Breathwork for Beirut Part 2
I am holding a completely donation based breathwork session to raise money to help those in dire need in Beirut, Lebanon with all funds being split between Beit el Baraka and Offre Joie. Many of you may know about what has been taking place there over the course of the past year since the August 4th blast. A year later and the situation has only gotten worse. There isn't access to life saving medication, to basic food like bread, to gasoline, to electricity and all the luxuries that come with electricity like air conditioning during extreme heat... And honestly, I feel sad and helpless. This is one tiny way that we all can help because while Lebanon may be on the other side of the world for some of us, we are all connected by these shared experiences of pain and suffering.
So please, mark you calendars and spread the word. I ask you to share this offering with 1-3 people who could benefit from the release of group breathwork. And thank you for helping in this way. I deeply appreciate you.
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. Last year we were able to raise almost $3000 with larger donations. I believe we can do this again through many small donations.
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 11 am 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.
