Time is of the essence - early support is important An estimated 1.25 million people are affected by eating disorders in the UK – but there are many, many more who may not meet diagnostic criteria or simply don’t get the help they need. Absolutely anyone can be affected by eating difficulties; all ages, all body sizes, all genders, all races, and disordered eating can take many forms. It sits on a spectrum between what might be considered ‘normal eating’ and an eating disorder and may include symptoms and behaviours of eating disorders, but at a lesser frequency or lower level of severity. Eating difficulties don’t just affect the person involved but also their families and friends too, who often feel frightened, confused, and powerless to help. The aim of this live, evidence-based, online training with Jo Baker, a highly experienced psychotherapist, is to give you a greater understanding of eating difficulties as well as eating disorders and body image. You’ll explore the signs and symptoms, and the effects they have on an individual as well as developing new skills around effective communication with someone who is struggling. It will dispel some of the myths around eating difficulties and also help you find ways of calming yourself in moments of overwhelm to ensure you can be as supportive and helpful as you’d like to be… This course is relevant to a range of disordered eating behaviours including: restrictive eating compulsive eating irregular eating inflexible eating avoiding a type of food or food group self-induced vomiting laxative, diuretic, enema misuse supplement misuse clinical eating disorders BONUS RECORDING – you will also get a recording for 2 weeks after the event to maximise your learning.

Lying down meditation - allowing a healing space for the inner child

Medicine Journey: Healing in Community Healing is not a solo journey - all of us require connection, support and accountability to keep us moving in the right direction. Ceremonies open deep doors, but without the right preparation and integration, those openings can feel overwhelming, incomplete and at worst, harmful. This framework is designed to teach and empower you to harness the power of community as an essential vessel for your ongoing healing and growth. What Makes This Different: Harness the Power of Community: By preparing and integrating as part of a small group, you’ll discover how connection and mutual support amplify the transformative potential of your journey. Empower Yourself: By becoming your own healer. We will give you the tools, insights, and confidence to navigate your healing path long after the ceremony itself. Be Part of a Framework for Growth: You’ll join a micro-community that extends beyond the ceremony, offering support, accountability, and resources to keep you grounded, inspired and moving forward. What’s Included: Pre-Ceremony Preparation: Participate in a group call to set intentions, open up, and connect with your fellow participants. Learn how to prepare to get the most out of your medicine journey. Receive a comprehensive guide on how to prepare. 1-1 Consultation: A private consultation with Diego to discuss and decide on the right dose for your journey. You will receive a link to book this call upon booking. The Ceremony: Step into a safe, sacred space for healing in a small group ceremony, where you’ll be supported yet empowered to work by taking your intention directly to the medicine. Integration and Ongoing Support: After the ceremony, you’ll receive a comprehensive guide, join a follow-up call, and continue to thrive as part of a micro-community hub designed to keep you on track. This is a chance to experience a framework of support that can transform one journey into long-lasting growth. Booking Details: Total cost: £300 (balance payable two weeks before the ceremony). £30 non-refundable deposit to reserve your spot. Upcoming Ceremony Dates: Sunday 25th May, 12–6pm (max group 5) Group Call Dates:* Preparation - Monday 19th May, 7-8.30pm Integration - Monday 2nd June, 7-8.30pm *Please note, if you are unable to make a call, you can still join the hub, and will still have access to the same resources. Please take the time to introduce yourself and connect with the rest of the group once you join the hub. Spaces are intentionally limited to keep the group intimate. If you’re ready, you can book your spot today.
