Chris Kenworthy

EMBODIMENT COACH & FACILITATOR IN LEEDS, YORKSHIRE (UK) & EUROPE

I lead warm and playful group experiences with genuine human connection. Events to explore what it’s like being curious, creative and fully you - together.

My one-to-one coaching breaks cycles of joyless effort and overwhelm - relaxing your grip so life’s steadier, lighter and more satisfying.

Facilitation & workshops 

To bring your retreat, event or festival to life

Warm & meaningful

I create gently transformative experiences for wellbeing retreats, leadership gatherings, coaching events and festivals across Europe.

Accessible & embodied

My workshops offer games and exercises that help people soften, open and feel more at home in themselves - and with each other.

Real human connection 

In ready-to-go sessions like:

  • Think Less, Play More
  • Follow Your Bliss
  • The Art of Creative Aliveness

Relational & playful

People feel less self-conscious, and reconciled with being imperfectly human - they take things less seriously and enjoy deeper connection with the group.

Help groups feel at ease with each other, quickly

My sessions melt awkwardness and create a relaxed atmosphere where people feel welcome, open and safe.


This gives your event a strong emotional foundation from the start.

Bring gentle playfulness to balance depth

Wellbeing and inner-work can get intense. 


My workshops offer lightness and joy in a way that doesn’t detract, but rather deepens and integrates the experience.

Gain support holding the emotional landscape

By helping people relax, connect and regulate themselves together, I ease the pressure on you to do that.


Your group becomes more resilient, grounded and attuned to each other.

Create experiences people remember and talk about

Playful connection, shared humanity and creative presence stay with people long after the retreat ends.


These sessions often become the unexpected highlight people write about in positive reviews and feedback.

Overall, your event feels more cohesive, human and alive

My work weaves warmth, empathy and curiosity into authentic relationships. It helps your programme to land meaningfully - so people leave feeling transformed as well as replenished.

Authentic Relating in Leeds

Discover what it’s like to welcome your whole-self right now, as you are, and how you relate to others. Come for honest human connection that goes deeper than everyday chit-chat.

This workshop explores everything they didn’t teach you at school about how to:

  • Find genuine human connection
  • Attune to yourself and others
  • Relate with curiosity and empathy
  • Build healthy, honest relationships
  • Honour difference and common humanity

Workshops are at We Are Wellness in Leeds (search for my name as teacher).

Feel calmer in the moment

Connect deeply & quickly

Meet yourself & like-hearted others

Your whole self - as you already are. Feel welcome with nothing to change, nothing to fix. Be with others doing the same.

What is Authentic Relating?

Listen to this episode of my podcast which describes what you can expect at my event.

One-to-one personal coaching

I coach women (and sometimes men) who push themselves hard to get on, just about hold it together… then collapse in exhaustion or emotional overwhelm.

My coaching interrupts that cycle. 


We soften all the constant effort, and reconnect with the gentler you. For more energy, better choices and clearer direction.

No fixing required. Just space and support to come home to yourself, while acting from a place that actually feels safe and right.
