Breathwork for Beirut
When my brother was 4 years old, he came home one day from Montessori school upset. The teacher asked that each child carry a flag representing where they are from. My brother was at a loss. My mother being Lebanese. My father being from Trinidad. And my brother being brought up in America. My mother told him at the time to tell his teacher to give him any flag to carry because he is a child of the world. Because he is a child of the world! I share this story with you because we are ALL Children of the World. And I believe that we can also choose to be Citizen’s of the World. To care about what affects another although we may not know them or understand them because we do know them on a deep human level… Through our small and big actions over days and weeks and years, we can be Citizen’s of the World.
What has happened in Beirut is unimaginable. The loss is severe on all levels. The loss of innocent life is sickening and devastating. And my ties to this beautiful country make me want to do anything possible to help. And I ask you to join me in whatever ways you can. Perhaps you are able to join Breathwork for Beirut and to donate. Maybe you aren’t interested in breathing and would still like to donate. Or maybe you have a gift or skill to share and are able to donate your time & knowledge. Or perhaps there is a completely different avenue that resonates with your heart! Whatever it is, we are all children of this world. And this dark moment has reminded me how much stronger we are together, how what seems like little donations & bits of help add up in huge ways and how we have so much more in common that connects us than we do that separates us.
What: I’ll be holding a live virtual group Breathwork session to raise money for Beirut. This is a pay what you are able to donation with the minimum donation starting at $5. For those who generously donate $100 or more, I will be gifting a private virtual theta session (total value $190).
All proceeds will go to the Lebanese Red Cross, helping with immediate disaster relief.
A recording of the call will be sent to all registrants afterwards for those of you who can’t make it live.
This call time is at 1pm EST (Detroit, MI). Use this link to convert to your time zone.
No previous breathwork experience or equipment necessary. You will need a private & safe space to breathe as well as an internet connection to log onto Zoom. If this is your first time using zoom, give yourself a few extra minutes to get set up before the call. Instructions for how to join the call will be shared with you in the confirmation and reminder emails.
This class is for anyone and everyone, be it that you want to learn the breathing technique, be held in love & witnessed as you breathe or are craving community, compassion and healing. This is a time of coming together, breathing together and healing together. We really are our greatest healers and from what I’ve learned over the years and experienced, as we heal ourselves and do the work, we help those around us to pursue their healing. As we heal, we really do heal others in ways that we cannot imagine.
What is Breathwork?
Breathwork is an active mediation technique that encourages us to release stress, tap into our feelings & move them through the body and unblock stuck energy. Breathwork leaves us feeling more relaxed, lighter and clearer. It’s a fantastic practice for those looking to relax a little more, trust themselves in deeper ways and practice greater self love.
It’s important that you feel comfortable and held during this time. It can be helpful to wear comfortable clothing, lay on a bed or yoga mat, and have a cozy blanket, eye covering and anything else that will help you feel supported. No experience is necessary to join this group.
