LOCATION : Weaving Rainbows.62 Wall Street, Asheville, NC
**Description**
We call this a "coming home to ourselves."
This is an opportunity to fully express emotions such as anger and grief in tandem with other men. A big part of what this practice does is challenge you to remain in your center in the face of discomfort. It is not a challenge against others but with others, against one's own self.
The practice illuminates the emotional, physical, relational, and spiritual that have long awaited release from their containment. Having shared experiences of overcoming challenges & coming closer to oneself in the company of other men solidifies and strengthens the core of Brotherhood like the rings of an oak.
Such as air is one of the four major elements the breath brings us closer to our human nature. In this practice we are expanding our capacity of what we are able to experience, together; so that when we go out into the world a flat tire on a busy day, the heat of an argument, the loss of a loved one; we have the capacity to remain connected to the center of who we are, the vision of the world we want to see, and we respond from that place.
Through this, we arrive in and access altered states.
This practice has been adapted specifically for the gathering of men, to inspire the warrior within us to create and hold a container for the softness within our hearts. We believe the truth of a healthy warrior lies in his ability to deeply feel and experience suffering as well as the beauty in life, therefore being crystal clear on what he stands for and what he protects.
We will arrive together, create a group organism, use poetry as a medium to deepen into ourselves, experience the practice, and have an integration circle following.
To get more out of the breathwork practice it is recommended to not eat at least an hour and a half beforehand. Food is welcome during our integration circle. If you have asthma or specific heart conditions please reach out to Banks before joining. There will be light snacks provided to support grounding after the experience.
Banks is a Co-Founder of New Moon Brotherhood. A single breathwork session lit a fire in Banks to embark on a path to creating healing spaces for men. Banks traveled Asia and the US exploring breathwork and studying with fascination its ability to allow for transformational experiences with far less resistance than other ways of healing.
