Come explore the power of your breath as a pathway for transformation and self-empowerment. Join me, certified Neurodynamic Breathwork facilitator, for an evening of inner exploration through breath and sound.

Breathwork is an active meditation technique that invites you to consciously connect to your breath, allowing deep self exploration and personal transformation through working in expanded states of awareness. It offers the gift of cleansing the mind and body of stagnant energy, old patterns and limited beliefs, while accessing a heightened sense of clarity. 

The space will be open to all that life is bringing for you in that moment, in a safe and supportive container in which you will remain the guide of your own inner journey.

WORKSHOP INCLUDES:

~ Opening circle and introduction to the breathwork principles 

~ The breathwork journey which last 60 minutes and is supported by music 

~ Closing circle for sharing and integration (Authentic Movement and/or journaling)

Few things to note:  

~ Please bring a sleeping mask/blindfold (if you have one) and a journal 

~ Wear comfortable clothes

~ Try not to eat a large meal 2-3 hours beforehand

Celebrate the Spring Equinox and your Essential Divine Nature while bringing together breath, sound, conscious movement, sharing, and meditation at Meditation Mount Sunday, March 19th, 2023, from 1:30 pm – 4:00 pm.

The Spring Equinox is the breath before moving into the next energy, equal day and equal night.  We will ground, center, and connect with the elements through Creative Meditation, breathwork, and a sound bath led by Kelly Jean Anderson and Lyndsay Pennington.  Karen Nitsche will then lead us through the Contact Beyond Contact dance experience.  The day will close with a group circle to share reflections and set intentions for the new season. 

Sound helps our bodies ease into the parasympathetic nervous system allowing us to heal at a cellular level. Let yourself go deep, guided by sound and vibration, connecting to your heart and the heart of Gaia.   

Contact Beyond Contact (CBC) is a dance and healing practice that integrates Authentic Movement (AM), Contact Improvisation (CI), and Passing Through (PT) with healing modalities and energy work. It allows you to genuinely connect within the individual self, with an-other, with the environment as well as with the world beyond the means of physical contact. These practices are well woven together to create a holistic integration of the Body, Mind, Heart, and Spirit in a safe container where each individual can express, trust and transform.

Clear and respectful guidelines will support each individual’s expression and autonomy. With this safety, participants will expand their capacity to move and be moved, develop intimacy with self and others, and have opportunities to reflect on and articulate their experiences. 

The Meditation Mount Gate will open at 1:00 pm, allowing guests to center and connect with the land.

Immerse yourself in a deep dive of learning to truly live with grief. Grief is love. Our goal is to lessen the stigma around fear of grief and death. 

The container is held for the full spectrum of grief. Have you endured the death of a loved one, had a divorce or end of a relationship, experienced a miscarriage, and need support? Are you grieving for the Earth and/or the suffering of humanity? Are you a caretaker and need time to refill your cup because of all you give? Do you feel you are ready to pay attention to the anger, sadness, and guilt that resides within?

 Grieve and Breathe creates a brave healing circle to feel deeply. Releasing stuck emotions and traumas stored in the body. This is an intentional space that gives permission to open up what may have been suppressed and give time and energy to let the grief move through you. You are given the opportunity to cry, scream, express from the heart, be still and be present with your unique grieving process returning to love and forgiveness.

 We will sit in Council to listen from the heart and speak from the heart remembering we are not alone. Followed by a High Vibrational Breathwork session focused on accessing grief and finding peace.
