From Suppression to Expression: A Monthly Somatic Release Circle

From Suppression to Expression is a monthly somatic release circle created for women who are ready to move through the emotional weight they have been carrying. This is a space to meet what has been silenced, softened, swallowed or avoided, and to allow the body to speak in its own sacred language of movement, breath and sound.

Many women hold years of unexpressed emotions within their bodies. Rage that was never allowed. Grief that was never witnessed. Shame that was never voiced. Fear that was never met with compassion. In this circle, we honour these emotions not as burdens but as gateways back to ourselves.

This is not a therapy session and it is not a performance.

It is a somatic journey - one that guides you from suppression into embodied expression, from contraction into release, from holding it all in to finally letting it move.

Together, we move, we breathe, we hum, we shake, we sound, and we soften. We remember that we are not fragile. We are feeling beings. And the body always knows how to come home when given a safe place to land.

What to Expect Each Month

Part One: The Descent (Movement and Somatic Release – 60 minutes)

A guided journey into the body using:

~intuitive somatic movement

~shaking and release practices

~chakra focused clearing, especially the sacral and throat

~breath work to soften the inner freeze

~optional vocal release through humming, toning or gentle sounding

This portion of the circle is where emotions can move ~ without force, without story, and without shame.

Part Two: The Return (Grounding and Integration – 30 minutes)

We complete our circle with;

~supported rest and shavasana

~grounding practices for the nervous system

~spacious silence or gentle reflection

This is where the body settles and integrates, where clarity returns, and where you are reminded that you are held.

Who This Is For

For the woman who feels full inside

For the woman who has swallowed words and tears for years

For the woman who is ready to feel again

For the woman who wants to reclaim her voice, her body and her truth

For the woman who knows something inside her is asking to move
