's cycles and rhythms
EMBODYING THE SNAKE is an invitation to connect with serpent symbolism through embodied exercises, deep inner journeys, breathwork, free-writing, meditation and other embodied practices within the beautiful container of a supportive group.
Come and enjoy this unique 8-week journey with a series of embodied practises, illuminating talks, time with your journals and open to the wisdom of the snakes.
From these master teachers, we can learn how to shed old layers, outworn beliefs, patterns, trauma and ways of being:
“Shed what does no longer serve you and receive the goodness that is aching to find you…”
​
​
And here is a gift for you, from my heart to yours...

And Thus speak the Snakes...'

‘Now you are stirring,
you are moving underneath my skin,
a murmur rushing in on my breath, gathering momentum,
awakening yourself through my body and through loving mirrors around me'
from'Stirring', poem by Eva
What is Embodying the Snake?
'Embodying Snake' is a magical, collaborative deep dive into the world of Snake Medicine with a blend of embodied practises, such as breathwork, gentle movement, inner journeys, snake medicine teachings, free-writing prompts, group shares and other deliciousness.
What we will explore together:
Week 1-
Transformation - the power of shedding the old
We begin our journey by diving into the most known symbolism of snake: that of shedding & regeneration
Through an embodied ritual you will have an opportunity symbolically shed old skins and move forward renewed.
Week 2 -
Aliveness and Cyclical Living- on right timing and good action…
We explore the natural cycles and what we can learn from snakes: rest & digest, hibernating, shedding, hunting.
Honouring our bodies, life stages and inner seasons.
Week 3-
Intuition, mystery & the snake as shamanic ally-
We explore Intuition grounded in the body, how snakes appear in dreams and shamanic journeys, the symbolism of the ouroboros and the snake as a wise guide.
Week 4-
Tapping into natural sexual energy, connecting with Eros -
This is an evening dedicated to the reclamation of the snake and our sexuality and sensuality as powerful and natural.
We explore the energy of uncoiling and unbinding and the symbolism of Kundalini with an embodied meditation.
Session 5 -
Embodying Power- setting healthy boundaries & facing fears
Teachings from the rattle snake... snakes are known for their ability to set clear boundaries and defend themselves. This session we explore
how snake can teach us about the importance of establishing healthy boundaries that are perceived and expressed in a deeply embodied way.

Creativity, embodied life force & cycles of creation
We explore how snake appears in creation myths across the globe and how it can support our creative expression
and natural cycles of creation.

​
Week 8
Cosmic snake: Snake as oracular ally, alchemical symbol & guide between earth & cosmos
Snake has been connected with spirituality for thousands of years. We explore Pythia, the snake priestess at the oracle of Delphi, how snake became to be a vital symbol of Alchemy and snake as bridge between the earth and cosmic realm.

Eva & her special Guests
Eva Weaver
Eva is a queer author, coach & bodyworker. Her lifelong interest in embodiment, creativity and the power of the erotic has led her to train as an art therapist, breathwork practitioner, Firewalk instructor and eventually as a sexological bodyworker.
Now, she is weaving the creative, embodied and erotic into powerful offerings, be it through Writing from the Body, Wild Write groups, Back to Sex coaching, or Snake Medicine Retreats.
She is also in training with her beautiful Royal Python Syd, her snake companion of seven years and her late snake Myst, who still teaches from the beyond. Eva has been fascinated by snakes all of her life, especially exploring what the snake priestesses of ancient Greece can teach us now. She loves to breathe new life into this tradition whilst honouring this lineage.
Eva has been running workshop and retreats for thirty years, both in the UK and internationally. She brings her unique style of warmth, depth, humour, knowledge and compassion to all of her work, leading people on deep, empowering journeys.
She lives in Saltdean, near Brighton at Phoenix Nest, from which she runs one to one immersions and small retreats.

Bayari Lou Beegan
Bayari is a sensual alchemist and loves to weave the ancient with the new. Her background is multi-disciplined, from Tantra to Angelic. She is a seasoned space holder in Tantra, having supported teachers for years. She also formerly offered 1-2-1 Tantric bodywork sessions called Awakening your Essence..
Alongside this she became a much-loved retreat cook, conjuring nourishing delights. She brings this and her flair for potions to all that she offers.
Bayari is also a Master in Angelic Reiki who runs healing circles and private sessions. This brings a divine holding and connection to the benevolent realms. She has a passion for Oracle cards, too, so this cosmic combination will flavour the retreat as we Enter the Mystery.
Bayari and Eva are life-long friends and colleagues. They met on a workshop delving into the Great Mysteries and continue on this path, hand-in-hand.

Sara Ablinger
Sara Ablinger is a Vienna based bodyworker and workshop facilitator specialised in body positivity, radical self-care & self-love, consent culture, intimacy and conscious sexuality. Bringing Big Body Love also to Germany and the UK, she creates spaces of empowerment, authenticity, connection, pleasure and healing, focussing on the empowerment and participation of marginalised bodies such as queer, fat, disabled bodies.
​
Sara writes:' I was born in Vienna, with Serbian-Austrian roots and grew up on the country side of Salzkammergut, where I early experienced life with all the senses - earthly, sensual, deep. From early on I was interested in ancient wisdom and traditional herbal medicine.
After many years of failed self-optimisation in the sense of society beauty standards, a vicious cycle of eating disorders and other coping strategies, emotional chaos and desperation, a severe immune disease in my early 20s forced me to take time-out and ultimately to reconnect to my body, intuition and all the treasures inside of me.
The training in Integrative Breathwork with Waltraud Degen (Institute Atman) shortly after my illness, taught me the enormous potential and power of the breath for my physical and emotional wellbeing. Breathing instead of pushing through. I was able to listen to my body again. This process of inner listening has become my most important compass in life and every time I ignore, optimise or belittle it, I receive body signals to listen more carefully. Every year those signals get less painful, less loud and my listening more mindful and attentive. But still to this day I am the student of my inner body wisdom.
I participated in many trainings since and I teach and touch people - literally and figuratively - by sharing what I have learned and by accompanying and empowering people on their journeys to their bodies, their desires, boundaries, their sexuality and their resilience.
My super power is my intuition and my authenticity. I am touchable. And I support my clients to activate this superpower within them.
