This month we'll be at a new location Do Not Start! Park behind the venue and enter in back, or park on Hall and enter in Godfrey. I will post my phone number before the event so you can contact me with any issues.This month the soundtrack to our practice will be hyper pop! This will be a loud and racy mix of edm, glitch, and hip-hop in a pop shell. Artists included will be COBRAH, Sophie Hunter, Frost Children, Slayyyter, and Fred again plus more! Our intention will be reflecting on reaching the midpoint of the year and what we want the next 6 months to look like. Please join us!
Recommended donation of $20 (completely optional)
RSVP going so you are expected!
What is breathwork?
This is best described as an active meditation process. You are able to reach a deep state through repetitive breathing.
What happens at the breathwork circle?
We will begin with introductions, discussing intentions, and doing some tarot readings. Then, we will do a few practices to prepare ourselves to relax into the active breathing, followed by 30 mins of active breathing laying on the floor, returning to normal breath, and a brief integration session where anyone can share about their experience. We will have fairly loud music on for an hour to help immerse us into the practice.
There are a few contraindications for this practice, they include: severe asthma, severe heart disease, mental illness, epilepsy/history of seizures, acute physical injuries, severe diabetes. Please reach out if you have any concerns or questions.

Aftercare
After you complete your practice, it is recommended to follow some aftercare. Plan to take it easy for a while, resting for the evening if the practice happens at night. Eat some nutritious food to break your fast from before practice. This is a good time for things like epsom baths and being intimate with a partner.
