Out of your head, into creative flow: A somatic breathwork workshop

Step into a powerful journey of self-discovery and transformation.

This immersive workshop will take you through a deep creative experiential exploration of your inner world beyond the conscious mind with creative arts therapy and somatic breathwork practices.

You’ll uncover and release the hidden limitations stored in your mind-body connection - patterns that shape your narratives and artistic voice. As you free yourself from these constraints, you’ll reconnect with your authentic self, embrace your expressive freedom, and step into a more powerful creative flow

Why we need to do this work: 

As artists, a happy, healthy body and mind are vital for a thriving career and a joyous, full life flowing in creative abundance.

Our human experience naturally exposes us to stress and trauma, even if our conscious minds have moved on. These experiences leave imprints in our nervous system, influencing how we think, feel, move, breathe, and express ourselves and ultimately how we show up in our life and our art!

They can manifest as:

✔ Anxiety & stress

✔ Fatigue & burnout

✔ Pain & tension

✔ Digestive & sleep issues

✔ Emotional blocks & creative stagnation

✔ Patterns of self-doubt & fear of expression

When we carry these imprints, we often live with an overstimulated sympathetic nervous system (fight-flight-freeze) as the default for our thoughts, actions, and emotional responses to others and the events in our daily lives.

This keeps us stuck in a cycle of stress, limiting our true creative potential. Living in survival mode, we react from past experiences, which can result in misaligned or inauthentic expressions. The good news is, this blueprint can be rewritten...

What to Expect:

• Creative Arts Therapy Exploration – Identify where you are, where you want to be, and what’s blocking your path.

• Biodynamic Breathwork Introduction – Learn a powerful somatic technique to access and release stored tension and trauma.

• Systematic Nervous System Reset – Work through seven key areas of tension using connected breath, biodynamic movement, bodywork, and vocal release.

• Deep Integration & Reflection –  Deepen your breathwork experience by fully immersing in the present moment, allowing your body to integrate and process what arises. Then, through creative arts reflection, anchor your transformation and connect with your new authentic expression to carry forward.

• Meet your Authentic Creative Expression – Reconnect with your expressive freedom and step into your full creative potential.

Throughout the journey, you will be expertly guided by Laura of The Meraki Way.

Who is Laura and The Meraki Way.

Meraki means to infuse your soul, creativity and love into everything you do.

As a qualified and experienced Dramatherapist and Biodynamic Breathwork Practitioner, Laura creates empowering safe spaces to guide performers, artists and creatives from feeling stressed, anxious, lost, lo, stuck and blocked to a place of connection, clarity, courage, creativity and calm.

Having been an actor for many years, Laura knows firsthand the challenges of the industry and the personal challenges that come with it. So Laura set off on a journey of discovery, eager to find what was holding her back. She travelled the world exploring healing modalities and found the answer she was looking for: she was in her own way.

She gained a Master’s in Dramatherapy, became a certified Biodynamic Breathwork practitioner and found her soul’s purpose. She set up The Meraki Way to be in service of the art’s offering the healing journeys she wished she had when on the actor's path, knowing she would have been unstoppable in her fearlessness to aim for success.

She offers this work in person and online, individually and in groups and workshops such as these with Actors, Dancers, Singers Musicians,, Creatives, and anyone seeking creative and artistic freedom.  She is passionate about empowering artists to thrive and describes this work as ‘The Holy Grail’.
