TurnStones is group reflection space built around a series of conversations which are co-created by the group and skilfully supported by Marcos & Jeremy.
​
The conversations have the capacity to interact with each other in ways that are unique to each person involved and the interactions can lead to the turning over current ideas and finding new perspectives from what you reveal. Just like the action of the beautiful little waders called TurnStones which gives them their name, you will turn over stones to reveal something new. For the birds they find hidden foods; for you it will be hidden ideas and feelings. Both nourishing in different ways.
Imagine This...
​
You come to TurnStones with something of interest to you. It will be composed of thoughts, emotions and bodily experience (see graphic). In the session, using a range of different approaches, Jeremy and Marco will facilitate a number of different conversations, prompted by language or imagery. The conversations have the capacity to interact with each other, and with the issue with which you came to the session. The nature of that interaction will be unique to you, arising from turning ‘stones’ at the level of your thinking and feeling. It is not a linear process, more associative - the making of connections. The nature of the connections will be influenced by experiencing TurnStones with others (their influence represented by the wavy lines) and they may form in real time or at some point in the future. TurnStones is a process with emergent outcomes, rather than outcomes where there is a strong relationship between cause and effect.

TurnStones (for Individuals)
These are 90 minute virtual sessions with between 4 and 10 players. There are several dates and a couple of different times of day throughout 2025, and players will be able to book onto any number, subject to availability. There is a single price point of £75 per session (see section on accessibility below). The group of players may well be different on each session. There is a fluidity in this format which players experience as a sense of freedom to explore.
Accessibility: 'First-time TurnStoners' come along free. You will need to contact us (Jeremy: 07780 960777 or Marco: 07881 425084) with which date you are interested in attending for the first time. They will share a code with you which you can use when booking. The same applies to 'TurnStone Frequent Flyers' who will get one free sessions for every batch of four paid for sessions. Once again you will need to contact us to get a code for use when booking your free space. We may also allocate free spaces on a case by case basis if in doing so we support offering a valuable to resource to those who would otherwise not be able to access it.
TurnStones (for organisations and groups)
We are delighted in offering TurnStones to organisations and groups and do this in a number of ways. We provide a TurnStones experience which is part taught and part experiential as a exploratory experience. Our most recent venture in this territory was to deliver a F2F session to the Hampshire Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (HACP) who have invited us back for a longer CPD session in 2026. More in-depth, episodic TurnStones are also possible with any group who are interested in using it to support their work and/ or personal and professional development.
A final approach is to earmark some of our regular deliver sessions for particular communities, something we are doing for the Human System Dynamics community in 2025.
You can find out more in the attached document or by emailing either Marcos (marcos@kolimbri.com) or Jeremy (jeremy@alpamayocoaching.com).​​​
Why TurnStones?
TurnStones is the art of turning our thinking and feeling upside down in the company of others, and being interested about what gets revealed. It’s about seeing what emerges when you have conversations interacting with each other in ways that surprise and engage. You will find TurnStones interesting if you are actively thinking and feeling in relation to one, or a combination, of the contexts described below…
-
You have something that is troubling you. Something preventing you from moving forward as you want to.
-
You have something going well for you and you want to build on it but are not sure how…
-
You have a relationship that is not firing like you want it to be. You want to build bridges but are not sure how?
-
You have an experience that you are in the middle of processing and are looking for greater clarity…
-
You feel your creativity needs a boost. You can feel it within, but there is something locking it inside and you want to release it, to share it with the world...
-
You are at a crossroads on a journey you are on. The signs are clear, the decision is not.....
​
There are many more scenarios where TurnStones might support you. What's yours?
