This 5-day training is held and curated by Sybille Biedert, alongside her team of spaceholders.
Sybille is dedicated to her space holding and creation of ‘Embodied Freedom Movement Practice’. Being a bold and dynamic community weaver, she has been delivering workshops and retreats for many years. Embodied Freedom focuses on clarity towards once purpose, establishing healthy boundaries, embodiment and empowerment of each participant. 

She has a wholehearted commitment to hold space for personal, collective and multi-generational transformation. She is a dedicated edge-worker and movement lover, With her ‘Open Floor Movement Teacher’ accreditation and her extensive training in ‘Possibility Management’, she uniquely weaves these modalities together creating profoundly transformational and bold spaces that offers people practical life tools that are easy to implement in daily life.

Sybille is a bold and deeply rooted community weaver, devoted to creating spaces where people can come into honest relationship with themselves, each other, and the living world, by being allowed to fully feel. Now 51 and a mother of four grown sons, her work is grounded in over 23 years of living in an intentional community called Tui in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Much of what is now known as Embodied Freedom was born from this lived experience. Growing within the relational field of community life, her work also carries a deep respect for land, belonging, and the subtle dynamics of human connection. These years have shaped her ability to create clear, grounded spaces where people feel held enough to be real, and encouraged enough to feel, move and heal.

Sybille is the creator of the Embodied Freedom Movement Practice, a body of work that brings together decades of exploration, training, and lived inquiry. Her path includes years of Vipassana meditation, extensive training and accreditation as an Open Floor Movement Teacher, a long journey with 5Rhythms, and over nine years of deep shadow work and emotional healing with her training in Possibility Management, offering a trauma-aware and possibility-oriented approach to transformation.

Out of this rich foundation, Sybille has woven a unique and courageous body of work. Rather than following one lineage, she has created a new one. She integrates these practices and modalities into a grounded, embodied approach that empowers people to develop emotional literacy, establish healthy boundaries, clarify their purpose, and become aware of outdated patterns. Her spaces invite participants to step beyond comfort zones and into direct experience, reconnecting with parts of themselves that have been long forgotten.

Over many years, she has initiated and led workshops, retreats, and rites of passage journeys, including Tides a Rites of passage program that has been going for 23 years. She is known for her ability to bring visions into form, and equally for her willingness to let them go once they are strong enough to stand on their own.

Sybille holds a particular dedication to young women from the age of 18, inspiring them to step into their lives with clarity, self-trust, and embodied leadership. Many of those she has walked alongside have grown into facilitators themselves and are now part of the Embodied Freedom team.

Her work is both relational and transformative, grounded and bold. With a refined sensitivity to group dynamics, she creates spaces where individual, collective, and multigenerational healing can unfold. What she offers is not only a practice, but a lived pathway, one that continues to evolve as she now shares training and immersions with communities internationally.
