Come sit with us.
Gatherings are one of the simplest ways to experience The Healing Breath.
You don’t need any previous breathwork experience.
You don’t need to be “spiritual”.
And you don’t need to arrive with something you need to fix.
Just come as you are.
What happens at a gathering?
Every gathering is slightly different.
Some are held in town.
Some happen on the land.
Some are centred around breathwork.
Some have more fire, food, conversation, sound or
ceremony woven through them.
But the intention is generally the same.
To create enough space for people to slow down.
To breathe.
To feel.
To connect.
And to spend a few hours outside the usual pace of everyday life.
What you can expect.
Depending on the gathering, there may be:
Ceremonial cacao
Guided breathwork
Music
Sound
Scent
Movement
Stillness
Conversation
Fire
Time outside
Shared food
Connection
There may be laughter.
There may be emotion.
There may be silence.
You might have an enormous experience.
You might simply leave feeling lighter, clearer or more settled.
There is no required outcome.
The breathwork.
The breathwork is guided throughout, so you don’t need to know what you’re doing beforehand.
I use connected breathing supported by music, guidance and live instruments.
There are moments where the breath may become more active.
Other moments where we slow right down.
You’re always invited to listen to your own body.
There is no pressure to push beyond what feels appropriate for you.
You can pause.
You can breathe normally.
You can rest.
The experience belongs to you.
The ceremony begins before the breath.
For many gatherings, we begin with ceremonial cacao.
We slow things down.
We sit together.
We drink.
We arrive.
From there, the space may include fire, scent, drums, rattles, voice, movement, silence and other simple ceremonial elements.
None of these things are there for performance.
They help create a different kind of attention.
A reminder that for a few hours, we don’t need to rush onto the next thing.
You don’t need to fit a type.
People arrive for all sorts of reasons.
Curiosity.
Stress.
A life transition.
Wanting to reconnect with themselves.
Wanting to meet good people.
Wanting to experience breathwork for the first time.
Or simply because something about the gathering feels like a yes.
You don’t need to understand the language.
You don’t need a spiritual practice.
You don’t need a dramatic story.
You’re welcome to come exactly as you are.
Upcoming gatherings.
These are the spaces currently open.
If nothing is showing here, join the email list and I’ll let you know when the next one is announced.
Sometimes we gather on the land.
Our home in the New England region is slowly becoming part of the work.
Small groups.
Fire.
Breath.
Food.
Conversation.
Time outside.
Room to move.
Room to be still.
These gatherings tend to be smaller and a little less structured than the spaces I hold in town.
The land gets a say too.
A note about safety.
Breathwork can be physically and emotionally activating, and not every breathing practice is appropriate for every person.
Before attending, you’ll be asked to review the relevant health information and let me know about anything that may affect your participation.
Depending on your circumstances, I may suggest modifying the breathwork, using a gentler practice, or speaking with an appropriately qualified health professional before participating.
You are always encouraged to listen to your body and participate at a level that feels appropriate for you.
These gatherings are complementary wellbeing experiences and are not a substitute for medical or psychological care.
First time?
Good.
You don’t need to prepare yourself into the “right” state.
Come comfortable.
Come curious.
Come nervous if you’re nervous.
You’ll be guided through everything when you arrive.
What should I bring?
Each event page will tell you exactly what you need.
Generally:
Comfortable clothing
Water
Something warm
A mat or bedding where required
And enough time afterwards that you don’t need to immediately race off to the next thing.
Maybe I’ll see you at the next one.
If there’s a gathering that feels right, come along.
If you’re unsure about anything beforehand, send me a message.
And if there’s nothing currently near you, join the email list.
You never know where we’ll gather next.
