This one’s for the Gents.
We talk. We breathe. We rest.
Most of us have never experienced how much we can move in one session of good, strong breathing.
We'll start by seeing what's present — a short conversation, just enough to settle in and name what's alive in the room. Then you'll find a spot to lie down, and we'll breathe.
In this workshop we'll primarily be using an active, rhythmic breath, held by a playlist built to carry you through the arc of the experience.
You might feel a little tingling at first, usually starting in the hands. There's often a wall of resistance somewhere in there too — a point where some part of you wants to stop, explain, or manage what's happening.
I'll ask you to stay with it. And on the other side of that wall is a kind of breaking through.
Some find it psychedelic — color, sensation, a loosening of the usual edges. What's happening, roughly, is that the part of the brain responsible for the narrative self — the inner editor, the one that tells you who you're supposed to be — goes quiet. Not forever. Just long enough for something underneath to surface.
Most of us don't have a practice for this. We're trained to hold pressure, not release it — to carry the stuck and the charged until it finds its own way out. Usually sideways. Usually at the wrong moment. Usually alone.
This isn't about talking it through. It's physiological. The breath finds what's pressurized and gives it somewhere to go.
What follows is fifteen minutes of the deepest rest most of us have felt in a long time. The heart rate slows. Muscles release. The brain, still and quiet, consolidates and integrates the experience. No prior breathwork experience is needed. All you need to do is show up, and lean in.
We talk. We breathe. And we rest.
It's that simple. And if you feel like talking after, we can do that too — over a cup of tea in the garden outside the studio.

ABOUT BEN
As a breathworker, I meet people in all manner of moments. Moments of transition and moments of resistance. Creative blocks. Emotional blocks. Childhood wounds and those so recent they’re still without a first attempt to scab over.
The container I create is held through the breath, the body, and sound. Through movement, meditation, and years of sitting with people in one-on-one sessions and group spaces.
What matters isn’t the category. It’s the moment. We meet whatever is there. We do it with courage, honesty, and grace.
Whatever comes, we’ll stay with it. My role is to help you access it — to reflect it back to you — and to hold space while you do your magic.
