seeding your/our regeneration

welcome, traveler

I'm Meg. I'm a neurodivergent mother, writer, somatic practitioner, trauma-informed facilitator and equine interaction experience professional. I support socially conscious humans to recover from burnout and contribute to our cultural regeneration through parenting, business, activism and the creative arts.

My work and words draw on the influences of somatic experiencing, nature connection, trauma recovery, social justice, yoga, mindful self compassion, eco-somatics, deep ecology, intersectional feminism & animal-assisted interactions.

I'm working toward a world where diverse folks feel valued and valuable, where we steward our resources wisely and where we heal the disconnection with nature, within our bodies and with each other.

“With the incredibly welcoming guidance of Meg, I am slowly disconnecting from the systems that I don't want to feed and learning to listen to my body's wisdom"

“Thank you, Meg for your enormous generosity and heart for this work. I so admire and am thankful for your exquisite leadership"

“I honestly feel like being in Meg's spaces has nourished me in ways I didn't think possible. I feel so heard and seen.”

I don’t run my business by asking how much can I squeeze in?

I ask:
🍃How many nervous systems can I support while also supporting my own?

🍃Where is the line between service and self-sacrifice?

🍃When does my creativity run dry?

🍃How many hours can I spend online before I need to return to the wild?

Because a business that isn’t in service of life — my life, our lives — isn’t one I want to build.

This is the work of Unbound.

We’re not here to slap self-care on top of hustle.
We’re here to rewrite the rules entirely — from extraction to reciprocity, from coercion to consent, from performance to presence.

This is regenerative business. This is nervous-system-honouring leadership.
This is the paradigm shift.

Unbound starts today.

Come with us?

Don’t tell me to breathe.

Also - Unbound starts Friday. A place to unlearn what we think business needs to be and re-learn a regenerative, decolonial and trauma informed approach that honours you, earth and others.

Last day to enrol @megjberryman

🍃5 months of regenerative business principles
🍃somatic practice
🍃reflection and storytelling among kin

A place to unlearn, reconnect with the truth in your bones - and find an orientation to business that feels more in service of life.

Couple of spots left - we start Friday @megjberryman

I was cantering through the bush - evening chasing hurried hoofbeats - when I happened upon a warm current of air that carried the scent of eucalypt and florals.

I pulled gently on the reins … enraptured with the scent and the moment. Lingering where inexplicably the air hung lower; and warmer. A microclimate amid a dry cool winter afternoon.

I searched for a reason - an answer to the question as to how this unexpected gift had arrived. Only the silence of the lemon scented gums and the lonely cry of a cockatoo arose.

I hopped off - rubbing Bowie’s ears gently. And followed the warm breeze into a circle of gums. Breathing it in; turning my face toward the sun.

Shoulders dropped, jaw relaxed. Enlivened by the contrast and the unexpected joy that had found us somewhere on the trail.

Not because I curated it but because i allowed myself to be found by it. And met it gleefully when I arrived.

🍃🍃

Last night we opened Tend with such beautiful energy: in these spaces we are setting the conditions for something new to emerge. For something unexpected and joyful and delicious to emerge.

Kinship spaces are exactly the microcosms of aliveness and connection that alchemise survival into safety and longing into belonging. Together we are re-weaving and remembering.

Tend - if you wish to join for the remaining four months then let me know.

Unbound - regenerative business circle - starts Friday.

All the links @megjberryman

Satiety isn’t just a full stomach—it’s a full life.
It feels like rosy cheeks after time in the sun.
Shoulders dropped, not braced.
A breath that moves all the way down.
A quiet in the belly. A softening in the jaw.
No grasping, no reaching.
Just the sweet hum of enough.
So many of us have forgotten this feeling—
conditioned to chase, consume, and produce
instead of letting ourselves be filled
by what truly nourishes:
connection, beauty, rest, presence.
This season, may you remember
what it is to be full in all the ways that matter.

✨ Tend starts tonight.
A small, somatic space for sensitive, seeking people
to soften, settle, and remember enoughness together.

Last chance to join—link in bio.

#satiety #embodiment #nervoussystem #enoughness #slowness #aliveness #traumainformed #neuroaffirming #tend

We start tomorrow - last chance to join us.

🍃 @megjberryman

🍃How?

