Meeting Fanny in 2011 was a turning point in my life! It was through her – through silence, embodied presence, and deep acceptance – that I truly began to experience what it means to be in contact with myself and with another human being. I began to recognize who I am… and who I am not.
The way Fanny holds space is incredibly gentle, yet deeply true and transformative. She creates such a safe environment that the whole system, so used to vigilance, tension, and protection, can finally soften. Her presence offers tangible support and a sense of trust – that it’s safe to go deeper, that this time, there will be no judgment, no dismissal, no rejection.
Fanny also invites a mindful listening to the body. To feel where an impulse comes from, what movement is trying to emerge, what the body wants to express. This subtle work with embodiment opened me to an even deeper level of truth – beyond words, into the depth of experience stored in the body.
For the rest of my life, I will be grateful that Fanny appeared in my life. Thank you. Kasia
The retreat felt like a little death, only to be reborn in the same form but with all colours brighter and more radiant. Every time I work with you, I feel that I find new parts of me, which have been forgotten or abandoned. My life doesn’t exactly get easier, but both richer and more essential. The ingredients of my psyche/my internal voices are still all there, in fact sometimes more so, but their game seems ever less believable, the great battles within me lessen, and there is a great sense of peace. Carmen
Blessed indeed is this work. Step by step, moment by moment, exploring ‘Who am I?”, “Who am I really?’ What is happening now? , step by step coming closer to being more truly myself, more able to accept myself and express myself as I am. Old beliefs and tendencies have started to fall away and I find I am living in this great adventure of life, full of fresh discoveries. Jane
Movement of Being has transformed my life for the better. Fanny & Colin’s presence, love & wisdom have enabled me to move from an often lost, alienated, separate & dissociated place, to a richer, more heartful, connected & embodied life. The journey continues. Barry
So many things I love about Movement of Being! So much growth along the years with like minded souls, so much awakening, so much wisdom, so much heart; love it, love it, love it!
Meaningful, worthwhile, precious, the best investment ever! Blanca
This work has changed my life. It has given me a new way of being. An opening to the possibility of living in the moment; more spacious, more heart connected to everything. It is a practise that I will continue for the rest of my life. Colin and Fanny have been the best guides and I wouldn't be the person I am today without them. Warren
These retreats have brought me closer to my aliveness and heartfulness. This is where I have learned to be more and more at ease with myself and others, more able to relate from love. Simple, profound, life changing. Increasing my capacity to relax, be curious and courageous in the face of difficulty and experience so-called problems dissolve. Cath
This work has catalysed an enormous transformation in my life! This is continuing, my view and sense of myself has improved so much over the last 10 years that I have been exploring movement of being! I have learned how to love life and be part of it rather than being separate. Andrew
Over a span of 20 years I have had the incredible privilege of receiving Fanny and Colin’s profound love, guidance and wisdom as I have gradually discovered and softened into the truth of what I am; a loving conscious being. Thank you thank you thank you 1000 times. Siobhan
Dear Fanny, I am writing to you on a very hot Roman day. I feel a new state of awareness blossoming and I always thank your fundamental contribution: I imagine it and feel it like the light breeze and the scent of flowers that I appreciate more than ever today. What was transmitted to me through your being is something profound in simplicity, which has helped me a lot on the path of presence. Translating it into words is not easy, but in trying I would say acceptance and breathing in the present, listening to the body's needs for movement, and the sensations that derive from it, reconnecting to what is the great flow and therefore the Movement of Life. I dance every day, but now even in a simple gesture like that of a breath I see and feel my chest opening, opening and withdrawing like the flowers of a field do when that breeze passes, feeling in tune with the movement of Being. It is a great step that sees everything I had experienced up to now, made aware at an even deeper level. It's not an easy time for me, I've reached a painful core and I'm in the midst of chaos, but now I'm dancing in that chaos, and even if I still don't know where to go, I'm sure that this "movement" of simplicity and gratitude will lead me there naturally, because the movement of Life is perfect and now I feel more and more part of this perfection. ✨🌸✨🌿🌾🍃 Giulia

