Summer Solstice Celebration with Ceremonial Breath

Summer Solstice Celebration with Ceremonial Breath

Melissa Terese McLaughlin & Guardians with Live Music!

This special breath session will honor and celebrate the Summer Solstice and will include live music from Melissa's upcoming breath album with a community dinner!

Ceremonial Breath is a group breath session created around community healing and the practice of sacred ceremonies and rituals from our ancient lineages. The BREATH is the medicine. It is a unique experience and allows for deep gentle healing of your body, mind, and soul.

Your facilitator of the breath Melissa will begin with a welcome and share setting the intent for the session. You will then be taught the breath practice. Melissa incorporates Shamanic elements including the opening of Sacred Space, the singing of “Icaro” (song of blessing), the burning of Palos Santos, and the Anointing of scared oils allowing for a connection to nature, the spirit world, and universal oneness. At the end of the session, there will be 15-30 minutes of integration where you may share your experience and allow for grounding after the breath session has ended.

No experience with breath practices or meditation is necessary.

All over the age of 12 are welcome.

Please bring a yoga mat, blanket, water bottle, an eye cover, and a journal for inspired writing afterward. It is also advised not to eat two hours before.

The gentle pranayama methods of Ceremonial Breath for the most part are non-invasive. However, the breath practice is not for everyone and you should consult your doctor first if you have a history of serious epileptic seizure, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or major cardiovascular issues. If you recently have had surgery and still have stitches or other medical or physical conditions which would impair your ability to breathe deeply and lay on your back on the floor for an hour then perhaps Ceremonial Breath is not for you.

What to bring:
– please arrive 15 minutes early
– a health conscious dish to share
– wear comfortable clothing
– padded mat or layered blankets to be comfortable lying on the floor
– blankets to cover yourself
– bolster if needed for leg support
– covered drinking container with water
– eye cover
