Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) Group

A 12-week journey towards connection, safety and belonging

Online | January 2027 | Small, supportive group

When: Tuesdays, 4:00–5:30 pm
Commencing: Mid-January 2027
Format: 12 weeks, with six live group sessions held on alternate weeks

An invitation to heal in community

Our nervous systems are shaped through relationship, family, community and culture. Across history, humans have gathered in circles to heal, share wisdom and remember who we are.

There is something powerful about being witnessed, feeling less alone and experiencing the resonance of other nervous systems. Healing doesn't always require us to share our stories directly. Sometimes, simply being together creates space for connection, belonging and change.

This group brings together Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) listening, nervous system education and the experience of healing in community. Over 12 weeks, we’ll explore our nervous systems and attachment patterns, alongside practices that support a deeper sense of safety, connection and self-awareness.

What’s included

1. Safe and Sound Protocol listening

The SSP is a sound-based intervention designed to support the nervous system's capacity for safety and social engagement. Through this process, we’ll explore what it means to feel more at ease in ourselves and more available for connection with others.

I like to think of the SSP as a kind of medicine that supports us in reconnecting with our embodied, authentic self — our Signature Frequency.

This is the place within us where we can feel more connected, creative, playful and fully ourselves. It’s an invitation to nurture our connection with ourselves, other people, Mother Nature and all sentient beings.

Your package includes a 12-month subscription to the Safe and Sound Protocol, providing continued access to SSP listening and the opportunity to explore maintenance listening beyond our group sessions.

2. Live group gatherings

We’ll meet for six live sessions across the 12 weeks, creating space to learn, reflect and experience connection in a small, supportive community.

Together, we’ll explore our nervous systems, attachment and the ways our experiences shape our capacity for safety and connection. Through guided reflection, shared experiences and moments of quiet witnessing, we’ll make room for curiosity, self-awareness and growth — without pressure to share more than feels right for you.

3. Practices to support your nervous system

Alongside SSP listening and our live gatherings, you’ll have access to resources to support your connection with yourself between sessions. These may include:

• Guided meditations and mindfulness practices

• Gentle movement and yoga

• Breathwork and somatic practices

• Nature-based practices and reflections

• Resources informed by Polyvagal Theory and nervous system science

These practices offer gentle ways to explore what helps you feel grounded, connected and present in everyday life.

4. Space to integrate and grow

Healing unfolds in its own time. Between gatherings, you’ll be encouraged to listen, reflect and explore the practices in ways that feel manageable and meaningful to you.

The intention isn’t to force change or reach a particular destination, but to cultivate the conditions in which greater connection, resilience and a deeper sense of self can emerge.

A community to come home to

At the heart of this group is the understanding that we don’t have to do everything alone. Through shared experience, gentle exploration and the presence of others, we can begin to discover new possibilities for connection, belonging and healing.

You’re invited to come as you are, move at your own pace and explore what it means to feel more at home in yourself and in relationship with the world around you.

Interested in joining?

The online group commences in mid-January 2027, with six live sessions held on alternate Tuesdays over 12 weeks.

Additional community gatherings are planned for February 2027, either online or in person in Shoal Bay, a beautiful, sleepy beach town in Port Stephens. These gatherings will offer another opportunity to connect, reflect and experience the value of healing in community.
