my still place
find your center
in the chaos
what’s your still place?
Is it an internal anchor? Perhaps a solid keel that keeps your ship sailing level through turbulent waters? A deep well that keeps you cool in the heat of the moment? Or a quiet place like our photo above…
…or maybe it’s just home
but why have a still place?
Or an internal anchor?
Ever noticed how your impulses get you in trouble?
Wouldn’t it be nice to put an end to your knee-jerk reactions?
where is your still place?
How do you find your way back home when you’re all turned around?
How do you re-center yourself in the chaos without self-medicating or shutting yourself down?
So, are you interested in finding your internal anchor?
Do you want to learn how to retrace your steps when life leads you down the garden path?
Would it be useful for you to develop mindsight and deconstruct exactly how you got knocked off center, and learn how to get yourself back on track?
well… that’s what we do!

so how does it work?
It may help to understand what differentiates this work from other modalities of transformation and healing. In this work the premise is that you are already whole. Most of us can remember an experience of profound well-being we’ve had at some point in our lives. Using the still place approach, we believe that this state of wholeness is your natural state. There are countless ways to label this state of being and I’m calling it my still place, some might call it our “center”, “quiet place” or “home,” but suffice it to say we all can recognize the experience, no matter what words we use to describe it. So, what do you know this place to be?
Just about all of us have a kind of equilibrium, which acts as a beacon, lighting the path home to ourselves. Our facilitators point out and mirror the light of this beacon, encouraging you to follow it to its source: home. The experience of my still place is one of joy, contentment, creative responsiveness and a spacious playfulness which allows for the entire range of emotional possibilities to arise without resistance.
Again, just about all of us can recognize when we are not in that place of well-being, because as soon as we leave that still place we begin to suffer home-sickness. The entire spectrum of suffering, all the way from mild irritation or slight boredom to emotional upheaval or breakdown is the result of leaving that place.
What we do in this work is examine how and why we abandon our natural state of being. Once you’ve identified and remember where your still place is, our facilitators will then encourage and guide you to recognize the pathways you took to abandon your still place. With guidance, you’ll become more and more subtly aware of your exit strategies.
And the journey becomes one of deep inquiry and genuine curiosity about how you are the creator of your own inner conflict and pain. Once you become truly aware of how you do this to yourself, the path home becomes beautifully apparent.
Ideally, you shouldn’t need years of therapy and treatment to recognize and enjoy the delight of coming home to yourself. As you develop this practice of remaining in center, you could even become your own healer. The work then becomes a moment-by-moment practice to stay present to ourselves with diligent, kind and loving intent.
There is an old story about a Zen master who is traveling with his sincere and diligent disciple. On their journey one day they are somehow split up and for a long time the student cannot find his old master. He is starting to get quite upset and worried about his teacher when he comes to a wide, raging river and sees his master calmly observing him from the opposite bank of the torrent. The disciple cups his hands to his mouth and yells out, “Master! How do I get to the other side?” The master yells back, “Dear student, are you aware that you are on the other side?”
“Awareness in and of itself is curative.” – Fritz Perls
testimonials
“I was invited into Billy’s Group not long before Christmas 2019, through a friend.
I consider myself to be on a spiritual journey, something that started in 2013 with a near-death experience following a period of 2-3 years of trauma.
I have been on a spectacular journey in recent years which feels like it has been constant healing.
The work I’ve done personally and the work I see being done, twice a week, every week, for 6 months now, has been transformational.
I see Billy guiding people to what he describes as their still place. I sense it as being our ‘heart centre’, the centre of our feelings ‘system’, a unique and different intelligence to the brain. It feels like pure energy, pure love.
Billy is patient, yet challenging. He’s very aware of where each person is at during his sessions. He encourages gently, probes and pushes when it’s the right thing to do.
I describe Billy as an ‘Earth Angel’ and if you get the opportunity to take part in his ‘process’ I encourage you to grab that opportunity with both hands and both feet! You’ll be working with a man of wisdom, compassion, courage and love.
You’ll change. You’ll transform. You’ll love others more. You’ll love yourself more. You’ll be in grave danger of loving life a lot more.
The best thing I can recommend is that you try it. Take action. Now.”