Tend is for neurokin and fellow sensitive, socially conscious, care-oriented humans. A place to remember another rhythm. A place to integrate what you know rather than trying to know more.

There’s two places left and we start Monday.

Enrol @megjberryman

Things are shifting in my business as I adapt to the season — both in the world and in my own life.

For now, Tend and Unbound are the only ways to work with me. These small, intimate spaces are where I’m pouring my care, insight, and presence — they’re for those navigating complexity, change, and the call to live more true.

My 1-1 books including once off sessions are currently full, but I’ve opened a waitlist for anyone wanting to work together later in the year. I’m continuing to support existing clients who have already purchased sessions and super-vision folks with my whole heart, while creating more spaciousness for what’s to come.

If you’re feeling the pull to deepen your work, gather in good company, or tend to what’s emerging — now’s the time to reach out.

So we can together work with this season not against it.

🍃🍃🍃

Last chance to join Tend.

This is for the ones holding too much.

The ones holding grief for the planet, exhaustion from caregiving, burnout from trying to do the right thing in systems that don’t make it easy.

The ones who can feel everything — and carry more than their share.

The ones who long to offer care to others and be met in their own tenderness.

Tend is a small, intimate space for sensitive, neurodivergent, socially conscious humans navigating collapse — personal, relational, systemic.

It’s where we come to soften, not solve.
To feel, not fix.
To be held, not hustled.

Inside, you’ll receive:
❤️‍🩹Gentle nervous system support
❤️‍🩹A seasonal rhythm for rest and reconnection
❤️‍🩹kinship

✨ My 1:1 books are now full —kinship spaces are the only way to work with me this season.

Only a few spots remain.

If your body is whispering please — this is your invitation.

For years, I reinvented myself chasing an end.
The ideal job.
The perfect balance.
A version of myself that finally had it all “together.”

But each reinvention left something out—
my body, my rhythms, my joy, my kin.

So I stopped striving for arrival and started sensing toward aliveness.

Now, the blueprints I follow are more whole, more liminal.

These don’t fully exist yet—
because we’re the ones here to create them.

Feet in the earth. Ears to the hum.
Let’s build what we haven’t seen.

Last day to enrol in Tend (we start Monday) and doors closing soon for Unbound (we start Friday).

The only way to work together this coming season.

Ten years ago, I left one life for another.
But the “new” life still clung to old frames—
Stillness posed as arrival,
“Freedom” shaped by the same roots of not-enoughness.

The truth is: the way forward won’t come wrapped in clarity or tied in a bow. It won’t be Instagram perfect.

It will be messy, emergent, and slow.
It will rise not just from dreams, but from breakdowns.

Not just from vision, but from grief.

I see glimpses—
Of shared parenting and rewilded nights.

Of learning spaces that centre curiosity and aliveness.

Of mental health care that welcomes rather than excludes.

Of food, energy, and care sourced in kinship.
But these aren’t blueprints.

They’re possibilities, whispered through the cracks.

And they emerge not from urgency,
But from the quiet undoing of what no longer fits.
We’re not building a new system to contain us—
We’re composting the old,
And trusting what sprouts from the soil.

If you’re somewhere in the unraveling,
I see you.
You’re not behind.
You’re already in it.

Kinship Spaces were created for this.
For the ones walking the edge, listening for what’s next.

For the ones craving care, connection, and slowness in a world that keeps speeding up.
Doors to Unbound and Tend are closing soon.
If your body whispers yes, join us.

You don’t have to navigate this alone.

Every day this winter I’ve been going outside no matter the weather for a good chunk of time.

Because my body aches to, because my soul needs to; because doing so is a micro act of rebellion that restores agency and hope. Because autonomy helps me show up for others within systems that fundamentally undermine it.

Every windswept moment is a revolution. A reclamation, a rewilding. It matters.

I work with socially conscious humans who feel a great deal of guilt when they are not consistently
helping others. I remind them a lot that having our own center of agency and autonomy is vital if we are are interested in helping others find theirs.

Most of the next season I’m focusing on offering this somatic informed, systems aware work in my kinship spaces. They are rich relational offerings that have a deeply personal approach.

I have one super-vision spot open for a July start.

I’d love to work with you on restoring aliveness in these complex times … and rewriting a kinder story together.

DM me or enrol on my web home @megjberryman

Doors are closing very soon for this season’s kinship spaces Tend and Unbound.

