Join us for a transformative Breathwork Group session where you'll have the opportunity to explore the profound benefits of conscious connected breathing. Rebirthing breathwork is a practice that guides us to uncover the buried emotions and unhealed pain that often influence our actions and decisions.

By embracing these feelings with compassion and authenticity, we open ourselves to a powerful process of letting go. This allows us to heal deeply and return to our genuine selves. As we release old patterns and emotional blocks, we create a sacred space within to feel more connected, present and whole. This guided session will provide a safe and supportive environment.

Whether you're feeling stuck, anxious, or just curious, this practice invites you to let go, breathe deeply, and find a sense of inner peace.

Come as you are. No experience needed—just an open heart and a willingness to breathe.

In this session, I will guide a loving kindness practice where we will start with awareness and grounding ourselves, before moving on to offering the traditional loving kindness phrases "May I be safe, May I be healthy, May I be happy, May I live with joy and ease" to ourselves, a loved one, a neutral person (someone we see and don't really know) and a difficult person (someone we find challenging). There are many benefits to practising loving kindness such as improved health and wellbeing and the nurturing of peace within ourselves and in our world.

For further information on these benefits, here is a link to an article that highlights the benefits of LKM and the scientific research to support these benefits.
