Moon Mountain Healing

## About the event

Sometimes what we need, especially as we approach winter, is to know how to generate our own internal fire.

Perhaps we don't even know where that fire is. I have supported people in connecting with the spark of their being and seen them grow that spark into a big, burning flame that is powerful yet contained.

That fire is your aliveness. It is your internal source of warmth, vitality, and power—the energy that helps you aim your attention toward what you want and move toward it in a meaningful way.

You want connection, clarity, understanding, truth, and Love? Your fire can help clear the way for you to experience that, simply through intentionally breathing.

Because we can become so constricted and pressed down, our fire can't properly burn. The oxygen is missing.

I believe sometimes we just need space to breathe, feel, listen, release, and allow some of what we have been carrying to move—giving that fire enough oxygen to burn and clear the paths back to our core, and most importantly, our Heart.

Clearing The Way is a two-hour online group breathwork experience created as a space for deep inner work, connection, and integration from the comfort of your own home.

We will begin by arriving together and creating some context for the practice before moving into a facilitated breathwork journey. There will be plenty of time afterward to come back slowly, integrate, and share what arose if you feel called.

You do not need to have prior breathwork experience.

What to expect

• Opening, grounding, connecting to self and the space
• Introduction to the breathwork practice
• Facilitated conscious connected breathwork journey
• Music and verbal facilitation throughout
• Time for rest, re-orientation, integration
• Optional group sharing and connection at the end

What you’ll need
Find a private, comfortable place where you can lie down and remain undisturbed for the duration of the session.
I recommend having:

• Good internet connection
• A yoga mat, bed, or comfortable place to lie down
• Blanket and pillow
• Water
• Headphones or a good speaker
• Journal if you would like one
• Enough space and privacy to make sound, move, breathe, or express yourself freely
• Any supportive objects such as crystals, stuffies, candles, oils or smells, etc
• Snacks close by (people tend to be hungry after breathing)

Please plan to join from a computer or device that can remain connected for the full session.

A little about the practice
The breathwork I facilitate is an active, conscious connected breathing practice. It can create a wide range of experiences physically, emotionally, and energetically.

I intend for this practice to be as much as an embodiment practice as it is a spiritual practice.

My greatest intention, however, is never to force an experience or push you somewhere you are not ready to go.

You are always encouraged to listen to your body, slow down, modify the breath, or stop whenever you need to. There will be plenty of tools and reminders given before and during that informs on what you can do if your practice starts to get too intense.

There is nothing you need to accomplish. Just showing up can be huge.

Fire, when properly contained, cooks our food and warms our homes.

Part of this practice is learning how to be with the intensity of our own experience in a way that is intentional, supported, and contained.
My wish for all the participants is for them to connect to their inner fire and work with it in a way that feels intentional, supportive, and contained. This is a space to explore, to make room for more energy to flow, and to feel good and expansive within the body, while honoring the nervous system.

Investment: $20

Your registration reserves your place in the group.

[REGISTER FOR CLEARING THE WAY]

After registering, you’ll receive an email with the Zoom link, preparation information, and everything you need for the session. Please read before registering
Conscious connected breathwork can be physically and emotionally activating and may not be appropriate for everyone.

Please consult with an appropriate healthcare professional before participating if you are pregnant or have a history of significant cardiovascular conditions, uncontrolled high blood pressure, seizure disorders, serious respiratory conditions, recent major surgery or injury, or another medical condition that could be affected by vigorous breathing.

If you are currently experiencing significant psychological instability, acute crisis, or symptoms that make altered or highly activated states difficult to safely navigate, this particular practice may also not be the right fit at this time.

Participation is always voluntary. You are encouraged to listen to your body throughout the experience and can slow the breath, return to natural breathing, sit up, or stop the practice at any point.

This offering is an educational and experiential wellness practice and is not psychotherapy, medical treatment, or a substitute for care from a licensed medical or mental health professional.

If you are unsure whether this practice is appropriate for you, please reach out to me before registering.

You are hearing the whispers, seeing the signs, and feeling the draw towards more... more depth, more connection, and more discovery.

This offering is a way to provide a safe and supportive space for the men of the Eugene/Springfield community and those nearby to intentionally do shadow work with a low-cost entry barrier.

This container is oriented in moving towards the edge, touching the depths beneath the surface, and integrating what was met and learned in that experience so that it may be applied into your everyday life.

Each month, one to three men will have the opportunity to step into a facilitated shadow work process while the rest of the group serves as witnesses, participants, and a field of support. Whether you are receiving the process or supporting another man through his, everyone is engaged in the work together.

Some months you may find yourself stepping into your own process. Other months you may simply witness another man's journey. Time and time again, we have seen that what unfolds for one man often touches something universal, allowing everyone in the room to discover parts of themselves through the work. There is tremendous healing in both being seen and in seeing another.

What is Shadow Work?
Shadow work is about meeting the unconscious, unaware, and avoided parts of ourselves with conscious awareness. In this container, we work less with the cognitive, thinking mind and more with the body and what is alive and present in real time.

