About us
This is a soul-centered, playful space to explore areas of self-exploration and growth such as purpose, creativity, mindfulness, relationships, and tapping into our wild and authentic, true nature. Think of The Wild Within as a playground to explore your true essence and expand your sense of meaning and purpose, and authentic connection with others and yourself!

It's for those who want to unlock parts of themselves they may not have explored yet – and do it in a soulful ribe of others seeking to live as deeply and fully as possible.

🧘♀️ Yoga classes
🌬️ Breathwork journeys
🧠 Mindfulness workshops
🎨 Creative sessions
🔥 Purpose exploration

Transformational Breathwork Journey
Glimmer Wellness Center, 205 SE Grand Ave, Portland, OR, USTransformational Breathwork (or Conscious Connected Breathwork) is a somatic healing modality where we intentionally work with our breath to enter a deep state of consciousness to access physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing and activation.
Transformational Breathwork works by helping you to bypass the conscious mind and move into the subtle body to access the deeper layers of emotion, while gently supporting the nervous system. It’s a faster way to move stuck energy and tap into a deeply intuitive state while remaining grounded in the body.
Our theme for this session will be Releasing Control and Surrendering to Life's Magic. You'll learn to use your breath as a tool to create safety in your body so you can move through life with both surrender and empowerment, open to receive life's gifts and opportunities you may have never even imagined.
We will begin our breathwork space with an opening circle to set intentions and connect with one another. I will guide us through how the breathwork journey will unfold, what to expect, and how to navigate the experience.
We will make sure that you have everything you need in your space for the journey, then warm up with a few somatic and pranayama practices, exploring what is present in our bodies and creating a connected field of support for our journey to unfold.
We will then enter into our Conscious Connected Breathwork journey and ceremonial space, a physical, emotional, and often spiritual journey working with the breath or prana to enter deep healing states in the body.
For many, the breath utilized in this way can help to release stored emotional energy that has been keeping them blocked and stagnated for years. And for many others, it is a portal to their innate wisdom and medicine within, an activation of their true essence and gifts.
Our journey will conclude with a group integration, with time for journaling and sharing insights and further support for one another.
Together we will co-create a healing afternoon of somatic release, heart-centered clarity and expression, and an embodiment of the vision and intentions you are holding for this sesaon of your life.
