Coming Home to Yourself

In the softness of the breath, wisdom of the body, and the gentle rhythm of the drum, we remember that we were never truly lost.

This healing workshop is an opportunity to reconnect with yourself, your body, release stress and tension, regulate your nervous system, and rediscover your inner calm.

Many women carry the effects of chronic stress, anxiety, burnout and trauma within their bodies. While understanding our experiences through conversation can be valuable, lasting healing often begins by gently listening to the wisdom of the body and the rhythm of the heart.

This nurturing women-only workshop introduces a range of evidence-informed, body-based practices that support nervous system regulation, emotional wellbeing and deeper self-connection in a safe, supportive environment.

Throughout the day you will experience gentle somatic practices designed to help you release tension, restore balance and reconnect with yourself, in a safe and nurturing environment.

During the workshop you will experience:

Trauma Release Exercises (TRE®), activation of the body’s natural tremor mechanism that can safely release deep muscular tension and accumulated stress. You will be guided through gentle TRE® sessions and leave with an understanding of how this practice can support release and ongoing wellbeing.

Breath-work ; Discover simple, therapeutic breathing techniques that calm the nervous system, increase body awareness and help regulate the stress response.

Somatic Practices ; Experience mindful movement, grounding exercises, body awareness techniques and nervous system regulation practices that cultivate safety, resilience and presence.

Women’s Drum Circle; Immerse yourself in the healing power of rhythm. No musical experience is needed. You will drum within minutes. Through simple West African djembe rhythms, we will integrate earlier experience, create connection, joy, expression and co-regulation within a supportive circle of women.

This workshop is suitable for women who are:

• Looking for a gentle, body-based approach to healing
• Living with stress, anxiety or burnout
• Recovering from difficult life experiences or trauma
• Feeling disconnected from themselves
• Seeking practical tools for nervous system regulation
• Wanting connection with like-minded women in a safe and welcoming space

What you will take home:

• Reduce stress and physical tension
• Regulate your nervous system
• Feel more grounded and present
• Improve emotional resilience
• Deepen your connection with yourself
• Experience greater calm, vitality and wellbeing

This is no pressure workshop. Everything is offered as an invitation, allowing you to participate at your own pace while being supported within a safe, compassionate trauma-informed environment.

Sometimes healing doesn’t begin with words. It begins with a breath, a gentle tremor, a rhythm, and the quiet reminder that your body already knows the way home.
