About this Event
Colonial & capitalist structures have normalized a shallow breath, moving from one thing to the next. Our shallow breathing keeps us from integrating grief and loss–whether this be from cultural grief, intergenerational trauma, or grief & trauma from the last three years. In this breathwork offering, we show up in community to hold space for ourselves and each other to move more deeply into our connection with our breath and embodiment.
Please bring: water, yoga mat/blanket, journals, eye pillow or scarf
Outline:
