(12 spaces left) Pneuma - A Breathwork & Sound Healing Experience

Join certified Sound Therapist, Chris Toms from Harmonic Essence, and experienced Breathwork Coach, Kym Burls, for an evening spent in deep relaxation.

We start the evening with RELAXING BREATHWORK, to unwind the mind. We then flow into a THERAPEUTIC SOUND JOURNEY, to relax the body, enabling you to sink into a deep meditative state, with the effects felt long after the last note has been played.

Additionally, unlike a lot of other sound baths, the instruments are amplified, to increase the frequencies & vibrations, to surround & support you on your relaxing journey.

What are the benefits?

Unlike Meditation, which helps us become aware of what’s happening in our minds, both Sound Therapy and Breathwork allow you to disconnect from your mind, providing several wonderful crossover benefits, including:

• Reduce stress
• Help with depression and anxiety
• Improve pain management
• Improve sleep quality
• Lower blood pressure
• Improve cardiovascular health
• Clear and calm the mind
• Help to find purpose
• Create an overall sense of wellbeing

What is a Sound Journey (aka Sound Bath)?

A Sound Bath, Sound Meditation or Sound Journey is a sensory audio experience that brings profound calm, akin to years of meditation in a single session. Participating is simple - just show up and either lie down or sit comfortably. A variety of sounds, including healing Gongs, Himalayan Singing Bowls, Drums, Vocals and Handpan guide you on a unique journey.

What is Breathwork?

The term ‘breathwork’ is a catch-all for any conscious breath practice, something Kym embodies with his technique agnostic facilitation. Unlike many other guided breathwork events, the breathing protocols you’ll explore at Pneuma are designed to create safety & deep relaxation within the body by focusing on slow, rhythmic breathing and gentle breath holds.
