Rest & Release — An Autumn Breathwork, Sound & Cacao Ceremony

Roks Therapy is hosting Rest & Release — An Autumn Breathwork, Sound & Cacao Ceremony at ShredFast Liverpool on Friday 30 October, from 7:30pm to 9:00pm. It's a ninety-minute session that brings together ceremonial cacao, guided breathwork, and sound, all framed around the changing of the year.

The way it's set up is worth noting before you book: this isn't a trauma-release or cathartic experience, and it's not about digging up anything you've buried. Roks Therapy describes it as permission to slow down and simply 'be' with the season, rather than a session for finding yourself. The idea is to do nothing for once.

Once you're there, you settle into a hammock or stretch out on the floor and sip ceremonial cacao. From there, a guided breathwork and sound journey takes over, with space afterwards to sit quietly and journal. Blankets and hammocks are provided on-site, so you don't need to bring your own. You're encouraged to wear comfy clothing and bring a notebook and pen if you'd like to write during that quiet time at the end.

There are a few practical things to keep in mind. The ceremony is for ages 16 and over. It's not suitable for everyone: if you're pregnant, have a heart condition or epilepsy, or are on certain medications, you should contact the organisers before booking. Tickets run from £20 to £32, and the whole thing takes place at Shredfast HQ on Great Crosshall Street, L3 2AP.
