Accepting Your Emotions: Virtual Group Breathwork Journey

Do you ever find yourself feeling something but finding it difficult to express? Perhaps you suppress your emotions so it doesn't make others feel too uncomfortable? You may have been giving too much of yourself to other people and not allowing any time for yourself. You might even be worried that if you express your true feelings, you may be rejected by others.

Expressing ourselves openly and honestly is incredibly difficult. More often than not, when we don't express ourselves, it can lead to anxiety, stress and illness. It can sometimes lead to emotional outbursts that leave you feeling confused and embarrassed.  This month's breathwork journey is all about accepting your emotions. Allowing yourself to healthily express exactly how you're feeling. Join me for 2 hours, putting your thoughts and feelings first. Gift yourself the ultimate self-care.

You will be guided by Katie from KatieHart.JustBreathe. Katie is a kind and understanding facilitator with heaps of experience guiding others. Her certifications are in Breathwork and Reiki. She has also undergone trauma-informed training.

The event starts with an introduction from Katie where we'll hear more about this month's theme. You'll have an opportunity to explore the theme using thought-provoking journal prompts. There will be an option to share anything that you have written. You'll be guided on a 25-minute transformational breathwork journey. This is followed by an empowering 20-minute meditation around the theme. You will be fully supported on how to integrate after the workshop. Read more about the healing modalities used in this event here.

The best part about this event is that it can be conveniently done from the safety of your own home. You won’t have to leave the house and rush to the session, saving you time and avoiding the stress of being in a hurry. You will also have more time for quiet reflection after the session. You'll end up feeling calm and relaxed, not having to rush off to the next thing.

Are you ready to feel emotionally calm?

What Have Others Said About the Virtual Group Breathwork Events?

I had a breathwork and meditation class with Katie which was carried out via zoom.  Katie made suggestions to help set the scene and the beauty of taking part online is you can thoroughly relax in your own home without having to contemplate the journey home especially beneficial in the dark cold winter months.  Katie is a warm and bubbly person and she immediately makes you feel at ease. I felt safe and relaxed during the two-hour session and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

I was guided so gently and supportively - I had never done anything like this before and I was very nervous but by the end, in Katie's capable and calming hands, I had the most amazing experience. It really cleared a lot of emotional blocks and I would totally recommend!
