Cycle-breaker Circle

If you feel your heart rate spike and your breathing get shallow around family…

If you feel empty as a popped balloon after the holiday gathering…

If you feel an anvil atop your head when you leave the function…

Gather with your fellow cycle-breakers.

You are not alone.

You are not a problem.

You are not "too much."

You are not too sensitive.

Brave soul, your sensitivity to family dysfunction is a blessing to your lineages.

When you speak up about harmful systems near and far, you risk being blamed as the embodiment of the problems you are courageous enough to name.

The risks you take and the prices you pay are holy.

You are an emissary from ancient ancestors long before the written word.

You are generations yet unborn creating the family they deserve to inherit.

If your family members don't have the tools and/or willingness to appreciate your cycle-breaker medicine, come be with us.

Take a breather in a space where you can be your whole soul.

Break free of the scapegoat role and be reflected by fellow cycle-breakers.

Refill your cup with us.

Gather with kindred spirits to practice breathwork, embodiment & energetic shielding.

Come to a circle where you can answer the question "How are you?" honestly.

Release dysfunctional projections & roles through practices of embodied energetics rooted in West African dance, orixá movement, and 氣功 qi gong.

Root in you who are & let us reflect your truth back to you.
