You have a broad, full, rich, perfect story, and you also have on-the-spot tales to tell. What're you grappling with right now, figuring out, yearning to verbalize even if you don't realize it?
We're all in the middle of constant evolution because throughout this past year, we've been forced to pause and suss out what's working for us and what isn't. Sometimes, the epiphanies come while we're alone, but often, it's when we share our stories with others, and the mere act of vocalizing it, coupled with wisdom in others' reactions, provides clarity.
Through this breathwork group, let's come together in community and share our stories and then breathe into what we learn. Expect some meditative writing to pinpoint part of your story and be ready to use your voice to help yourself and others in the group!
For more info on what this type of breathwork looks like, see below.
Tickets and Resulting Donation
Tickets are sliding scale, and 20% of the proceeds from this breathwork group goes to the Audre Lorde Project, "a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Two Spirit, Trans and Gender Non Conforming People of Color center for community organizing, focusing on the New York City area. Through mobilization, education and capacity-building, we work for community wellness and progressive social and economic justice. Committed to struggling across differences, we seek to responsibly reflect, represent and serve our various communities."
Why 20%? I'm committing to pay forward 20% of every group breathwork event to BBIPOC (Black, Brown, Indigenous, Persons of Color) causes.
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.
