‘What Lives Between Us - A Breathwork Journey of Your Story with Boys & Men’
Every woman carries stories of boys and men within her life. Some tender. Some confusing. Some protective. Some painful. Some complete. Some unfinished.
This breathwork and embodiment journey is an invitation to gently unfold those experiences into full stories whilst recognising how they continue to live within our bodies, nervous systems, relationships, choices, and sense of self.
Together, with gentle support, we will explore the many ways boys and men have shaped our lives. The fathers, brothers, sons, nephews, grandfathers, cousins, teachers, friends, partners, husbands, first loves, strangers, colleagues, community leaders, carers, doctors, spiritual leaders, and the boys we once sat beside as children.
For some, these relationships may hold memories of safety, laughter, affection, protection, admiration, friendship, or deep love. For others, there may be grief, fear, silence, abandonment, pressure, confusion, anger, manipulation, violence, longing, or experiences of having to become smaller to survive. Often, many truths exist at once.
Through gentle guided breathwork, reflection, and nervous system awareness, we create space to notice what our bodies remember, what we may still be carrying, and what possibilities for softness, truth, compassion, boundaries, or reconnection may now want to exist or emerge.
This is not a space to blame men, force healing, analyse trauma, or arrive at neat conclusions. It is a space for the honest witnessing, of ourselves, our stories, our bodies, and the ways our experiences ripple through families, communities, intimacy, motherhood, friendship, and womanhood itself.
Together we recognise the similarity and difference in each of our journeys, and how these can be rooted with love, survival and everything in-between.
Note: Whilst this workshop is intended to be gentle, relational, and trauma-aware, it may not be suitable for those currently living with very raw or untreated trauma connected to boys or men, particularly where diagnosed or undiagnosed signs of PTSD or complex trauma are heavily impacting daily life. Breathwork can sometimes bring forward strong emotions, memories, or nervous system responses, so this space may feel overwhelming for those experiencing frequent flashbacks, dissociation, panic attacks, hypervigilance, nightmares, emotional flooding, severe shutdown, active crisis, or ongoing relational danger. This workshop is not therapy or crisis support, but a reflective wellbeing space for women who feel resourced enough to remain connected to their present-day safety, boundaries, and support systems throughout the experience.
