Depth‑led experiences in self‑compassion, emotional mastery and inner freedom

I work with festivals, retreats, creative communities and values‑led organisations to create talks, workshops and guided experiences that help people turn towards themselves with more honesty, kindness and courage. My work supports people to build a kinder relationship with themselves so change can actually last in everyday life.

I bring together self‑compassion, somatic practice, nervous system regulation and The Soulshine Way Method™ so people don’t just understand the ideas – they feel them in their bodies.

“My work is about creating spaces where your nervous system can exhale, your emotions have somewhere to go, and you can finally meet yourself with the compassion you’ve been offering everyone else.”

– Soulla Demetriou

Festival & large‑group journeys

In festival and large‑group settings, I create body‑first spaces for emotional release, integration and landing back in yourself. Over more than a decade of leading Soulshine retreats with thousands of people, I’ve seen how even a single, well‑held session can shift how someone relates to their emotions, body and life.

Sessions often include:

•⁠ ⁠Powerful group practices for emotional processing and release

•⁠ ⁠Gentle, trauma‑informed prompts that help people meet what’s present without overwhelm

•⁠ ⁠Somatic and nervous‑system‑based tools to move from “holding it all together” into real softness and support

•⁠ ⁠Closing rituals that help people integrate and ground before they re‑enter the rest of the event

Leaders and organisations

Alongside Soulshine, I work with leaders, founders and teams who want to bring more humanity, self‑awareness and nervous‑system literacy into how they work.

I offer:

•⁠ ⁠Body‑first workshops on self‑awareness, emotional regulation and leading from inner enoughness

•⁠ ⁠Guided sessions on listening to your nervous system under pressure

•⁠ ⁠Retreat‑style days for leadership teams that combine teaching, somatic practice and honest conversation

All sessions are trauma‑informed and rooted in Internal Family Systems, somatic practice and nervous‑system‑aware tools.
