Meditation, Embodiment, and Practices for Presence
Calm is a way of coming back into contact with yourself.
At House of Armida, Calm brings together practices that support nervous system settling, embodied awareness, and clarity. This is a space to slow down, regulate, and reconnect with your body and attention in a practical, human, and sustainable way.
Calm here is not an ideal state, but a lived experience that can be returned to again and again.
Calm Offerings
Meditation & Embodiment (Groups)
Regular group sessions focused on presence, nervous system settling, and embodied awareness.These sessions combine meditation with gentle attention to the body, supporting a felt sense of steadiness and ease. The approach is slow, accessible, and non-performative, and is suitable whether you are new to meditation or returning to practice. Group sessions are offered in person and you can find them at:
The West End Centre, under Breathing & Meditation
Meditation & Embodiment practice, Meetup Group in the Surrey Border Area
One-to-One Calm Sessions
Individual sessions for grounding, emotional regulation, and restoring a sense of inner steadiness.These one-to-one sessions offer personalised support for your nervous system and embodied presence. Sessions may include meditation, embodied awareness, grounding practices, and relational presence, depending on your needs. This work is paced and responsive, and is especially supportive if you feel overwhelmed, unsettled, or disconnected from your body. Contact me for appointments.
Sound Baths and Voice Sessions
Sound baths and mindful vocal practice to support deep rest, presence, and nervous system settling.
Sound baths are offered as immersive listening experiences using voice and simple sound textures, with a Mediterranean tone that emphasises warmth, resonance, and shared rhythm.
Mindful voice practice uses voice work to connect with breath, sensation, and expression. No singing experience is required. It is also possible to combine both in a session. Corporate packages on request.
Finding Direction - The Calm of the Mediterranean.
The Mediterranean Archetypes are a set of 12 archetypes created to offer clarity, perspective, and direction.
Coming from Mediterranean cultures, landscapes, and values, these archetypes reflect ways of living that are closely linked to calm: a different relationship with time, with the body, with cycles, and with what truly matters. They carry qualities such as patience, continuity, dignity, sensual presence, and respect for natural rhythms.
Working with the archetypes helps you step back from mental noise and emotional overload, offering an external point of reference when things feel tangled or unclear. They are practical tools for reflection, orientation, and decision-making.
There is a clear way of working with the Mediterranean Archetypes, whether for personal reflection or guided exploration. They are designed to support calm through understanding, perspective, and a sense of place within a wider human story.
