The Winds of Change: A Healing Breathwork Journey

An evening to experience the wisdom that lives within, through connecting with our breath in a sacred space among others walking the path of healing.

Our breath is always with us. It is a constant companion as we walk through our lives.

Breathing is the only vital process that is performed both consciously and unconsciously. Because of this, our breath is a powerful tool in linking the conscious and unconscious within, allowing us to bring our shadows to the light for healing and to feel into the wholeness of our being.

At this event, we will be using a technique called Conscious Connected Breathing. This style of breathing incorporates a circular rhythm of inhaling and exhaling through the mouth to gently shift our state of being.

Through this breathing technique, a full range of experiences can unfold. We can experience somatic releases through shaking, clenching, crying, sighing, toning, tapping or temperature changes. We can experience emotional releases through the full spectrum of emotions: sadness, grief, shame, anger, laughter, joy and beyond. We can have moments of spiritual or mystical experiences, where we touch the edge of the ineffable.

All of this, through just breathing.

This is a sober experience: no substances or plant medicine are used. The breath is the medicine for this evening.

A curated playlist will guide the flow of the journey, creating a soundscape of rhythm and spaciousness to support the experience.

The journey will consist of the following:

• An opening circle to drop into the space together
• A calling of the directions to open the container
• ~90 minutes of facilitated breathwork (two rounds of Conscious Connected Breathing with breath holds at the end of each round)
• A shared moment of stillness at the end of the journey
• A sharing circle to express any insights or experiences (sharing is optional)
• A thanking of the directions to close the container

Please bring the following:

• An eye mask or covering (optional)
• Any altar items for the community altar
• A cozy blanket or layers for warmth
• A water bottle
• An open heart and open mind

Please avoid eating a heavy meal within two hours of arriving.

If cost feels like a barrier to you, please reach out. It's important to me that this work remains accessible to all who feel called to be present.

If this offering speaks to you, I invite you to join us for this healing breathwork journey.
