Breathing into the Power of Community with Sophie Kirkton.

With breath, let's deeply connect and honour the season of Autumn as a season we pause into deep connection.

Join us for an intimate breathwork workshop at Open House, facilitated by Sophie Kirkton. This breathwork practice honours the healing power of conscious breathing. It is a deep meditative practice that allows us to become truly embodied and to feel again. 

Together let's deepen our breath, to build our collective energy and to feel the depth of community.

"We will both be present in all our unraveling, make no attempt to get it together for me. If we are together then that is all I need" - David Gate

  • I’m a fully trained breathwork practitioner and cold water therapist, trained in several different modalities of breathwork including trauma informed practices to ensure I am able to hold safe spaces that meet your emotional and physical needs throughout the sessions.

    I love spending time outside in nature with my two young children. Our lives revolve around playing outside, swimming, cycling, camping and exploring in the woods, we’re always in a woodland somewhere. I love good food and cooking although I don’t have as much time as I’d like to cook these days.

  • We often forget how important the body is for mental health. The truth is that we don’t think our feelings. We feel them in our bodies. In our throats, our chests, our backs and our limbs. Practices such as breathwork allow us to become truly embodied and to feel again.

    Our breath is the only part of our autonomic nervous system that we can control and the effects are profound. When breathwork is done safely, it is gentle, powerful, healing and can transform our physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.

    This breathwork practice is a deep meditative practice that facilitates the release of emotions we may have been holding onto for many years. We often focus only on banishing the anxious thoughts, slowing our racing minds but this can lead to a never-ending cycle of living in our heads with little relief.

    When you work with me, we focus on bringing light to our bodies and soothing our nervous system. Through this powerful breathwork we are better able to sit with emotions and physical feelings and expand our awareness and our connections to ourselves. Breathwork is a powerful tool that leaves us lighter and often in a state of bliss and total mind clarity.
