About this event
Join somatic coach, intuitive guide, and interdisciplinary artist Poonam Dhuffer for a two-hour immersive experience in embodied creativity. This journey blends somatic awareness, intuitive insight, and soul-led expression to guide both hand and heart. Through grounding meditation, intuitive art-making, and free writing, you’ll be gently invited to reconnect with your inner landscape and access a deeper well of wisdom and creative flow.
This isn’t about mastering technique or producing a finished product. It’s about being present -allowing your creative energy to flow from the body, not just the mind. In this space, symbols, sensations, colours, and words become sacred messengers of what lives within.
Together we’ll explore:
🌱 Grounding practices to reconnect with your body and presence
🎨 Intuitive visual exploration beyond the limits of language
🖋️ Embodied, reflective writing to tune into what’s alive in your heart
🧭 Collective sharing to deepen insight and shared wisdom
Whether you feel creatively blocked or are simply seeking a gentle space to reflect, play, and reconnect - this workshop will meet you where you are.
What You’ll Experience and Take Away:
- 🌊 A felt sense of creative flow rooted in your body, not just your mind
- 🎨 Freedom to express through drawing and writing without judgment or expectation
- 💗 A deeper connection to your heart’s voice and inner knowing
- 🔮 Trust in your intuition and the Divine flow moving through you
- 🌿 Grounding tools and creative rituals you can carry into everyday life
What you will need in this workshop:
- Your choice of art materials: crayons, felt-tips, paint, pencils, markers—no rules!
- A journal and pen to write with
- A quiet space to sit comfortably
- Please bring any drinks and snacks to keep you nourished throughout our time together
About Poonam Dhuffer

Warm words from my clients
"Working with Poonam was like receiving the warmth and wisdom of women, family, intergenerational beliefs and ideas. A deeply nurturing experience." - Somatic Coaching client
"Poonam’s facilitation style was calm, centred, empowering and healing. Poonam created a healing space for our group of artists, that allowed them to slow down and think through how they best wish to move forward with the development of their artistic practice and their time on the programme. They felt much calmer, more reflective, more empowered. Working with Poonam was a total joy. Poonam approached the sessions with so much bespoke care, and went above and beyond." - Cultural Producer, Rosetta Arts
"Poonam helped to guide us back to who we are, what feeds our soul, what brings our joy – by finding that we become the best version of ourselves for us and for others – creating a trusted and winning team and importantly providing everyone with the insights to maintain resilience through self-care and awareness holistically and sustainably. The legacy of this work will stay with the individuals on this team for life and that is definitely an investment worth making." - Converse
"Our work allowed to settle muddy waters and give power to a sense of self. I feel it was part of me regaining access to my consciousness and trusting my voice and gut feeling; I see that as inscribed in my process of decolonising myself." - Somatic coaching client
"Poonam holds a safe cocoon to connect with yourself, let go and explore what's coming up for you in a place with no judgment and process how you're feeling. It’s deep, beautiful, amazing, safe space to feel yourself. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being that unconditional support, you are amazing at what you do- it comes from such a pure, deep place that I am so grateful for. You’re a beam of light." - Somatic Coaching client
Disclaimer
Everything is an invitation in our space. I will bring somatic facilitation to the workshop to enable you to explore yourself deeper. My intention is to create a cosy cocoon and nourishing atmosphere and hope to provoke thought and a richer space for you to gain a new or deeper understanding of your inner world. The spaces I hold are therupetic, but are not a replacement for therapy, or coaching. The workshop will be held very gently, with a strong emphasis on slowness, safety, choice, presence, and regulation. The somatic practices are all gentle invitations into your felt experience. We will be coming closer into our sensations, experiencing expansive vs contraction in your energy, and writing from what emerges in the process. You will be welcome to stop, pause or step out at any time, and sharing is always optional. There's no pressure to “look deeply” within unless it feels genuinely supportive and nourishing for you.
Frequently asked questions
You will receive a reminder 48 hours before the workshop with the Zoom link. Please email me directly, at poonam@ysm8.co.uk if you have any issues..
No worries, I will be sending the replay of the video - which will be available for two weeks.
No, if you're unable to join us live, you will still receive the recording. So you can replay in your own time. But I do encourage you do join us live, you will experience the nourishing energy and taste the wisdom that emerges from being held in a community space.
I don’t offer refunds. I am available to have a chat beforehand to answer any questions or thoughts before you sign up. You can email me directly on, poonam@ysm8.co.uk and I will get back to you within 24 hours.
This isn't a craft workshop, nor is it a workshop where we'll read our writing out loud. This workshop is aimed at exploring the practice of discernment through our bodies and writing. The writing we do will be more about self-exploration in support of expressing ourselves more authentically.
Not at all. This workshop is for anyone who is feeling called to express themselves more authentically, who is feeling the inner pull to make decisions from their alignment, and wants to learn how to listen to their intuition deeper.
You don’t need to be a seasoned writer, painter or maker. You simply need to be open-hearted and curious to see what emerges. My intention as your coach is guide you gently into your body, energy and environment. I welcome you exactly as you are.
No, there won't be small breakout groups in these workshops; this is will be an intimate space for introspection and reflection. I will be inviting you to share any reflections with the group - You may share as much or as little as you like, whatever feels safe and comfortable for you.
While Poonam is an accredited somatic coach, this offering is not a mental health offering. She is showing up to this space as an interdisciplinary artist, somatic coach and creative facilitator.
