The breath is a gentle yet powerful teacher.
Consider the pattern of your breathing as a metaphor for how we live our lives. Therefore the quality of your breath relates to the quality of your life.
This breathwork practice is a powerful self healing modality and approach to personal empowerment. It will allow you to move energy and initiate a shift into higher consciousness and healing.
We will be using a diaphragmatic breathing “belly breathing” practice. You will be guided into a circular, connected and conscious breathing pattern bringing alignment into your entire being.
With your eyes closed and lying on a mat, you will be transported with the power of your own breath into an altered state of consciousness to discover your inner landscape beyond the limits of your mind
and image of self. This will provide you the
opportunity to experience deep transformation and healing.

EMBODIED ART
Coming this winter
In person
We are all creative. This workshop is designed to help you tap into your creativity.
Creativity isn’t just a mental experience. It’s a whole body, whole energy process that puts us in touch with the deepest parts of ourselves and connects us with aspects beyond our own identity. It can be a wonderful opportunity to drop into your body, release, and expand!
This workshop will combine embodied movement, mindfulness practices, and exploration of the creative process through visual art. You will have the opportunity to explore your own expressive nature within a supportive, non-judgmental space. There is no need to have any art experience whatsoever as our focus will be pure expression rather than aesthetics. All you need is a willingness to show up!
