About this Event

New Year's Transformational Breath


Let’s welcome the New Year by exploring the depths of consciousness in this deeply psychedelic (substance free) experience . I’m excited to announce that I’ll be facilitating a Transformational Breathwork session, and I would love for you to join for this powerful experience.

Transformational breathwork can induce an expanded or elevated state of consciousness. In this state, people often access deep emotional material, insight, and profound inner experiences that can be truly meaningful and, at times, life-changing.

Some people report experiences such as resolving deeply held wounds from birth or childhood, accessing symbolic or spiritual imagery, feeling connection with departed loved ones, or gaining profound insight into their life path and personal truth. These are just a few examples of the wide range of experiences people have shared through this work.

It is truly an honor to offer this in a safe, supported, and held environment. That said, there are important safety guidelines to ensure this experience is appropriate for you.


What happens once I walk in?

You will be greeted at the door, asked to sign a liability waiver and get properly checked in. You are then welcome to find one of the available spaces on the floor. Be ready to move your spot in case it's a packed house.

You wiill then be given instructions for how to breathe, and a rundown of different things that might happen during the session. After all questions have been answered, we will begin breathing to a soundtrack designed to guide your experience. Practitioners will be available to help hold you through challenging moments and encourage you to continue to breathe. Smudges (like sage) will be burned.

Afterwards, we will all have light snacks, and have a chance to reflect on our experiences together. Once we have wrapped up our shares I will make sure we all feel grounded enough to safely get home.


This work is NOT suitable for you if:

  • You are under 18 years
  • You are pregnant
  • You have a personal history of any heart condition
  • You are taking antipsychotic Medic*tion
  • You have a history of psychosis
  • You are currently in a mentally unstable or fragile emotional state



This work IS for you if:
  • You experience high levels of stress or anxiety
  • You experience mild to moderate depression
  • You are curious about psychedelic or altered-state work but do not want to use substances
  • You want to explore expanded states of consciousness
  • You are interested in personal healing and personal growth


Space is limited!
I highly recommend reserving your spot in advance to ensure availability.



What Is Transformational Breathwork?


Transformational Breathwork is closely related to Holotropic Breathwork, a therapeutic self-exploration method inspired by Dr. Stanislav Grof, a pioneer in transpersonal psychology. The word holotropic comes from the Greek holos (whole) and trepein (to move toward), meaning “moving toward wholeness.”


This practice is typically done in a group setting and combines:


  • Intentional, rhythmic breathing
  • Evocative music
  • A safe, supportive environment


Through sustained breath patterns, participants may access altered states of consciousness that can support emotional release, insight, and deep inner healing. The breathing shifts oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the body, which naturally facilitates these non-ordinary states of awareness.
