Introducing
‘KINDRED’
the multi generational Edition of ‘The 100 Human Experience’
Join us on a transformative journey alongside other kindred souls at the next edition of ‘The 100 Human Experience’.
KINDRED is a space for us all to connect and reconnect with what it is to be an empowered multi-generational community.
KINDRED is a ‘100 Human Experience’ designed to nurture a transformative experience for us all as one multigenerational community.
From rewilding and rechilding nature-based activities, to rites of passage, to powerful yet playful embodiment practices, to interactive storytelling and fire making and fireside folklore, as one multigenerational community WE will create new templates for growth.
Let’s immerse ourselves in communities that recognise our potential & help support our health & well being, rather than compromise it.
Let’s start remembering who we are.
We are innately wild connected and empowered beings. It’s in our DNA, it’s the narrative of our evolution to be a physical, social, spiritual, emotional well-being.
The 100 Human Experience provides the space for us to come together and collectively embrace practices that help shake and awaken us beyond our limitations.
Our event is designed to nurture a closer bond, fostering shared adventures for both adults and children. From nature-based activities and embodiment practices, to interactive storytelling and fireside folklore, both adult and child will engage in educational and exciting experiences that promote creativity, skill development and provide new templates for growth.
By integrating children into this journey, we aim to create an inclusive and enriching event for the entire family.
Witness adults embracing personal growth, mindfulness, and somatic practices, setting powerful examples for the younger generation.
Join us at KINDRED to help us cultivate an environment where adults and children can flourish, learn, and thrive. Let’s come together to build a community that nurtures the minds, bodies, and spirits of every participant. Book your spot now and embark on the ultimate adventure!

WHAT TO EXPECT
Move - Mobilise – Play:
Through movement, mobility and play we will nourish our mind-body loop to radically connect with our natural vibrations inside and out, experience higher states of being and raise our collective frequency.
With just a little Move Mobilise and Play-hydration, years’ worth of conditioning unravels, people vault right over the socially constructed walls they have built up around themselves, the flow rushes forth and those previously inhibited independent individuals take the first steps to merge together and operate as one. Through it, we can stimulate and reboot our senses, rewire neural pathways, make new connections and interactions and soon develop a collective imagination with our 100 Human Tribe. This Move Mobility Play segment not only fulfils our fundamental need to move and for human connection and wakes up our happy hormones, but facilitates the kind of communal problem solving, mutual support and teamwork that enables us to lose ourselves in something larger than our own. And once those play gates are open, once the inhibiting doors of judgement are off, we find that we want to play more and more….
Conscious Connected Breath:
Through a blend of powerful breathing modalities, we will create an experience of deep presence and empowering self-awareness, that allows for a much deeper connection to true self. We will be unscrewing the intellectual lid and opening up the portal to the unconscious world.
The breathing modalities will flow beautifully, creating the space for you to receive intuitive nudges and insights into who you really are, beneath the façade. You’ll be flying high on your own supply and diving deep down into belly-raw emotions, unravelling negative emotions, releasing energetic blockades, and rebooting your mind, body and soul.
Ice Bath:
Ice baths have become somewhat of a modern-day rite of passage, through which we are seeing huge waves of people having awakenings. Experiences like these help us see beyond our limitations, and what has been normalised. If your individual consciousness changes then your reality changes.
Consider the Ice bath as a micro hit of adversity, you will learn the transferable skills of how to master your breath and mindset to face the (perceived threat) ice bath challenge. You will learn to use cold adaptation techniques to improve focus, reduce stress, enhance mental and physical performance, boost the immune system and most importantly discover that at your core you are one powerful human being who has everything within you to change your current state of mind.
Voice Awakening:
Singing and making sound is one of the most natural and instinctive things humans can do. Working with our voices can open us up to new levels of self-expression, self-understanding and unbounded depths of creativity, whilst balancing the vital wellbeing of the body and mind. Yes, all of that just with your voice!
Through a mixture of meditative sound practices, expressive voice play and song, we will incorporate awareness of breath, body and mindstuff, whilst exploring our connection to ourselves and others. Absolutely no prior experience necessary!
Cacao Ceremony:
“The potency of a Cacao Ceremony comes from clear intention, meaningful group connection, and the willingness of the seeker to join Mother Cacao in a deep personal journey.” - Jeff Lester
Plants are medicine. The indigenous cultures understand and hold intimate relationships with Mother Earth and the plants she grows. Ceremonial Cacao is a "power plant medicine" used for opening our heart chakra. It is common to experience love and elevated emotions in great depth. In the ceremony, we open the space by honouring the cardinal directions; asking for support and guidance to embark on an individual and collective journey. You can expect any, or all of the following: intention setting, singing, dancing, meditation, lots of feels and beautiful vibes.
Men’s and Women’s Circles:
Mens and Womens work is about honouring and healing both the healthy feminine and the healthy masculine within. We’ll gather in circle to learn how to show up and inspire each other, working with our unique gifts as men and women. This will be a safe space to express ourselves, share and empathise within our own genders, so we can better support the other.
Ecstatic Dance:
Imagine jumping, howling, beating one’s chest, going for it with syncopated, heart-led dancing to the rhythm of drums, let’s throw in a fire for good measure and BAM! you have everything you need, everything we used to have as a species, to access heightened states. Now imagine the absolute energy force of collective emotion generated by this uninhibited fun being expressed en masse.
Connect to the rhythms of your heart, release the body, free the mind and awaken the soul in this freestyle conscious dance journey.
No shoes, no drugs or alcohol, no distractions and no judgment, this is a space to embrace “all ways of free-form dance” and fully express your truest nature without limits, to reach moments of pure liberation and ecstatic highs through movement and music.
Sweat Lodge Ceremony:
A type of Sweat Lodge, a Temazcal is a Mexican purification ceremony; for relieving stress, cleansing toxins from the body, releasing negativity and revitalising life force. Especially beneficial for your immune system & balancing mind, body & spirit. Essentially, it is a steam bath in a natural dome. Large rocks are heated on a fire outside, then placed inside a natural bowl in the center of the dome & doused with water and herbs. The medicinal steam & the power of the natural elements help us to open and cleanse. As a key part of indigenous medicine, it has been used widely for thousands of years for the treatment & prevention of disease, stress, weight loss, depression, skin conditions, disease & much more.. The Sweat Lodge dome itself represents the ‘Womb of the Earth’ as its energy is distinctly nurturing, bringing us closer to our Panchamama.
Fire Ceremony:
The fire pit provides the perfect holding place for integration and the potent transformational practices to unravel. This is a place for our collective connection, reconnection and the sharing of our individual and collective experience. The fire provides the space to let go, to reinvent, to simply settle, be warmed and be. Through fire ceremony, the stage is set to honour and integrate the lessons learnt. Fire ceremony is a timeless tradition. We like to think of the fire as a portal, an opportunity to sit with our ancestors, to tune in, appreciate, be grateful and share our story.
We will experience and explore through a mixture of fire, breath, dance, song, drumming practice, and intention setting.

