This is what Selma said about her AFGO journey...
"It’s one of these days. I feel surrounded by an ocean of emptiness. I feel powerless, lost, stuck and trapped.
Last year I would have tried to meet up with friends to have an excuse to drink, I would have pushed away the pain with alcohol, smoking and fucking. I would have eaten a pizza plus crisps. I would have spent a few hours crying, telling myself the stories of my sadness and drowning in them.
This Saturday I offer this beautiful workshop: the inner child re-union.
WHY?
To heal your oldest wounds, to release destructive patterns, to learn how to take care of yourself, to bring joy and playfulness in your life.
HOW?
During this workshop, you will be gently guided to re-unite with your inner-child with the intention of healing one of your deepest wound. The power of the breath will gently guide you to let go of it.
---
This meeting with your inner child doesn't end with the workshop. Once you are connected to your innerchild you can nurture this very special relationship and deepen the healing.
Inner child work is one of the most powerful healing tools. Coupled with breathwork you are up for a deep journey within yourself.

I think we are all surprised that once we slow down a little, how easy it is to connect to ourselves, and, in doing so, we find a different space from which we can live from.
It shows us that the pain we might be in, whether it be physical, emotional or mental....whatever it is, could it all be a result of not been connected to Self?
Yes, connection takes slowing down. And it’s pretty simple and super enjoyable once you get over the initial couple of days...
Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh, one of the world's leading spiritual teachers, is a man at great peace even as he predicts the possible collapse of civilisation within 100 years as a result of runaway climate change.
The 86-year-old Vietnamese monk, who has hundreds of thousands of followers around the world, believes the reason most people are not responding to the threat of global warming, despite overwhelming scientific evidence, is that they are unable to save themselves from their own personal suffering, never mind worry about the plight of Mother Earth.
Thay, as he is known, says it is possible to be at peace if you pierce through our false reality, which is based on the idea of life and death, to touch the ultimate dimension in Buddhist thinking, in which energy cannot be created or destroyed.
By recognising the inter-connectedness of all life, we can move beyond the idea that we are separate selves and expand our compassion and love in such a way that we take action to protect the Earth.
