About SOMATIC BREATHWORK™️
Breathwork is the practice of regulating the nervous system through controlled breathing patterns. We have the ability to heal and process trauma through our breath.

Often we may perceive everyday life stress as if we are being chased by a bear- chances are, the bear is not really present but how can we recognize it’s safe?

Optimizing the power of self-regulation through controlled breathing techniques is a game changer. Something we all can experience and allow it to change the way we express ourselves in any situation.

This breathwork practice will guide you through a journey to connect with your inner knowing. By combining a breath work and grounding posture, allow your full expression of releasing past emotional traumas to come through and release

GODDESS EMBODIMENT: 3 Month Program – Starts June 2023

 

If so, come join us as we explore the nighttime realms of your dreams through the lens of the Tarot. We will gather together in a sacred circle to open ourselves up to our own imaginations and each other’s energy, as well as the loving energy of our soul’s expression via our dreams. Through working in partnership with the Tarot, you will use your own personal experience and intuition to uncover hidden messages in your life.

What you will learn:

• Why we dream and what magic can our nighttime dreams bring into our waking lives
• What our dreams can teach us and how they can help us lead a magical life
• How to work with the Tarot in an intuitive and approachable way
• How to engage your imagination and intuition with a group of people
• How to begin to trust that your dreams are trying to help you
• How to view the world and your dreams with new, magical eyes
• How to begin working with your dreams in a group setting

What to bring:

• A dream journal or regular journal and pen
• Whatever you need to be comfortable for 2 hours seated
• An open mind!

What to expect:
We will do some light movement and deeper meditation so be prepared. Even if you’ve worked extensively with your dreams or the Tarot, this class will be unique and a new way of viewing these, so please come with a clean slate!
We will be working with the cards, but you do not need to bring your own. We will have handouts prepared.
I work with the Rider-Waite deck because of my training in the Jungian perspective on the Tarot, so please have an open mind with regards to the symbols and artwork.

Utilizing a plethora of gemstone crystal bowls, planetary & elemental gongs, chimes, and other instruments, you are in store for a blissful and uplifting journey!  No experience necessary, all paths are welcome!

Benefits of Hammock / Floating Seating:
The sound healing is different when you are in hammock because of the way you experience it. Instead of being on the ground, experiencing the sound healing, you are floating, like you are in space, so its more zero-gravity experience, or like being in a cocoon.

Logistics: Doors open 15 mins before event start time. We will guide you on how to get into your hammock. This takes about 15-20 minutes to get all you beautiful bodies comfortably nestled into your cocoon. Plan for a full 90 minus with a full 75 minute Sound Meditation.

What to Bring: An Open Mind for your Journey, Water. The event usually Sells Out, and I have props for each of you. However, some of us prefer our own snugly items to help settle in, such as Eye Pillow, Blanket, Bolster / Pillow. Optional items to bring:
Floaters: Eye Pillow, Blanket, Bolster, Pillow
Floor Meditators: Optional bProps: Yoga Mat, Eye Pillow, Blanket, Bolster Again, we have props for you but if you have your own, you we welcome you to bring them.
