Emotion Release

A series of embodied techniques to release emotions from the body.

About

Join us for 90 minutes of deep emotional processing and release of emotions unconsciously stored in the system.

Working with somatic practices for dropping us into the felt sense, we begin to truly feel and process what's alive in our bodies in the present moment, deepening our ability to observe sensations without reaction. By doing this, we can develop a deeper capacity to navigate life's challenges, with more inner space and conscious awareness.

Delving into emotional charges that feel particularly stuck, we will work with Somatic Experiencing techniques from Peter Levine's work to "dislodge" trauma stored in the system, simultaneously creating more safety in the body.

Weaving breathwork, movement and vocal practices, we will intentionally open up the body and allow physical and emotional tension to loosen up, move and “complete” on a cellular level.

Accessing deep meditation, we will drop into a place of consciously observing the landscape of our internal experience, becoming less attached and more connected to a place within us beyond fear.

_“E_xtremely powerful workshop which was brilliantly led and held throughout. I experienced a powerful release of long held trauma and emotion. Laura's training and experience make her a valuable facilitator for this very deep shamanic work." ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑ Elise W

Who is this for?

• Anyone feeling frustrated, numb or stuck in themselves
• Anyone who wishes to connect more to their body and deeper essence
• Anyone who's felt challenged by life recently and needs a good release
• Anyone who wishes to create safety in their body at will
• Those who wish to open to feel more and move beyond numbness and "being in the head"
• Anyone with physical tension caused by stress or trauma
• Those with unresolved emotional pain

_“_For anyone who feels like their current efforts with self-care and emotional healing aren't quite going deep enough, this is for you. Laura is a brilliant facilitator who is very good at creating a calm, centered and non-judgmental space. Definitely the kind of emotional work I need to be doing! Will 100% attend again." ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑ Ross W

Throughout the session, we will anchor in the embodied experience of safety and learn practices for grounding. This is imperative for integrating deep emotional work without reactivating trauma.

We will end the session by grounding and resourcing ourselves and connecting to the medicine of our hearts and deeper selves.

_“_This session totally transformed how I was feeling. I was sad at the beginning of the session as everyone shared how anxious and overwhelmed they felt, filled with negative emotions. Laura held the space so well and shared her expertise in such a loving, friendly way, giving us somatic practises that instantly changed how we felt. It was a very powerful experience and I feel like it brought up a lot for me that was moved through my body and out. If we all did this every day the world would be a much better place."
