12-Month Facilitated Group Journey
A structured, gentle pathway into healing, regulation, and meaningful change
A Year of Becoming is a 12-month, facilitated group journey that supports deep, sustainable change through weekly live sessions and ongoing support.
The year includes a 2-night integration retreat, offering a shared space to consolidate and embody the work at an intentional point within the journey.
This is not a quick fix, a drop-in group, or a self-paced course.
It is a carefully paced container for people who are ready to commit to themselves — with support.
Intake is currently closed | Registrations reopen in May 2026
A Year of Becoming is the primary way to experience the Healing Spaces Method.
Over 12 months, you will be guided through a process that supports:
nervous system regulation
emotional awareness and resilience
meaningful daily rhythms
integration of insight into real life
Over time, this process is supported and deepened through a dedicated integration retreat, where the work is given space to settle and take root.
The year is intentionally shaped to include both ongoing weekly practice and a shared point of in-person integration.
You’ll take part in weekly facilitated group sessions, held live on Zoom.
These sessions are:
experiential rather than lecture-based
grounded in therapeutic and trauma-informed principles
structured, but responsive to the group
Sessions include:
guided principles and practices
gentle input
creative and embodied exploration
space for integration and meaning-making
You are always invited — never required — to share what feels right for you.
You’ll have access to a private online tool box that supports the journey throughout the year.
This includes:
orientation and guidance on how to engage with the Method
an overview of The Year of Becoming framework
pillars and principles to support focus and integration
session replays and resources
reflection prompts and practical tools
The resource hub exists to support the live work, not replace it.
Each intake has its own private WhatsApp group, facilitated with clear boundaries.
This space is used for:
gentle reminders
short reflective prompts
a sense of connection between sessions
It is intentionally low-volume and optional.
A 2-night in-person retreat to consolidate and deepen the work
As part of A Year of Becoming, participants are invited to a 2-night integration retreat held during the year’s journey.
Rather than marking a beginning or an end, the retreat serves as a shared point of consolidation — offering time and space to pause, reflect, and deepen the work in an embodied way.
Depending on your intake, the retreat may be experienced earlier or later in the year. This is intentional. The work you bring to the retreat, and the work you carry forward from it, will be shaped by where you are in your own process.
The focus of the retreat is not on learning something new, but on integration.
During this time, we will:
reflect on what has been emerging in the work
consolidate practices and insights developed through the Method
explore how this work is living in everyday life
reconnect with self and others in a grounded, embodied way
The retreat is held with the same care, pacing, and guiding principles that shape the rest of the program.
Duration: 2 nights
Timing: 23 - 25 October 2026 (TBC)
Focus: Integration, reflection, and consolidation
All retreat facilitation and materials are included in the monthly cost of the program.
Travel, accommodation, and meals are not included, allowing participants to make choices that best suit their needs and circumstances. Further details about the retreat location and logistics will be shared during the year.
The retreat is not a separate event, but an integrated part of the year’s process, supporting both what has come before and what continues afterward.
Over the process of the year, participants should notice:
increased emotional steadiness and self-trust
improved capacity to respond rather than react
greater awareness of needs, limits, and rhythms
more consistency with self-care and daily structure
a stronger sense of meaning and direction
Change is supported gradually and sustainably, not through pressure.
This may be a good fit if you:
feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected
are navigating anxiety, low mood, burnout, or transition
value structure but need it to be gentle and humane
want practical support over time, not just insight in theory
are ready to commit to a year of intentional self-work
A Year of Becoming may not be suitable if you:
are looking for quick relief or immediate transformation
are unable to commit to regular attendance
prefer unstructured or drop-in support
need intensive individual therapy at this time
If you're unsure, you're welcome to reach out before enrolling.
A Year of Becoming is full a 12-month commitment.
Weekly sessions are live, and while replays are available, the value of the program lies in ongoing participation and rhythm.
This structure is intentional — healing benefits from continuity.

A Year of Becoming is not about fixing yourself.
It is about learning how to relate to yourself — and your life — with more steadiness, honesty, and care, over time.
If you feel drawn to a slower, deeper approach to healing, you are warmly invited to join us.
It is a year-long, facilitated group journey grounded in the Healing Spaces Method. It combines weekly live experiential group sessions, guided reflection and practices, and ongoing community support.
It is designed to support sustainable healing, emotional regulation, and meaningful change over time — not quick fixes or short-term motivation.
A Year of Becoming is not a self-paced online course, and it is not individual psychotherapy.
It is a therapeutic, experiential group process informed by occupational therapy, trauma-informed care, and nervous system principles. While it can complement individual therapy, it does not replace it.
No.
Sharing is always optional.
You are encouraged to participate in ways that feel safe and appropriate for you. Some people speak regularly; others reflect quietly or engage through the practices. All forms of participation are respected.
Weekly sessions are live, facilitated, and experiential. They may include:
grounding and regulation practices
guided reflection
gentle psychoeducation
creative or embodied exploration
integration and meaning-making
Sessions are structured but responsive to the group.
Life happens.
While regular attendance is strongly encouraged, session replays are available in the Hub. That said, the value of A Year of Becoming lies in rhythm and continuity, so it works best when you attend all the live sessions.
Each intake has a private WhatsApp group that is facilitated with clear boundaries.
It is used for:
gentle reminders
short reflective prompts
a sense of connection between sessions
It is intentionally low-volume and optional. It is not a discussion forum or crisis space.
Yes — many participants will engage in A Year of Becoming alongside individual therapy.
A Year of Becoming can support integration, self-understanding, and daily application of therapeutic work. If you’re unsure about suitability, you’re welcome to reach out before enrolling.
A Year of Becoming is designed to be supportive, paced, and ethically held. However, it is not a crisis service.
If significant distress arises, you may be encouraged to seek additional individual support alongside the group. Clear boundaries are in place to protect both participants and the container.
Currently, enrolment is open during set intake periods. If you are unsure whether A Year of Becoming is the right fit, you’re encouraged to contact us before enrolling.
Intakes may include an application or screening process to support safety and alignment.

Monthly payment (12 months)
Gentle Pace Option (15 months)
The same total investment, spread over a longer period for those who need more financial spaciousness. R1600 per month for 15 months

Because A Year of Becoming is a time-bound, facilitated group with limited spaces, refunds are not offered once the program has begun.
We encourage you to consider your capacity and readiness carefully before enrolling. If you have questions or concerns, please reach out prior to registration.
Group sizes are limited to support psychological safety, connection, and quality facilitation. Exact numbers may vary slightly by intake.
If you feel drawn to:
a slower, deeper approach to healing
structure that is compassionate rather than demanding
support over time rather than short bursts
then A Year of Becoming may be a good fit.
You don’t need to feel “ready” — just willing to engage.
You’re welcome to contact us with questions before enrolling.
Sometimes clarity comes through conversation.
