12-Month Facilitated Group Journey
A structured, supportive space for people who want to live with greater steadiness, intention, and participation in everyday life.
Whether you feel deeply stuck and overwhelmed, or simply know you would benefit from more support, accountability, and meaningful community, this program offers a gentle but structured way of engaging with change over time.
Many people know what helps them — yet still struggle to sustain momentum, follow through consistently, or create rhythms that feel manageable and meaningful in everyday life.
This program is designed to support a gradual shift from emotional exhaustion, inconsistency, and overwhelm toward greater steadiness, self-trust, follow-through, and participation in life again.
Through weekly live group sessions, ongoing community support, and guided integration practices, the work unfolds slowly, relationally, and in a way that can be lived — not just understood.
The year also includes a 2-night integration retreat, offering a shared space to pause, reflect, and embody the work more deeply 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 engage in a slower, more supported way of creating meaningful change over time.

A short conversation to explore whether the program feels like the right fit for your needs, timing, and current capacity.
A Year of Becoming is the primary way to experience the Healing Spaces Method.
Over 12 months, the process is designed to support you in:
feeling calmer and more emotionally steady
rebuilding energy, structure, and momentum
following through more consistently in daily life
developing healthier rhythms, boundaries, and routines
reconnecting with meaning, creativity, and participation in 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 shaped around consistent weekly practice, shared reflection, and ongoing support over time.
You’ll take part in weekly facilitated group sessions held live on Zoom.
Sessions are experiential rather than lecture-based, combining:
guided practices and reflection
gentle teaching and discussion
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 resource hub throughout the year, including:
guidance and orientation
pillars and principles of the Method
session resources
reflection prompts and practical tools
The hub is designed to support the live process, not replace it.
Each intake includes a private WhatsApp group with clear boundaries and gentle facilitation.
This space offers:
reminders and reflection prompts
ongoing encouragement
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. Many participants find that the retreat helps the work feel more real, integrated, and possible to carry into everyday life.
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
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
feeling less stuck and more able to move forward
improved follow-through with daily responsibilities and routines
greater awareness of needs, limits, and rhythms
more consistent engagement in work, relationships, creativity, or self-care
a stronger sense of meaning, direction, and participation in life
Change is supported gradually and sustainably, not through pressure.
This may be a good fit if you:
want to live with greater steadiness, intention, and balance
value emotional wellbeing and personal growth
feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected at times
know what you want to change, but struggle to sustain momentum or follow-through on your own
would benefit from support, accountability, and meaningful community
are looking for a gentler, more sustainable way of creating change over time
want to participate more fully and meaningfully in your everyday life
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. Many people find that consistent participation helps reduce the cycle of starting over repeatedly on their own.

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 — both inwardly and in the practical realities of everyday life.
If you feel drawn to a slower, deeper approach to healing, you are warmly invited to join us.
If you’re unsure whether this is the right fit, you’re warmly invited to begin with a conversation.
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, temporary access to audio recordings may be made available by request for participants who were unable to attend live sessions.
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 include a screening and registration process to support safety and alignment.

optional engagement with the online hub and WhatsApp group
This extended timeframe is intentional — sustainable healing benefits from consistency and time.

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 facilitated, time-bound group process with limited spaces, we encourage participants to consider their capacity and readiness carefully before enrolling.
Participants wishing to withdraw from the program are required to provide 30 calendar days written notice. A cancellation fee equal to one month’s program fee will apply upon withdrawal.
Participants who have paid the annual upfront fee may request cancellation within 7 days of signing the agreement and prior to the start of the program. Once the program has begun, upfront payments are non-refundable.
If you have questions or concerns before enrolling, you are warmly encouraged to reach out.
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.
