Breathwork & mediumship are two powerful tools that can provide deep release, healing, clarity, insight and shifts within.
During this evening mini retreat we’ll first do a 45-50 minute breathwork session (introduction & instruction provided for beginners), followed by a 60-min group mediumship session. Journaling, reflection time and group discussion will also be included.
Breathwork & Mediumship can help with...
- Insights and understanding of different situations in your life
- Healing of the mind and body
- A deep sense of peace and bliss
- New creative ideas
- Deep connection towards oneself
- Ideas of life direction and next steps
- Release of emotions that might be limiting you and keeping you stuck
- Calming of the nervous system
- Greater awareness of patters of the mind
- Boosting of your mood
- Boosting of self-estemme, confidence and feelings of empowerment
WHAT TO EXPECT
What is breathwork?
Breathwork is a practice of consciously working with your breathing pattern, lying down, to music. The rhythmic breathing in breathwork helps put the mind into different meditative states.
What can this do?
Putting our mind into meditative states allows us to experience our thoughts, emotions, and situations in life in a different way compared to the analytical/thinking mind. It’s also a space for going inwards and connecting with your inner truths and your heart’s needs & desires.
What is a group mediumship session?
Laurie Oakes is a gifted medium who channels messages from the Divine that assist you on your life path. During a group channeling session, Laurie works around the room and each person asks Laurie a question they would like to receive guidance on. These messages provide clarity and direction on different areas in your life, how they may be connected to your past or connected to blocks or limiting beliefs within, and guidance is provided on ways to work through and approach different challenges.
This evening mini retreat is intentional time for participant’s to come back to SELF. Tuning into your truths, your needs and taking time for reflection, relaxation and connection with others <3
We hope to see you there!

About your Guide
Laurie Oakes
Her journey to find answers about spirituality and life outside of the physical body began at a young age. She found herself questioning her soul’s purpose, following her intuition, and receiving messages and “inner knowings” as young as she can remember.
Today, she shares her wisdom through various platforms, including workshops, retreats, and online courses. Her teachings empower individuals to awaken their spiritual potential, find inner peace, and live authentically.
Laurie gently guides her clients into letting go of the trauma and that which no longer serves them and empowers them with channelled guidance on their journey of personal growth and spiritual exploration.
She believes in the inherent divinity within each person and strives to help others discover their own inner truth and connection to their Creator.
