Immerse yourself on this full moon in a profound heart opening healing journey with the perfect combination of Transformational Breath®, Sound Therapy and Cacao.
Join me and Michelle Cade, founder of Mind Like Water in our cosy, warm and welcoming space: Seven Sisters Sanctuary in north London and journey within an intimate group (max 9).
We’ll begin with a Cacao ceremony - this powerful heart-opening plant medicine will support your experience, allowing you to connect more deeply with yourself and your heart. We'll set intentions before moving into a powerful Transformational Breath® session where you’ll learn this incredible breathwork technique which helps release tension, ease stress or anxiety, process your emotions and help you reconnect to yourself.
Music and therapeutic sounds will be woven into the breathwork experience where you’ll be guided through 45 mins of going deep into your breath, followed by a grounding 45 min sound journey. This will allow you space to process anything which may have arisen during the session, further harmonising and balancing your body and mind.
Expect an atmospheric sonic journey combining binaural beats, ambient soundscapes, nature sounds and a variety of instruments including Tibetan & crystal singing bowls, gongs, tuning forks, a monochord, buffalo drum, steel tongue drum and voice.
💫 What others are saying...
✨“I attended Brenna & Michelle’s breath & sound journey & it was so profound & transformative! The breathwork unearthed a lot for me & the sound bath helped to cleanse it all. Can’t recommend this experience enough!”
✨ "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!"
WHAT TO EXPECT
This three hour journey is designed to be healing, expansive, and even fun too!

WHY BREATHWORK?
Did you know we take over 20,000 breaths a day? Yet, most of us only use about a third of our full lung capacity! That means we’re often living on autopilot, not fully harnessing the power of our breath.
Breathwork is a game-changer - it helps you release, reset, and reconnect to yourself on every level. Some of the benefits you might experience include:
🌬 Reduced stress & anxiety
🌬 Increased energy & mental clarity
🌬 "Therapy without talking"
🌬 Improved sleep
🌬 Reduced physical pain/ tension
🌬 Deep relaxation & sense of inner peace
🌬 More creativity, self-awareness & intuition
🌬 Deeper connection to self and others
🌬 Integration of past traumas, limiting patterns & painful experiences
🌬 Greater self-awareness, creativity & connection
Award-winning therapy
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.

ABOUT CACAO
Ceremonial grade Cacao is a non-psychoactive heart opening and mood boosting plant medicine that lowers blood pressure, decreases stress, and enhances well-being. Unlike commercial chocolate, it is minimally processed and rich in minerals like magnesium, iron, and calcium. It contains phenylethylamine (PEA) and anandamide (AKA the bliss molecule), a neurotransmitter that improves mood and motivation and reduces anxiety. Theobromine in cacao provides a calming effect. Ceremonial cacao is pure, ground cacao bean known as 'cacao liquor' and offers various benefits such as:
Enhanced Mood: Promotes euphoria and happiness.
Increased Focus and Alertness: Theobromine and caffeine improve mental clarity.
Heart Health: Rich in flavonoids that lower blood pressure and reduce inflammation.
Improved Energy Levels: Provides a gentle energy boost without a crash.
**Important (before you make your booking)
In most instances, cacao is perfectly safe and very good for you however the dose may need to be adjusted or avoided in certain circumstances. Please do let us know if you are pregnant, taking medication (anti-depressants or 5-HTP) or if you have any dietary needs or allergies.
You are also welcome to consult your medical practitioner about any pre-existing conditions, medications or concerns to help you decide if Cacao is for you.
Please note: Arise Breathwork or Brenna Duncan cannot be held responsible for any reaction if you have not disclosed dietary needs, health concerns or medication you are taking. It is ultimately a personal choice to consume ceremonial cacao, so please feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss the above.
A FEW THINGS TO NOTE
💫 Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and heavy meals beforehand.
💫 Wear loose, comfy clothing (nothing tight around the waist!).
💫 Bring a water bottle and journal for post-session reflections
💫 Feel free to bring a crystal, photo or any item that enhances your experience
💫 Mats, pillows, blankets and bolsters are provided
