Rebirthing, Emotional Release & Bioenergetics

From Holding to Freedom

12th – 15th November 2026
with Sanjula and Abhi

From Holding to Freedom

So many of us move through life carrying emotions we never really had space to feel.

We learn to swallow our anger, hold in our sadness, tighten our body, restrict our breath, as patterns to cope with difficult moments.

And after a while, that tension becomes normal, until we realise we’re living with a tight chest, a stiff jaw, shallow breath, or a constant feeling of being ‘on guard’ or in fear.

This workshop is an opportunity to experience 3 body-based therapy techniques.

You’ll be supported to safely meet unexpressed emotions such as anger, pain and fear that come from experiences you’ve never fully digested in life.

Begins on:
Thurs 12th November at 17:00

'When emotions don’t get the chance to be felt and completed, they stay stored as tension, heaviness, or unhealthy stress responses.'