Unbound has been evolving since before Covid times. It started as a small circle and then evolved into a larger course wherein I got to co-facilitate it with one of my all time favourite humans @traceykaycoe.

It’s always been a space of richness, ethics and deep community-oriented learning. In unbound we don’t just ask how to make profit in a purposeful way within an extractive business paradigm …

We rewrite the whole paradigm of business from the body, relationally and outward.

It’s always been a space of reclaiming, regeneration and remembering …. And it holds within it the stories and wisdom of every cohort who came before.

This year; I’m running it as a small and intimate kinship space - where I’ll share the seeds of regenerative business, provide personal support and somatic, decolonial practices to foster aliveness in work and at home.

If you’re ready to do a season of unlearning alongside me and some great humans, come join.

Open to anyone curious about starting or already running a service or product based business. Also open to alumni.

We’ve been taught that healing looks like self-improvement — more individual work, more ice baths, more striving.

But so often, these are just new ways of staying separate. From each other. From our animal bodies. From the earth.

They keep us in motion — always reaching, always fixing — instead of standing still, feet in the soil, remembering what it is to belong.

Kinship spaces offer another way.

This is the last week to enrol in Tend and Unbound — spaces to come back to your body, your rhythms, your place in the web.

Enrol @megjberryman

If you’re craving a space to remember the wisdom of change — and to root into something deeper than certainty — Kinship Spaces might be calling.

Tend and Unbound start really soon. All the details @megjberryman

What if recovery didn’t require efforting, fixing, or diving headfirst into our pain?

What if healing is more about remembering what’s already whole—through rhythm, relationship, and gently reweaving what was never meant to be carried alone?

This is the heart of how I work now. Less doing. More weaving. More sitting beside. More restoring the threads that connect us to ourselves, each other, and the living world.

If this approach speaks to something in you—your nervous system, your spirit—you’re warmly invited into Kinship Spaces: my seasonal coaching community for those navigating recovery, leadership, parenting, and purpose in these complex times.

Come as you are. Let’s reweave safety, togetherness, and meaning—one thread at a time.

What if tending to yourself wasn’t a luxury…
but a form of quiet, everyday resistance?
What if the rhythms of care, rest, reflection, and reconnection weren’t things we had to earn after burnout…
but ways of staying tethered to life before we unravel?

Tend is a seasonal space for folks who are navigating the complexities of leadership, caregiving, activism, parenting—or simply being human in these times.

It’s not about fixing.
It’s about softening.

About having a place to land.
To be witnessed.
To come back to yourself, gently.

Through monthly calls, shared reflection, and small, meaningful practices, we create a web of support that honours your unique capacity and rhythm.
This is care for the carers.
So you don’t have to carry it all alone.

The olives are heavy on the branch this season — plump with story, shaped by wind and time.

This image holds so much of what Kinship Spaces are about. Slow growth. Deep roots. Tending what’s real and relational.

If you’re craving spaces to grow with others — grounded, regenerative, decolonial — Kinship Spaces are now open for enrolment.

All the info @megjberryman

Turns out changing our worldview is much easier than changing ourselves.

If how we are relating in the world costs us our health; our interconnections, our planet, it might be time for a change.

I can help you- kinship spaces now enrolling.

@megjberryman

These Kinship Spaces aren’t just group programs — they’re intimate, relational sanctuaries for integrating, healing, and practicing aliveness together.

They’re for those navigating complexity, seeking softness, and remembering how to belong — in body, work, and life.

Spots are intentionally small and places are filling fast.

If one of these spaces is calling you, now’s the time.

Shelter 🍃

there were times
we needed it most—
a steady breath,
a regulated hand,
a place to land inside
that didn’t collapse
beneath us.

but no one came.
or they did,
but they flinched,
froze,
left.

so we fled inward,
without a map.
we learned to live
in high alert,
in shutdown,
in the in-between.
and still—
something in us waited.
some part,
however small,
kept imagining
a shelter
we hadn’t yet known.

now,
we build it slowly:
a softened jaw,
a pause before reacting,
a hand on heart,
a friend who doesn’t turn away.

we build it messily,
together—
in the ruptures and the repair,
in the co-regulated silence,
in the circle that says:
you don’t have to hold it all alone.
this is how shelter returns.
not from outside.
not all at once.
but breath by breath,
body by body,
back into our bones.