Catherine Bjorksten
My greatest passion is facilitating spaces of transformation for people to step into a higher, more authentic and fulfilling version of themselves. My past life was in marketing and advertising. A burnout and motherhood (I’m the mum of two teen boys) called me to the more holistic and spiritual side of life, which led me to study psychic development (College of Psychic Studies), introductory psychotherapy (CCPE), and Spiritual Counselling at the Holistic Healing College, all in London.
For the past 10 years, I have worked with people 1 to 1 offering soul plan readings, shadow integration and spiritual awakening mentoring and led retreats, held workshops, talks and women’s circles. And I am the author of “You are loved: essential spirit guides and guardians”.
In that time frame, I have also had the privilege to learn directly from indigenous elders from various lineages and dive deeply into their cosmologies and ways. I have also completed a three-year shamanic training, which included deep personal healing, initiations, and healing techniques.
And last but not least, I have apprenticed with great teachers in womb awakening and am currently mentoring with Jane Hardwick Collings, founder of the school of shamanic womancraft. We are here to remember the power and gift that is to be a connected woman. Connected to yourself, nature, community, and Spirit.
Chris James

Daniel Lees
My passion is connecting people through the elements and being a host of connection and community.
Creating and maintaining the fire circle is a sacred art of being, so teaching these skills is vital to being more human.
I will be teaching the skills of sourcing and preparing the raw materials for a fire, connecting children to the outdoors and teaching them to do the work, to make the spark, to bring the community together.
The children will take on the responsibility to maintain the fire over the weekend at the 100 HUMAN EXPERIENCE KINDRED time of opening and closing the fire circle.
Children will be getting dirty and smoky whilst helping with the fire so make sure they have suitable clothing and footwear.
“Tony, I have been back engulfed in my normal life since last weekends ‘100’ experience, and yes it was an experience. Wow, my life has turned around thanks to what you have created. Yes I have had some lows (not many since returning home) but I feel I now have the ability and tools to help me bounce back and this has made me feel a better, thoughtful and more caring ‘Human Being’. People around me are saying ‘what’s the matter with you?’ and I can’t explain it in words very easily so I say ‘take a look at the website and trust’. My intention written on the piece of kindling at the opening ceremony was to find the real me, so if the person I am now isn’t the real me I will take this one instead. I met and connected with sooo many genuine beautiful spirits over the weekend to make a ‘TRULY MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE’ 🙏 To your team and yourself GRATITUTE 🌟, RECONNECT, REWILD AND BE HUMAN’ Thank you ❤️”
Pete Dowling
“Good time yes, but “good” doesn’t nearly cover it! The 100HX was for me was wonderful, breath-giving and beautiful. This weekend will have life changing affects on my life by enhancing an even bigger ripple inside of me for growth and wellbeing for myself and humanity.”
