WOMENS WOMB & BREATH JOURNEY

This is a special event combining women's circle, womb energetics and breathwork journey.

During this 3 hour ceremony, we begin with a women's circle and Loren will guide you through a womb meditation to support you in connecting with your womb - the centre of our feminine energy and house of humanity. Then you'll learn about the energetics of the womb and how to do the conscious connected breathwork technique, ways to support and resource yourself throughout and a full 60 min breathwork journey with space for integration and sharing about your experience at the end, if you want to share. You'll leave with more tools to support you in your day to day life and a profound experience.

Our bodies are over 60% water and the organs of rebirthing breathwork take into consideration our birth story and what happened while we were in utero. This breathwork journey won't involve water however it may be interesting for you to find out about what happened when you were born - premy or overdue, long or short labour, were interventions used etc.

Our wombs are incredibly powerful and hold so much wisdom for us. And at the same time we may be holding onto a lot of past pain and trauma within our body and womb. We can use breathwork as a way to somatically release, process and cleanse. It's important we as women have spaces where we can be with just other women to let go in a trauma informed way.

Breathwork is a tool we can use to support our autonomic nervous system and is a powerful way to both activate and unwind.

Breathwork can help with;

Activate creativity
Reduce stress, anxiety and grief
Release toxins from the body
Tap into your intuition/gut knowing
Access forgiveness
Allows old emotions and traumas to be released from the body and mind
Increase joy, pleasure and ease in your life
Great for surfers, athletes, free divers and overall breathing capacity useless in fitness

This event is open to all women over 18 years old, all identities welcome.
