online breathwork - release & rise
September brought some dense and intense energies, inviting us to sit with the uncomfortable and face what is is ready to be shed, to let go of control, shift perspectives and trust, so that we can start creating the new chapter in our lives in an evolved way. Let’s breathe into more clarity, ease, and guidance into what all this means for us. Quiet the mind and connect with the wisdom of your body and the guidance that comes when we are ready to listen.

Cacao, Inner Inquiry & Breathwork Circle: Birth - Death - Rebirth
“Death is a reminder to live fully” Ram Dass
What is your relationship with death? Do you accept death as part of the life cycle or do you fear it?
Death of the physical body is the only certain thing in life, it is part of our existence. Change is the only constant. Everything in our life has a beginning and an end. Every breath is a reminder of this cycle: Inhale - birth, exhale - death. However, every ending leads to a new beginning. Are you allowing yourself to live fully and immerse in the cycle of life, to grow and flow, to let some things/situations/relationships/beliefs/attachments that no longer serve you die, so that something new more vital, joyful, fulfilling is born? So that when the time of the last breath comes you can look back and smile. Every breath carries a choice. Choice is freedom.
Join me for a deep exploration of the life cycle through inner inquiry and breathwork. An invitation to let go of fear for what could die in your life and allow loving acceptance, gratitude, surrender and response-ability to live consciously for a greater aliveness. Birth - Death - Rebirth.
When: Sep 29 6:00-8:30pm
