The Pillars

The Pillars: The Dance of Opposites

An immersive exploration into the sacred polarity of the nervous system, where the sympathetic (masculine) and parasympathetic (feminine) states come together in conscious co-creation.

This dance of opposites lives within the body - where structure meets flow, activation meets surrender, and masculine presence holds feminine expression. Guided by four facilitators - two women and two men - we journey through movement, energy, and embodied transmission to access the spine as a living conduit between these polar forces.

The Dance of Opposites invites you into deep resonance with your inner rhythm - a space where contrast becomes harmony, and polarity becomes power.

Guided by four practitioners, Carly, Jesse, Lewis and Jess, the balance of masculine and feminine to lead you through the journey your soul desires

WHAT TO EXPECT

• We begin with a short introduction to both breathwork and Spinal Energetics, along with a Spina Energetics demonstration
• Breathwork, A rhythmic breathing technique that quiets the thinking mind and unlocks the body’s stored emotional and energetic layers. Your breath becomes a gateway—to the subconscious, the nervous system, unresolved pain, and hidden potential. As you breathe, you’ll naturally move out of your head and into your body, allowing space for balance, insight, and renewal.
• Once the system is activated and open, we transition into Spinal Energetics—a gentle yet deeply transformative approach that engages the spine and energetic field. This modality works in harmony with the body’s innate intelligence, encouraging the release of stored tension and unresolved trauma. Through subtle movements, intentional breath, and energetic flow, the body begins to naturally reorganise, letting go of what no longer serves and welcoming a greater sense of vitality.
• You may experience physical release, emotional shifts, expanded energy, and a profound sense of grounding and inner homecoming. No prior experience is needed—only a willingness to turn inward.
