Where your face holds the day
Your jaw, your eyes and your forehead each store a different kind of effort. A map of what the face is carrying, and why it doesn't let go on its own.
← All experiencesFor Women
The Face You Wear All Day
An evening to notice what your jaw, eyes and forehead have been holding — and what changes when they let go.
Why this experience
Your face has been working all day. It rarely gets asked to stop.
The jaw that never fully lets go. The eyes that stay watchful. The forehead that keeps working after the task is over. This evening is an opportunity to notice those patterns and explore what becomes available when effort softens.
You will be guided through facial self-practice, breath and simple reflection, with time to speak and time to stay quiet. Nothing is performed and nothing is corrected.
What you may leave with
- 01A clearer sense of where you hold effort
- 02Two practices short enough to use on a weekday
- 03An experience of your own face without an audience
- 04Conversation with women who arrived for the same reason
Designed to help, not guaranteed to fix. You may notice more than you expect.

FAQ
Before you book.
Do I need any experience with body-based practice?
No. Everything is guided, and every practice is optional. People arrive with no background in this work more often than not.
Will I have to speak in front of the group?
Only if you want to. There is facilitated conversation near the end, and staying quiet through it is a normal choice.
Is there anything on my face during the practice?
No products are applied. The practice is your own hands, your own face. Come with a clean face if that is easy for you.
What if I need to leave early?
Leave whenever you need to. Sit near the door if that makes it easier and nobody will read anything into it.
Cancellation policy: full refund up to seven days before the event, transfer to a future experience up to 48 hours before. After that the place is held for you but not refundable.
