In this intimate circle you will be guided on an experiential journey of release and self discovery, utilising a blend of Breathwork, journaling and an invitation for sharing.
Most of us carry moments we wish we could rewrite - words spoken in anger, actions driven by pain, times we abandoned ourselves or others. Yet self-forgiveness can feel impossibly out of reach.
Even when we know we did our best at the time, the heart can hold on. The mind circles back again and again, replaying the story. We tell ourselves we should have known better, been stronger, kinder, wiser. We keep ourselves locked in a quiet courtroom of self-judgment, an endless loop of criticism turned inwards.
In this immersive Breathwork workshop, we’ll explore the gentle art of self-forgiveness - learning to meet ourselves with the compassion, curiosity, and care we so often offer others but struggle to offer ourselves.
This session invites you to reconnect with the body as a safe haven. Through guided breath, mindful enquiry and somatic awareness, we’ll soften the inner critic, tend to our tender parts, and open space for self-understanding and release.
Why? Because forgiveness isn’t an idea, it’s a felt experience. Our nervous systems, wired for protection, can keep us cycling between guilt, shame, and self-blame long after the moment has passed. When we gently turn our attention inwards, towards the parts of us holding our stories and regrets, we get to untangle and start to discard the ideas and narratives that no longer hold truth.
It’s not about excusing harm, or pretending that what happened didn’t matter. It's about explanation we feel in an embodied way, about reclaiming our capacity to love. Self-forgiveness is a somatic unfolding, a process that involves the whole body, the nervous system, and the tender parts of us that are still trying to protect us from pain.
Together we'll explore:
- A felt understanding of self-forgiveness as a process, not a destination
- Tools to work compassionately with inner conflict & criticism using IFS & somatic principles
- Practices to bring your nervous system into safety and presence
This Breathwork & somatic healing workshop offers a path through those inner divides, a shift from self-condemnation to self-compassion.

What is Breathwork?
Transformational Breathwork is an active meditation technique that uses the breath to clear the body and nervous system of emotional debris. It is a somatic healing practise with the capacity to move and transform stuck emotional energy.
- Helps to bypass our thinking brain and quiets the incessant mind chatter
- Allows us to drop into the body and the heart
- Makes space for intuitive messages, ephiphanies and revelations
- Connects us to our life force energy in a deeply embodied way
- Releases old patterns, old beliefs and old stories
- Shifts the inertia associated with depression
- Creates peace and calm to relieve anxiety
- Fosters a sense of groundedness and safety within the body
When we clear our stuck emotions – all the thwarted experiences of sadness, fear and anger – our brains become more coherent and our nervous systems soothed. We start to feel calmer and clearer, and more able to live with courage, compassion and confidence.
