I listened to a podcast recently (We Can Do Hard Things!) where Susan Cain talked about being melancholy and how society isn’t orientated for folks who feel sad. I’m paraphrasing here, but the idea being that we need to reclaim the wisdom in sadness. Rather than feeling that something is wrong with us because we don’t feel happy, we have an opportunity to explore the connection and bittersweet-ness we feel because we care.
And I was reminded why I host breathwork. To offer a space for you to come and allow yourself to feel all the things we feel as human beings living in this wild, chaotic, heartbreaking, beautiful life. Sometimes we tap into joy when we gather to breathe and that’s such a gift. Some days it’s our rage that we need to feel. Maybe it’s peaceful rest. Perhaps it’s feeling into our deeply tired and burnout. Often we allow the sad to bubble up. This is why I love breathwork. There’s space for ALL OF IT. I’d love to have you join us in whatever way you need to show up for you this month.
*Everyone will receive the recording for your personal practice, whether you attend live or not.

What is Breathwork?
Breathwork is a self-healing modality that uses the breath as a catalyst for releasing, processing, expansion, and transformation. The rhythmic pattern of the pranayama breath with two inhales and one exhale becomes an active meditation, giving our beautiful and busy minds something to focus on so we may sink into our intuitive, feeling, and expressive bodies. In this group circle, you will be surrounded in a supportive nest by other brave breathers. As your space holder and guide, I will gently lead you into the breath and into the deepest parts of yourself using affirmations, essential oils, energy healing, and a sound track of music made special for our evening together.
With breathwork, you can…
…work through heavy emotions like grief, sadness, anger, frustration
…flood your body with light emotions like joy, pleasure, and self-love
…move and open the energy in your body to create a natural high
…increase the oxygen and raise your vibration to alkalize your body and promote healing of illness or pain
…become grounded and centered into your core for clarity and creative inspiration
…connect with community and Spirit to heal yourself and the world
WHAT TO BRING: you’ll be lying down to breathe, so set up your space with blankets, a yoga mat, and dress warm… whatever makes you feel like you'll be held in your own personal nest. If you have essential oils, you can pull some scents out. If you like to light candles, have an eye pillow, or hold stones while you breathe, gathering these ahead of time would be perfect.
WHERE WE'LL BE: we’ll be meeting via Zoom, so you’ll be in the comfort of your own space. Find a quiet place where you can lay down for the breathwork. We’ll start with a guided grounding meditation and a short share, so feel free to start in a seated position for that.
