what to expect
A space where nothing is expected of you.
This first evening is all about arriving. Before we explore the conversations ahead, we begin by slowing down and settling into the space.
Your evening includes:
Opening cacao ceremony to ground and set intentions.
Somatic movement, dancing, shaking & restorative yoga to reconnect with your body, release tension and move freely.
Introduction to breath, nervous system regulation & vagus nerve practices to cultivate calm and build everyday resilience.
Guided breathwork to deepen presence and self-awareness.
A gentle gong bath for deep rest and integration.
Journaling & guided reflection to make sense of what comes up.
A shared creative practice: painting together on one big roll of paper on the floor, with space to play, create and express.
Tea, water & nourishing snacks to close the evening together.
No experience with any of this is needed.
what to bring
Comfortable clothing you can move in.
A journal (optional, but encouraged).
We recommend eating lightly beforehand, as cacao and breathwork are best experienced on a light stomach.

you're always there for everyone else. what if tonight, you just showed up for yourself?
Your nervous system has two settings you rarely reach: fully charged, and fully at rest. Most days you live in the narrow middle, busy but not energised, tired but not resting.
Tonight we go to both ends. An evening to pause, feel seen and remember that none of us are carrying life alone.
You'll leave with:
A nervous system that remembers what rest feels like.
Something you made with strangers who won't be strangers by 10pm.
The tools to find your way back here on your own.
