AETHERA ~
bridging the spiritual and physical dimensions of our being.
Beneath the personal stories of trauma and attachment,
and beyond somatic approaches to the physical body,
these practices are a training in inhabiting the subtle energy body;
the field where sensation, vibration and consciousness meet.
By learning to surround intensity with vibrational spaciousness,
our relationship to the inner world begins to reorganise.
Dropping beneath perception and personal narrative,
allows a deeper intelligence to reveal itself directly in the body.
As we learn to rest into our energy body as our default mode,
we not only taste the truth of this sacred incarnation,
but we learn to meet our humanness with embodied grace:
for feelings are the vibrations we unknowingly yearn to receive.
This is a year-long, practice-based sanctuary
for the hyper-feeling, seasoned practitioners of the inner realms;
those whose sensitivity reaches deep into the unconscious
and who long to connect at these depths, together.
A ONE-YEAR PRACTICE SANCTUARY
FOR THOSE WHO LIVE & WORK IN THE DEPTHS
MODULE • 1
4 MAY—29 JUNE 2026
~
This foundational module trains attention to rest within the subtle, energetic body as the ground of being. Without this shift, essence remains confined to the physical body and moves through limited and restricted pathways, giving rise to a deep sense of separation, fear, shame and aloneness. As this connection is restored, we begin to feel and trust the subtle energetic vibration of our essence, silently pouring through the body, and reconnect to this radiance of being beneath our sense of separation.
MODULE • 2
14 SEPT—24 NOV 2026
~
This module develops the capacity to disidentify from story directly through sensation. By learning to soothe and receive intensity as vibration, the hyper feeler gains access to deeper layers of consciousness that are otherwise locked by story and personal narrative. The very sensitivity that destabilises us becomes the means by which we recognise fragmented states, not as obstacles, but as gateways into dimensions of consciousness that have been hidden by the mechanisms of our own misperception.
MODULE • 3
25 JAN—22 MAR 2027
~
Through cultivating refined intimacy with the most subtle sensations of pleasure, we develop the capacity to stabilise in expanded, relaxed states of consciousness with ease and potency. At the same time, sensual self-love practices illuminate incredibly subtle, unseen layers of contraction, self-protection and shame; restrictions we unknowingly live within. As we turn towards our experience with expanded awareness, the radiance of being becomes accessible, and increasingly easier to rest within.
A FIELD OF RESONANCE
In isolation,
experience collapses
into personal wrongness.
Practicing together,
our collective nature
is revealed.
When judgement falls away,
separation dissolves
and the sacred
becomes tangible.
The hyper feeler’s way of knowing lives in
the vibrations and sensations of the feeling body.
Yet in a world that rejects much of the feeling realm,
we grow up believing something is wrong with us:
too much, too intense, too sensitive. Self-centred.
Our bodies, in many ways, a record of all that is exiled.
We internalise the shame and lose touch with its innocence.
If we continue to relate to our experience
through the lens of brokenness,
seeking understanding from models
that are not designed to meet these vibrational depths,
we will remain caught in an ancient distortion.
But when we gather with those who share this inner dexterity,
where nothing is split, held back, toned down or hidden
something extraordinary begins to happen.
We are shadow dwellers, creatures of the deep.
And when we sit together
in practice and shared, embodied wisdom,
the gift of this subtle-bodied sensitivity begins to take root.
THE INVITATION
This video speaks to the intention behind this immersion. A year of deep, nourishing, embodied, feelings-based tantric practice, where feelings and intensity become the gateway into the subtle and vibrational realms of being. Not to transcend this world, but to enter it fully. As we do, the sacred becomes a living reality, within this body, this moment and inside the very sensations we’ve spent a lifetime trying to escape.
THREE MODULES
This video speaks to how the year unfolds through three immersive modules, each followed by time for integration. We begin by inhabiting the subtle, vibrational field of Space. From there, we immerse into two months of learning to disidentify from story and solidity by jumping realms into the present moment sensations and vibrations beneath: Feelings. The final module turns us towards Pleasure and the subtle, energetic vibrations that silently and continuously pour through us, but are strangely out of reach. A two-month immersion in cultivating our capacity to enter into and stabilise our connection to the sacred.
MODULE STRUCTURE
Each module runs for nine weeks.
