PRIDE & PRESENCE - A Queer Breath Journey (EN)

Sobre este evento

🌈 Do you feel ready to show up fully in your body, your pride, and your presence?
Want to release tension and breathe more freely?

You are warmly invited to Pride & Presence – A Queer Breath Journey, a safe and affirming space for LGBTQIA+ folks to land, reconnect, and explore themselves without holding back.

A space where your body, your story, and your experience are fully welcome — no explanations needed, no adjustments required.

Through conscious breath, we return to what’s already there: sensation, feeling, aliveness. Your breath becomes a key — unlocking relaxation, clarity, vitality, and connection with yourself.


💬 WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

Lauren: “More than a regular breath session — body, mind, and emotions open. Dennis guides with warmth and presence. Highly recommended! ❤️”

Steven: “Finally giving space to emotions stored in my body. Dennis’ guidance was warm, clear, and skilled. I recommend this to anyone wanting to connect with their body.”

✨ THE JOURNEY TOGETHER
We use Conscious Connected Breathing, a transformative way of returning to your body. Layer by layer, tension, emotions, and protective patterns soften — sometimes subtly, sometimes more deeply.

In this queer-informed space, we recognize the body can hold more than daily stress. Patterns of adaptation, holding, or protection may have accumulated over time — and your breath meets you exactly there.

As your breathing opens, space arises — for softness, clarity, presence, and a sense of being at home in yourself. Afterward, you may feel lighter, more grounded, and more connected to your inner truth.

✨ THE PROGRAM
– Doors open — arrive gently, sip tea, land in the space
– Welcome & grounding — gentle practices to settle body and mind
– Setting intention — creating a safe, inclusive container together
– The Breath Journey — a guided session of conscious connected breathing
– Closing — tea, fruit, and optional sharing to integrate the experience

✨ THE POWER OF BREATHING TOGETHER
Breathing in a queer space can feel different. There is a unique energy in being surrounded by people who understand — without words — which allows your body to soften more deeply.
We keep the group small and intimate (max. 10 participants), giving space for each person’s process. I guide you with warmth, clarity, and care — sometimes with supportive touch or acupressure, always consented and attuned to your boundaries.

✨ WHAT THIS BREATH JOURNEY MAY OFFER YOU
– Safety, grounding, and presence in your body
– A freer, more natural breath
– Emotional release and regulation
– Space to soften protective patterns
– A deeper connection with yourself and your body
– More compassion for your experience and expression

✨ READY TO SHOW UP AND BREATHE? RESERVE YOUR SPOT
“Each Breath journey brings me closer to myself. Layers of tension and old patterns soften, my heart feels lighter, clearer, and more open. Dennis guides in such a loving and safe way — thank you. I would recommend this to everyone.” — Cindy

🌈 Come soften, breathe, and arrive fully in yourself. You are so welcome here.

✨ Reserve your spot in this intimate queer circle and experience the transformative power of your own breath. Spaces are limited.

Meet the Facilitator
Dennis is a queer bodyworker and facilitator based in the Netherlands with a deep curiosity for the body, breath, and the human experience. Over the years, his travels through India, Southeast Asia, and South America have shaped his approach, blending Traditional Chinese Medicine, Yoga and Breathwork into a practice that helps people come home to their bodies.

He creates a safe and supportive space where participants can explore, release tension, and reconnect with their inner wisdom. With a warm, attentive presence, Dennis honors each person’s unique journey and guides them toward both vulnerability and empowerment, helping you open, breathe, and truly feel at home in your body.

HEALTH & CONTRAINDICATIONS
Intensive breathwork works deeply on the body and nervous system. It can lead to altered states of consciousness and temporary imbalances, which are often safe and healing, but require a certain level of physical and mental stability. Not everyone can safely handle this intensity at any given time.

Intensive breathwork is therefore not recommended for: pregnancy, epilepsy or a history of seizures, glaucoma or retinal detachment, lung, heart, or vascular diseases (e.g., uncontrolled high blood pressure, aneurysm, angina, previous heart attack or stroke), recent surgery, accident, or injury, severe psychological conditions (current or past, such as psychosis, bipolar disorder, severe PTSD), or use of recreational drugs or medications with strong effects on the nervous system.

If in doubt, or if you have another medical or psychological condition, please contact Dennis beforehand so we can assess what is safe and appropriate for you. This is not intended to exclude anyone but to ensure care and safety.

INCLUSIVITY
This event is a safe, loving, and Rainbow Friendly space for vulnerability, inner heart-work, and healing.
