The Wild Within: Spiritual Exploration & Connection

Transformational Breathwork (or Conscious Connected Breathwork) is a somatic healing modality where we intentionally work with our breath to enter a deep state of consciousness to access physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing and activation.

Transformational Breathwork works by helping you to bypass the conscious mind and move into the subtle body to access the deeper layers of emotion, while gently supporting the nervous system. It’s a faster way to move stuck energy and tap into a deeply intuitive state while remaining grounded in the body.

Our theme for this session will be Releasing Control and Surrendering to Life's Magic. You'll learn to use your breath as a tool to create safety in your body so you can move through life with both surrender and empowerment, open to receive life's gifts and opportunities you may have never even imagined.

We will begin our breathwork space with an opening circle to set intentions and connect with one another. I will guide us through how the breathwork journey will unfold, what to expect, and how to navigate the experience.

We will make sure that you have everything you need in your space for the journey, then warm up with a few somatic and pranayama practices, exploring what is present in our bodies and creating a connected field of support for our journey to unfold.

We will then enter into our Conscious Connected Breathwork journey and ceremonial space, a physical, emotional, and often spiritual journey working with the breath or prana to enter deep healing states in the body.

For many, the breath utilized in this way can help to release stored emotional energy that has been keeping them blocked and stagnated for years. And for many others, it is a portal to their innate wisdom and medicine within, an activation of their true essence and gifts.

Our journey will conclude with a group integration, with time for journaling and sharing insights and further support for one another.

Together we will co-create a healing afternoon of somatic release, heart-centered clarity and expression, and an embodiment of the vision and intentions you are holding for this sesaon of your life.

This month's Full Moon is a Blue Moon - the second full moon in a month. Come join us for a connective and creative evening of community spirit and inner journeying in ceremony with Cacao, Connective Practices, and somatic healing through Transformational Breathwork - to anchor your intentions for this energetically potent time.

The time of the Full Moon is an energy peak, like the crest of a cosmic energy wave that's been building throughout the lunar month. It is a time of recharging and letting go of what is no longer serving us, ready to start fresh and clear with a powerful vision and intention for our lives. 🌕 🌕

☕️ Cacao is a medicine of the heart who shows us how to open more deeply to our authentic selves. We will work with the cacao through intention-setting, partner and group connection, and guided meditation, and then explore some guided pranayama practices to release physical and energetic blockages in preparation for our transformational breathwork journey.

🌬️ Transformational Breathwork helps us to deepen our inner connection, improve our physical vitality, elevate mental and emotional clarity, and awaken our spiritual connection. It works by helping you to bypass the conscious mind and move into the subtle body to access the deeper layers of emotion, while gently supporting the nervous system.

A breathwork journey is a highly effective way to move stuck energy and tap into a deeply intuitive state while remaining grounded in the body!

We will open our space by welcoming the spirit of Cacao and our helping plants for this ceremony, working with sound, guided visualization and embodiment practices to open our hearts to her medicine .

We will gently explore guided connective practices to support opening of the heart and dropping in deeper with our community.

You may feel inspired to move, breathe, and express creatively during this time as the medicine of Cacao works her magic!

The second half of our ceremony will bring in the medicine of Breath through a Transformational Breathwork Journey. During our breathwork journey, you will lay down on your mat and be gently guided into a rhythmic breathing pattern supported by the music and my voice helping you to travel deeply into your body, allowing the breath to create space for release and renewal.

For many, the breath utilized in this way can help to release stored emotional energy that has been keeping them blocked and stagnated for years. And for many others, it is a portal to their innate wisdom and medicine within, an activation of their true essence and gifts.

Our journey will conclude with a group integration, with time for journaling, creative expression, and sharing insights and further support for one another.

Together we will co-create a connective and insightful experience of somatic release, heart-centered expression, and tending and nourishing your intentions for this next moon cycle.