4 practices taught in each module, with two weeks devoted to each.
The ninth week is held as a dedicated integration group.
There will be a 2-3 month integration period between each module.
Here, we deepen into the 4 practices and stay connected through Mighty Networks.
Plus one individual session per module.
Small groups mean there is space for you in group.
THREE COHORTS
This practice immersion unfolds over one year, through three two-month deep dives. There will be three groups running concurrently, each held as a small and intimate container. This allows for the safety and trust needed for this level of radically authentic group work.
Two groups will meet online and one in-person group will be held in Mullumbimby on Monday nights.
THE COMMITMENT
This video speaks to the commitment: he financial and energetic commitment, along with our commitment to each other.
This immersion is devoted to building the understanding and capacity to bring practice into daily life, so it becomes effortless, supportive and replenishing, rather than hard work. Practices develop the capacity to disidentify from story AND is an initiation into resting in the vibrational nature of our essence as our ground. A path of immanence, not transcendence.

A NOTE ON VALUE
This is a year-long practice sanctuary
where daily practice, group field and relational safety,
held over time, opens deep, experiential change.
A NOTE ON COMMITMENT
This immersion is a full-year commitment.
Our conditioning is deep.
Without continuity, we fall back to sleep.
Practice is not effort, it’s relief.
Payment plans are offered to support ease,
while honouring the integrity of the container.
SPACE
When sensation arises,
do not alter it.
Do not pursue it.
Do not suppress it.
Rest in the space
in which it appears.
Mahamudra, Moonlight
We live inside a bodies that are anciently conditioned.
Moving into and away from both sensation and space,
fearing it, judging it, feeling separate from it.
Unaware of how this foundational layer of experience
is unconsciously animating us all.
Somehow, we have come to fear our essence.
For hyper feelers, this dimension of experience
is heightened, often bursting at the seams.
This wouldn’t be a problem if we knew how to receive it.
But within the human condition,
we identify to all these energetic movements as ME.
Endless stories of personal wrongness and brokenness,
create further tension.
So much so, that we feel separate
from the very field of energy that is our essence.
But separation and oneness aren’t abstract concepts.
They’re a felt-sense experience that we are living within.
Even as we begin to look for the vibration of space
into which everything arises,
unconscious layers of tension,
(that us hyper feelers can feel),
begin to unwind and release.
A tangible gateway opens,
and the replenishing nectar of existence
begins to move through our sacred bodies
not as theory, but as vibrational reality.

FEELINGS
Bliss is not added
to experience,
it’s what remains
when nothing
is resisted.
Buddhist Saying
As we learn to meet our experience beneath story,
we build a capacity to move, again and again,
from intense activation in the body
into deep, down-regulated, vibrational calm.
A profound and unexpected experience
of the most nourishing radiance.
Intensity and activation become the gateway.
Waking us from the dream that feels so real.
As hyper feelers, we can move between realms,
from the solidity of story,
into the sensations and vibrations beneath.
Meet it as me, and everything contracts.
Meet it as what we are all running from,
what we are profoundly misperceiving,
and space begins to open. Tangibly!
As trust grows,
as we learn to inhabit and navigate
the vibrational realms of being,
energy begins to move more and more freely.
The sense of separateness softens.
We taste oneness as a truth, directly in the body.
The story that felt 100% true just moments before,
opens with a breath of freedom,
into new, unimaginable possibilities.

PLEASURE
Pleasure
is one of the few places
where radiance
is still allowed to speak.
Lorella Ricci
Trapped in the physical, moralised and wrapped in shame.
What is inherently luminous
has been framed and distorted as perversion.
A laziness. A weakness of the human realm.
And yet, if we question our fear,
the sensual realms reveal themselves
as the most potent doorway to sacred radiance.
A presence so stabilised and clear.
How could we have missed it?
Without rushing, without performing and with no agenda,
other than turning towards this sacred body
with curiosity, sensitivity and care.
As the receptors of radiance begin to awaken,
the layers of unconscious bracing, shame and taboo,
silently constricting our being,
begin to soften and thaw out.
Ancient strategies are illuminated,
ready to be lovingly and patiently received.
As inner landscapes expand beyond the physical,
the ancient pull into separation and contraction loosens.
