Afternoon Exhale: Growing Gently

Without us fully knowing it, we can find ourselves holding a lot – stress and tension, self-judgement, others’ expectations, and the pressure to have everything figured out while trying to keep it all together. The weight of it all is exhausting and our bodies know it.

To support us in releasing this weight and lightening our load, is hosting an intimate in-person breathwork experience happening on Sunday, April 19th 3:00-4:30pm at the City of Southfield Parks & Recreation Building focused on extending ourselves more self-compassion and grace.

This calming and restorative experience invites us to meet ourselves in a more kind, loving, and compassionate way. Through a guided breathwork meditation, you will be invited to soften self-judgement, extend yourself grace, and give yourself the same love you often pour into others.

Together, we’ll create a nurturing space to slow down, breathe deeply, listen, and affirm ourselves in ways that are nourishing. This gathering will center on cultivating self-compassion, embodying self-love, and allowing ourselves to grow with gentleness rather than pressure. Just like growth doesn’t have to be rushed to be meaningful, we will remind ourselves we too are allowed to move at a pace of grace.

Sliding Scale Pricing:

To help make this gathering accessible to more members of our community, this event is offered using a community sliding scale. A sliding scale allows participants to choose a ticket price that best reflects their current financial capacity. Slower Pace Embrace utilizes this approach to support with providing equitable access to our services. We invite you to choose the rate that meets you where you are and feels right, doable and accessible to you in this moment.

If you are able to select the Pay It Forward Ticket, your contribution helps make it possible for others in our community to attend who may need additional financial support. Choosing this option is a meaningful way to support the accessibility and sustainability of these gatherings.

If your resources are more limited, you are warmly invited to select one of the lower-priced options. Each ticket offers the same experience, and we’re grateful to welcome you into this shared space of care, reflection and connection.

These gatherings are rooted in the belief that wellness and care should be accessible to everyone. While this event is offered on a community sliding scale, no one will be turned away for lack of funds. If the ticket prices still feel out of reach for you at this time, please feel welcome to reach out. If this applies to you, feel free to reach out to [email protected] and we’ll do our best to support your participation.