Kinship Spaces are for this kind of remembering

for rebuilding inner shelter, together.
Trauma-aware, relational spaces for integrating, unlearning, and returning to aliveness.
Join us this winter.

This week I sit down with the wise and wonderous Jade Miles of @black_barn_farm to talk about regeneration — of land, self, and systems.

It’s a deep and tender convo this one… we explore the function of loneliness, the wisdom of the long dark, and how we can sense our way through big transitions rather than rush clarity.

It’s a slow, reflective conversation for anyone navigating change or craving something deeper.

For those maybe lost or longing and wanting to know you’re not alone, this one is for you.

Tune in wherever you get your podcasts 🎧

This is a picture of me standing ‘in’ our dam … in the midst of drought.

The dryness is activating my threat response via my neuroception. It is resulting in hyper vigilance around the animal’s health …. I’m craving oily foods like fish and rich skin creams …. I’m drawn to the moss on the rocks as some kind of vivid sign of life amid the dust.

We are all experiencing drought in some form …. Not enough care, or connection, or purpose or support. This landscape affects our bodies and our nervous systems and our systems do not allow us to grieve the long dry adequately. We tell ourselves we are OK but our bodies are not.

My group spaces are places where we come together to integrate, to sense make, to find resonance, to seek something deeper and more connected.

They are spaces for:

✨those seeking something wilder
✨sensitives and neurokin looking for the purpose and meaning
✨those in transition seeking a new compass
✨practitioners and creatives and business owners yearning for trauma-informed, decolonial spaces

Are you ready to join?

I know how tender it can feel to step into spaces with others.

I see how many people want to work 1:1—because it feels safer, more contained, less vulnerable. And sometimes that is what’s most needed.

But I also want to say this gently: there is something magnificent that happens when we gather.

In my group coaching spaces, we remember that we were never meant to do this alone.

We reclaim our humanity as medicine.
We experience relational healing—being witnessed in our truth, in our mess, in our becoming—and we feel what it’s like to hold and be held.
We sense-make and find meaning together.
We build resilience not just as individuals, but as an ecosystem.
We begin to trust our voices—understanding that they have power and purpose.

In a world shaped by individualism, trauma, and disconnection, these spaces become a soft, strong antidote.

They are spaces to:
Heal wounds that happened in relationship through relationship

Reawaken the body’s wisdom in the company of others

Share stories that ripple with resonance

Experience kinship and care—the kind many of us have yearned for our whole lives, but looked for in places that couldn’t hold us

These times—these wildly complex, uncertain, beautiful times—are calling us to come together.
To unlearn aloneness.
To reweave what was torn.
To remember that our healing is collective.

Clients have said things like:
“I’ve never felt so seen.”
“This was the first time I shared that out loud.”
“This space changed the way I see myself—and others.”

If your body is whispering yes, even with a tremble, I’d love to welcome you into one of these group spaces.

These are intimate, trauma-informed containers for remembering, reconnecting, and reweaving.
Rooted in somatics, decolonial values, and regenerative practice, they support the restoration of wholeness across self, body, earth, and other.

You can find upcoming group coaching opportunities at my web home @megjberryman or DM me if you want to talk about what might be right for you.

You don’t have to do it alone.
You were never meant to.

The most medicinal thing I’ve been offered

And the most transformative thing I can give

Is affection, care and understanding

In times of sorrow, grief, outrage, joy, creativity or wild unbound expression.

Counter to what you may think

There is truly nothing more magnificent

More alive

More true

Than your humanness pushing through the rubble of conditioning and culture.

That moment - that pristine bid for connection

A searching to be met

Holds within it the potential

To heal the wound of shame

To repair the perception of otherness

To mend the trauma of aloneness.

And to start living more regeneratively

With more truth and connection

🌿 New episode alert!

I had the honour of having collapse psychologist and politicised grief tender @hollytruhlar on the podcast to explore the tender terrain of collective grief — how it lives in our bodies, shapes our choices, and connects us to what matters most.

In this wander we speak about:

✨ Grief as a portal to collective care
✨ The myth of individual resilience
✨ How slowing down can help us metabolise loss
✨ The quiet, radical act of tending to what hurts

This conversation is an invitation — not to fix or bypass, but to feel, honour, and be with the grief that so many of us are carrying.

