Essence Breathwork: Healing the Relationship with Your Family

Embark on an inner journey of discovery by harnessing the transformative power of breathwork to unlock deeper levels of consciousness. This immersive experience is designed to help you release tension, align your nervous system, and restore emotional balance while reconnecting with your true self.

Through synchronized breathing techniques, you will activate your body's natural healing abilities, letting go of past burdens and suppressed emotions. This process allows for deep emotional release, energetic shifts, and a sense of profound liberation.

Our ESSENCE system integrates breathwork, sound, and movement to dissolve stagnant energy, facilitating inner expansion and empowerment. Guided by experienced facilitators, you will receive energetic support to enhance your transformation and bring harmony to your body, mind, and spirit.

This is a powerful 3-hour journey designed to help you heal patterns, emotions and ancestral memories held in your family lineage, both maternal and paternal.

Through conscious connected breathwork, guided inner-family constellations, emotional release, and symbolic integration practices, you will reconnect with the strength of your roots, release what doesn’t belong to you, and open space for peace, clarity and inner freedom.

This session is gentle but deep. You do not need previous experience.

All in a safe and sacred space guided by David Palacios (Essence Scotland).

🕊️ For a deeper journey, participants will also be invited to join two optional online sessions: one before the workshop to prepare the inner process, and one after to integrate the experience.

• Preparation Session: Thursday18 December, 19:00–20:00
• Integration Session: Tuesday 23 December, 19:00–20:00

These sessions are included in the workshop price and provide additional guidance, reflection, and emotional support to anchor your healing experience.

We will explore:

• a simple reflection on your maternal and paternal lineages

TESTIMONIES

Adolfo, dealing with sleep apnea and struggling to sleep, shared the following:

"Hi David. In yesterday's session, at first, I experienced a lot of anxiety (I felt like running away), I endured, and it was worth it. At first, I felt a great vibration that enveloped my entire body except my legs. Then, a deep crying enveloped me completely, and I felt great compassion for myself. Then, a great calm and peace arrived. It felt like I had been in a similar state a long time ago, not in the physical world. I felt a great love, peace, and serenity; words are not enough. I feel like I've shed a part of a burden I've been carrying.

Today, my sleep was okay, much better than months ago. Truly, there's something significant behind the breath.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart".

John shared these words:

"In today's world, where it's so hard to pause and we hardly dedicate time to ourselves, this workshop always helps me connect with myself and achieve that tranquility I always seek. Thank you very much, you've done it amazingly."

Vero mentioned the following: "After three sessions of conscious breathing in the workshops, I've learned that humans don't need to disconnect; we are already disconnected. Disconnected from ourselves, our essence, our intuition. Each time I come to breathe, I get a little closer to myself."

Mayte connected with her ancestors: "This workshop has helped me free myself, center myself, get to know myself, and connect with myself and the LOVE of my ancestors. I felt their presence and love, accompanying and supporting me. It's the first time in my life that I feel so calm and filled with love. PEACE and LOVE sum up this workshop for me. Thank you for being there with me."

Valerie was so nervous that she thought she would stop breathing, but this is what happened: "From the workshop, I take with me the fulfillment of my desire for peace. I arrived nervous, and after the workshop, I felt and continue to feel PEACE."

Mery left us all speechless, especially because she came with some resistance, and this is what she shared: "I came without expectations, and I'm leaving with a life purpose." Just a few days later, she sent me a video telling me about the changes she was experiencing. On the same Sunday after the workshop, she resumed a hobby that she had put aside for years.
