Come home to yourself.

Heal the child within, rebuild your inner world, and rediscover the soul’s original wisdom.

Begin your journey with the Inner Child.

The Inner Council is a gentle path inward — a journey into the parts of you that were forgotten, silenced, or never fully understood.

Our work begins with the Inner Child, the tender centre of your emotional world, and extends outward into the Inner Village of your inner relationships, and the archetypal wisdom of the Inner Council.

We offer teachings that honour your intuition, your pace, and your natural capacity for healing.
There is no pressure, no performance, and no hierarchy of worthiness here — only a quiet invitation to reconnect with the truth already living within you.

Whether you arrive seeking healing, clarity, meaning, or a deeper relationship with your inner world, you will find a framework that supports transformation through presence, compassion, and self-discovery.
This is a place to remember who you are, and to walk forward with greater openness, balance, and trust.

What is the Inner Council?

The Inner Council is a living collaboration — a shared field of healing, imagination, and inner truth shaped by everyone who engages in this work.

It offers a gentle framework for understanding the inner world, beginning with the relationship we form with the Inner Child.

As this relationship deepens, an inner landscape begins to take shape. We start to recognise the parts within us that protect, nurture, guide, and respond—and we learn to bring these roles into greater balance and cooperation. This creates a more coherent, grounded way of relating to ourselves.

The Inner Council continues to grow through the experiences of those who walk this path. Participants, practitioners, and contributors all add to the evolving field of understanding, allowing the work to develop organically. In this way, the Inner Council becomes a community as much as a framework—a place where inner truth, healing, and imagination are restored through relationship.

Module Overview

Module I

The Inner Child

Foundation of Relationship

Your Inner Child is the centre of your emotional world — the part of you that remembers trust, vulnerability, and joy.

This module helps you reconnect with this inner presence, heal early patterns, and rebuild the inner bond of safety and belonging.

Begin here

Module II

The Inner Village

Harmony and Integration

Once the child is heard and supported, we meet the inner protectors, nurturers, elders, and helpers who form your inner community.
This module teaches you how to cultivate balance among these parts, creating an inner environment where the child can truly thrive.

Begin here

Module III

The Archetypes

The Language of the Soul

When the Inner Village is stable, the deeper mythic forces of your inner world begin to emerge — the Storyteller, the Teacher, the Warrior, the Visionary.
This module opens the imaginal realm and helps you engage with the symbolic intelligence that guides your larger life story.

Who This Work Is For

This work is for anyone who feels called inward —

those who sense there is more to their inner world than the patterns they inherited, and who are ready to explore that landscape with openness and care.

It is for people who wish to:

  • heal early emotional wounds
  • understand their inner reactions and patterns
  • reconnect with intuition, imagination, and inner guidance
  • create more balance, clarity, and trust within themselves
  • restore a deeper sense of meaning and belonging
  • learn to listen to the child within and support them with compassion

It is also for practitioners, guides, and helpers who want to deepen their understanding of the inner world and bring a more soulful, intuitive approach to their work with others.

Whether you are beginning your healing journey or continuing a long path of inner exploration, the Inner Council framework offers a gentle, universal way to meet yourself more fully.

Workshops, Mentoring, and the Practitioner Path

Inner Child Workshop

The first step in the Inner Council journey.

A one-to-one workshop held at your pace, where you reconnect with your Inner Child, understand early emotional patterns, and begin restoring a sense of safety and belonging within.
This workshop can be attended as a stand-alone experience or as the foundation for deeper work within the Inner Council pathway.

Mentoring

Ongoing support after the workshop.

For those who wish to continue the journey, mentoring provides a gentle container for ongoing guidance, emotional integration, and the deepening of your Inner Child relationship.
Sessions are intuitive, reflective, and shaped around what you need most at each stage of your process.

Learn about Mentoring

Practitioner Pathway

For those who feel called to guide others.

The Inner Council Practitioner Path begins with your own Inner Child healing, followed by mentoring, and concludes with the practitioner training program.
You’ll learn how to hold space, support others in their emotional process, and develop the confidence and clarity needed to bring this work into your personal or professional practice.

Testimonials

Real experiences from people who have walked this path.

Jamie Magnant – USA – Inner Child Workshop & Mentoring
“This work opened a depth in me that I didn’t know was possible. Through the workshop and mentoring, I learned to meet my inner child with compassion and to understand the roots of my patterns with clarity and love. The meditations, storywork, and gentle guidance helped me reconnect with joy, forgiveness, and a sense of spiritual belonging. The experience has changed how I see myself and how I move through my life.”

Amy Young – USA – Mentoring
“The mentoring process deepened everything that began in the workshop. My inner child finally felt safe, seen, and understood, and the continued guidance helped me build trust, confidence, and emotional maturity in ways I hadn’t found in other modalities. This work illuminated how my childhood wounds shaped my adult patterns, and gave me the tools to change them with compassion. It has been the most transformative inner work of my life.”

Kathryn Bowen – USA – Practitioner Program
“The Practitioner Program was unlike any training I’ve taken. The one-to-one format created a deeply personal space where I could do my own healing while learning how to guide others. I never felt rushed — just supported, challenged, and seen. This work reshaped my professional practice and my relationship with myself at the same time.”

Tilly Xiurong – Singapore – Inner Child Workshop
“The workshop helped me access emotions I had held inside for years. Each session felt safe and patient, allowing me to understand my reactions, release old pain, and meet myself with more compassion. The writing practices and regressions opened a door back to who I really am. I didn’t expect such profound change from an online format, but it was transformative.”
