About this Event
BREATHE DEEPER: Experiential Breathwork Journey
What if your breath could take you somewhere your thinking mind cannot?
This immersive experience invites you to explore expanded states of consciousness through conscious connected breathing, evocative music, and creative expression—creating space for self-discovery, emotional processing, and a deeper connection with yourself. Rooted in the work and clinical research of Stanislav Grof, creator of Holotropic Breathwork© this carefully held experience offers a supportive space to explore whatever is ready to emerge. Your experience can be a meaningful complement for those exploring grief, stress, life transitions, or longstanding emotional patterns in a safe, supported environment.
No experience needed—just bring an open mind. Let's relax, breathe, and journey together!
Includes:
- 2 Breathwork Sessions — experience both the Breather & Sitter roles
- Community Lunch — nourishment and connection
- Expressive Art Therapy — give form to your experience
- Opening & Integration — prepare, process & reflect
- Intentionally Held Space — experienced facilitators throughout
*Please bring your water bottle, lunch, eye mask, comfy clothes, and a willingness to surrender to the process.
