Free event - Chaos to Calm: Breathwork & Nervous System Regulation

Chaos to Calm: Breathwork & Nervous System Regulation is a free, gentle session during the Belfast Fleadh.

Voicing the Void is offering a free Mindfulness and Meditation session during the Fleadh. The Fleadh is a time for celebrating, connecting and experiencing the very best Belfast has to offer. However, we also recognise that busy spaces, loud music and large crowds can feel overwhelming for some people. We wanted to create a calm, welcoming space where people can step away from the excitement, take a moment to reset, and learn practical techniques to support their wellbeing

The evening will begin at 6.00 pm with a short introduction to Voicing the Void, our mission, and the restorative storytelling work we do to empower people whose voices are often unheard. This will include a chance to learn more about how storytelling, community connection and wellbeing can support recovery and resilience.

At 6.30 pm, we'll begin Chaos to Calm: Breathwork & Nervous System Regulation lead by Swapnali, a gentle, practical session designed to help you understand your nervous system and discover simple tools to feel more grounded in everyday life.

In a world that often feels overwhelming, learning how to regulate your nervous system can make a meaningful difference to how you respond to stress, anxiety and uncertainty.

During the session, you'll explore:

How the nervous system responds to stress and overwhelm. Simple, science-informed breathing techniques to support nervous system regulation. Practical tools you can use every day to build resilience and emotional balance. Quick grounding techniques to help during moments of anxiety or panic. No previous experience is needed—just come as you are. Whether you're looking to reduce stress, reconnect with yourself or simply enjoy a moment of calm during the Fleadh, you'll leave with practical skills you can continue using long after the event.

🎁 Bonus Giveaway: Everyone who attends will be entered into a draw to win a FREE 1:1 Breathwork & Nervous System Regulation Session, with personalised practices tailored to your needs.
