CAROLYN PALLON
Providing contemplative spaces to reflect upon ideas of who we think we should be
in order to liberate who we truly are
Combining the experience gathered as a Consultant Clinical Psychologist in the NHS with the meditative practices especially of deep rest, to create supportive, transformative spaces. Spaces for healing, understanding and the remembering of our often buried capacity to meet this life and all it brings, from a place of wholeness rather than disconnect and fear
Supporting people to get into a flow of practice, a flow of community, to untangle limiting ideas about this being human, so that what isn't essential can drop away and reveal a more trustworthy, deeper intelligence
We need each other, we all belong, how could it possibly be otherwise
The challenges we face are many. We need to be present, to listen deeply, to wake up and let the tender fierce heart lead
Individual & Group Sessions available
Serving Cambridge and the surrounding areas as well as on-line
ABOUT ME
'Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray' Rumi
I worked as a Consultant Clinical Psychologist for over 20 years in the NHS, with a passion for developing services that had the prevention of suffering at their heart, that promoted well being and that were as inclusive and far reaching as possible. I now combine this passion with a heartfelt dedication to and experience in practising and teaching the meditative traditions of and deep rest and contemplation in action.
'There are vast realms of consciousness still undreamed of, vast ranges of experience, like the humming of unseen harps, we know nothing of, within us'
'Terra Incognita' DH Lawrence
WHAT I OFFER AND LOVE SHARING
I offer sessions in person, on line and also at the Satyam Yoga Centre in Chesterton.
Sessions growing all the time, so check back regularly or join my mailing list. If there is something you would like to work with me on, to offer together, I am very open to co-creating and getting wellbeing services as wide and deep as they are needed, any query just get in touch.
BEING MINDFUL IN NATURE
Sessions currently full
Waking up the senses and reconnecting to the world around us with awareness and presence
Soothing the system, unwinding and remembering we too are nature, and part of the mystery of this life
We will care for ourselves, others and for this world around us when we remember this.
ONE-TO-ONE SESSIONS
I offer individual sessions for those looking for a trustworthy space in which to share and explore difficulty, however that presents itself.
Meeting difficulty head on with care and kindness, isn't something we are encouraged to do, it can feel radical and liberating to realise some of our difficulties arise from beliefs about who we think we are & what we think we should be doing.
DEEP REST MEDITATION & ENQUIRY
I run a a combination of group sessions, and drop ins. Both combining guided meditation & deep enquiry into what happens when we truly connect to ourselves and others in an honest and heartfelt way.
A chance to reflect together following practice can lead to finding new solutions together, unexpected discoveries about who we truly are, and what really matters.
I teach at Satyam Yoga Centre Cambridge every Saturday 11-12.30
The on-line groups are currently full but in person at Satyam is always available.
CONSULTATION, TRAINING, SUPERVISION
GROUPS & RETREATS
I have a wealth of experience in all of the above, gathered from across NHS Trusts, voluntary sectors, Universities & the corporate sector.
I love listening to what may be really needed, beyond ideas, really opening up possibilities so that creativity & well being can lead. I believe a profound sanity is possible when individuals and groups feel safe, that their hearts are engaged and they are fully resourced from the inside out.
Following the day with you a sense of peace has filled my heart.
I don’t remember ever feeling this peaceful.
It’s like the constant talking mind has quietened. The womb like rest we shared, was somehow deeply moving.
I feel braver than ever,
Veronica
Your sharings and reflections continue to bring me comfort, connection and insights.
Thank you Carolyn, for your gentle reminders of what really matters, which help to keep me anchored in truth, in this chaotic physical world in which we live.
Alli
I have been attending classes for nearly a year and find them so nourishing. I have also experienced one to ones and found Carolyn to be incredibly supportive with a vast amount of knowledge and true wisdom. I went with the intention of helping my body to rest and found true friendship, so much healing - the whole experience has changed my life.
