Somatic Sanctuary
Your Monthly Somatic Healing Journey
We all carry pieces of our past with us. Some of those pieces can hold us back, affecting how we feel, think and respond to the world around us.
Whether it's recent stress and frustration from work or something you've carried for decades, unresolved emotions and past experiences can sometimes show up in unexpected ways. Self-sabotage, unhealthy coping mechanisms, emotional outbursts, overreacting to small setbacks, lack of motivation, low self-esteem, excessive worrying or catastrophising. The list goes on and on and on.
If your body is holding on to past trauma or your nervous system has learned to automatically react to situations because of past experiences, Somatic Sanctuary has been created just for you my dear.
Held on the last Sunday of every month, Somatic Sanctuary is a fully guided, two-hour journey to reconnect with your body, discover what it may be holding on to, listen to what it's telling you and gently letting go.
By acknowledging and working with these emotions and physical responses, we can begin to break old destructive patterns, ease tension and create space for personal growth.
We'll finish with a deeply restorative guided meditation, focusing on self-healing, self-belief and welcoming the energy, confidence and motivation you want to carry into the month ahead.
And the experience itself?
The sounds of ancient woodland, the aroma of calming herbs, the warmth of the fire, pillows, blankets and cosiness galore.
Everything is there to help your nervous system feel nurtured and supported before your head has even touched the pillow and you've slipped on your eye mask.
Throughout your journey, you'll experience a combination of:
Guided meditation and breathwork
Somatic awareness and body connection
Gentle somatic release techniques
Self-massage for nervous-system soothing
Deep relaxation, grounding and self-healing meditation
No strenuous movement or physical exercises are required. Everything can be experienced lying down or sitting comfortably, and you're free to adapt or skip anything that doesn't feel right for you.
Oh… and you might feel rather tired afterwards! Give yourself permission to take it easy, reflect and enjoy a peaceful rest of your Sunday.
A deeply immersive and nurturing experience to reconnect with your mind and body, release what no longer serves you and welcome in a renewed confidence, motivation and empowerment for the month ahead.
