The Long Exhale: A Restorative Boxing Day

You don't have to recover from Christmas. You only have to come home to yourself.

By Boxing Day, most of us have been giving for days: hosting, cooking, remembering, smiling, holding everyone else together. The body feels it, even when the mind says I'm fine.

So come and breathe out. This afternoon is a cocoon, a candlelit, gently held space to release what has built up and let your nervous system settle.

The afternoon

  • Arrive and land. Herbal tea, blankets and candlelight. Opening words and permission for whatever arises.

  • Gentle somatic movement. Shaking, tapping, spinal waves and supported twists, with long sighing exhales to help the body unwind.

  • Somatic breathwork (one full hour). Guided breathing with somatic cues, where tears, sound and movement are all welcome and your natural breath is always there to return to. It's a space to put down what you've been carrying, and finish with a few quiet lines of reflection.

  • Candlelit sound bath. Deep rest with a bolster under your knees, eye mask and blankets, carried by bowls, gong and chimes.

  • Return and close. A slow reawakening, a simple three-minute reset to take home, and a final cup of tea.

This is for you if

  • you're feeling wrung out, emotional or overstimulated after Christmas

  • you'd love an easy, graceful reason to step away from the gathering

  • you want a quiet, restorative afternoon before the new year

  • you're new to breathwork and want to be well supported

What you'll leave with

  • a body that feels lighter and less tense

  • a calmer, more settled nervous system

  • a simple reset practice for the rest of the holidays

  • space for a quiet evening at home (we finish at 6:30pm)

No experience needed. Mats, blankets, bolsters, eye masks, props and herbal tea provided. Bring your own blanket or pillow for extra comfort. For the most comfortable breathwork, we recommend a light lunch, or leaving around two hours after eating.

📍 KINGDOM, Penshurst. Guests join us from Tonbridge, Sevenoaks, Edenbridge, Hildenborough, Tunbridge Wells and South London.
