There are moments in life when something shifts — not with noise or spectacle,
but with the unmistakable weight of truth landing.
Arkesie is that moment.
A quiet arrival. A long-held promise. A home, finally built.

This isn’t a project. It’s a pulse. A response to the silent epidemic of childhood trauma — not just the dramatic kind, but the slow-burn neglect, the emotional starvation,
the chronic not-being-met that leaves so many high-functioning adults secretly hollowed out.

Arkesie is here for them.
For us. The ones who adapted brilliantly and paid for it with our authenticity.

So what is Arkesie?

It’s a sanctuary. A signpost. A whisper through the noise saying: You were never broken. Just brilliantly adapted. And now it’s time to come home.

We’re building something vast, but human-sized:

– A place of free support for trauma survivors and struggling parents
– A growing archive of resources, tools, and trainings
– A worldwide peer-led community modelled on nourishment, not performance
– A physical centre in Cyprus for rest, repair, and reconnection
– A network of mentors trained through our Restart Programme,
rooted in the principles laid out in the ground breaking book  Broken Childhood,
the book that started it all

This blog will be a living companion to that mission — a space for insight, reflection, story, and soul. If you want to understand the heartbeat behind this, you can start by visiting me over at

Arkesie is what grew.

Welcome.
