For this event, we are excited to be welcoming Jeff Sorensen from breathARMY who will be your primary guide for this journey. After dropping in to your body through some light movement - Jeff will be guiding us into a powerful breathwork practice followed by a DJ set to get our bodies dancing.
Breathwork is a powerful and expansive tool, yet, we are uniquely able to tailor the journey to meet our specific needs and desires in the moment making it a very safe and empowering experience. Breathwork often unlocks spontaneous creativity and opens new doors of potential, while being a deeply supportive practice to relieve stress and bring relaxation to our body and nervous system.
As the breathwork portion of this event concludes, we will transition into an ecstatic dance set which will allow us to carry the high vibrations and expansiveness into the rest of our day and weekend.
As we bring the event to a close, we invite you to enjoy the community and connect with others as you browse some of the wonderful vendors that will be present at this event.
Beyond wellness… beyond personal growth, this event is about connecting with a community of like-minded individuals and sharing in our collective journey as one human family. Our team of facilitators are excited to welcome, guide you and join you in this powerful journey!
