Breathwork for Trauma Release & Manifestation

When: 19th August, 6-8 pm Venue: SOMM (School of Modern Meditation), 1 Howe Street, Auckland Central With: Sarita Blankenburg, Founder of Ayurveda NZ and Lisa Hamilton-Gibbs, Founder of The Bumblebee Frequency. Limited spaces available, bookings essential. What to expect in our two hours together This is not a lecture, and it is not therapy in the clinical sense. It is a gentle, guided, and powerful experience. Part 1. Understanding During a brief introduction, we will explain, in a simple and accessible way, what trauma is, how it lives in the body, and how Edwin Tan’s integrated Somatic Practice can help release it. You'll leave this part with a clearer understanding of what's happening inside you and why none of it is your fault, allowing your system to finally drop the weight of self-blame. Part 2. Breathwork and Qigong (Preparing the body) We then move into gentle breathwork paired with Qigong, slow, flowing movements that open the body, balance our energy channels, and settle the nervous system. This prepares you to go deeper safely, creating a sense of grounding and presence before the active release work begins. Part 3. Active Somatic Release (The heart of the session) The final part is a guided, active breathwork journey supported by music and somatic techniques. Through the breath, the body is given permission to do what it has long wanted to do: shake, soften, release, cry, laugh, exhale. You don't need to "do" anything your body knows the way. We will hold the space, and the breath will do the work. Following your Session Somatic integration is entirely unique to you, and everyone moves through their release differently. Whether your experience was a subtle shift or profound physical clearing, you will leave with a greater understanding of the pain your body has been carrying and a clear pathway to the peace you deserve. Ready to begin? Healing doesn't have to be heavy. It can be a homecoming. If something in you said yes while reading this, trust it. Book your spot below - we would be honored to hold space for you.
