About the remembering
The Remembering is a union of facilitators and friends, conceptualised in 2021 by Brydie Rowan.
They met through various trainings and continued on to complete all of the trainings together through the years, to eventually qualify as
co-facilitators in this potent and beautiful work.
They realised early on, that there was a kindred spirit between them - they share a profound capacity for joy and depth - and this is what they bring to their work.
The Remembering is a profound, yet joyful processing style of self development, and the style of facilitation is one that creates an environment of both steadiness and joy, of holding the polarity of what it means to be human with compassion and realness.
Another fundamental element that sits at the heart of this practice is a deep love of Nature, and they run their retreats in stunning, majestic natural environments.
This page is still a work in progress, so please bear with us as we edit and add to it.

Founder & facilitator
Brydie first heard about the concept of the shadow in a book, a book about Jung and Jungian concepts when she was a terrible teen.
Years later in conversation Parts Work came up....and kept coming up for a couple of years before she decided to find out what this work was about and if it could help her to see why certain patterns were looping in her life...
Patterns of behaviour...in relationship to others and self...in the way she was experiencing life.
Her first experience of parts work was in a group of women (this work can be practiced in specific gender/non binary group or mixed group settings) over a weekend.
Then one on one Parts Work coaching over a couple of years.
Following that first weekend, she experienced a very real and positive shift in relationship to herself, connection to others and her sense of direction in life.
She is trained in various modalities, and has designed and hosted classes, workshops, trainings and group circles and events for over 20 years.
The creative physicality of the process balanced with the emotional and psychological insight really makes sense to her - and is touched by how profound, shame free and illuminating the work can be.
Having trained consistently in this work for 3 years and assisted her Mentors for that time in between trainings she now coaches Men and Women, and runs both Women's group work and mixed group work.
It is work that aligns with Brydie's approach to life..... one of creativity, joy and depth.
Outside of facilitating self development, Brydie has facilitated movement over the last 16 years, and loves food, nature, music and the arts and connection - and finds life rich for these things.

code of ethics
We think it very important for you to know not just how we work, but the standards and ethical codes that we adhere to, below is an outline of this - our training is rigorous and so is the professional hygeine around this work.
Basic Principles
We strive to maintain a shame-free, non-judgmental environment for/with our participants and clients.
As a general rule, we do not initiate the direction of a participant’s work; we allow them to choose where they want to go.
When working with groups, we always facilitate with a partner. In mixed gender groups, this partnership must consist of a man and a woman.
As a general rule, we do not role-play a support person for a participant, in order to keep our function as facilitator from being seen as a real support person by the participant.
We work in accordance with our own competence and the participant’s needs.
limitations of the work
We will not work with a participant who is considering suicide. We would refer them to professional help instead.
As a general rule, we will not work with a participant or client who is actively alcoholic or seriously drug-addicted. We recommend they get “clean” first.
We acknowledge that we are not trained as sex or trauma therapists so we may well, as appropriate, recommend participants to suitable professionals in these fields.
Professional Standards
We agree to recertify every two years.
We agree to keep doing our own personal work, which includes undergoing a personal process, facilitated by certified Parts work facilitators/coaches, at least every year as part of our professional maintenance.
It is highly recommended having an active practice of being facilitated on a regular basis. This supports us in staying in touch with the experience of being facilitated and in being aware of what does and does not work as well as helping us to manage our own emotional issues.
We agree to be covered by adequate insurance as appropriate in each country.
Relationships with Clients/Participants
We will not use the relationship with the client or participant to our own advantage or benefit beyond the provision of the services we agree to provide.
We respect the right of a client to terminate the relationship at any point.
We are committed to maintaining consciousness of the power differential in the relationship between participant/client and facilitator/coach and an awareness of the bonding patterns that may arise between us. We are willing to take responsibility for our participation in this dynamic.
We agree not to start a new romantic or sexual relationship with a client – or even discuss a romantic or sexual relationship – for a minimum of six months after we have completed the sessions. If, after this time, we do want to start a relationship with a participant or client, we will first discuss this with another certified shadow work practitioner and, if appropriate, a supervisor.
· We agree to maintain confidentiality around a client’s identity, issues, and work.
We may disclose confidential information without consent, if statute or law requires disclosure or if we believe it to be essential to prevent a crime or harm to another individual.
In cases where disclosure is considered appropriate, we will inform the client/participant and disclose only such information as is relevant.
All facilitators are fully trained and insured.
