what to expect
opening circle – a collective check-in to ground ourselves, connect with the group’s energy, and set personal intentions for renewal.
guided meditation & breathwork – ease into the experience with a gentle meditation before transitioning to conscious connected breathing (inhaling and exhaling through the mouth), guided by music. optional intuitive touch (with consent) is available to support deeper release.
restorative sound bath – after breathwork, sink into a state of deep relaxation as healing vibrations wash over you, restoring balance and peace.
tickets for this gathering are offered on a sliding scale from $40-60/person.
a gentle reminder: breathwork can bring about strong physical and emotional releases and may not be suitable for those with heart conditions, high blood pressure, severe asthma, recent injuries/surgeries, or pregnancy (please consult your doctor if unsure). sound baths may not be recommended for those with metal implants, pacemakers, insulin pumps, or a history of concussions.
