The Way Home... - A Breathwork Journey and Somatic Expression

Together we will explore:

• Gentle grounding and arrival practices

• Education around breath, the nervous system, and emotional wellbeing

• A guided transformational breathwork journey with specially curated music and intention

• Afterwards, we rest, integrate, and reflect

• Optional sharing circle and connection

• Light snacks to support grounding before returning home

Some of What Becomes Possible Through Breathwork

• Releasing emotions that no longer need to be carried alone

• Awakening energy, movement, and vitality within

• Finding clarity beneath the noise of everyday life

• Deepening connection with yourself and others

• Cultivating a greater sense of safety, belonging, and support

• Supporting nervous system regulation

• Reconnecting with intuition and inner wisdom

• Remembering the wholeness that already exists within you

Every journey is unique. People often leave feeling lighter, clearer, calmer, more connected, and more deeply resourced.

Every breathwork journey is unique. Some people have profound emotional experiences, while others simply feel deeply relaxed, grounded, and connected. There is no right or wrong way to experience the practice.

As the breath begins to deepen and the nervous system responds, you may notice:

Physical Sensations

• Tingling or buzzing in the hands, feet, face, or throughout the body

• Changes in body temperature, such as feeling warm or cold

• Muscle tension, cramping, or contractions in the hands, jaw, feet, or arms

• Trembling, shaking, or spontaneous movement as the body releases stored stress and activation

• A sense of lightness, expansion, energy, or vitality

• Deep relaxation and stillness

• Increased body awareness and connection

Emotional Experiences

• Waves of sadness, grief, anger, fear, joy, love, relief, or gratitude

• Memories, insights, or emotions rising into awareness

• A sense of release from emotions that may have been held beneath the surface

• Greater self-compassion and understanding

• Moments of clarity, peace, connection, or profound presence

Why Does This Happen?

Our bodies are designed to move through and process life's experiences.

Yet many of us have learned to suppress, avoid, or push down emotions in order to cope.

Breathwork creates a bridge between the conscious mind and the deeper layers of the nervous system. Through the breath, we can safely access emotions, sensations, and stored stress that may not be reachable through talking alone.

Rather than analysing or fixing, breathwork invites us to feel, allowing the body to complete processes that may have been interrupted by stress, trauma, grief, or overwhelm.

Often people leave feeling lighter, clearer, calmer, more connected to themselves, and more able to meet life from a place of presence rather than survival.

A Gentle Reminder

You are always in control of your experience. You are welcome to slow down, pause, rest, or modify the practice at any time. This is not about pushing through; it is about listening to and working with your body in a way that feels supportive and safe.

Come exactly as you are. Your breath will meet you there. 🌿

Coming to a Breathwork Journey looks a little bit like attending a sleepover!

Please bring:

• A small pillow for your head

• A yoga or active mat to lie on

• Cushions or bolsters for under your knees

• Blanket/s to keep warm

• Comfortable clothing

• Warm socks or Uggs

• Journal and pen

• Water bottle

• Anything else that helps you feel comfortable and supported

Give yourself time and softness after the session and over the following days.

You may wish to:

• Journal

• Move gently

• Spend time in nature

• Rest

• Drink plenty of water

Your body knows how to integrate in its own time.

If you're feeling drawn to this journey, I encourage you to honour that impulse rather than waiting until the last minute. A minimum of 6 participants is required for the event to run, and decisions regarding venue costs, preparation, and event viability may need to be made in the days leading up to the gathering.

Your early commitment not only supports the event proceeding, but helps create the container that allows others to say yes as well. 💚🌿

Cancellation Policy

Due to venue hire and preparation costs, tickets are non-refundable.

If you are unable to attend, your ticket may be transferred to another person. Please notify us prior to the event so we can update attendance details.

Transformational breathwork can create significant physical, emotional, and energetic shifts in the body. While many people find it deeply beneficial, this style of breathwork may not be suitable for everyone.

Please consult your healthcare provider and contact Elyse before booking if you have any of the following:

• Pregnancy

• Cardiovascular disease, including uncontrolled high blood pressure, heart disease, previous heart attack, or stroke

• Epilepsy, seizures, or a history of seizures

• Glaucoma or retinal detachment

• Recent surgery, major injury, or physical trauma

• Severe asthma or respiratory conditions

• Osteoporosis where intense movement or muscle contractions may pose a risk

• Any condition for which physical or emotional activation may be contraindicated

• Current use of medications that significantly alter consciousness

Mental Health Considerations

Please contact Elyse before booking if you are currently experiencing or have a history of:

• Schizophrenia

• Psychosis

• Bipolar disorder (particularly during manic phases)

• Dissociative disorders

• Severe PTSD where emotional activation may be destabilising

• Recent psychiatric hospitalisation

• Active suicidal ideation

This does not automatically exclude you from participating. A conversation beforehand helps determine whether a group breathwork journey is the most supportive option for you at this time.

Your Safety Matters

Breathwork is always an invitation, never a force. You are encouraged to listen to your body, adjust your pace, rest when needed, and participate in a way that feels supportive and safe for your unique circumstances.

If you have any questions or concerns about whether this event is right for you, please reach out before booking. I am happy to discuss your individual situation and explore the most appropriate support for you.
