An evening of Conscious Connected Breathwork and meditation by candlelight. Your pause before Christmas.

You are invited.

As the world speeds up for Christmas, come and slow down with us.

Awakened Breath by Candlelight is an evening of Conscious Connected Breathwork, calming breath techniques and meditation, held in the glow of candlelight at the gorgeous Earthlings Healing Cafe.

Amongst the shopping lists, the late nights and the busyness of the season, this is your pause.

A space to slow down.

A space to soften.

A space to be held.

The power of Conscious Connected Breathwork

Conscious Connected Breathwork is a continuous, circular breath with no pause between the inhale and the exhale.

It is a powerful surrendering process that creates a deeper energetic charge in the body.

When we breathe in this way, the nervous system can begin to soften its protective patterns, and what has been held for a long time may finally have the space to move.

Some people feel emotion rise and release.

Some feel tingling, warmth or waves of energy.

Some feel deep stillness, clarity or a profound sense of connection.

Every journey is unique, and your body leads the way.

The journey is held with a curated playlist, softened with festive notes.

We will close with calming breath and meditation, so you can glide into deep rest, as we come back, the soft sound of Koshi chimes and a grounding earth spray will help you land gently back in your body.

It really is a beautiful practice of coming home to yourself.

You will be held and supported in a nurturing and loving space.

This evening is for you if you are feeling stretched by the season, craving stillness, or simply ready to give yourself the gift of rest.

About me

I’m Vicky, a trauma-informed breathwork teacher, GPBA approved, with over 1,000 hours of training.

For 12 years I worked in recovery and addictions, where I witnessed the power of connection and community in healing.

In 2023 I left that path to devote myself fully to breathwork, after receiving clear guidance that this is my calling.

I now lead a 400 hour breathwork facilitator training, supporting others to hold this work with safety and reverence.

I believe change happens when we feel safe.

I believe the breath is the language of the nervous system.

I believe our bodies hold a deep ability to heal.
