Breathing Better: The Science Behind It
Explore the fascinating mechanics of breath. Discover how proper breathing techniques can enhance your overall well-being and reduce stress. This interactive session will provide practical exercises to integrate into your daily routine. By the end, you'll gain a clear understanding of how breathing works and the benefits of breathwork.
Voice activation through sound healing
In this workshop you will learn the intentional use of the voice, breath and sound to regulate the nervous system and restore psycho-emotional and physiological balance.
In Cathy's approach, vocalisation and mantra repetition are integrated with gentle yoga postures, allowing sound and movement to work synergistically through the vagus nerve and respiratory system.
​
Scientific research shows that slow, rhythmic vocal sounds stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, supporting relaxation, emotional regulation and a sense of safety in the body. This combined practice becomes a beneficial self-regulation tool that supports deep relaxation and restorative healing on both a neurological, emotional and somatic level.

All levels welcome.

Womb Wisdom

This reasoning will be about our wombs, as a sacred space where life begins and the vortex from which we connect to our Feminine energy. She symbolizes the potential for new beginnings and the nurturing aspect of the Divine Feminine.
We will explore this powerful portal, as the seat of our intuition, our emotions, our own healing as well as our ancestral healing, and our potent creativity, not just in bringing forth new life, but also in birthing new ideas, dreams, and new beginnings.
New Moon Circle
Come join for the evening of gentle movement, breath work, and a heart-opening mantra sound circle.
The new moon period symbolizes new beginnings, offering a wonderful opportunity for stillness and introspection.
Let's come together as a community to reset our intentions and harness the energy of the lunar cycle for our own growth and creation.
Healing through movement
This workshop is an invitation to gently support nervous system regulation, helping the body move out of survival and back into connection.
​
Our nervous system is constantly scanning for safety. When it senses threat or overwhelm, the body shifts into protection even long after the stress has passed.
​
If you’ve been feeling tense, flat, overwhelmed, or disconnected, this is a chance to meet your nervous system with curiosity and care.

Find stillness amidst the chaos, comfort in discomfort, and a deeper connection with yourself.
All levels welcome!
ART WORKSHOP: Between Tide and Breath
A Meditative Art Experience, Drawing from Nature, Spirit and Stillness
Set against the beauty of the Indian Ocean, this meditative art workshop invites participants into a quiet, intuitive creative practice inspired by nature and inner stillness. Beginning with eyes gently closed, participants draw free-flowing lines without direction or judgment, creating a grounding foundation for their work. These lines then evolve into patterns, personal symbolism, and soft color washes, guided by intuition rather than expectation. No prior art experience is needed - this workshop is about slowing down, entering a peaceful creative flow, and leaving feeling centered, refreshed, and deeply connected to both place and self.
​
Due to limited spaces, signup will be requested at the festival.
