Embark on a deep inner journey to realise your true self
Julie’s 8-Week Programme: Returning to Wholeness (Level 2) is for those who have completed our Level 1 Course and feel called to venture deeper in the journey of healing and Self-realisation.
Through weekly in-person group meetups, you will be guided through a deep journey of healing core wounds, breaking free from your conditioning and aligning more with your authentic self and feeling the connection to Oneness.
The program weives together two main trauma healing modalities, Somatic Experincing and Conscious Holding. Each one is powerful in its own right however combined together, they greatly catalyse each other and work beautifully hand-in-hand.
Julie works intuitively sharing the wisdom gained from her own deep inner journey and knowledge accumulated during trainings. The priority is to hold a safe space for you to move through this life-changing process feeling held and supported.
If you would like to arrange a call to discuss further and see if the program feels right for you, we would love to hear from you.

Weekly Group Sessions
In-person group sessions will be held weekly – each session will be for a duration of approximately 3.5-4 hours.
This programme explores two complementary approaches to healing our trauma and awakening:
- Somatic Experiencing™ and embodied awareness.
- Conscious Holding®, a Nondual recognition and consciousness-based inquiry.
These approaches are often presented as separate paths. In reality, they can support one another beautifully when understood correctly.
Breath Healing, as well as Self-Inquiry practices will also be an integral part of this programme.
The weekly sessions will be a gentle, safe and supportive container for you to dive deep into your healing process. You will have the opportunity to connect with the other members on the program and create a sense of community with others on a similar journey as you.
Conscious Holding ™
Conscious Holding™ is a non-duel approach to healing and Self-realisation by Julie Kent. Through this approach, you will learn to give yourself the loving present holding that is needed in order to connect to the parts of yourself which have been suppressed due to past trauma.
You will learn to connect to the pain stored in your body from a place of safety and love. In this space, our pain dissolves and we welcome all parts of ourself back into the whole of our being.
Somatic Trauma Healing
Somatic work is an integral part of the healing journey. Although trauma affects both our mind and body, it is primarily stored in the body. We therefore have to work with the nervous system and felt sense experience in order to heal at a root level.
You will learn about somatic trauma healing on an intellectual level but most importantly, experientially. This will enable you to become your own ‘somatic practitioner’ allowing you to continue independently on your journey once the program has ended.
The approaches included are: Somatic Experiencing®, Compassionate Inquiry®, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Conscious Holding™.
Breath Healing
Working with the breath alone can create enormous shifts and transformation in our health. You will become more aware of your current way of breathing and how it is directly connected to your nervous system, physical health and emotional wellbeing.
As you start to unravel your conditioned way of breathing, you will move towards a healthy breath and a regulated nervous system. You will learn how to use your breath to support you in your life going forward.
Self-Inquiry
Through the approaches of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Somatic Experiencing®, we will guide self-inquiry practices, supporting you to turn inwards and explore the landscape of your inner world. During this process, you will begin to recognise your self-limiting beliefs, conditioned behaviours and the lens through which you perceive life.
As your awareness deepens, the suppressed parts of yourself will begin to emerge from the unconscious into the light of consciousness. From here, you can start to see, understand and compassionately hold these parts with love, allowing healing and integration to naturally unfold.
Additional Support
To help you integrate all of the teachings, you will receive worksheets and access to a library of audio practices to support you in your daily life. These include:
• Nervous system regulation relaxation practices
• Somatic Experiencing® guided meditations
• Conscious Holding™ guided practices
• Somatic yoga practices
• Breathwork practices
As you continually integrate these practices into your life, these practices gradually become embodied – they are no longer something you ‘do’, but become a natural part of how you live and relate to yourself. Over time, you begin to move through life from a more connected, grounded and present way of being.

The Three Stages of the Box analogy/metaphor and its relation to healing trauma and awakening
Many years agao I came across an annalogy of awakening using the metaphor of a ‘box’, I loved it and it stuck with me
Stage 1: You are in a box and do not know you are in a box
At this stage we are fully identified with our thoughts, emotions, conditioning, stories, and coping mechanisms. In this stage people can experience a lot of emotional pain, or may feel more numb. They are not connected to them self and connect feel deep connection to others We experience ourselves as separate to Oneness.
It is often a very painful place to be. Those that become more numb may not feel this pain.
The box is invisible because it is mistaken for reality itself. All that we identify with as real such as our thoughts, beliefs and all the pain we feel.
Stage 2: You are in a box and know you are in a box
When are Awareness begins to awaken.
We become aware of:
- conditioning
- trauma patterns
- emotional
- limiting beliefs
- nervous system responses
This is often where healing work begins.
We recognize the box, but we still experience ourselves as being inside it.
Many therapeutic and somatic approaches operate here. I believe it can be very helpful to move though this stage with Somatic work
Stage 3: You realize there is no box
As we continue on our journey of awakening, we may get to a place where we are feeling the calling to expand even greater. To realize the truth of who we really are. This Ocean, this Oneness is not separate from us but we are actually the whole ocean in a drop. We begin to feel the pain of not fully realizing this as an experience. awareness may recognize that the boundary itself is not what it appeared to be.
The separation between begins to soften.
This does not mean pain disappears.
It means pain is no longer experienced from the same sense of contraction and limitation.
Awareness recognizes itself as larger than the structures that previously defined identity.
