What We Do
Coming to Life generates the groundwork needed to navigate the interwoven challenges of our time with aliveness, intelligence and a sense of joy.
We create bespoke and lasting group experiences that, like hands cracking into soil before planting a seedling, create space for new connections and possibilities to emerge.
Our Offerings
We design and facilitate enlivening 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 hold in-person experiences outdoors, in the bush, in and around the buildings where you meet and online too.
Our in-person experiences can happen in the beautiful bush and beaches of Kurkala Dorla (Anglesea), on a mountain-top (Yarra Valley), in Naarm (Melbourne), around the salty sea, pandanus and mangroves of Garramilla (Darwin) and in and around nipaluna (Hobart).
Each offering is

How we work
We work in ways that you might have not experienced before. We call them “other-wise” ways. Why?
Because taking the same steps and having conversations to work out what to do in our times, in similar ways = the same and similar results.
Different ways = fresh possibilities.
We listen to what your organisation is after and then our team of skilled facilitators co-designs and guides your group through an experience.
Our experiences will be accessible and meet your group where you’re at.
Our five Core Elements
Using our five Core Elements we invite people to attend to the quality of how we relate, be, perceive, and then act.
-
Give people an opportunity to feel their feet firmly on, and as a part of, the ground, breathe, genuinely acknowledge Country, experience our deep interconnectivity and feel that they belong.
-
Genuinely pause and expand our awareness. Rather than being on the treadmill, allow space to emerge in our minds and bodies so that fresh information we receive can actually enter and land.
-
Engage in practices that enable seeing, feeling, being and thinking in other ways. Seeing the ordinary, the world we’re a part of, with awe, love and reverence. What if we said “yes” to a softening, surrendering, letting go, a cracking open of ourselves, that invites metamorphosis where we can feel, sense, dwell and inhabit more of the world as it is?
-
Cultivate awareness of the patterns, assumptions and behaviours inherent within modern culture – those forged by the very systems that have created the challenges we swim in that budded a long time ago. Shed these ways before we act.
-
Sourced from the groundwork and our deeper nature, gain clarity on how to be and experiment with responses that could bud patterns that nourish life.
OUR PROMISE TO YOU
We provide you with a wholesome foundation – an alive fertile place – for your gatherings, that allows welcome possibilities to sprout and shoot. We work with you to help you ask essential questions, to come to life and find new ways to help your important work.
