Belonging - bonding with others in an accepting and nurturing space.
Presence - practicing mindfulness to escape the tension of our daily lives.
Growth - providing you with understanding and compassion for how you came to be where you are in life, and hope for a more resilient and empowered future.
Confidentiality - above all else what is spoken at Embers stays at Embers*
Tranquillity - As ‘nature deficit disorder’ is becoming more common as a health issue due to spending more time indoors and increasingly tied to technology. Embers aim is to tend to those deficits as the natural world is an integral part of our ancestral biology, known as ‘Biophilia’.

increase presence and awareness for living in the now.

increase resilience and feel more integrated in the world.
