“The times are urgent … Let us slow down.”
Bayo Akomolafe
Importantly, wherever Coming to Life holds space across this continent and islands, we acknowledge that we do so in First Peoples’ Country. That First Peoples are in a profound and loving relationship with Country, and have been so into deep time. We acknowledge the wrongs and deep hurt across time-places within Country, that Country is family, and that Country was stolen and never ceded. We are deeply sorry.
Through our offerings, we aim to honour the immense wisdom, strengths and resiliences of First Nations people, and of Country. We are committed to deep listening. Through our work, we are called to continually guide ourselves and others away from the patterns and values that perpetuate colonisation, and towards respect, care, kinship and autonomy.
We also acknowledge that wherever we are from, we belong to this Earth. That our ancestors in deep time were in a close and animate relationship with the rest of life, and that it has been this way for 98% of the time that human life has existed on Earth.
We Acknowledge
Coming to Life creates enlivening and lasting experiences for purpose-driven organisations and individuals to uncover paradigm-shifting clarity on how to be and what to do as they tend to what they care for.
We invite people to attend to the quality of how we relate, be, perceive, and then act.

Why we exist
We believe that when people are allowed to slow down, engage their senses, and connect to the natural world and to themselves, they shift into ways of being that support the wider web of life, and humans within it, to be heard and thrive.

Take a minute to write an introduction that is short, sweet, and to the point.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
We believe that when people are allowed to slow down, engage their senses, and connect to the natural world and to themselves, they shift into ways of being that support the wider web of life, and humans within it, to be heard and thrive.
Openings or ‘activations’ of meetings and special events in fresh and different ways so that whatever follows is uplifted, calmer and aligned (with what our time asks of us) (approx 30 min - 2.5 hours).
Group connection (and/or reorientation) time through immersions in nature (2.5 or more hours)
Transformative educational workshops on decolonising
Our specialities are to design and hold
We hold space, usually in nature – amongst birdsong, feeling the fresh breeze blow through leaves and across your skin – as a way of returning to something richer and vaster than ourselves.
We guide you through an enlivening process, that we sense as the groundwork of our times, made up of our five core elements
Re-member connection
Slow down and grow receptivity
Perceive and sense in new ways (that nourish life)
Shed the patterns (that don’t)
Gain clarity
Our Offerings
What we do
We design, create and facilitate welcoming environments for you to see and step away from the habitual stuff that isn't really contributing to what you long to see realised.
A gift that follows is a refreshing space opens up for you to enjoy uncovering and connecting with what's needed for you to carve the difference you're seeking.
