Men’s Breathwork with Sy

The invitation to be witnessed without pressure to talk gives this gathering a particular character. Sy uses breathing, music and archetypes as ways to explore inner experience together.

Lie down, follow a continuous breathing rhythm and make room for reflection in a men’s gathering at We The Conscious in Hackney Downs. Sy, a breathwork facilitator and strength coach, brings music and Jungian archetypes into the session: familiar inner figures such as the warrior, father, child and king.

This 2½-hour session centres on lying down and practising continuous rhythmic breathing, accompanied by music and spoken guidance. Sy introduces archetypes as patterns through which to reflect on thoughts, feelings and behaviour. There is no pressure to talk or perform.
