In this workshop, we’ll use breathwork to clear the mental programs and patterns that keep us stuck, so we can connect to our intuition, creativity, and inner clarity. Intuition—the ability to understand something instinctively without conscious reasoning—is often overshadowed in a society that prioritizes logic and external proof. Yet, science shows that our gut and heart, often called our “second brains,” communicate with the mind through the vagus nerve, shaping our emotional and instinctive responses. By quieting the mental noise, we’ll create space to listen to this inner compass and move forward with more trust and ease
This workshops begins with a guided meditation and sharing exercise to help participants identify what needs to shift/heal in their lives and their intentions for the session. You will then find a comfortable position lying down and be guided through the Breathwork for 35-40 minutes, all set to a cosmic soundtrack, and ending with deep relaxation. To close, we gather together in circle and share our experience, if we feel called to.
Breathwork is an active meditation technique that facilitates emotional release in supportive environment. Through full rhythmic breathing, the conscious mind softens, allowing us to tune into our body wisdom to heal current stress, past wounds, and traumas.
Breathwork has the power to change emotional default settings and lifetime patterns of depression, anxiety and addiction by feeling and clearing with the breath. This innovative therapy aims to connect you to your intuition, creativity and self-worth. Above all, this practice nourishes the heart; helping you to align with feelings of deep appreciation and self-love.
