Description

Whether you're engaged in a lifetime pursuit of recovery/sobriety or curious to run toward the reality of the moment instead of escape through substances (or habits!), this event will focus on such themes.

Breathwork is a perfect remedy for those of us who are often crippled with negative self-analysis and who seek to control all the things never meant to be controlled. The frustration from such things and the refusal to live in acceptance causes us to cling to substances/bad habits that we think bring relief. This practice helps center you in your body where a lot of the trauma from past drinking/using experiences is trapped and can produce physical expansion and release, which brings its own type of relief.

We often drink/use because we feel 'stuck'. Through this breathwork group, 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.

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 Hispanic Federation, which "seeks to empower and advance the Hispanic community, support Hispanic families, and strengthen Latino institutions through work in the areas of education, health, immigration, civic engagement, economic empowerment, and the environment."

Why 20%? I'm committing to pay forward 20% of every group breathwork event to BBIPOC 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.

(Note: A day or two prior to the event, you'll receive a link for accessing the virtual group.)
