Featured event
Back to Your Essence: Body, Breath & Being ✨🌿
In this 2-hour immersive experience, Özlem invites you to slow down, tune in, and rediscover the natural intelligence of your body.
Through a combination of somatic movement, breath awareness, and guided meditation, we’ll explore what it means to truly be, to inhabit our bodies with gentleness, presence, and authenticity.
You’ll be guided through:
- 🌬️ Conscious connected breathwork to release emotional and physical tension
- 🧘♀️ Somatic movement to awaken body awareness and ease stored patterns
- 🌿 Grounding and stillness to reconnect with your natural rhythm
- ✍️ Reflection & integration to anchor insights into daily life
This is not a performance or a class, it’s a space to feel, to listen, and to remember who you are beneath the layers of doing.
You’ll leave feeling grounded, calm, and more connected to your inner essence.
