The Reconnect
– an afternoon of connection to nature, community and self–
In the height of summer, we invite you step into the woods to reconnect - with nature, community and yourself.
The Reconnect will be an afternoon of connection to body, nature and creativity at the beautiful Stanmer Sauna Garden just outside Brighton. We’ll weave together nature connection practice, conscious connected breathwork (please read the note below on this practice), guided sauna, storytelling and rest and many snacks. It’ll be spacious, deeply grounding, rejuvenating and lots of fun.

What will we be doing?
We'll meet for intros and a grounding session before heading out on a guided walk and nature based practice
We'll then move into conscious connected breathwork under the trees, exploring breath as reciprocity with nature
Then we sauna! The sauna capacity is 8, so we'll cycle in and out, with time for cold plunges (optional!) and chats
We'll then finish with rest, storytelling and snacks before a closing circle at 6
Conscious connected breathwork is a safe practice and we will be taking a gentle approach, but can still result in physiological changes that can activate altered states of consciousness, which are safe but can result in physical and emotional release, and sometimes cause dizziness, tingling, shaking and the feeling of energy moving through the body.
