One of the greatest healing devices available to us is also one of the most accessible — the breath! I am trained in a style of breathwork called Be Free Breathwork, which is in the family of holotropic breathwork practices, developed by psychologist Stanislav Grof. Holotropic means “moving toward wholeness.”In this style of breathwork, we use a deep, cyclical breathing pattern to enter an altered state of consciousness. The high oxygen levels produce physiological changes in the brain and nervous system, which allow us to activate our stress response. In this state, we can bring to the surface things we’ve locked away or disassociated from that need our attention. Along with the breath itself, my breathwork journeys utilize a blindfold and specially curated (loud!) playlist to create a container in which you feel safe to explore your internal landscape without the distraction of the external world.
This evening breathwork journey session will begin with a grounding meditation to help the nervous system begin to drop into the experience. Then I invite a check-in, where you can share what’s on your heart and set an intention for the session. I’ll discuss the “how to” of the breathwork journey — how to breathe, what you might experience, and the variety of tools you can use to activate, regulate, deepen, or soften your process.
Then we move into the breathwork portion, which lasts about an hour. When the journey is complete, you’ll have some quiet time to journal or draw to help integrate your experience. We’ll have another check-in, and I’ll give some aftercare instructions and provide information about how to receive additional support if needed.
These breathwork sessions offer a chance for deep inner exploration. You are able to confront and release stress and trauma in a facilitated environment, allowing you to meet and heal parts of yourself that haven’t been nurtured. This practice helps break old patterns by exploring your body, emotions, and triggers in a supported space.
Early Bird pricing of $55 is good through Saturday, November 14. Week-of pricing is $65.
