About this Event
With Brenna Duncan, founder of Arise Breathwork - workshops at Glastonbury Festival, Lost Village festival, Monzo, 20/20 Levels & more - www.arisebreathwork.com.
🌳💚Coming together over Spring Equinox weekend, this is the perfect time to breathe deeply, set intentions and plant seeds for the year ahead… with time in nature and a Sunday stroll to help integrate your breathwork experience.
We’ll begin indoors in cosy Seven Sisters Sanctuary with a guided conscious connected breathwork journey, before wrapping up warm and heading out together for a gentle, guided Sunday stroll along the River Lea, Walthamstow Marshes and wetlands to support your integration.
Our time together outdoors is an extension of the breathwork, offering space for whatever has shifted to land in your body, your nervous system, and your heart.
Breathwork can open us deeply, shifting energy, emotions, and awareness, and walking outside afterwards helps these experiences settle. The breathwork journey will incorporate movement, sound, acupressure and bodywork to help you get drop into your body more deeply and quieten the mind. Being in nature straight afterwards will support grounding and regulation.
“This was my first proper face-to-face breathwork session & I have to say I had such a wonderful & profound experience. Brenna was very welcoming, warm & I felt at ease & safe. The release I experienced was amazing & I felt so much peace in the days that followed. Something really shifted!”
After hiking the Annapurna Circuit in 2018, and more recently 120km of the Camino Portuguese, I was reminded of just how powerful walking can be. Whether solo or shared, it helps us feel fully present, reflective, and connected.
Research echoes this… in the book ‘52 Ways to Walk’ by Annabel Streets, walking is described not just as movement, but as a deeply human and social practice.
Anthropologists Tim Ingold and Jo Lee Vergunst describe walking as a “profoundly social activity”. Walking together can create a sense of safety and belonging, encourage connection, and strengthen relationships.
This Spring Equinox gathering offers a balance of inner exploration and embodied connection, with space for quiet reflection, gentle conversation, and simply being together in nature. I can’t wait to share this with you!

“Everyone needs to attend one of these sessions! The most beautiful, powerful & opening spiritual experience. Brenna created such a gentle & caring environment, holding space for everyone. Thank you endlessly.”
WHY BREATHWORK AND WALKING TOGETHER?
Breathwork works directly with the nervous system, helping to release any tension held in the body, bring clarity, and create space for change.
Walking in nature afterwards offers a beautiful way to integrate. Gentle movement supports regulation, helps insights settle, and invites the inner journey to meet the outer world. Walking together also supports connection and belonging, something our nervous systems deeply crave.
This combo creates a soft but powerful way to reflect, ground, and connect as a group, and I am so excited to share this with you!
💫 CLIENT LOVE:
✨“I feel I've shifted some really deep-rooted stuff :) I've noticed a big change in my anxiety levels & even with several things happening that would normally trigger me, I've stayed balanced. Thanks for creating such a safe, healing & transformative experience!”
✨ “You created such a warm, welcoming and supportive atmosphere. I really loved it. And the chocolate at the end was amazing! I’m feeling contemplative & grounded, but mainly joyful and grateful to have found you!”
✨"Brenna has a real gift for facilitating breathwork. I've found all of her sessions, whether in person 1-2-1, group or online to be incredibly transformative. Breathwork has helped me breakthrough some real barriers in my life, given me inspiration & calmed me down in times of stress. I've tried various types of breathwork with various people, & Brenna is by far & away my favourite person to take me deeper!"
ABOUT THE WALK AND ACCESSIBILITY
The walk will follow flat paths along the river and through local marshes, woodland and wetlands. The terrain is likely to be muddy at this time of year, so sturdy boots or waterproof footwear are important.
✨ The pace will be gentle and unhurried
✨ We’ll take pauses as needed and move together as a group
✨ There’s a stop for coffee/ tea along the way
✨ You’re always invited to listen to your body and do what feels right for you
Because of the natural terrain, this part of the gathering may not be suitable for wheelchair users or those needing fully paved or step free paths.
If you’re unsure whether this feels accessible for you, or you’d like to talk it through before booking, please feel free to email me on [email protected]. I’m very happy to chat.
