Working with the breath enables you to take better care of yourself and release beliefs and patterns that no longer serve you. Most people leave breathwork sessions feeling clearer, calmer, more content, and relaxed. You&rsquo;ll breathe during a curated playlist which enhances the experience and will help you focus.<br /><br /><strong>"Laura will explain and demonstrate the technique and some of the things you may experience with humor and straightforwardness. After the Active Breathing, she&rsquo;ll take you through a guided Heart Opening that will leave you FILLED with Gratitude and Love."</strong><br /><br />After a few minutes of breathing, you may feel a tingly sensation of energy vibrating through your body, moving the stuck energy in your system. Many people report having profound experiences. Your experience will be unique to you and your path. Breathwork is different for everyone and unique each time you do it. We provide props, but you can bring your mat and anything else you would like to make yourself comfortable such as a blanket, eye pillow, etc.<br /><br />*Due to limited space your sign-up will reserve your space.

In this new light we often experience an inner awareness and are better prepared to move forward with fresh insight and determination.<br /><br />Storytelling is as old as life itself. We&rsquo;ve gathered to hear tales, sometimes funny, sometimes tragic, and always captivating, stories have the ability to engage and motivate us. They awaken<br />our emotions, our right/creative brains, and our ability to problem solve.<br /><br />Guina has been telling stories for two decades. Trained in New Mexico she is skilled in bringing meaningful tales to life. She will share a tale that captivates, pulling listeners into the story to<br />see themselves as the hero/heroine.<br /><br />After the story, there will be time for personal reflection through journaling and image-making with chalk pastels.
