Join a Virtual Workshop

Breathwork is a powerful active meditation using a multi-part breath. I place it within and alongside traditions of ancient breath practices like Pranayama and newer practices like Holotropic. It's so helpful for connecting to your body (because we all know how hard that can be but how powerful when we can or do), moving stuck energy, opening your heart and connecting to your intuition and embodied wisdom and memory. It is an incredible tool for moving through embodied traumatic experience, anxiety, depression, blocked emotional energy and so much more. It's for you* even if you have panic attacks, even if you have asthma, even if you experience chronic pain. (And maybe most especially.) There’s a good chance you'll feel a sense of clarity, focus, creativity, some calm, connection to your inner wisdom and more. How very needed that is in this moment in time and in all times.

Yes! Breathwork powerfully travels through screens because this practice is rooted in your body, with my guidance and support. I’ve done a lot of virtual work myself and have worked with clients all over the world. It’s very impactful, so very needed for this time of nervous system overload and overwhelm.

Part of why I love breathwork so much is that it reminds us we all, each of us, hold the power within ourselves to shift and heal parts of ourselves and our past experiences even when the world is a mess. It's the little shifts that I'm hoping can ease the pain and grief we carry around. These shifts are literally rooted in our own breath coupled with the radical witnessing and presence of another person. It is for sure breathWORK but in a non-capitalist sense because you get all the benefits turned right back to you and you can take the tool with you to work with at any point. At its core, it's you and the breath; the breath is the medicine. It is a psychedelic and transcendent experience.

First time?

If this is your first time doing breathwork, here’s a sense of what it will look like. Using the video group platform Zoom, we will come together virtually. As we open the group, I will share a bit about the theme of aliveness for the month, share about the practice and teach you the breathing pattern. From there we will do some grounding and begin the breathing pattern together. Much of the workshop will be engaging the active breath and there will be 10 minutes of a resting breath at the end. During the breathing I will share a custom playlist. You will have a little time to do some writing and drawing after as well. Afterwards we will come back together, feel the collective energy generated and there will be a few minutes to connect and talk about aftercare.

To join:

You will need Zoom and a computer or phone with video call capabilities. I suggest making an account and checking it out before the start time, to avoid any issues with joining. There will also be a password sent out in the email the day of.

You will need a comfortable and private space where you won’t be disturbed. The breathing practice will take place laying down. Feel free to join from your bed, a yoga mat or a blanket. You might want to have an altar with incense and candles or have cherished items or pictures near by. You might also want to have a blanket close and have an eye pillow or piece of clothing to cover eyes and block out external distraction. Please set up your space and be ready for the 7pm ET/ 5pm MT start.

The day and night of:

I will send you the group Zoom link by 5pm ET/ 3pm MT the day of. If you are unable to attend live, I will email out the recorded link within 24 hours after.

I will be able to respond to emails up through the evening of the workshop until 4pm MT/ 6pm ET. From there, I will be prepping and grounding before I open the group and will also not be able to answer emails while it is happening. Thank you in advance for understanding and preparing ahead of time.

It is always possible something weird will happen with Zoom, especially when so many people are now using it. If for some reason you have issues connecting or get kicked off during because of internet connection issues, I will be emailing out the recorded link 24 hours after so that you can continue to use it.

If you are feeling generous or have wealth, please do check out my Pay it Forward program that helps sustain my sliding scale healing arts practice. Thank you!!

Thank you in advance for supporting yourselves in this time, supporting our communities, and also supporting my work.

Transformative breath practices can cause strong physical sensations and/or emotional releases. In very rare cases, strong emotional releases have been known to cause amnesia. If having additional support after a group feels important, having a therapist, trusted friend or personal integration practices in place could be helpful. Please feel free to email me with any questions.