#griefwork #regeneration #regenerativeways #somatics #traumarecovery #collapse #deepecology #regenerativeleadership #deepdemocracy

This is the work we do in my upcoming group containers Unbound, Tend, and Divest—gathering, unlearning systems, shedding the performance, and remembering how to belong to ourselves, the earth and each other.

Not going to lie - the last few months have been a total shitshow.

But. They are shaping me. I can feel it. This era is shaping me As only deep journeys into the underworld can.

When things keep happening beyond our control it renders all of our learned management strategies useless.

Leaving something more raw, more human, more vulnerable.

When you simply can’t deliver the cultural performance of getting up and getting on with it … when the performance of carrying on feels so utterly useless, we find out who we really are. Who we are beyond the learned strategies of doing and serving and maintaining a semblance of competence and togetherness.

In the wake of these really hard few months I find myself inexplicably a better, softer mum. A more potent practitioner. A tender of grief. Someone who has wisdom, not just knowledge. I find myself less innocent; but more fierce.

And rather than abandoning the things that culture says are irrelevant and doubling down on creating certainty and the illusion of control in tiles of crisis, I’m instead doubling down on continuing to live a life that feels alive even though every part of me wants to contract and get really small and really quiet.

As the current cohort of praxis and process nears completion, I’m opening THREE group containers for the second half the year (with a fourth program beginning in September). This is because I believe SO deeply the work we do has to be relational…. Because the era of hyper-independence is over.

Here’s a brief rundown of the containers:

🌱 unbound; a group coaching space for regenerative business owners (monthly calls)

🌱tend: a somatic study and group coaching space for folks looking for care and grief tending in times of polycrisis (monthly calls)

🌱divest: a group somatic coaching and co-working space designed to divest attention from systems that harm and reinvest it into care, creativity and activism: (fortnightly calls).

All the spaces will be somatic focused, systems aware, trauma-informed and neuro affirming. They’ll also be limited in numbers.

Head to my web home @megjberryman for deets or comment unbound, tend or divest and I can send you some info 🌱

This week I sit down with illustrator and educator Brenna Quinlan to chat about how creative communications and rediscovering our creative impulses can contribute to individual and collective regeneration.

I truly loathe that conversations about homeschooling happen in a vacuum.

Some of us respond to trauma and threats to our autonomy by learning to deeply inhabit and succeed in those systems.

Some of us respond to it by railing against those institutions that perpetuated harm.

All of us are trying to choose safety in complex times with complex lives. All of us are trying to make these decisions against a backdrop of relentless capitalism that pits surviving economically against thriving emotionally.

As a neurodivergent human who was lucky enough to be both homeschooled and formally schooled, I am trying to raise my kids with skills and emotional attunement and most of the time I fail miserably to meet the standards of either paradigm. And that’s ok.

Let’s not romanticise that for the most part it’s a shit fight either way.

There is no space for moral righteousness here - just messy humanity and a commitment to try to dial down the intense noise of colonial capitalism and listen to the little voices that can help us find new ways.

You know?

🎙️ The Wisdom in our Bones with Dr Rae Johnson 🎙️

In this episode of Hello Stasis, I sit down with Dr. Rae Johnson—somatic movement therapist, social justice educator, and author of Embodied Social Justice—to explore the transformative power of embodiment in both personal healing and collective liberation.

Rae shares insights from their decades of work at the intersection of somatics and social change, inviting us to consider how our bodies carry stories of power, identity, and resistance. We talk about how systems of oppression show up in the body, and how somatic awareness can help us respond—not just react—to the world around us.
I also reflect on my own experience studying with Rae, and how their teachings have profoundly shaped my activism and life. Together, we discuss embodiment as a radical, everyday practice that reconnects us to our own wisdom and to each other.

Whether you’re new to somatics or already exploring embodiment in your work or life, this episode offers grounding insights and gentle provocations. Take a breath, tune in, and join us for a deeply nourishing conversation.

As always I’d love to hear your thoughts - and if you loved it it would be so helpful if you can share it with your networks!

A few months ago, I broke my leg.

Actually I shattered my tibial head.

Surgery. Donor bone graft. Screws and hardware to hold it all together.

Like my bone I felt splintered —physically and emotionally.

But.

My body knew how to heal.

