Past Events

As part of our Spring Series, we hosted Renew & Regenerate, a somatic taster session with Nadia, focused on creating intentional “me time” to reconnect with your internal state. 

We explored the foundations of somatic experiencing, nervous system survival responses, and the science of regulation, alongside a beautifully calming guided practice. The session invited participants to cultivate curiosity about their present experience without judgement and introduced simple tools to support everyday nervous system regulation. 

It was a well-attended session with excellent feedback, described as both grounding and empowering. 

This was Nadia’s second time working with us at TABB, and we look forward to welcoming her back again soon.

We recently hosted a powerful and thought-provoking session with Jodie Slee, a trauma-informed psychosexual and relationship therapist and EMDR practitioner with over 17 years of experience. 

The event was incredibly well attended and sparked a rich level of engagement, with thoughtful questions and open discussion throughout. It was clear this is a topic that resonates deeply with women at all stages of sobriety. 

Jodie explored intimacy in its fullest sense, moving far beyond the narrow definition of sex, and instead opening up a wider conversation around connection: 

• Connection with ourselves
• Connection with others
• Connection with the world around us

She brought particular depth to how intimacy evolves in sobriety, especially for women navigating early recovery through to long-term sobriety. 

A key theme was the role alcohol often plays as a buffer—helping to manage difficult emotions, social anxiety, past trauma, or disconnection. Without it, many women find themselves relearning how to experience closeness, vulnerability, and emotional connection in a completely new way. 

Jodie’s approach, grounded in trauma-informed practice and evidence-based therapeutic models, focused on helping women: 

• Rebuild a sense of safety and agency
• Reconnect with themselves and their needs
• Navigate intimacy with greater awareness and self-trust

She answered questions with both compassion and clinical insight, creating a space where women felt understood, supported, and informed. 

A particularly valuable aspect of the session was its relevance to midlife women, including those navigating peri- and post-menopause—an area often overlooked but deeply connected to identity, relationships, and intimacy. 

This session was not only informative, but genuinely empowering offering a hopeful perspective on how sobriety can lead to more authentic, grounded, and meaningful relationships. 

Due to the level of interest and the importance of this topic, we will be inviting Jodie back to TABB later this year to continue the conversation. 

Jodie generously gave us her presentation which is available in the resources section of the website for our members.

This event focused on self-worth and its impact on personal development, led by Annie Rowan, who discussed how low self-worth can hinder individuals from achieving their full potential.

Annie explained that self-worth is deeply rooted in early childhood experiences and can be influenced by seemingly minor events that children internalize as their fault. She conducted a guided meditation exercise to help participants connect with their younger selves and release any associated shame or guilt.

The session aimed to help attendees understand the origins of their self-worth and empower them to move forward, aligning their beliefs with their desired life outcomes. It was a powerful session and we hope to see Annie back at TABB in the future.

Nadia delivered a truly wonderful Festive Somatic Reset Masterclass for TABB for Women. She was highly professional, extremely knowledgeable and so calm and reassuring in her delivery. The session was informative yet deeply relaxing, striking the perfect balance between learning and embodied experience. 

She covered the basics beautifully, using thoughtful, creative slides that made everything easy to understand and accessible and she shared a range of practical tools and techniques that our members can genuinely use to reset and regulate themselves over the Christmas period.

Nadia’s voice is exceptional as a guide - so warm, steady and grounding - and many of our members commented that they could happily listen to her all day. 

Thank you Nadia, for such a nourishing and generous session. I would absolutely recommend you to anyone interested in somatic work, mindfulness, and nervous system support.

We were thrilled to welcome JOMO Independent Brand to our community for a sparkling showcase of flavour, creativity, and alcohol-free inspiration.
