The studios at OXYGENIC occupy their own floor, shaped as a series of calm, light-filled spaces designed for sound, art, meditation and embodied practice.
Natural materials, raw textures and an organic, pared-back aesthetic create a space that feels both grounding and quietly expansive. There’s a warmth to the rooms, somewhere you can arrive, settle, and feel held without effort.
After time spent here, something begins to shift. Not by chance, but through the way the space is held, designed to support your body to settle, your mind to soften, and a feeling of connection and openness.
COLLECTIVE WORKSHOPS IN OUR WHITLEY BAY STUDIO
BINAURAL SOUND BATH MEDITATION
Here, breath slows without effort. Your body begins to settle, and your nervous system follows. Let yourself be gently guided beneath the surface of thinking, into a steadier, more peaceful internal state. There is nothing to achieve. Nothing to perform. Simply arrive at the studio and allow yourself to go beneath the surface.
INSTINCTIVE ART FOR EXPLORING WITHIN
For thousands of years, people have gathered to mark their lives through art. This workshop honours these ancient practices. Held in our beautiful art studio, you will learn how to create a piece of instinctive art that will reveal something meaningful to you. With support and guidance throughout, this experience is open to anyone who feels drawn to deeper ways of accessing insight and awareness.
OUR RESIDENT PRACTITIONERS
CATHERINE BLOFELD ACUPUNCTURE
Catherine works with the body as it actually is, not as a list of symptoms to suppress, but as a living system trying to find its way back to balance.
Her approach is grounded in biology, biophysics, and nervous system regulation. With her own private practice within OXYGENIC, Catherine offers collective workshops and one to one acupuncture sessions which support your body to return to a more natural state of being.
ART AS A THERAPEUTIC EXPERIENCE
Zara has worked with the layers of human emotion, the body, and therapeutic practice for over twenty years.
From her background in psychotherapy and somatic practice, Zara offers a deeper way of meeting yourself, where what has been held, or carried for a long time, can begin to move again.
All sessions take place in her private studio within OXYGENIC and are open to anyone who feels drawn to explore what art, meditation, and a different way of meeting yourself can open up.
A DIFFERENT WAY OF MEETING YOURSELF + OTHERS
ART & MEDITATION
Art has its own meditative state.
When you’re fully in it, attention narrows, time shifts, and the usual mental noise drops away. You’re no longer thinking about what to do next, you’re responding, moving with it, so you can enter a state of flow where what has been hidden can begin to reveal itself.
The summer solstice marks a point of opening. A shift in light, in energy, and in the way we meet ourselves and the world around us. It has long been recognised as a time for stepping into new ways of being.
This workshop will be held on the weekend of the summer solstice and is open to anyone who would like to step into that state and give space to what is ready to emerge.
A SPACE FOR WHAT LIVES BENEATH WORDS
If you’ve been searching for a creative way to explore change, a growing sense of unease or something that won’t quite shift, these one to one private sessions offer a different way of approaching what’s been difficult to move through.
Explore as a one off experience or as an alternative to talking therapy.
OXYGENIC hosts these practices within the upstairs studio space on Whitley Road, Whitley Bay. Each practitioner holds their own work and welcomes enquiries and bookings directly.
