Resonant Presence — A 3-Hour Mini Retreat Morning

Movement, Breathwork & A Sensory Integration Journey

Sunday 20th December 2026 | 10:00am–1:00pm
Space at the Mill, Manchester


Resonant Presence is a grounding, embodied journey designed to bring you home to your body.

We weave together movement, conscious connected breathwork, live sound, gentle sensory activation, and deep integration to support emotional connection, nervous-system steadiness, and a soft return to yourself.


What to Expect


1. Movement — Arriving in the Body

We begin with simple, guided movement  to loosen tension, reconnect with your breath, and awaken the body from within.


2. Cacao — Opening the Heart Gently

Following movement, we settle into warm, heart-opening cacao to soften the mind, nourish the emotional body, and prepare you for the deeper journey ahead.

Cacao helps you land, open gently, and arrive in your inner landscape with intention and tenderness.


3. Breathwork — Opening Gently, Going Deep Safely

This style of Conscious Connected Breathwork supports you to explore deeper layers of yourself at a pace your body can trust — not forceful, not pushed.
What comes up may be emotion, clarity, softness, insight, or a deeper sense of connection. The practice helps you stay steady and present with whatever arises.

If you're looking for a fast-paced or intensely activating style of breathwork, this session is still dynamic but offers  a gentler, more embodied, nervous-system-honouring approach.

Supported by:

  • a curated playlist designed to guide your journey subtly, supporting emotional flow and rhythmic ease

This practice can meet you powerfully or softly, opening you in the way your body is ready for that day — but it is never forceful.

We invite your body to open at its own pace, without pushing your system beyond what it can safely hold.

If you’ve seen breathwork sessions that involve  intense activation, this offers a space for something different — a grounded, steady, embodied style that honours your window of tolerance.

Emotions may arise — they’re welcome — and we meet them through breath and presence, supporting you to stay resourced and gradually expand your capacity to be with sensation and feeling.


4. Alchemy Sound Journey & Sensory Integration — Landing Softly

 

After the breathwork, the journey continues as we move into a full Alchemy Crystal Bowl immersion — a spacious, resonant field created by my  complete alchemy set.


These crystalline tones support emotional coherence, deep settling, and a gentle unwinding through the water and fascia of the body.

From this soundscape, we transition into a sensory integration sequence designed to ground and regulate the system.

Optional essential oil mists and grounding oils

This closing phase is nurturing, restorative, and deeply regulating — a soft landing that brings the whole journey together.


If You’re Navigating Something Heavy

If you're moving through significant stress, instability, or a recent emotional rupture, you may feel more supported in a space that’s fully dedicated to you. 

A 1:1 session can offer the kind of personalised care that might serve you better right now.


Who This Is For

This session is ideal for those who want to:

  • release stress or tension safely
  • explore breathwork without overwhelm
  • reconnect with the body
  • feel supported in a gentle, grounded way
  • soften, regulate, and return to presence

No experience is needed.
Come exactly as you are.


What to Bring

  • Comfortable layered clothing
  • Water
  • A blanket or warm layer
  • A journal & Pen
  • Eye Mask
  • Cushion For your Head

(mats and blankets are provided, but for extra comfort and warmth I recommend bringing one extra)
