Somagetic 2 Day Workshop in Dubai

Somagetic 2 day workshop is a weekend-long in-depth introduction to external body de-armouring, ecstatic experiences (sometimes experienced as a full body energy orgasm) and shamanic breathwork. It is a powerful and inward exploration designed to support the moving-through of emotions or traumas which have not been fully integrated, experienced or felt. It is a hands-on, experiential weekend aimed at awakening the heart and energy body that (for many) have become desensitized due to our environment, conditionings and state of being.

The workshop will be held in English. In this 2 day workshop we will…

  • Experience two Somagetic Shamanic Breathwork journeys which offer the opportunity to drop into an altered bliss-state similar to that experienced in deep meditation or plant medicine journey.
  • Experience and learn the basics of Somagetic De-armouring which helps release stuck and stagnant energies held in the physical, energetic and emotional bodies.

Experience and learn the basics of a Somagetic Ecstatic Experience, also known as a full body energy orgasm. Leave feeling lighter, freer, more liberated and alive.

Explore what it’s like to trust, allow and surrender in a supportive space. Activate our parasympathetic nervous system and strengthen our vagal tone (vagus nerve) using sound, breath, movement and energy channeling. Practice presence, patience and ’involved detachment’.

Practical Information

DAY 1 & 2 (mornings)

Somagetic 2 Day Workshop in Dubai

Somagetic shamanic breathwork is a sacred breath ritual with roots in both ancient and modern breath practices. It is a dynamic, accelerated, in-and-out of the mouth style of breath which activates the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The sympathetic activation is what helps release stored emotions and energies that are often deeply rooted in our body. These stored energies weaken our vagal tone (vagus nerve), obstruct the energetic flow between chakras as well as inhibit the ability to live heart-centred.

For an example of the breathwork we will experience each morning, please watch this video:

DAY 1 (afternoon)

Somagetic De-armouring

Armour can be described as traumatic or emotional experiences (major or minor), which have not been fully felt, experienced or integrated. Instead, they become stored in our physical, emotional and energetic bodies. This stored armour places a great deal of stress on our nervous system, especially the vagus nerve. It can hinder the flow of our life force or sexual energy, our ability to connect from the heart and can impact how we show up in the world and relate to others. Somagetic de-armouring is the experience of moving through and releasing these somatic and energetic blockages using breath, sound, energy channeling, pressure point touch, shaking and shamanic techniques. For a visual example of de-armouring I recommend watching these 2 videos:

DAY 2 (afternoon)

Somagetic Ecstatic Experiences

Stemming from venerable systems of energy practices such as pranic healing, qigong and reiki, a Somagetic ecstatic experience (which is often described as a full body energy orgasm) is a way to deepen our connection with self, liberate our sexual, creative, life-force energy and reach expanded states of consciousness and bliss. It is a dynamic process that activates our parasympathetic nervous system, strengthens our vagal tone (vagus nerve) and ultimately supports us in reconnecting with our energetic body. A Somagetic ecstatic experience is not a sexual massage. In fact, the experience involves very little touch. It is also important to note that every ecstatic experience is unique to the receiver dependant on one’s level of surrender, state of allowance and their energy sensitivity. For examples of ecstatic experiences, I invite you to watch these videos:

She’s an empath, a heart-warrior, community builder, entrepreneur, dog-mum, and eudaimonia practitioner – which she describes as someone that seeks “a life lived meaningfully well”. Erika has been a spiritual seeker on the spiritual warrior path for most of her life; curious about the human condition, and how to interact and relate more authentically with others, all in the name of creating deeper intimacy.

She’s worked in over 40 countries, and travelled to over 70; she loves to learn from all cultures and peoples.

EnlightenDXB is all about levelling-up together in community, in tribe; particularly here in Dubai, where the healing community is still in its nascency. Erika works with global practitioners of all kinds to bring their work to this dynamic city.
