Pat Divilly (Galway, Ireland) & Steph Magenta (Manchester, UK) are delighted to announce a brand-new collaboration diving into the world of breath work and shadow work.“What you’re aware of you’re in control of, what you’re not aware of is in control of you” ~ Anthony Demello
People are often afraid of 'shadow work'. It can feel confronting and scary to meet parts of ourselves that we may have consciously and subconsciously invested in keeping hidden, but what if it's possible to open to those parts a more gentle, playful and exploratory way? It is!
For this day event, we will be working with both the breath and a range of embodiment and connection practices, alongside a gentle approach to working with our 'shadow' aspects - typically the things we avoid, push away or hide from.
We often do this because these aspects represent the remnants of past unresolved stories that continue to play out in our lives. Avoiding them doesn't work! Both Steph & Pat understand the liberation that exists on the other side of these stories when we find the courage to open ourselves up a little...to soften the heart.
We will change the way we can relate to those parts of ourselves through our group connection and commitment during the event.
You can expect:
Fun & laughter
Plenty of breathwork
Perhaps a few tears
Connection and communication practices
Movement & shaking practices
Shamanic approaches to our work
An exploration of shadow values and shadow contracts
A grounded and well held space in which to explore our inner worlds
and more!
What you need to know:
We recommend that if signing up for this event, that you have a pre-existing background of personal growth work and a capacity to self resource as this work can be challenging. If you have not experienced much connected breathwork before coming, please visit Pat & Steph's websites (linked below) and sign up for their weekly free sessions before joining us to gift yourself the opportunity to gather some experience. This is no spiritual bypassing event and requires your active commitment to vulnerability!
What you need to bring:
Your lunch! A journal and pen, water bottle, warm loose comfortable clothing you can layer up or down in, socks or slippers, an eye mask if you have one, a small item for our altar if you wish to add something, a yoga mat and blanket if you like to use your own.
