We start with a warm cup of ceremonial cacao and an intention for the year ahead. Then we dance – no steps, no performance, just the body moving the old year out. And then you lie down and I guide you through conscious connected breathing with music.
Three hours for yourself, in a small group. You don't need any experience with breathwork or dance.

Integration & closing
Rest, grounding and optional sharing. Nobody has to speak.
Participation is always voluntary. You can pause, rest or step out at any time.
Breathing in a group is not a silent meditation
The breath often gets deeper and louder, and the body may express itself – a sigh, movement, tears, laughter. None of this is expected of you, and nothing has to happen. Some sessions are quiet, others more alive. Both are normal.
If a group feels like too much for now, a 1:1 session can be a gentler place to start.
