The body
Sensation can carry important information—and memory, fear or conditioning.
An eight-week live experiential programme
Embodied Decisions
What happens when we make consequential decisions using only a fraction of the information available to us?
When there is no obvious right answer
Some decisions cannot be solved by thinking harder.
You may understand the situation perfectly and still feel unable to move. Your body says one thing, your mind another. Desire, fear, responsibility, intuition and practical reality may all seem to carry their own truth.
This work is for decisions that remain alive after you have made the lists, talked to friends, researched the options and tried to reason your way through them.
Embodied Decisions is a practice of staying with this complexity long enough for a more integrated direction to emerge.
- 01
Moving repeatedly between two possibilities
- 02
Unsure whether a strong feeling is intuition, fear, habit or protection
- 03
Sensing that something needs to change without yet knowing what
- 04
Making decisions that look sensible but do not feel inhabitable
- 05
Waiting for complete certainty before allowing yourself to move
Multiple forms of knowing
The body is not an oracle. Neither is the mind.
The problem is not always a lack of information. Sometimes several forms of knowing are present at once, and they have not yet learned how to speak to one another.
The mind
Logic can reveal constraints and consequences—and rationalise what we already believe.
Imagination
Image can open possibilities that do not yet exist—and amplify fantasy.
The work is not to find the one part of you that always knows the truth. It is to listen, differentiate, test and integrate multiple kinds of information.
This work may be for you if…
You are at a threshold.
In your work, relationships, creative life or identity—and there is no objectively correct answer.
- 01
You tend to overthink important decisions.
- 02
You sense a great deal internally but are unsure how to interpret it.
- 03
You understand yourself well, yet understanding does not produce movement.
- 04
You want to include practical reality without abandoning inner experience.
The eight-week programme
A decision becomes a living laboratory.
A live, practice-based group programme combining somatic exploration, reflective inquiry, imaginal work and real-life decision practice. Each participant brings a question genuinely alive in their own life.
01
Week 1
Mapping the Decision
We explore:
- The actual decision you are trying to make
- What is known, unknown and assumed
- The options currently available to you
- What makes the decision feel difficult
- What would change if you made no decision yet
02
Week 2
Reading Bodily Signals
We explore:
- What happens in the body when you imagine each option
- Changes in breath, posture, tension, energy and attention
- Impulses to move toward, away from or pause
- The difference between sensation and the meaning you give it
- Which responses remain stable across moments and contexts
03
Week 3
Fear, Intuition and Habit
We explore:
- How fear shows up in your body and thinking
- How familiarity can be mistaken for safety
- How urgency can be mistaken for certainty
- Recurring protective or avoidant patterns
- Whether a response belongs to the present or to past experience
04
Week 4
Working with Inner Conflict
We explore:
- The different parts of you that want different outcomes
- What each position is trying to protect or gain
- Conflicting needs, values and responsibilities
- What you fear losing with each option
- Whether both sides contain useful information
05
Week 5
Finding the Missing Option
We explore:
- Assumptions that make the decision look like an either/or
- Alternatives you may have dismissed too quickly
- What you would want if feasibility were temporarily removed
- Images, metaphors and dreams connected to the decision
- Third options, hybrid options and staged approaches
06
Week 6
Reality Testing
We explore:
- Money, time, energy and practical constraints
- The impact of the decision on important relationships
- What information you still need before deciding
- The difference between facts, predictions and fears
- Which constraints are fixed and which could change
07
Week 7
Testing Before Committing
We explore:
- Which parts of the decision are reversible
- Small experiments that can generate new information
- Conversations, visits, trials or prototypes you can do first
- What happens after a small step toward each option
- The smallest meaningful action available now
08
Week 8
Integrating and Moving Forward
We explore:
- What has changed since the beginning
- Which signals have become clearer or less important
- What uncertainty still remains
- What feels coherent enough to act on
- Whether the next step is a decision, experiment or deliberate pause
From certainty to coherence
A mature decision does not always feel certain.
The goal is not to become someone who never doubts. It is to develop a different relationship with uncertainty.
But a direction can begin to feel coherent enough to inhabit.
- 01
Recognise what different internal signals are telling you
- 02
Remain present when different parts of you want different things
- 03
Discover options beyond an apparent either/or
- 04
Include practical reality without abandoning inner experience
- 05
Act without needing every ambiguity to disappear first
From related 1:1 work
“It gave me another way of meeting what was happening, rather than trying to solve it from my head.”
Embodied Decisions is a new group programme launching in 2027. This reflection comes from related individual work.
2027 live cohort
AUD $980
Or three instalments of AUD $340.
Eight weekly live online sessions, short guided recordings and embodied experiments between sessions. Bring one live decision—or a recurring way of becoming stuck—and learn a process that can continue beyond the programme.
Educational and experiential in nature. The programme does not provide therapy, financial or legal advice, and no particular decision outcome is promised.

Before you decide.
What kinds of decisions can I bring?
The work can be used with meaningful personal, professional or creative decisions—particularly when analysis alone has not produced clarity.
Do I need to have a specific decision in mind?
Not necessarily. Sometimes the starting point is simply a sense of being at a threshold, pulled in different directions, or aware that something needs to change.
Will you tell me what decision to make?
No. The purpose is not to outsource a decision to another person.
We explore the different forms of information involved—bodily responses, thought, emotion, imagination, fear, desire, obligation, practical constraints and uncertainty—so that more of what is shaping the decision becomes available to you.
The decision remains yours.
What if I still don’t have an answer at the end?
A particular answer is not guaranteed. Useful work may involve recognising the actual question, differentiating competing signals, discovering what information is still missing, or becoming more able to remain with uncertainty while choosing the next meaningful step.
