Shaura Hall
A warm welcome. I am Shaura Hall – a Multi Modal therapist with qualifications in Neurosomatic Psychotherapy, Brainspotting, Yoga Therapy, Supervision and Interfaith Ministry. I founded the Pilamaya Centre, which the hub of my professional trainings courses. I work with people who are seeking steadier grounding in themselves: through periods of distress, transitions, awakening or reorientation. My approach is rooted in Integration Psychotherapy: a way of working that brings together talking therapy, somatic practice, and transpersonal enquiry, held within a science- informed understanding of the nervous system and human development.
“In all of the things that I do and offer, the vision is very simple ~
help people connect to life and realise the intention of their soul.” ~ Shaura Hall

Beneath the Platinum Sands: A Journey of Heat, Silence, and Transformation
Each summer, on a threshold to the Sahara Desert, there is a tradition that draws people into the earth itself — a ritual known as the sand bath. I travelled to Siwa Oasis, a small town in Egypt near the Libyan border, to experience this ancient practice and to meet the sand, the sun, and the desert in a new way.
Standing in the Gap: Bridging Cultures and Conflict on the Path to Self-Discovery
From the humility of learning about ancient traditions to understanding the impact of colonisation, I share my personal insights on how we navigate our identities and roles in a world shaped by centuries of trauma. Standing at the crossroads of these cultures, I explore the importance of taking a stand while remaining open to healing and transformation, both within ourselves and the world around us.
The Sundance Ceremony and Power of Connection
Seven is also a very important number in my life. It relates to the Seven Sacred Values that the White Buffalo Calf Pipe Woman gave to the Lakota people at a time of great famine. I want to speak a little bit about these values and what they mean to me currently, given that their meaning is always evolving.
PODCAST
The Pilamaya Podcast is a series of conversations from The Pilamaya Centre (UK) exploring the new model of Integration Psychotherapy and the lived work of healing. Hosted by Pilamaya founder and integration psychotherapist Shaura Hall and writer–psychotherapist Susan Clark, this podcast is for anyone drawn to Integration Psychotherapy and consciousness work — whether you’re considering training, seeking therapy, or simply curious about the journey back to yourself. You’ll love this behind scenes exploration of good therapy and why it works to change lives and bring us back to ourselves.
In this latest episode of the podcast, we revisit the origin story of Pilamaya and the themes of our first four episodes to offer a Summer Compilation and a pause for Integration. This is, after all, a podcast that is all about Integration Psychotherapy (IP) — the unique training course offered by the UK’s Pilamaya Centre. And so, a pause is an important part of the integration process.
The Call
We start by reminding ourselves of what we refer to as ‘The Call’ and after sounding the conch which is our signature opener and introducing your co-hosts, Shaura and Susan, Shaura goes on to explain how people find their way to Pilamaya and its training offerings and how her role is to respond to that same call by offering the best of her own specialist trainings to students on both the IP and the Transpersonal Yoga trainings, as well as the new CPD short courses.
The IP Training
The hosts revisit the IP training and discuss what makes it unique but also how it stands on the shoulders of giants of the psychotherapy world — including Jung and Erickson and Bowlby and Klein among so many others.
Timing & Presence
In episode 3, the duo talked about timings, reflecting on how someone might know that either the time has come to embark on therapy themselves, or the time has come to step into the IP training space themselves. They also share some insights into how they stay fully present for their clients in the therapeutic 50 minutes of a session.
The Nine Dimensions
The IP training offers a multi-dimensional framework which means IP therapists can draw on body and breathwork, as well as talk, to create a safe space for an exploration of the issues that may be preventing a client from living the life they had imagined for themselves. This means the word integration works in two ways — it allows the therapist to take an integrated approach to the work which itself is about supporting the client to integrate those parts of Self that may have been abandoned, lost, buried or given away.
Belonging
We conclude our summer compilation episode by revisiting the potent topic of Belonging and with an exploration of both the wound of not belonging and the anxiety that being welcomed to a new space can trigger. Pilamaya’s Community Liaison & Support staff member, Emily Wallace joins Shaura and Susan as the podcast’s first-ever guest and shares a thoughtful piece of writing about her experience of Belonging – to land, to place, to community and ultimately, to Self.
This episode then is an invitation to pause and savour the offerings we have now put into the podcast space for working therapists, clients and those considering our trainings.
We hope you enjoy this reminder of what we’ve been talking and thinking about and as ever, we are open to your suggestions for special themes so please feel free to contact Shaura or Susan with topics you’d like to hear them discuss.
We will be back with a brand-new episode exploring The Seven Sacred Values after the summer break. In the meantime, have a good summer, take care of you and yours and stay in touch with us by subscribing (free) to our various monthly newsletters.
