Description
Feeling old and new traumas from your own experiences with systemic racism?
Feeling financial stress from a Covid-19-related pay reduction, furlough, or a complete job loss?
Afraid about the ways with which you can use your voice and take action as a non-BBIPOC individual?
Terrified because your heart is suggesting that, after all of these quarantined months, your romantic relationship is changing or you're feeling the call to leave your city?
Feeling weighed down by unbelievable loneliness because you've been mostly alone these past few months?
Through this breathwork group, let's take a pause and work through these stressors and any residual shame and guilt that they, and your response to them, are causing. We'll build a safe container where you're held by me and others in the group so that you can create a greater flow of emotional movement. Hopefully, afterwards, you'll be more in touch with what's behind your paralysis and gain clarity about how you can move forward.
Tickets and Resulting Donation
Tickets are sliding scale, and 20% of the proceeds from this breathwork group goes to the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund.
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 grounding and chatting for 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.
