HELD at Longfield Hall

A space for women to pause, soften and be nourished through the simple but powerful act of being held.
About this Event

HELD exists to create spaces where women can pause, soften, and experience the reciprocal nourishment of holding and being held.

In a world where women are often giving endlessly — to families, partners, and communities — HELD offers the rare opportunity to rest without agenda, reconnect with the body, and restore balance through safe, supportive touch and attentive, loving presence.

Through guided, chakra-inspired holds, gentle relaxation practices, and shared circle time, participants are invited into experiences of both offering and receiving care. Together, we cultivate spaces of trust, consent, reciprocity, and belonging.

We believe that when women are held, they return to their lives more rested, more connected, and more whole.