Thinking, efforting, striving …
all give way to the profound experience of Being.
A state of utter receptivity.

TESTIMONIALS
I can truly say that Lorella’s work and her meditation practices have changed my life. Her powerful warmth and authenticity shines through the practices that sustain, nourish and hold me daily. I have learnt more about myself and others than I knew was possible, and continues to transform constantly.
GS, Psychotherapist
Lorella’s teachings have profoundly transformed my life, both personally and professionally. Previous trainings I have done (eg somatic psychotherapy) have often framed big feelings as trauma—something scary that needs to be confronted perhaps slowly, but relatively directly, searching for the root cause and looking for healing within my own life story. The truth is that after many years, I have often found this approach to be overwhelming and never ending… as if I will never overcome the grip of my trauma and its impact on my life decisions and reactions to the world.
Conversely, meditation and other spiritual practices have taught me to bypass intense feelings, treating them as illusions of suffering or hinderances to enlightenment.
With Lorella, meeting sensation without resistance, it offers a beautiful, balanced approach, bringing all the best bits of psychotherapy, spirituality and meditation together. She has taught me to regard some of my most intense and overwhelming feelings as ancient… beyond my own personal life story. As sweet, distressed aspects that are yearning for and so deserving of my respect and honour.
Her approach allows for embracing emotions in a less intimidating way without becoming consumed by them and without dismissing them entirely.
It has honestly been life-changing.
Lorella is a phenomenal teacher. Thank you, Lorella, for bringing this invaluable work to the world!
DC, Psychotherapist
The inner navigation program has been such an important and transformative journey for me. The level of intimacy I am exploring within myself has opened doorways for me to be more open with my vulnerability and show up with more spacious authenticity in the world and in all my relationships.
I am so grateful for this work, which to me feels so radical: a calling into being and feeling deeply in resonance with the aliveness of the world.
Lorella’s guidance is refined and exquisite. She can meet me in these deep places, where the strongest feelings arise, with so much grounding, curiosity and empathy. And I appreciate how she is embodying her teaching in each step of the process with everyone in the group.
EP, Psychotherapist
This Immersion was one of a kind. Lorella teaches feelings in a way that no one else does. So many people in the group said, “I can finally just feel this, thank you!” This is a step away from the over psychologising and overthinking that is everywhere these days. If you want to get to know yourself, process your stuff and get space from all the ideas of who you are and what it’s all about, you have come to the right place.
Compassion is the most important part of recovery, in practices like yoga and psychotherapy, you learn about compassion, but Lorella takes compassion to a whole new level. This will be something you have in your mental health tool box forever. Letting go of the should and shouldn’t of how to recover.
Lorella teaches us that our feelings are the path to recovery, not the roadblocks on the way. The bonus is you get to take her with you long after the immersion, with her guided practices you will have a therapist in your pocket everywhere you go!
MW, Psych Nurse
Immersions with Lorella are an absolute treasure for highly sensitive people who are into self introspection and willing to befriend their shadows. A game changer that connects your somatic intelligence with mindfulness, Buddhism and a deep emotional literacy. It has given me a felt-sense experience of a benevolent universe, something that before was more of a belief.
In my interactions with others there is more trust and an increased ability to see when I, or others, are coming from a part.
And in my relationship with my own feelings, there is definitely more compassion, unconditional love, curiosity and a willingness to hang out with them until they are ready to offer their wisdom.
MJ, Somatic Coach, Individual & Relational
I have struggled with strong emotions for nearly my whole life, harbouring a silent belief that something in me must be so broken. As a therapist and meditator, with endless trainings under my belt, I began to lose hope.
In the depths of emotional overwhelm, which was often, I would hear a voice screaming “I can’t do this anymore.” It appeared suicidal, but it wasn’t. It was more a despair. A sense of being trapped, unable to find a way out.
When I met Lorella, I began to experience a relief that is beyond my capacity to express. I would touch it and lose it, and touch it and lose it. But slowly over time, with practice, I learnt to meet my experience beyond my stories and beyond the ways I was unknowingly recreating it.
My feelings are now a portal: something I trust and follow. They no longer scare me. They no longer overwhelm me. It’s not that they have disappeared, it’s just that they are now my doorway to God.
MR, Psychotherapist
