Releasing what’s stuck, expressing your truth, reconnecting with your inner peace.
About this Event

There is a voice within you that has been silenced, hidden, or forgotten.
It carries your truth, emotions, pain, and longing to be fully expressed.

In this 3-hour journey, we invite you to reconnect with that voice through breath, movement, and sound, a space where the body becomes the instrument and the breath becomes the bridge to your essence.

This is not a performance. It’s a return home.
Through conscious connected breathing and somatic movement, you’ll be guided to release emotional tension, open your heart, and allow your true voice to flow.

Expect a safe, nurturing, and powerful container, one where your nervous system can relax, your emotions can move, and your inner truth can rise.



✨ Is this you?
  • Feeling disconnected from yourself, your intuition, or your body?
  • Carrying tension you just can’t seem to let go of?
  • Stuck in your head and finding it hard to relax?
  • Lacking emotional clarity, balance, or vitality?


👉 If so, this workshop is for you.



🌸 What you will take home
  • Greater calm and emotional balance.
  • Deeper connection to your body and inner clarity.
  • Release of stress, tension, and stored emotions.
  • Renewed energy, groundedness, and self-awareness.



💫 Why Join
  • To release unspoken emotions and reconnect with your authentic voice.
  • To calm your nervous system and restore inner harmony.
  • To explore how your breath, sound, and movement can become tools for healing and self-expression.
  • To experience deep connection with yourself and others in a safe space.

🌱 What is Somatic Work?

A body-based approach to nervous system regulation that recognises the deep mind–body connection. Through shaking, tapping, and embodied presence, somatic work helps:

  • Release stored tension and trauma symptoms.
  • Increase awareness of sensations and emotions.
  • Improve resilience and self-regulation.
  • Foster safety, presence, and embodiment.



🌬️ What is Conscious Connected Breathing?

A breathing method where inhalation and exhalation flow continuously without pauses. It helps:

  • Oxygenate the body and calm the mind.
  • Surface and release unconscious patterns and emotions.
  • Create deep relaxation, clarity, and inner wisdom.
  • Boost vitality and energy flow.



🔑 Why combining the two is so powerful

Somatic work prepares the body and nervous system, gently creating safety and release.

Breathwork deepens and amplifies the process, accessing emotional, physical, and energetic layers.

Together, they create a holistic journey that leaves you grounded, clear, and connected to yourself.
