An afternoon of restoration, release, and re-connection. You'll be beautifully guided with EFT-tapping, somatic dance, breathwork and music.

There is a natural pull within us to slow down as the days get shorter, to turn inward, and rest more.

And yet, as winter approaches, the world seems to ask us to do the opposite.

The festive season is approaching. Calendars fill up and expectations grow. There is shopping, socialising, deadlines, work, family commitments, and the familiar pressure to keep going, pushing beyond our true capacity and the natural energy of winter.

How would you like to discover a new way of navigating this time of year that honours your natural rhythm?

Welcome to The Winter Restoration.

This is an afternoon for you to step out of the pace and pressure of everyday life and come back to yourself.

We will guide you to release, restore and reconnect through three powerful and complementary practices:

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique): Amanda will guide you with this simple yet powerful tool that helps us to identify and release emotions, thoughts and patterns that may be keeping us stuck.

Somatic Dance: Carli will lead this invitation to tune into your body and explore movement as a way of listening, feeling, expressing and releasing, rather than performing.

Breathwork: Carson will guide this breathwork experience, using conscious connected breathing, to support deeper release, restoration and connection with yourself.

Music: Our resident DJ, Kismet will guide us with a carefully curated music journey throughout the day.

Refreshments: There will also be hot drinks, and hand-made snacks to enjoy, with time to pause and connect along the way.

We'll begin by noticing and exploring what we're carrying and what we're ready to release as we move towards winter.

Creating a safe and welcoming space

We want The Winter Restoration to feel like a safe and welcoming space to simply be yourself.

We’ll create an environment that is supportive, compassionate and free from judgement, where you can choose what feels right for you and honour your own boundaries throughout the afternoon.

There is no expectation to share, perform or do anything that doesn’t feel comfortable and we also ask that we respect each other's privacy, keeping anything personal shared on the day confidential.

You are invited to listen to yourself and take part in whatever way feels supportive for you.

Photography & Videography

Note that photography and videos will be taken on the day for promotional purposes. However, this will be done sensitively and discreetly so as not to interrupt or capture anyone in process or emotional release. You will have an opportunity to let your hosts know if you do not wish to be photographed or filmed.

Spaces are limited to only 30 people.
