Breathe the Tarot - The Sun

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 19 of the major Arcana - The Sun. This breathe is about the optimism and positivity. A main theme of The Sun is allowing fun into our lives. The Sun is also the card of success and abundance. With the energy of the Sun, you can radiate happiness and joy, knowing that good times are here or on their way! It's time to connect with your inner self and be fully present as the true you, sharing your gifts with the world. Clarity and aha moments may occur!

No experience is necessary, just come along with an open mind and the willingness to breathe in community with like-minded souls. I am a certified breathwork facilitator and I will guide you throughout the session. There will be wonderful, evocative soundscape to help you access your inner wisdom through this special yet simple form of breathwork. We also 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.
I work in a spirit of co creation and inclusivity. Please let me know of anything that you might need to make this experience accessible and comfortable for you. We aim to 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:

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.

An explanation of the breathing method and the benefits of the conscious connected breath. You will be invited to 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 or an adapted breathing method where needed.
