About this Event
Give yourself a Sunday that is devoted entirely to you.
As the season changes and nature begins to slow down, fall invites us to pause, turn inward, and make space for what matters.
Reset & Rise is a 3-hour women’s somatic breathwork experience in Chicago, created as an intentional Self-Care Sunday. It is more than a breathwork session. It is time set aside to step away from the noise and constant doing, reconnect with yourself, and spend a Sunday afternoon in meaningful connection with other women.
Through grounding, guided somatic breathwork, reflection, journaling, intention setting, and simple rituals, you’ll be invited to come back into your body, listen inward, and gently release what no longer needs to be carried.
From there, we’ll turn our attention toward what you’re ready to welcome, nurture, and move toward in this next season of your life.
What to Expect
📌Opening Circle + Connection
Arrive, settle in, sip herbal tea, and meet the women sharing this experience with you. We’ll begin with grounding and an opening circle to create a supportive space for the afternoon.
📌Introduction to Somatic Breathwork
A brief introduction to somatic breathwork, including what to expect and how to approach the practice in a way that feels supportive and personal to you.
📌Guided Somatic Breathwork Journey
A trauma-informed, guided breathwork practice designed to support nervous system regulation, embodied awareness, and the gentle release of accumulated stress and tension. You’ll be invited to connect with your breath, body, sensations, and inner awareness, always at your own pace.
📌Integration + Journaling
After the breathwork journey, we’ll create space to slow down and let the experience settle. You’ll have time for personal reflection and guided journaling using the workbook provided.
📌Intention Setting + Water Ritual
Through intentional reflection and a simple water ritual, you’ll have an opportunity to name what you’re ready to welcome and make more space for in your life.
📌Closing Circle
We’ll come back together to close the experience. Sharing is always optional.
Why Breathwork?
Somatic breathwork can support the release of accumulated stress and tension while helping you reconnect with your body and regulate your nervous system. From a more grounded state, you may experience greater clarity, emotional awareness, presence, and a deeper sense of self-connection.
This experience is an invitation to pause long enough to listen to yourself.
You do not need to arrive with a specific intention or an expectation of what should happen. Simply come as you are.
