Thursday 1 October · 7pm
Heart Awakening: Letting Go & Welcoming In
This opening session explores what we're ready to let go of and what we'd like to welcome into our lives.
This might include old patterns, limiting beliefs, fears, worries or expectations that no longer serve us, while creating space for qualities such as self-compassion, courage, trust, peace, connection and authenticity.
We'll begin with guided reflection and meditation before moving into Conscious Connected Breathwork. There will also be time afterwards to gently ground, reflect and integrate your experience.
Thursday 15 October · 7pm
Journey to the Inner Child
A gentle exploration of the younger parts of ourselves and the experiences, feelings and needs that may still influence us today.
Through guided reflection, meditation and Conscious Connected Breathwork, we'll create space to connect with these parts of ourselves with curiosity and compassion.
Thursday 29 October · 7pm
Grief, Loss & Unmet Needs
Grief isn't only about bereavement. We can experience grief around relationships, opportunities, identities, hopes and the things we needed but didn't receive.
This session offers space to gently explore grief, loss and unmet needs through reflection, meditation and Conscious Connected Breathwork.
Thursday 12 November · 7pm
Inner Wisdom, Clarity & Integration
A chance to slow down, turn inward and listen to your own inner wisdom.
We'll explore clarity, insight and integration, creating space to reflect on whatever you may have discovered or experienced — whether you've attended the previous sessions or are joining for the first time.
A space to reconnect with your body, emotions, breath, and deeper inner awareness.
A 4-session breathwork journey, held every two weeks, for deeper emotional exploration and self-connection.
This is a series of four individual Conscious Connected Breathwork sessions, each with a different theme.
You can attend one, some, or all four sessions — each session is booked and paid for separately, with no commitment to attend the whole series.
These sessions focus on Conscious Connected Breathwork — a rhythmic breathing practice where the inhale and exhale flow continuously, without pauses between them.
Alongside the breathwork, we'll use guided reflection, journalling and time for grounding and integration.
The practice can create space to slow down, turn inward and become more aware of what's happening in your body, emotions and inner world.
You may experience:
-
a deeper sense of relaxation and connection
-
emotions, sensations or memories coming into awareness
-
emotional release and processing
-
greater insight, clarity or self-awareness
-
a sense of letting go or creating space for something new
-
Each session has a different theme, from letting go and welcoming in, exploring the inner child, grief and unmet needs, to inner wisdom and integration.
Some experiences may feel gentle and grounding, while others can be more emotionally engaging or activating.
You won't be asked to force anything or achieve a particular outcome. You'll be encouraged to work at your own pace, within your own limits, with space to slow down or return to a gentler breath whenever you need to.