Even as I slept, even in pain, even when I doubted—it quietly knit bone, reformed tissue, rewired strength.

Not because I forced it.
Not because I “pushed through.”
But because healing is our nature.

This season taught me something I didn’t expect:
🌱That trust is a practice.
🌱That regeneration is not a theory—it’s in us.
🌱That our bodies, like the Earth, are wildly intelligent and worthy of reverence.

As the world around us fractures—systems failing, certainties dissolving—I’m learning about the kind of trust that sustains.

Hoping to be caught by systems that oppress us is called free fall. Building a nest that can catch us is the only way.

It starts from within.
From our bodies.
From deep Earth time.
From relational repair.

We are not broken. We are healing.
We don’t need fixing. We need remembering.
We are not machines. We are ecosystems.

Let’s rebuild trust—
Not in collapsing systems—
But in ourselves, each other, and this regenerating planet.

So that like my bone, we can reknit what was broken and rediscover our strength.

What you are feeling is not a lack of capacity

It’s a lack of connection and care.

PS - look at what a big boy Pie is now!

Earlier this year I nearly collapsed back into the bosom of whitewashed business bullshit …

I convinced myself that I needed a new website, a new course, a new professional version of me and that if I could be perfect and consistent enough, all my monetary dreams would come true.

It was a misguided attempt at soothing the fear that I often feel when I realise that full time homeschooling + part time work + capitalism = empty bank accounts.

The wild thing is that I actually nearly re-convinced myself that my spending (a lot) of money to fix all my perceived deficits would leave me better off 🤣 as in - having less money would make me feel like I had more.

Eventually I soothed somatically the actual sensation of pain and fear - and went on with my life and work. But it reminded me just how insidious colonial capitalism is … even within my echo chamber.

The truth is that running a business in a way that honours humans and bodies is slower. It’s less adrenalised. It’s quieter and not as shiny.

To do business in this way I have two jobs - I consult and do coaching/creative work in order to make enough money. And we still run out.

I work at nights + when I can around care. Because my business moulds around the shape of me rather than forcing me to fit in a stereotype.

I’ve had seasons of lots and seasons of none. And the value I put on my work and on myself remains consistent regardless of income or profit.

My website is a DIY one and people can take a long time to ever purchase anything because we are building a relationship over time through words and shared experience (I’m ok with this because once they do they often stay and become friends and peers and our lives are interwoven).

I don’t get nearly enough time to be creative because I like to send long emails to clients and so extra things for them that delight them or check in to see how they are doing.

When I myself invest in mentorship I try to look beyond who has the shiniest website and the loudest voice - to those who have depth beyond the shopping cart.

The thing is …. I’ve had all the bells and whistles.
I’ve had the whitewashed version of it. And it was exhausting.

7 weeks post op and finally got back on Bowie without bearing any weight. It took a table, some creative manoeuvring and very good boy but we did it!

The only downside was I asked Dave to take a photo of the triumphant moment but instead he took it as I was mounting and it looks either like I’m in excruciating pain or I’m doing a poo (neither which was the case fyi). Anyway I’m celebrating regardless because it was a good day.

I’ve been thinking though about how the white cis hetero patriarchy sucks the life out of neurodivergent people … and how regenerative it is to reclaim the few good days we have a month (you know those manic, creative epic connective visionary days) back for ourselves or our neurokin.

At the risk of sounding arrogant (but also… most of the time I’m knee deep in self doubt and embodied contraction so indulge me for a sec)….

I can’t tell you how many workplaces I’ve worked in where my epic connector vibes and creative gifts and capacity to hyperfocus and get shit done and my capacity to solve problems and build bridges have been wheeled out to make my male bosses look good. Or how muggles have taken advantage of my empathy and clawed at me til I’m empty.

Truly - I’m so fucking over it.

And so I’m reclaiming the few good days knowing that for me time on my special interests is the fuel that drives me to create, to coach, to care. And that if the conditions were present where all neurokin could channel their creative force instead of using it up just trying to survive (or uphold systems that harm us) then the world would look really different.

Anyone else feel this? Or has 7 weeks of not walking taken its toll on my thoughts? 🤣

Ps - I have a few spots over Easter if you want to talk burnout recovery, plotting a revolution (or both). Sessions are prepaid and can be booked and bought online. @megjberryman
