About this Event

Shamanic Breathwork: Surfacing Joy

It is time to experience more joy!

It resides within you.

You have to go within to find it.

On the way there, you may have to first visit joy’s siblings: grief, sadness, anger, and broken-heartedness.

Our experinces are that it is worth it!

Shamanic Breathwork is a method of journeying to the core of who we really are. We call this a "workshop" because we will do deep work. The invitation is to be open to transformation and healing.


Join us for a Shamanic Breathwork ceremony to open joy.


Through the breath and chakra-attuned music, you'll journey deep within yourself to find and move through what has been holding back joy. This form of breathwork, when done in a safe and protective container, takes you into an altered state where you can access your inner guidance and your innate healing mechanisms. We will share intentions, teach the breathing technique, "breathe until we are surprised", and integrate our journeys through sharing our journeys and art.


The event will include:

  • Gathering in a circle with others who want to do their inner work. The group size is typically 8-15 people breathing. A maximum of fifteen seats will be available for this workshop.
  • Guidance and support from trained shamanic practitioners, Diamondheart (Jay Hoeffer) and Grounding Rock (Brian Thoman)
  • Grounding, group agreements, and container building to create a safe space for sharing.
  • Breathwork instruction and practice.
  • Laying down and moving on a mat for about one hour during the breathwork while specially selected music plays and facilitators coach, encourage and, if permission is given, use bodywork to expand your experience
  • Creating art to express your breathwork journey
  • Sharing your experience with the group, and when permission is given, receive reflection, questions, and suggestions
  • Closing the circle with tips for aftercare and resources for continued support

While every breathwork is different, past participant experiences have included:

  • states of bliss, joy and oneness
  • release of repressed, stuck, or unfelt emotions
  • moving through fear and pain
  • expansion of the heart and capacity for love and joy
  • forgiveness of self and others
  • movement of stuck energy
  • Cutting of cords/attachments
  • inner child healing
  • release and healing of ancestral or generational trauma
  • Locating and reintegrating parts of the self that are lost or inaccessible
  • connecting with spirit guides and their guidance
  • rediscovering your mission, passions and direction in life
  • letting go of what is holding you back from who you really are
  • relaxation and stress reduction
  • Shifting from feeling alien to feeling at home (in the body and on the planet)
  • tending to your inner garden, exploring your inner landscape
