SACRED WELL QUEST
This is a quest into our deepest longing
Who am I beneath all that I have learned to be and can I trust what life (and my Self) is asking to be lived.
This is a day of exploration through connection to our bodies through movement, presence, inquiry and togetherness.
Details, dates and intention below..... join me in a quest of opening yourself to your truth
Link to the first journey in Taupō, the rest will be coming soon
what lies beyond our fears
Before this became The Sacred Well Quest, it began with this impulse to take myself on a journey into deeper self trust, learning how to keep meeting life as it arises, the practice of letting go of protective identities that have been keeping me stuck in loops, trusting that life is here for me and is working for me, opening me to all that I am... whatever that is ... it is a continual discovery.
A couple of months ago I came to an ending, a deep (uncomfortable) invitation to let something in myself die and to step out and find what it is to live beyond that, something truer within myself. An impulse to discover what it is to open to fear and the unknown, and see what was on the other side. A part of me that of me that was ready to live something that is still unnameable and unknown but alive, pulsing, calling me to live closer an inner truth.
This was about deepening into trust in life and in myself.. Because they are not separate.
And to do that I decided to take myself on a quest and within that quest something else bubbled up. To join with other women along the way.
Because it feels like we need more of this togetherness in our undoings and our authentic expression.
One of the most important things I contemplated as I was conjuring this experience is my why. What is it that I truly want to offer you?
What I feel really clear about is that I am not coming in as a teacher in the traditional sense. There is nothing here that I will teach you that you can simply take away. This is about the magic that happens when we step into the unknown and learn with each other.
What I hope you will take away , if you decided to join me, is what YOU discover about yourself through the experience and that it gifts you more freedom and joy.
This day will be a small and intimate gathering, and after much deliberation I have decided to keep The Sacred Well Quest solely for women, because this feels like part of the feminine quest, the heroine’s journey through the myth of Inanna, learning how to descend, let go and then return.
And I truly hope you will join me.
This is an invitation to step into a full-day immersive journey with me and a guest facilitator ……. a different magnificent and deeply wise woman will join me in each location along the way.
As I continue on my own quest, we meet here, in this one-day opportunity to share and play in the journey together.
THE CONTAINER - THE WELL IN WHICH WE MEET
10:30am – 5:30pm
venues being confirmed as we go
Taupō - with Rachel Phelps - Sunday 9th August - Yoga Tree Taupō
Gisborne - with Rachel Ormsby - Saturday 15h August
Taranaki - with Jacqui Penn - Sunday 23rd August
Raglan - to be confirmed
Thames - with Lynley Russek - Sunday13th September
Together we will move through:
Opening the doorway through awakening your body, sensing inwards through movement, and breathwork.
Descending beneath the familiar through embodied inquiry and relational exploration.
Returning to ourselves through somatic dance, integration and celebration.
At the heart of this experience is the ancient map and myth of Inanna’s descent, a the heroine’s journey into the unknown.
Together we will explore three pieces of this descent:
The willingness to descend into the unknown, to enter into the body, the deeper places within ourselves.
The revealing of the identities, roles, protections and stories that once gave us a sense of power. What are we willing to let go of?
And finally, the return, the reclamation of what we choose to carry back into our lives and into the world.
This is not about fixing yourself or becoming someone new.
It’s not about adding more to you.
Instead it is an invitation to strip back.
It is about your discovery, your trust to listen and respond to this inner pulse within.
It is an invitation to soften, listen, connect, and remember the wisdom that already lives within you.
This is the heroine’s journey.
Will you join me on this quest of self love and self discovery

your guides within this quest
Your teacher is Jody Brown, currently deep within her own quest, a woman dedicated to the path of the heart, the embodiment of our humanity and connection for the purpose of discovering our own rich and deep authentic truth and freedom.
Jody has spent years exploring embodiment and inquiry practices, has been teaching yoga since 2012, has trained in Somatic Therapies, Zenthai Shiastu and Somatic Dance
Her work lives somewhere between somatic devotion, ancient knowing, and “oh wow, I did not expect to feel that today.” She will invite you to soften and then stay long enough to meet what’s underneath the softening.
A lover of depth over noise, presence over performance, and connection over everything, Jody is quietly (and sometimes not so quietly) midwifing a more honest way of being human.
Each location will be co-created with another power woman/wahine and of course each of the women that join us.
