Transformational Breathwork Journey
Awakenings Wellness Center, 1016 SE 12th Ave, Portland, OR 97214, USA, 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. We will journey with the breath in a ceremonial space to access the deeper parts of ourselves - and to create more space for pure life energy to flow through and restore balance where it may be needed!
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 powerful way to move emotional energy that's been deeply stored, and tap into an intuitive and expanded state while remaining grounded in the body.
Our theme for this breathwork journey will be Returning To Our Roots. Through our breath, we'll explore our emotional, ancestral, and spiritual roots, and reconnect to the deeper ground of our being as we release and shed what no longer serves us in this season.
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 evening of embodiment and somatic release, heart-centered clarity and expression, and an embodiment of the vision and intentions you are holding for this sesaon of your life.

Ayurvedic Seasonal Self-Care Workshop
Awakenings Wellness Center, 1016 SE 12th Ave, Portland, OR 97214, USA, Portland, OR, USJoin us for a nourishing and illuminating afternoon together learning how to incorporate the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda into your life for long-lasting vitality and well-being. 🌿
The seasonal shift from fall into winter is an invitation to slow down, nourish yourself, and create more stability and balance within. Ayurveda (the ancient science of life in traditional Indian medicine) offers time-honored practices to help support the body and nervous system as we move through these seasonal rhythms.
Autumn is known as Vata season - a time defined by the energy of wind, movement, and change - which can show up within us as a restless mind and disturbed sleep, joint discomfort, dry skin, or irregular digestion.
In this workshop, we'll explore nourishing practices to support your body, mind, and soul through the cold season so that you can maintain a calm and regulated nervous system, healthy immune function, and balanced mind.
We'll also explore the foundational principles of Ayurveda, including the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), and discover how our unique constitutions interact with the qualities of the seasons. You'll learn simple, accessible ways to support your well-being as we transition from fall into winter, including seasonal nutrition, daily self-care rituals, a Vata-season movement practice, and grounding habits to incorporate to deeply nourish your nervous system in this season.
You'll Learn About:
- Ayurvedic Foundations including dosha types, seasonal rhythms, and foundational principles of this 5000+ year old system of healing from India
- Daily Self-Care Rituals including gentle cleansing, self-massage, and other body-based practices to maintain vitality
- Seasonal Nourishment - Learn what types of foods best support your body during the cold season, including supportive herbs from Ayurvedic medicine
- Grounding Movement - We'll move through a therapeutic yoga practice designed to balance the body and mind in this season
I want you to leave not only nourished from our time together - but empowered with a foundation of how to weave these practices into your life!
You'll leave with resources to help you develop your own Ayurvedic-based daily rituals, as well as a tea and body oil developed to support you this season 🧡🩵

Full Moon Cacao & Transformational Breathwork Ceremony
Awakenings Wellness Center, 1016 SE 12th Ave, Portland, OR 97214, USA, Portland, OR, USJoin us for a connective and creative evening of community spirit and inner journeying in ceremony with Cacao, Connective Practices, and somatic healing through Transformational Breathwork.
The time of the Full Moon is an energy peak, like the crest of a cosmic energy wave that's been building throughout the lunar month. It is a time of recharging and letting go of what is no longer serving us, ready to start fresh and clear with a powerful vision and intention for our lives. 🌕
November's Full Moon is a Supermoon, which amplifies the energy of our intentions and our current rhythms - making this a perfect time to come share, connect, and breathe in community 🩵
☕️ Cacao is a medicine of the heart who shows us how to open more deeply to our authentic selves. We will work with the cacao through intention-setting, partner and group connection, and guided meditation, and then explore some guided pranayama practices to release physical and energetic blockages in preparation for our transformational breathwork journey.
🌬️ Transformational Breathwork helps us to deepen our inner connection, improve our physical vitality, elevate mental and emotional clarity, and awaken our spiritual connection. It 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.
A breathwork journey is a highly effective way to move stuck energy and tap into a deeply intuitive state while remaining grounded in the body!
We will open our space by welcoming the spirit of Cacao and our helping plants for this ceremony, working with sound, guided visualization and embodiment practices to open our hearts to her medicine .
We will gently explore a few guided connective practices to support opening of the heart and dropping in deeper with our community. You may feel inspired to move, breathe, and express creatively during this time as the medicine of Cacao works her magic!
The second half of our ceremony will welcome the medicine of Breath through a Transformational Breathwork Journey. During our breathwork journey, you will lay down on your mat and be gently guided into a rhythmic breathing pattern supported by the music and my voice helping you to travel deeply into your body, allowing the breath to create space for release and renewal.
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 connective and insightful experience of somatic release, heart-centered expression, and tending and nourishing your intentions for this next moon cycle.
Note: If you tend towards elevated blood pressure or have any heart issues, please contact me before the session so we can determine if this particular form of breathwork will be appropriate for you.
Limited spaces available (up to 18); please only RSVP if you are you sure you will be joining us!
What to Bring: Please bring a mug for cacao, a water bottle, a journal and pen, and comfortable clothing (layers are good for temperature fluctuations that can happen during breathwork!) We will have blankets and yoga mats available at the space.
