Your nervous system is not broken.

It is doing exactly what it was designed to do. The peaks, the troughs, the crashes and the moments of flow , that is not dysfunction. That is biology. The problem is not the states themselves. The problem is that you do not have a map, you do not have a toolkit, and no one has ever taught you how to work with them deliberately.

That is what Future Appreciation Foundations is for.

"An entire day of guided introspection by The Broad Place’s nourishing (in ALL the ways) ways it a treat in itself."

The bonus is all the take homes that stay impregnated in your brain. Some smack you in between the eyes then and there, others trickle down and others are there planted for you when you might need to access them later. What a day of true nourishment in every sense of the word.

"The sessions so skillfully facilitated by Jac provided a safe and judgment free space for amazing growth both individually and as a community of like
minded women."

The practical tools I have learned are invaluable and enriched my life greatly. The ability for Jac to personally tailor nuanced content and NOT promote a ‘one size fits all’ approach is truly remarkable.

"It’s 100% the most life changing thing I have
ever done."

I had no idea what to expect when coming to The Broad Place and it’s not something I would have done if a friend didn’t encourage me. It’s 100% the most life changing thing I have ever done. From a teaching perspective Jac made it fun and very easy to relate to and I will be recommending her program to anyone that cares to listen.

"At the Future Appreciation day I made friends with my nervous system."

Jac has distilled over two decades of practice, teaching and study - in the space where place spirituality and neuroscience meet - into a seemingly simple toolkit for living with more ease on the inner rollercoaster that is a human life. I came away with a simple yet deeply felt sense of how to tenderly roll will myself through the nervous system highs and lows that are part of how I tick; with a kit of quick somatic tools to ‘dance a little up’ and ‘dance a little down’ when I find myself out of whack.

In the days since the workshop the tools have slotted effortlessly into my life: I stand and bang my heels on the ground between meetings and hum my way back down to earth at the end of a big day. Maybe most usefully for me, I am feeling less preoccupied with maintaining a narrow steady state. Jac reminded me that, when our nervous system doesn’t have us by the scruff of our necks, our unique aliveness exists in the dance up and down.

"To have a moment in life where you feel completely welcome, completely understood and embraced by those you don’t know even in the absence of words, is an indescribable gift."

To experience such a place leaves one feeling humbled, gracious and honoured.

You will not find these spaces or opportunities often in life and with Jac and the Broad Place you will find something significant and lasting. With deep deep gratitude and love, thank you for the work you do.

"It goes without saying that I love being in the same room as Jac, learning from her, receiving her warm and authentic energy and laughing at her jokes."

But what I love even more that this is how I feel the days after, more spacious, more aware of nature, more loving to my family and more able to feel into the awe and wonder of being a human on planet earth. 

Fleur Chambers

"I really loved the Future Appreciation experience and Jac's amazing teaching and facilitation."

She shares her knowledge and insights in a beautifully accessible way.  She helps us engage with life-bringing, emotionally-regulating practices and her group facilitation built such connection and joy across the day.  I had several 'Aha!' 'Oh wow!' moments, which I'm taking with me.  I warmly recommend Jac and Future Appreciation.
