Holosomatic Breathwork Session - Allowing Freedom
RE-connect to your essence with Shane £28 / Place
Bookings are not available for this event.
Holotropic & Transpersonal States (Psychedelic Style)
About the Session
This breathwork session is focused on allowing yourself freedom in life, of the mind and body. With every inhale we invite, love, abundance and Joy and every exhale we let go of stagnency, heaviness and lack,
Holotropic Breathwork is a deep inner journey guided by the intelligence of your own breath. Through conscious connected breathing in specific patterns and rhythms, immersive music (through headphones) , movement and a carefully held space, you are invited into an expanded state of awareness where the body, heart and subconscious can speak. This is not about forcing an experience, it is about allowing one. As the breath builds, layers begin to soften, emotions can surface, memories and old wounds may arise, insights often land with striking clarity. The music carries you, the breath fuels you, and your inner wisdom leads the way.
Each journey unfolds in waves. There may be moments of intensity, tenderness, release, even profound stillness. You may encounter old wounds ready to be felt and freed, forgotten parts of yourself asking to be reclaimed, or a sense of connection that feels vast and grounding all at once. After the breathing phase, we integrate through rest, reflection and optional sharing, allowing the experience to settle into the body. People come to Holotropic Breathwork when they are ready for change, for truth, for something deeper than surface healing. If you feel that quiet pull inside, it is often the first step. Your breath is not just air. It is a doorway.
Please note: You may experience emotional and physical releases from the body.
Feeling Safe
Collective Healing
Our group Holosomatic Breathwork sessions are held as a safe, shared space where you can arrive exactly as you are, no pressure, no judgement, just space to breathe and be. There’s something super powerful about being in a room with others on the same journey, a quiet sense that you’re not alone in what you carry, each person held within a collective intention to soften, release and reconnect. Through conscious connected breathing, music and gentle guidance, you’re invited to turn inward and meet yourself with honesty and compassion, nothing is forced, everything is at your own pace. This is a space where self expression is welcomed, where you can let go of self criticism and allow whatever needs to move, to move. The circle holds you, the breath guides you, and what unfolds often stays with you long after you leave, creating a deeper sense of connection, both within yourself and with others.
And breathe...
What does a Holosomatic Breathwork Session Look like?
Holotropic and Transpersonal States (psychedelic style)
The breathwork technique for attaining Holotropic and Transpersonal states involves 4 distinct phases: Activation, Exploration, Expansion, Integratrion.
We always start with a grounding phase of around to establish a sense of presence.
The Activation phase lasts 5-7 minutes, inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth while in a sitting or lying position.
The Exploration phase, lasting 30-40 minutes, emphasises mouth breathing in a lying position to facilitate a deeper exploration of one's consciousness. (Conscious Connected Breath)
The Expansion phase, lasting 5-8 minutes (with optional nose breathing), further expands the breathwork experience.
Lastly, we conclude with a 10-minute integration phase to help participants assimilate and reflect on their experiences.
How to Prepare for the session
Be prepared and wear comfortable clothing and please bring: Please dont eat a heavy meal within 4 hours before a session, something light is ok and stay hydrated.
- Yoga mat or folding matress - thicker the better for comfort
- Pillow(S)
- Cover/throw/quilt
- Water
- Notebook and pen
- Eye cover (advised but not essential)
Further Understanding
Conscious connected breathing works directly with the autonomic nervous system, the part of you that governs stress and safety, by changing the rhythm of the breath in a supported setting, we can help the body shift out of long held fight or flight responses and into a state where processing becomes possible, research in breathwork and somatic therapy shows that intentional breathing can reduce stress hormones, improve heart rate variability and support emotional regulation.
When something overwhelming happens and cannot be processed at the time, it does not simply disappear, it can remain stored as tension, protective patterns or unresolved emotional charge, breathwork allows access to these deeper layers in a way that talking alone often cannot, the analytical mind softens, the body speaks and what has been held can begin to move.
Nourishment for Mind, Body, Spirit
How this method can support you
There are times in life when you realise you are functioning, but not fully feeling. You might be carrying tension that never quite switches off, feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or tired of holding everything together. You may understand the story, yet your body still feels braced. A session can be powerful when you sense something is ready to shift, when you are willing to meet yourself honestly, and when you want support to move from coping into genuine regulation and reconnection. This work is for those moments when you know you are ready to go deeper, safely and with guidance.
This method can support you with:
- Releasing stored stress and unresolved emotional tension
- Reducing anxiety and chronic nervous system activation
- Processing grief, transitions, or significant life events
- Reconnecting with your body and emotional awareness
- Gaining clarity during periods of change or uncertainty
- Strengthening resilience and emotional regulation
- Softening protective patterns that no longer serve you
- Deepening your relationship with yourself
It is not about fixing you.
It is about giving your system the conditions it needs to reset, integrate and remember its own capacity to heal.

Event Reviews
This was an incredible experience. Shane had already created and set the space before I arrived putting thought and care into everything. I immediately felt at ease and supported which is essential for this kind of inner work. Before the breathwork started Shane outlined exactly the process and we introduced some movement and set intentions for the session so I felt fully prepared before the breathwork began. The breathwork itself was not easy or passive it was fully engaged and enhanced by music and Shanes guidance. I felt seen, heard, held - I wont go too much into my personal experience because it would be different for everyone but personally I felt a huge release of emotion and immense sense of gratitude. Thank you thank you thank you I cannot wait to come again.

I had been to breathwork sessions before but not on this level. Shane is an amazing space holder and is fantastic at explaining everything clearly and making you feel comfortable and safe. The breathwork was really tailored to me and my needs and with the blending of the music and sound, I was able to really delve deep into what needed to be released. I'm not going to sugarcoat it, it's tough journey but I have been able to process things that years of therapy couldn't. I'm eternally grateful for the work Shane does and will be booking in regularly to keep finding those little forgotten prices of myself.

I went into this holosomatic breathwork session feeling tired and honestly not that open to it. I’ve experienced a few breathwork sessions before and never really felt much shift, so my expectations were quite low. But this was completely different. From the start, Shane created a space that felt safe, and grounded. I experienced a level of clarity and release that I hadn’t accessed before. It felt like something really shifted within me and I could really let go. Since that day, I can genuinely say I’ve felt different. My mind feels clearer, calmer, and more spacious. It’s like a weight I didn’t fully realise I was carrying has lifted. I would wholeheartedly recommend Shane and this experience to anyone, whether you’re new to breathwork or have tried it before.
