Autumn Breath + Sound Day Retreat, Sat 18th Oct, London

An Autumn Breath + Sound Day Retreat for Release, Renewal & Deep Nourishment in Seven Sisters Sanctuary, London

Together Brenna (Arise Breathwork) and Michelle (Mind Like Water) will guide you through a deeply nourishing day of breathwork, sound, movement, and rituals (cacao and fire!) designed to support you release, reconnect and reset this Autumn 🍂✨

Autumn invites us to pause, let go, and create space for what’s next. As the seasons shift, this is the perfect time to slow down, reflect on the last few months, and realign.

The day is designed to help you fully immerse yourself within a supportive, cosy and welcoming space so you can leave feeling lighter, clearer, and deeply grounded. Plus you might have made a few new friends too!

With only 9 spaces available, this intimate full day gathering offers a powerful opportunity for connection, restoration and transformation.

What you’ll experience

✨ Transformational Breath® x2 – You’ll be guided through two powerful and fully facilitated breathwork journeys, incorporating bodywork and acupressure for deep release.

What others have said?

“Thank you again for today. I’m currently sitting and journaling in the park and I feel like a completely different person to this morning. You guys are so magic!”

“It was a truly amazing day! I feel that it has shifted some really deep-rooted stuff 🙂 I have noticed a big change in my anxiety levels this week & even with several things happening that would normally have really triggered me, I have stayed balanced. Thanks for creating such a safe, healing & transformative experience!”

“It was truly a transformational experience. The combination of sound & breathing was magical. It was cosmic, and I’m excited to do some more with you!”

“Brenna & Michelle create a very welcoming & inclusive environment. The session was curated very well – from the intro to the reintegration it flowed seamlessly. I was completely lost in the moment throughout both the breathing & sound. I had a deep dive into some interesting subconscious spaces with some profound personal insights. Still floating the day after!”

“Such a lovely day connecting with beautiful souls and kind spirits. Thank you Bren and Michelle for your genuine and compassionate care xoxo”

Why Transformational Breath®?

Did you know we take over 20,000 breaths a day? Yet most of us only use about a third of our full breathing capacity! When we limit our breath, we limit our life. Breathwork helps us break free from restricted breathing patterns and step into a more vibrant, open, and connected way of being. It’s a game-changer for your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being.

Transformational Breath® was recognised as the Best Complementary Therapy by The Institute of Complementary and Natural Medicine. The Transformational Breath® Foundation is also accredited by the Global Professional Breathwork Alliance, ensuring quality and safety.

Benefits of Sound Therapy

Sound therapy helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system, releasing emotional blocks and restoring balance to your body and mind. It promotes deep relaxation, reduces stress, and supports the release of feel-good hormones like dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin.

By harmonizing your energy, it enhances mood, improves sleep, and strengthens immunity. It also fosters self-awareness, creating space for deep reflection, intuitive insights, and a greater connection to yourself and others. Through the transformative power of sound, you’ll leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more in tune with your inner wisdom.

About Cacao

Ceremonial-grade cacao is a non-psychoactive heart-opening, mood-boosting plant medicine that lowers blood pressure, reduces stress, and enhances well-being. Unlike commercial chocolate, it’s minimally processed and packed with minerals like magnesium, iron, and calcium. Rich in phenylethylamine (PEA) and anandamide (the “bliss molecule”), it naturally elevates mood, while theobromine provides a gentle, calming energy boost without a crash.

Cacao supports focus, heart health, and emotional balance, making it a powerful ally for deep, intentional experiences.

If you are pregnant, on medication (anti depressants or 5_HTP), or have dietary concerns, please check suitability before consumption.

Please note: Arise Breathwork/ Brenna Duncan or Mind Like Water/ Michelle Cade can’t be held responsible for any reaction if you have not disclosed dietary needs, health concerns or medication you’re taking. It is ultimately a personal choice to consume ceremonial cacao, so please feel free to contact us if you would like to discuss the above.
