Description
Do these US Presidential debates stir up all kinds of stuff for you? There will be righteous anger, for sure, and often we don't know what to do with it. There will be worry that our core beliefs aren't shared by others and may not win out in a few weeks when the election takes place. There will be confusion as talking points and off-the-cuff debate remarks come in at a low, low, low vibration (to be kind).
Eh, I, for one, don't need to bring in that energy live. I can choose to digest what happened during the debate when the time's right for me and when I'm feeling grounded. Want some help getting grounded? Want to engage in a spiritual practice that fosters community, and helps us see things as they really are in the present moment (and not what we conjure them to be as scary, oversized scenarios)? Want to chase something other than division and strife and rage? Let's do it together! (And hey, if you wanna watch the debate afterwards, go for it.)

Tickets and Resulting Donation
Tickets are sliding scale, and 20% of the proceeds from this breathwork group goes to First Nations Covid-19 Emergency Response Fund, “designed to distribute funds efficiently and swiftly to Native nonprofit organizations and tribal programs that need it most. Initially, funds are being prioritized in high-concentration areas – California, New Mexico, the Pacific Northwest, New York, Navajo Nation, Hopi Tribe and COVID-19 hotspots."
Why 20%? I'm committing to pay forward 20% of every group breathwork event from now through the end of the year to BBIPOC causes. Full transparency of the paid donation will be provided via Instagram after each event.
What's breathwork?
It's a three-part breath with two inhales and one exhale, repeated rhythmically. You perform it lying down, and it's a much more active form of meditation.
What's it look like to do breathwork at a virtual event like this?
Be sure to create a calming space for yourself: wear comfortable clothing, prepare a supportive surface to lie down on, and have a blanket and pillow ready.
Even though you may be solo for this session, you're still energetically part of the virtual group, and because of that, the open, loving community helps provide support and encourage fearlessness on your part.
We'll start the session by chatting and grounding a bit.
Then you'll lie down and place your laptop/phone so that you're visible from the waist up.
I'll lead you through the active part of the breathwork where you'll do that three-part breath for an extended period of time. I'll help guide you and try to hold things steady for anything that may come up.
After that, you'll get to enjoy a still, quiet, restful meditation.
What's the result?
Like everything, it's best to show up and just be in the process and leave the results to the universe. That said, as you get further into the breathwork session, your mind gives way to your body. You often feel physical sensations that are of a higher vibration. That moves energy internally so that you can let go of the mental chatter way more easily than just walking around thinking.
And it's that bit of open space that brings a feeling of lightness, a feeling of connection, and often clarity about things you're seeking.
