About Our Community Leader Offerings:
This event is being co-organized with one of our Community Leaders. For these collaborative events, we empower community facilitators to take the reins and create their own Flying Sage Event. There is no regular cadence at the moment for these types of events. Sage and Wizard members still get free access so if you are not a member already, consider joining us.
About This Event:
This week, Flying Sage Community Leader and facilitator Gabo will lead you on a breathwork ceremony that aims to create an intimate bond between you and your breath. By weaving storytelling, meditation and breathwork Gabo will create a safe container for you to explore the deep wisdom that your body has within it. Come prepared to relax and drop into new and familiar sensations.
