Experience the magic of your BREATH!

This is an experience designed to help you up-level, clear your subconscious of what's holding you back and help you tap into your intuition.

During this 3 hour ceremony, you'll learn how to do the conscious connected breathwork technique, ways to support and resource yourself throughout, and a full 60 min breathwork journey with space for integration and sharing about your experience at the end, if you want to share. You will leave with more tools to support you in your day to day life and with a profound experience.
