What is Breathe the Tarot?
I invite you to explore the universal themes from the tarot through a breathwork healing journey where you will experience the amazing effects of conscious connected breathwork on emotional mood, physical wellness, mental clarity and spiritual connection. My music and guidance for this journey will be inspired by Card 15 of the major Arcana - The Devil. This breathe is about accepting that our lives always bring us both negative and positive experiences to negotiate our way through, but our awareness of what is the truth and what is a false assumption. perhaps based on appearances, lack of knowledge or our own fears, helps us to remain strong and positive as we face any challenges. A main theme is fear of the unknown, which can hold us back. We can breathe into feeling the fear and doing it anyway. And we can breathe into hope lighting up our view of what may seem like a bleak future. There is also an element of materialism, not in terms of having bought too many things and coveting possessions, but in terms of only believing what can be actually seen, heard or touched with our physical senses. We can breathe into trust in something greater than ourselves that guides us and protects us.

I am a certified breathwork facilitator and I will guide you throughout. No experience is necessary, just come along with an open mind and the willingness to breathe in community with like minded souls. There will be a wonderful, evocative music to help you access your inner wisdom through this special yet simple form of breathwork. We have time before and after to talk and share our experiences as we combine forces to co create a wonderful and safe space for personal development and transformation. The event has four main parts to it as follows:

Part One: Exploring the theme
We begin with a guided introduction to the main themes inspired by this tarot card. We will talk or do activities in either in small groups or open circle to discover where you want to go with this theme.
Part Two: Getting ready to breathe
You can listen to an explanation of the method and benefits of the conscious connected breath and you are invited to create a breathing nest with your cushions, blankets and mats (please bring these with you) to be comfortable when you go deep into our healing journey, using the conscious connected breathing method.
Part Three: Your Breathwork Healing Journey
We are then ready to go deep into a conscious connected breathwork healing journey. I will guide you in both the style of breath (including adaptations) and the themes to breathe into, as I play my evocative music playlist curated around the messages of the card. Personal healing on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level is welcomed into your individual experience. both the breath and the theme as I play you a specially compiled playlist of evocative music curated around the themes of the tarot card. Personal growth and healing is welcomed into your very individual experience, whether you follow these themes or spontaneously go on a different journey as you breathe.
Part four: Closing Circle
At the end of the playlist, there is time for integration, reflection and an opportunity to talk about your experience if you wish. There will be a chance to share your experiences or simply listen in as we discuss the effects of the practice.

Can anyone do this?

I will instruct you how to do the conscious connected breath and how to adapt it. Whichever breath you choose, please don't eat a large meal or consume alcohol beforehand.

What do I need to bring?
