You are most welcome to join us for this day-long special gathering for the Autumn Equinox with Live Music from Eliza Hope Kenyon
Combining Movement Medicine, Embodied Breathwork, and Live Music for a journey with the healing and transformational potential of breath, body, and awareness connected.
We begin with a Movement Medicine embodiment practice guided with gentle facilitation and a finely crafted Ecstatic Dance journey, to fully arrive in the body and get the energy moving. We then move into the Embodied Breathwork Ceremony with conscious connected breathing and live music from Eliza Hope Kenyon. She skillfully creates musical soundscapes in the moment to support the process as it unfolds.
This is an opportunity to breathe and move in community, to release blocks and anything that’s holding you back, and then be open to inspiration and guidance, creating more freedom in your breath, body, and life.

Movement Medicine is a potent transformational and healing modality, which supports you to fully arrive in the body and get the energy moving ready for the breathwork. You are free to move in the space and let yourself move however your body wants to. The practice is fundamentally about listening to the body and the dance journey is created in the moment to be responsive to what’s arising in the space with facilitation to empower your connection to your breath, body, and awareness.
The Embodied Breathwork Ceremony is held lying down and you are supported verbally, physically, and energetically, as well as with music. You are guided through the process and encouraged to move, shake, sound, and allow anything to be released that is no longer serving you. This then opens the possibility for healing, transformation, and insights to arise. It is also an opportunity to send prayers and good energy to others and the world.
The core breathwork techniques come from Rebirthing Breathwork and are simple yet powerful ways to move out of the linear mind, release limiting beliefs and emotions, and free up the life force energy that was being used to hold them in place.

During the Ceremony, you will naturally connect to your innate wisdom within. This is because this breathwork practice supports the frontal cortex to become less active. With the breathing and movement combined energy moves around your body and you will experience a variety of feelings, emotions, and sensations. You will be guided and encouraged to surrender to this inner intelligence that knows exactly what’s ready to move and be released. It’s actually very simple but can be surprisingly powerful! All you really need is the willingness to be present, trust the process, let go and let the energy flow.
The final and most important part of the experience is the integration. This is where your system is allowed to settle and any spaces that have been created from anything that’s been released can be filled with clear, fresh, life-force energy to nourish and renew you from the inside out.
At the heart of the way I facilitate is an awareness of trauma. I will support you to self-regulate and titrate the technique so you can receive the power of these modalities in a good way. This is the alchemy of the experience; creating safety and deep inner connection, then moving in and out of states of activation and regulation consciously so that healing, transformation, and release can happen.
This way of working builds a powerful bridge between your breath, your body, and your awareness, which as well as being fundamental to the process is also useful in daily life. Building this bridge between these deep inner experiences and your daily life, where you spend most of your time, is the core intention of my work so that it is genuinely useful and not just a one-off experience.
The techniques we will be using are simple yet profound and they support you to resource, release, and restore from the inside out:
RESOURCE:
Bring awareness into your body and connect to the innate healing capacity within you that knows exactly what's ready to heal.
RELEASE:
Anything that limits you and is ready to move from the mental, physical, energetic, and emotional levels of your being.
RENEW:
Your connection to potent life force energy, insight, creativity, and power that is available to you in every moment, in every breath.
