Are you holding onto tension, emotions, or patterns that no longer serve you? Do you long for deeper connection, more aliveness, and a sense of playful freedom in your body?
This full-day de-armouring event offers the perfect opportunity to shed layers of tension, conditioning, and emotional blockages stored in your body.
With this event House of Play invites you on a journey that could allow you to find more enjoyment and connection at our other events and classes. And that may awaken your energy and reconnect you with your vitality and pleasure in life.
WHAT IS DE-ARMOURING?
De-armouring is a powerful somatic practice that works to release physical and emotional armour - unconscious layers of tension and protection formed in response to life’s experiences, stress, or trauma. These blockages can limit your ability to fully feel, express, and connect with yourself and others.
Working from a Wheel of Consent base, we will guide you through various practices such as pressure points, conscious presence, movement, breath, and sound to support the body in softening, letting go, and reclaiming its natural flow of energy.
You can read more about the practice here in this de-armouring guide: https://www.slow-bodywork.com/en/post/de-armouring-a-guide
WHAT CAN DE-ARMOURING DO?
- Release trapped emotions and energy stored in the body
- Improve body awareness and sensitivity, making pleasure and sensation more accessible
- Restore the natural flow of energy, bringing more aliveness and vibrancy
- Help process and integrate past experiences without the need for words
- Open pathways to deeper connection with yourself and others
- Support relaxation, expansion, and playfulness in a safe, conscious space
WHAT TO EXPECT IN THIS EVENT
We will move through guided practices, hands-on bodywork, and group explorations designed to meet you exactly where you are. This is deep, conscious work - not about force, but about working with honesty, presence, and what is alive in the room.
Everybody holds a unique story, and we honor that by allowing the process to unfold naturally, layer by layer.
This is a space for you to:
- Let go of physical and emotional burdens
- Reignite your sense of pleasure and vitality
- Feel more open, connected, and at home in your body
Whether you are new to somatic work or already on a deep healing journey, this experience is an invitation to step into more freedom and authenticity.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
This workshop is perfect for anyone who is ready to work in-depth with themselves, deepen their connection to their body, and cultivate a life rich with sensuality, playfulness and joy.
Bodywork requires contact with the skin, so there may be partial or full nudity, although we will not be working on the genitals during this event.
CAN I JOIN AS A BEGINNER?
Yes! While we will go deep in a short amount of time, it's essential to remember that this work is about presence and holding space - both for yourself and others. You’ll be invited to face your emotions with love and curiosity, not judgment.
The process is about exploring what may be holding you back, without trying to change or fix anything immediately. It’s important to let things unfold naturally and honor the pace of your body and emotions.
You are encouraged to be mindful of holding space for others as well, which means being present with their process without taking it personally, and not projecting your own experiences onto them. It's all about allowing emotions to move through us without attachment or expectation.
If you're unsure about how to navigate this, reach out - we’re here to support you in feeling confident in your journey.
CAN I COME ALONE?
Yes, you can come alone, but be aware that we will be working in pairs. If you join on your own, you will be paired with someone else for the practices.
WHAT TO WEAR AND BRING?
- Loose-fitting clothes that you can move freely in
- A water bottle with a closed lid
- Your own sarong or towel
- If you want to journal, feel free to bring pen and paper
- A light lunch if you prefer not to purchase something locally. We have a fridge and a microwave.
