About this Event
😍Oxytocin Breathwork · 3 community sessions, in Neukölln😍 in English
Join us on Nov 9, 10 & 11 for one, two or all three immersive sessions at the cozy Flow Motion Neukölln, as Berlin takes part in the Global Oxytocin Breath: a worldwide breathwork event happening around the same time in cities across the world.🌈
This is not a traditional meditation. It’s an experiential journey inside your own body, combining intentional movement and somatic breathing to take you beyond routine thinking. By breathing differently than we usually do, we open a door into pleasure, love, awareness and raw aliveness.🔥
Open to all genders, beliefs and backgrounds. No experience needed. Just show up as you are.
The science, in short
Neuroepigenetic Breathing® uses the breath as a doorway into the nervous system, aiming to create states of greater safety, regulation and connection. Its creator, Sajeeva Hurtado, describes the practice as supporting the natural production of serotonin and oxytocin, helping regulate heart and brain rhythms, and supporting new responses to patterns linked to stress, anxiety and disconnection. Early research points in this direction: in a small pilot study, heart rate decreased after the practice, a sign of parasympathetic activation, and oxytocin rose notably in some participants. These are preliminary findings. This is a wellbeing practice, not a medical or psychotherapeutic treatment.
