Everything we are, is the result of practice.

We practice not receiving love, because we fear abandonment. We mask, because it wasn’t safe to practice being ourselves. We practice denial, because we fear the ways the truth might force us to practice change. We practice pretending we know things we don’t, we’re okay when we’re not; we practice “being an adult”, a “professional”, “having it all together”—whatever that means.

Many of us, for many years, have been practicing un-feeling.

We are well-practiced at resisting, fighting against or repressing emotions—often subconsciously. When tears come, we practice holding our breath — squeezing them back. When a feeling emerges, we may have learned how to rush into self-soothing. Often, we never truly learned how to safely feel with others. The practice we do have feeling, may have been alone. Like all practices, repression is a practice that has served us somehow; it’s kept us safe.

However, the result of unfeeling in the longterm is disconnection with Self, lives that don’t resemble our true wishes, struggles with mood, sleep, relationships, and wellbeing.

I believe that every individual has a dynamic and layered emotional “underneath”.

Breathwork can help us get there—it’s a somatic tool for accessing what is otherwise unreachable by the conscious mind. Breathwork in community is the embodied practice of learning how to feel with others, to be held in our experience, to unmask, share, and deeply listen.

This group is for humans dealing with anxiety, heartbreak, grief, inner child wounds. It is for individuals working on building self-trust, developing courage, and doing the work of emotional clearing. It is for anyone seeking an accessible way to engage with their own internal landscape.

Bring your curiosity, your humility and your open-heart. Beginners are welcome.

The group will be kept intimate to foster kinship, connection and community.
