About this Event
Join us for a special Día de los Muertos edition of Magic Breathwork — a ceremonial journey to honor those who have come before us. Together, we’ll create space for grief, release, and renewal — a time to let go of what no longer serves, honor our ancestors and loved ones, and commune with the wisdom of the past.
*** Upon registration you will receive an email with event details and information on your optional magic dosing practice. ***
1. SUMMARY
Experience deep transformation in a supportive, welcoming group. Inspired by Stan Grof’s Holotropic Breathwork, this journey blends guided breathwork, sacred tools, and collective intention-setting to open space for healing, connection, and growth.
No prior experience needed—just bring yourself and an open heart. Together, we’ll explore the power of breath to release stress, expand consciousness, and heal personal and collective wounds.