There are many ways to do shadow work, and the way this container does it is by facilitating a process that can include sentence stems (offered unfinished sentences for the participant(s) to complete), gestalt therapy practices, psychodrama, group participation, loving touch (if consented to), parts work, meditation, imagination, breathwork, bodywork, dyads, and more.

Each process is unique, emergent, and intuitive. The process that unfolds cannot be premeditated nor repeated. However, the results tend to be: clarity, insight, discovery, connection, an open heart, a sense of direction, regulation, joy, lightness, freedom, gratitude, emotional strength, spiritual strength, resilience, informed optimism, a sense of wholeness, authenticity, excitement for life, grounded embodiment, and acceptance.

This is what happens in the 1:1 work that Moon Mountain Healing does, and in a safe and supportive group, it is all amplified by the Love from the multiple hearts and nervous systems that hold and nourish the work.

Facilitators
The container is held by three facilitators: Jacob Albritton, Dustin Caldwell, and Oak Brown.

Jacob Albritton
Founder of Moon Mountain Healing, shadow work facilitator, breathwork facilitator, guide, and coach.
Jacob's work integrates somatic shadow work, conscious connected breathwork, relational healing, and his personal work exploring what it means to be a man to help people cultivate greater awareness, emotional resilience, and authentic connection. His approach is rooted in compassion, curiosity, embodiment, and the belief that healing happens through relationship.

He has been in men's work for over five years, doing intentional shadow work for four years, and professionally leading shadow work and guiding others through transformation for over a year. His mentor and teacher for shadow work and men's work is Luke Adler. Jacob has been working with Luke for four years.

Dustin Caldwell
Dustin Caldwell is a business owner, men's group facilitator, and guide whose passion is creating spaces where men can show up honestly, reconnect with themselves, and experience the healing that happens through authentic brotherhood.

His journey into men's work has been shaped by decades of personal growth, leadership training, and shadow work. Through Heart of Shadow, ongoing men's groups, and years of working alongside mentors such as Luke Adler, Dustin has come to believe that some of life's deepest transformation happens when men feel safe enough to be fully seen, challenged with compassion, and supported by other men walking the same path.

Dustin approaches this work with humility, curiosity, and the belief that none of us ever outgrow our own healing. He is committed to continuing his own work while helping cultivate spaces where men can reconnect with their authenticity, courage, and capacity to love.

Alex (Oak) Brown
Oak has been working in various capacities of service and care for most of his adult life. He has resonated with supporting other humans through much of his work and continues to lean into this passion. Currently, he is a licensed massage therapist working at a spa in Eugene. Bodywork and healing touch have greatly expanded his path of introspection and body awareness. This work has given him clarity on how each individual's healing path is unique and beautiful. Finding the ways to support himself and others on that path is central to his purpose in this life.

Over the past six years, Oak has been involved in various forms of personal shadow work, spiritual growth, healing arts practices, and, more recently, men's work. He took part in Cascadia Quest's Tending Male Fire in 2022, which was deeply transformational and led to deeper explorations independently. When Jacob invited Oak to co-facilitate their Root & Rise open men's group, he was deeply honored and became truly passionate about the importance of this work.

Scope of Practice
Shadow Rising is an educational, experiential, somatic, relational, and men's development offering centered around shadow work, self-awareness, embodiment, brotherhood, and personal growth.

Shadow Rising is not group psychotherapy or professional counseling.

The facilitators are not acting as psychotherapists, psychologists, professional counselors, clinical social workers, psychiatrists, or medical providers within this container.

The facilitators do not diagnose or treat mental health disorders or medical conditions and do not provide psychotherapy, professional counseling, psychiatric care, or medical treatment through Shadow Rising.

Our work may involve exploring emotions, bodily sensations, personal history, family patterns, relationship dynamics, protective responses, beliefs, inner child material, imagination, masculinity, sexuality, and other aspects of participants' lived and internal experiences.

These experiences are explored for the purposes of self-awareness, personal development, embodiment, relational practice, and building a deeper relationship with yourself and others.

Shadow Rising is not a replacement for psychotherapy, medical treatment, psychiatric care, or other licensed professional services.

Participants remain responsible for seeking appropriate licensed or emergency support when needed.

The facilitators may recommend that a participant seek additional support from a licensed mental health, medical, or other qualified professional when they believe a participant's needs extend beyond the facilitators' training, competence, or scope of practice.

The facilitators reserve the right to modify, pause, or discontinue a participant's involvement when they believe continued participation is outside of the scope of the program or cannot continue in a physically or relationally safe and supportive way.

Receiving a process is never guaranteed. Each gathering unfolds organically, and the facilitators discern which process(es) will best serve both the individual and the group.

This work is intentionally much deeper than what is available at our open men's group Root & Rise. At the same time, it is not meant to be the deepest work possible. This container is designed to help men orient toward deeper work by introducing them to what becomes possible when we move toward our depths while being held in authentic community.
