SOUL RITUAL MINI RETREAT:
A Homecoming
Sunday 7th December 4 - 7pm GMT
A winter retreat for coming home to yourself.
What This Mini Retreat Is
A deeply nourishing 3-hour experience blending:
▪️ Grounding yoga
▪️ Somatic unwinding
▪️ Breathwork
▪️ Conscious dance
▪️ Nervous-system settling practices
▪️ Winter-season ritual
▪️ A guided dance journey for you to restore and replenish
It is slow, warm, body-led, and deeply human — an inward space to reconnect with your truth before the world pulls you outward again.
Why Connection Matters (Especially Now)
Early winter is one of the most dysregulating times of the year. The external world gets busier while the internal world grows quieter — creating a mismatch that the nervous system feels immediately.
You might recognise yourself in this season:
- pulled between responsibilities and emotions
- longing for stillness but running on empty
- planning to “crash” over Christmas
- overstimulated yet under-nourished
- carrying unspoken grief, stress, or loneliness
When the system becomes overstretched, the first thing we lose is connection — to our body, our breath, our instincts, our inner steadiness. This retreat is a heartfelt pause

What You’ll Experience
1. A Slow, Grounding Coming Home
Yoga-based movement to settle your breath and soften overwhelm. Bones, breath, and earth connection — the three fastest pathways to nervous system regulation.
2. Somatic Warm-In & Micro-Movement Mapping
Gentle unwinding of the spine, pelvis, ribs, and joints. Opening the deeper layers of sensation so you can actually feel yourself again.
3. Breathwork for Inner Warmth
A steadying breath pattern that lowers anxiety, softens reactivity, and creates internal spaciousness.
4. The Gateway
A symbolic passage from the outer world into your inner landscape — simple, potent, soft and grounding
5. Guided Somatic Dance Journey
A 60-minute movement arc through: Discovery → Remembering → Return Designed to re-awaken your inner connection with curiosity, aliveness and hope
6. Integration & Closing
A gentle reflection, a symbolic centering, and an inner vision mapping to feel held.
What You’ll Leave With
🤍 A quieter mind.
🤍 A steadier breath.
🤍 A clearer sense of your own truth.
🤍 A feeling of being back inside yourself
🤍 A new sense of inspiration
🤍 A calm coming home perhaps after being away for too long

A guided somatic movement journey that blends conscious dance, breathwork, and creative expression to help you feel grounded, clear, and confidently you—without choreography or performance.
2) What if I can't dance?
This is not about dance per se, but rather about your creative expression. And with this mini retreat, its more about giving yourself the time and space to drop out of your busy head, and experience a dropping back into yourself. We start with breath, we warm up gently, I give you gentle guidance into yogic practices, somatic practices, conscious dance.

We will have opening and closing circle, but everything is optional. The time is yours, you are also welcome to sit out and rest at any time during the afternoon.
5) What if I feel emotional?
Being able to feel is a gift. This is possibly an emotional time for you. You come as you are, you bring all of you into the space, to be held and feel supported.
