In our busy and demanding lives, many of us carry stress, emotions, and experiences that our bodies never fully had the opportunity to process.
Over time, this can show up as tension in the body, emotional overwhelm, anxiety, fatigue, or a sense of disconnection from ourselves.

Release & Reconnect is a gentle and supportive somatic healing workshop designed to help you reconnect with your body, release stored tension, and rediscover a deeper sense of inner balance.

This immersive weekend workshop invites you to slow down, listen inward, and explore how the body holds emotional experiences. Through guided somatic practices, breathwork, and creative expression, you will be supported to gently release what the body may have been carrying and reconnect with your inner sense of calm and clarity.

Saturday 2nd May & Sunday 3rd May
10:00am - 4:00pm each day

Over the weekend, you will experience:

• Guided meditation and mindfulness
• Nervous system awareness
• Somatic shaking and body-based movement
• Breathwork for emotional release
• Expressive art and journaling
• Self-healing practices
• Reflection and integration

This workshop is not about forcing emotional release or “fixing” yourself. Instead, it offers a compassionate and supportive space where your body can safely express and release what it is ready to.

No previous experience is necessary. All practices are optional, and participants are always encouraged to move at their own pace.

Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, curious about somatic healing, or simply seeking time to reconnect with yourself, you are warmly invited to come exactly as you are.

Give yourself the gift of slowing down, listening to your body, and reconnecting with the wisdom within.

Your body holds the story of your life.
This is an opportunity to listen, release, and reconnect.
