This month we will be meeting at Fountain Street Church!
This month we will be listening to a mix of Genesis Owusu. More details TBA. Please join us!
Recommended donation of $20 (completely optional)
RSVP going so you are expected!
What is breathwork?
This is best described as an active meditation process. You are able to reach a deep state through repetitive breathing.
What happens at the breathwork circle?
We will begin with introductions, discussing intentions, and doing some tarot readings. Then, we will do a few practices to prepare ourselves to relax into the active breathing, followed by 30 mins of active breathing laying on the floor, returning to normal breath, and a brief integration session where anyone can share about their experience. We will have fairly loud music on for an hour to help immerse us into the practice.
There are a few contraindications for this practice, they include: severe asthma, severe heart disease, mental illness, epilepsy/history of seizures, acute physical injuries, severe diabetes. Please reach out if you have any concerns or questions.
How to prepare
>It is recommended to avoid alcohol and mind altering substances for 24hrs before doing this practice. This is completely optional, but emphasizes the cleansing element of the practice, and it's a good mental health check in.
>have an empty stomach or eat lightly before the practice (food in your stomach can cause discomfort during the practice)
>wear loose fitting, comfortable clothes and undergarments (sweat pants, yoga pants)
What to bring
>blindfold / eye pillow (available for purchase $10)
>water bottle
>yoga mat
>a pillow, blanket if you have something in particular, other wise there are pillows, blankets, and bolsters available at the studio.
>any oils, crystals, items that speak to your spiritual path
Aftercare
After you complete your practice, it is recommended to follow some aftercare. Plan to take it easy for a while, resting for the evening if the practice happens at night. Eat some nutritious food to break your fast from before practice. This is a good time for things like epsom baths and being intimate with a partner.
