About
Conscious connective breathwork taps into the natural healing capacity of your breath to liberate stuck energy from your body and reset your nervous system to support enhanced harmony and resiliency in your life.
​
After an opening circle and cacao meditation, you are guided in an active "three-part breath" pattern for about 45 minutes, followed by a 15 minute rest period where our nervous system re-calibrates to a new baseline.
The breath pattern aims to direct breath into your abdomen, then chest, followed by a relaxed exhale. It is recommended that breathers lie down though some may choose to sit.
​
This practice intentionally activates the sympathetic nervous system to help you discharge accumulated tension or stress in your body. You may experience the urge to release through movement, sounding or emotions such as laughter or tears. It is all welcome here!
​
We are trauma-informed and committed to providing unconditional presence that may include energetic cleansing or consentual touch.
​
After the breathwork, participants are invited to stay for a closing circle to verbally integrate your journey.
