Interoception is the noticing, recognition and accurate interpretation of our internal body signals; in simple terms it’s the body and brain’s system that enables us to feel. For people with autism or other neurodivergent brains, interoception is often atypical, creating barriers to noticing, recognising and managing their feelings and emotions. Our programmes can help and support neurodiverse people, however, they can assist everyone to be more in tune with themselves, connect positively to others/tāngata katoa and the land/whenua.
No matter what programme or workshop is right for you we have a passionate, caring and experienced team ready to guide and support you to share, learn and grow. Whether as an individual or a group, our programmes or workshops will take you through evidence-based activities to empower you to improve your lives through better interpersonal relationships.
