What is a Breathwork Ceremony?

A ceremony is a space where the ordinary becomes sacred.

We take an average of 20,000 breaths each day. So many that the breath often fades into the background, automatic and unnoticed.

And yet, the breath meets us in every moment  – responding to our emotions, our thoughts, our stress, our tenderness – day in and day out.

In ceremony, we pause long enough to notice what is usually overlooked. We take something profoundly ordinary and meet it with intention.

We slow down. We listen. We allow the breath to shift from a function we use into a relationship we enter.

When approached this way, the breath becomes more than air moving in and out of the body. It becomes a doorway into sensation, memory, insight, and presence.

These breath ceremonies are more than just a "breathwork session". They are intentionally curated experiences and inner journeys that invite you to step out of habit and into profound presence.

Who These Ceremonies Are For

These ceremonies are for you if you are drawn to:

• Experiential, embodied inner work
• Working with the breath as a doorway rather than a tool
• Depth, ritual, and intentional space
• Nervous-system and trauma-aware facilitation
• Preparation and integration, not just the experience itself

They are especially supportive if you’ve felt that other breathwork spaces move too fast, go too hard, or leave you feeling dysregulated.

Each month's ceremony offers a different thematic focus, offering a new doorway for self-exploration.

📅 Second Sunday of every month (Upcoming: Mar. 8, Apr 12, May 10)

Each ceremony weaves together:

Each unique ceremony may also include additional practices to support that month's thematic inquiry, such as live music, tea ceremonies, art practices etc. A description of upcoming themes and dates can be found below.

Upcoming Ceremonies

Sunday, April 12 • 4:30 - 6:30 PM • The Breath We Come From

The way we move through the world, how we relate, respond, and cope, is shaped by both our lived experience and the people who came before us.

In this ceremony, we’ll use our breath and a guided meditation to explore our ancestral connections—not as an idea, but as a felt experience in the body.

We’ll close with an art practice to help you process and integrate what came up.

Sunday, May 10 • 4:30 - 6:30 PM • A Journey Through the Senses

This breathwork ceremony invites you out of your head and into direct experience. Through breathwork, a guided sensory food tasting (honer or fruit) , blindfolded movement, sound, and touch, we’ll explore what happens when you fully engage your senses.

A guided, immersive journey designed to deepen presence, expand awareness, and reconnect you with your body in a tangible way.
