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 17 of the major Arcana - The Star. This breathe is about hope and inspiration. A main theme of The Star is having faith in the future and anticipation of good things to come. We can also breathe into renewed motivation and a sense of our inner power. The star brings us answers. This is a time to ask for answers to come from our higher selves or a higher power. This card invites you to open your heart and share your love, to pour from your cup to fill up the cups of those around you. With the energy of the Star, you feel centred and tranquil even if all is not calm around you and you emanate this harmony like a shining light.

I am a certified breathwork facilitator and I will guide you throughout the session. 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 my explanation of the method and benefits of the conscious connected breath before you create a breathing nest with your cushions, blankets and mats (please bring these with you) so that you are 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.
