Your personalised, magical energy shield:
a free workshop

You know that your energy matters. 

You know you’re supposed to protect your psyche from negative energy, and you’re supposed to ‘fill the well’ of positive energy, so you’re not trying to run on the smell of an oily rag. 

But the days fly past, and there are errands to run and emails to check and the relentless clarion call of social media and screaming headlines.

And unless you’re a rich old white man, the world has become an increasingly dangerous place to dwell - so pressure to take all the responsibility for your own wellbeing can feel like gaslighting and victim-blaming.

Plus, you’re in the horns of a very common and genuine dilemma: how to stay informed (because deliberate ignorance can be a symptom of toxic privilege), without being hurled into a spiral of helplessness and hopelessness.

Managing your energy can seem like just another ‘to do’ on a list already long enough to choke a horse - especially when everyone around you utterly refuses to tone it down, to consider your needs.

Your precious energy matters

And if you’re like most people, you’ve already tried loads of things. 

Maybe you’ve tried meditation or a visualisation technique.

Or maybe you’ve tried something more ‘practical’, such as shutting yourself away from the world, avoiding the mall or the internet, or yelling at everyone around you to JUST KEEP QUIET.  

Or maybe you’ve simply kept pushing through, hoping things will somehow change all on their own, and doing your best to ignore any growing feeling that you might be about to run out of steam completely. 

You may have had some temporary relief along the way, but the brutal truth is, your energy levels are falling overall, and you’re beginning to notice an increase in feelings of vulnerability - even if your literal situation is not actually at any higher risk than it used to be.

You may even be starting to feel like you’re broken and beyond help (you’re not).

All those things you’ve already tried didn’t deliver the peace you crave, because you don’t need a generic, one-size-fits-all solution.

You need a  customised, simple, fun and sustainable solution - created BY you, FOR you.

Let me teach you how.

There are four simple principles underpinning this project:

  1. The system in which we were raised is fucked, and it installed unconscious habits of thought and behaviour in you (eg ‘it has to look a certain way’ and ‘anything worthwhile is hard work’ and ‘someone else knows better than I do’ and ‘protecting my own energy seems hard to grasp’)

  2. That crap in your brain is absolutely not your fault, and it’s not a character flaw - but it is now your job to retrain your own brain and clean up the mess

  3. Brains are superbly designed for retraining, when you have the right tool pointed at the right problem, and they do MUCH better when we weave in playfulness, fun and delight

  4. Magic turbocharges the process at both an esoteric and somatic level

When you’re seeking a solution to the problem of ‘how do I protect my energy most effectively?’ - the answer is a customised protective shield made specifically for you, BY you, so it’s fun, easy and inspiring to use every day.

And that’s what this workshop is all about - guiding you through the process and supporting you to do the creative work, while having a good time and being in a safe space with like-minded folks.

“Janette is intuitive in mysterious ways. She is a magic maker. She is powerfully compassionate and a fierce advocate for her clients. Janette is generous, present, and in my personal experience, almost always five steps ahead of me when I feel stuck or lost. Janette can see through the fog better than almost anyone I know.

Janette is a master at both creating a space to heal and grow AND holding that space without judgement in what feels like an infinite absence of rush. Janette‘s work feels like the calm, the storm, and the rebirth after the storm. All of those things can live in one session with her.”

Meet your host

As a late-stage boomer with a passion for social justice, I know what it’s like to try and manage the impacts of perceived danger and real danger in a world where we can be attacked simply for seeking to make the world a better place.

As a recovering workaholic, I know what it’s like to have YET MORE stuff on the to-do list.

As a life-long SF geek, I know the importance of asking ‘what if?’ and using fun, playfulness and laughter as deliberate antidotes to adversity, and acts of resistance to oppression.

Ever since I was union rep on a TV production in 1995, and went into battle for child actors to get proper lunch breaks, I’ve helped liberate thousands of people from toxic systemic BS.

I’ve done it as a union organiser for actors and, later, academics; and since 2011, I’ve done it with thousands of coaching clients.

My core coaching qualifications included three years of training in total, alongside various additional training in positive psychiatry and positive psychology, psychological first aid, trauma, identity shifting, emotional intelligence, astrology, chaos magic, and diversity, equity and inclusivity.

I’m fiercely passionate about freeing women from those old toxic systems in our heads, so we can all flourish - as an act of personal and political defiance.

Helping you craft your own unique and potent energetic shield is definitely in my wheelhouse!

The nuts and bolts

How we meet up

This is a free workshop, run as a live Zoom call (with recording available for folks who can’t make it).

Camera is optional, but I highly recommend attending via computer if you can - that way, you can participate in any chat-based conversations as part of the workshop.

I will guide you through the process of creating your own unique energetic shield, one that you will have SO much fun and delight using on a daily basis, so that it’s ready to use by the end of our time together.

And we will all celebrate together, as the pieces fall into place. 

There will be plenty of time for sharing, and plenty of time for coaching, for those who want or need it.

And I can guarantee there will be laughter and love and fun and infinite compassion, all woven into our time together - because that’s how I most like to roll AND it’s the best way to learn.

I think you’re going to love it!

Timing

We'll meet up a few hours before Mars moves into practical, grounded Virgo, as he lines up with bold, bright Regulus, one of our brightest stars (in fact, you’ll probably be able to see them shining together in the night sky if you’re lucky enough not to have cloud cover)

Regulus is sometimes known as Qalb al-Asad, from the Arabic قلب الأسد, meaning 'the heart of the lion' - a most appropriate ally for helping to craft something which taps into our own unique boldness.

Meanwhile the other half of our ‘boundary’ ally duo, Mercury, will be in highly sensitive Cancer, lit up by optimistic Jupiter.

It’s a beautiful combination, just right for this kind of work.

FAQ

  • This is not designed to help you gaslight yourself about what’s happening in your world, especially if you are in an unsafe or abusive situation.

    Can this energetic shield help you to feel strong and protected enough that you can make the changes that create more safety? Yes, it can.

    But this is absolutely not a technique you can use to trick yourself into staying in a dangerous place.

    If you are in danger right now, please reach out to me - I can most likely put you in touch with folks who can support you as you get to safety.

  • There’s nothing that you NEED to bring.

    However, I strongly recommend bringing paper and something you like to write or draw with, so you can jot down your ideas as they emerge.

    You could go digital but doing things on physical paper activates a different, and more creative, part of the brain … and that’s always helpful.

  • I would love that! In fact, feel free to bring as many as you’d like. The more, the merrier. 😁

    All I ask is that you please get them to register using their own name and email address - that way, I can be sure they’ll get the post-call goodies such as the recording or any other resources I end up sharing.

  • I’ve blocked out a full 90 minutes, because I want to be available for as many questions as people have.

    However, I anticipate the workshop itself will take about an hour.

    There will be a little teaching, so you understand the technique itself, and there will be plenty of time for you to do the fun, creative stuff (because it’s a workshop, not a lecture!)

    My intention is that you leave with the magical energy shield ready to use, even if you end up doing some refining after the event. Sweet!

  • Good question.

    No - there is no ‘fakery’ about this.

    It will be a standalone workshop from which you will learn what I’m offering - which makes me happy because the more women who know how to do this stuff, the better!

    I do have a program coming up after this, that I think is also incredibly useful, and I’ll spend about two minutes out of the 90 giving you the bare bones of it.

    But the remaining 88 minutes will be workshop with time for Q and A, pure and simple.

“I cannot say enough about this revolutionary and life-changing program.   

Janette approaches everything with seemingly endless amounts of compassion, understanding and never one tiny bit of judgment. 

I know you will find this program as transformational as I did.”