This work has provided a context in my search of “me” . I am, again and again, discovering myself; Giving myself permission - Enlivening every dimension of my Being, which is alive, has a body and moves; it enjoys “moving” in the world, unburdened by ancient restrictions. I am me, like a crystal: many facets: many parts, voices, perspectives, emotions. Many me’s that need meeting; acceptance, pure love and vivacity, inclusion,
Through these I am finding inner balance and peace. Discovering others are similar to me and resonating with them in emotions, meeting them, welcoming them and “dancing” together. Recognizing my gifts, taking them on, polishing them :-) and with proud humility putting them into the flow. Thank you Fanny! Gianfranca
In working with you I am finding the possibility to see that nothing can be taken for granted, fixed, immutable. It is enabling me to experiment with the possibilities of change that exist for me and for my life. I am finding how to welcome with love all the parts of me and of others, without needing to solve anything, but opening up as we find together the possibility of meeting. It is the pure joy of living fully. Paola
The work with Fanny has brought deep transformation, wonder, pacification. And I am increasingly finding that the beauty is that nothing is ever lost. Salvio

The work with Fanny has helped me find my spiritual path and helped me awaken. I participate more fully in life. My relationships have changed. There is something more real and vital in my contact with people. I am aware of LOVE which before I suppose I imagined rather than lived. I have a different relationship with my body – I feel healthier, more alive on a physical level.
Life is full of surprises. I meet people or things happen to me which have a magical quality. I don’t have to create my future but it reveals itself to me in a way far richer and beyond my limited imagination. I embrace the dark, the unwanted, and sometimes I discover an inexplicable joy there too. Fiona
Working with Fanny and Colin has given me a sense that it is possible for me to live FULLY as a man, able to own and express the full 360 radius of who I am. Without fear or danger to myself or those around me because I am present in my body, landed, grounded (at least at the best of times!). I am able to take my speace in life and ask that it be given to me. I found my partner and love on a workshop with Fanny. Her and Colin are able to receive all of me, the beauty and the beast and so I am also able to live them fully and give them as my gifts.
Dear Fanny and Colin,
It was a joy to meet you – and an extraordinary weekend for me… such a joy to speak from the heart… to feel welcome as I am…. Without anything being expected of me… to be honest about my feelings… to connect without merging. Unravelling is a good word; unravelling in a safe space. Stephanie
Doing the ongoing group with you has changed my life. I used to be very hard work for myself and I rarely came down below my head level. Now I get to feel and live my life, and that amounts to everything… and nothing…
‘tenderness is creeping in to my life and I blame you ENTIRELY’…
Huge armfuls of gratitude of your gently fierce wisdom, which shines with a passion and allows me to be more than my mistaken identity – which I am starting to grow out of!
Since the weekend I have been so curious to be living my life! I’ve been stroking my son’s hair a lot and he’s been letting me! And I have had glorious love-making with my husband (which isn’t always easy for us); ive been following my energy levels with less judgement than usual, sleeping when I need to, being active when I need to. Sarah
I found your beauty, gentleness and grounded wisdom a joy, a relief, a comfort. Helena
I am more me than ever before… I am blown away by the retreat. Nothing is the same. I am noticing the level of stress I live with all the time; I am seeing that my feelings are not what I think they are. I am hugely grateful to you for this opening. It is painful but wonderful. The retreat was one of the most marvellous things I have ever done in my life. Laura
Dear fanny,
Just to say I hardly know who I am any more. I felt so much energy and space inside me yesterday and capacity for life, even after a very difficult meeting which brought up a lot of anger for me. So I wonder what is possible now! Janey
Just to say a big THANK YOU to you both for the amzing time, for your love and support. I have really appreciated having time to digest the experience at home since the retreat instead of going straight back to work. I can feel the difference! So much went on in and around me, I can feel a big expansion, like I am a balloon that’s been blown up and even if I deflate at times and get a bit wrinkly I KNOW now that I am BIGGER! Sally
