Sacred Breath Circles
Breath is the cornerstone of our vital health and a key determinant of our longevity. Conscious connected breath is an intentional practice that nurtures holistic, harmonic well-being. Physically, it reduces stress and tension, recalibrates the nervous system, and enhances relaxation, detoxification and organ health.
By connecting the circuit of breath and increasing the flow of life’s intelligence, we become sensitive to subtle realms. This gentle intentional practice allows us to become more emotionally fluid, releasing pent up energy, warming frozen places and integrating unprocessed feelings of numbness and grief.
The practice involves lying down for 30-60 minutes while engaging in a relaxed, continuous and circular breathing rhythm. The facilitator assists the breather in finding a relaxed and open breath pattern through gentle hands-on facilitation, presence and verbal guidance. Since this is a trauma-informed approach, permission is requested before any hands-on work, and adaptations can be made at any time upon the breather’s request.
This profound tool for self discovery invites us to turn inward and receive guidance from our innate wisdom. With practice, conscious connected breath harmonizes hormonal and chemical processes, creating coherence between the brain and the heart. Slowing down brain wave patterns helps us rewire anxiety, foster mental clarity and maintain higher states of consciousness.
Join us in circle for an evening of community, connection and reverence. Each session blends gentle movement, a wisdom circle, and an intentional conscious connected breath journey supported by a curated musical soundscape, followed by relaxation and integration. Simple yet profound, this practice replenishes us on every level, promotes peace and deepens presence.

Metabolizing Grief
Tending grief is an act of love that warms our hearts. As we learn to metabolize grief, we mobilize what has been bound in body and mind, freeing ourselves to be more fully alive.
Join us for an afternoon of connection and transformation. Open to new possibilities through movement, conscious breath, experiential processes, writing and ritual. Trusting your own journey empowers you; Allowing emotion to flow freely brings a sense of relief and liberation.
We were never meant to tend our grief alone. Although universal, we each experience grief uniquely. When grief comes, and cracks us open, our task may be to accept that part of us will dwell in the Underworld, at least part-time, and to fill this place with as much love and compassion as possible.
This supportive guided experience meets you where you are. Be fortified in community and tap into your courage to feel and breathe and allow grief to move. At this workshop you will find your rhythm, and tend in your way, to clarify the past and deepen into presence.
“If grief can be a doorway to love, then let us all weep for the world we are breaking apart so we can love it back to wholeness again.”
