A Space to Soften: Women’s Breathwork + Mindful Movement

Sometimes the way we speak to ourselves becomes so familiar that we barely notice it.

The pressure to keep going. The expectations. The self criticism. The feeling that we should be handling things better, doing more, or somehow be different than we are.

A Space to Soften is a three-hour women’s experience in beautiful Chelsea, Quebec, surrounded by the colours of fall, with mindful movement, heart-coherence meditation, conscious connected breathwork, journaling, tea, and optional sharing.

It is an afternoon for women who would like a break from some of that pressure and a chance to slow things down and practice meeting themselves with a little more kindness.

No previous experience is needed. Space is intentionally limited to 12 women.

What the afternoon will look like:

We will begin with mindful movement and grounding, giving you time to settle into the space before moving into a guided heart-coherence meditation.

From there, we will move into a conscious connected breathwork journey accompanied by carefully chosen music.

Breathwork can feel different for everyone. You may notice emotion, energy, physical sensations, insight, stillness, or simply become more aware of what is happening in your body.

There is no particular experience you need to have and nothing you need to accomplish through the breath.

You will always be encouraged to go at your own pace. You can change your breathing, return to your natural breath, pause, or rest whenever you need to.

After the breathwork, there will be quiet time to rest, journal, and notice what is present before we slowly come together for optional sharing, tea, snacks, and connection.

The intention is not to fix or change anything about yourself.

It is simply an opportunity to experience what it feels like to move through an afternoon with a little less pressure and a little more kindness.

You do not need previous experience with breathwork, meditation, or mindful movement.
