Winter Nest: A day of Embodied Connection @ UHU
Imagine a full day playshop where you can drop deeply into embodied awareness, show up authentically with other heart-centred humans, and get straight to the core of what truly matters, through words, movement & touch?
As the days grow darker and the air turns icy, you are warmly invited into UHU’s Winter Nest for the day. Soften, breathe, and melt into heartsapce with a bunch of cosy humans who are all here for the same thing: nourishing open-hearted connection.
What the day will bring:
🌬️ Pranayama Breathwork to settle your nervous system and arrive fully to your body.
💬 Authentic Relating to get curious, honest and present with each other, using radical honesty and active listening to really meet people beyond the chit-chat.
💃 Contact Improv to play with weight, momentum and spontaneous movement to co-create a surrendered flow state.
🤲 Conscious Touch & Cuddle Puddle to practise asking for what you want, setting boundaries, and giving and receiving nurturing, consensual touch.
🍲 Potluck feast at lunchtime, sharing delicious, wholesome food and stories together.
What you’ll take home:
✨ A calmer, more regulated nervous system.
✨ Practical tools for connecting with embodied presence, curiosity and empathy.
✨ Confidence in sensing and voicing your needs and boundaries.
✨ A warm sense of belonging, to fill your cup for the darkest part of the year.
Who it’s for:
Anyone curious, open-hearted and ready to feel their emotions, whatever surfaces throughout the day. Whether you’re a seasoned workshop-goer or it’s your first time, you’re welcome here. You’re also welcome if you’ve been feeling tired, blocked, anxious or disconnected and need to reconnect to your centre in a safe and supportive environment. No contact improv, authentic relating or breathwork experience required.
Safety & consent:
Consent is woven through the whole day. You choose your level of participation - you’ll be reminded to listen to your body and stay within your own limits. We’ll explore the difference between your “stretch” and “stress” zones, and a support team will be on hand if you need to co-regulate.
