Community Breathwork Circle
2026-05-08 19:00 - 20:30
Join us in a supportive community space to breathe, heal, and connect. With the weight of world events and the challenges of our personal lives, we need each other — to heal together, to witness and support one another, and to connect in our shared humanity.
Led by breathwork practitioner Julie Banashak, you will be guided through a breathwork process using a conscious connected breath pattern, with opportunities for group sharing to reflect on and integrate your experience.
Breathwork uses intentional breathing to bring us into the present moment and into our bodies. It can help you:

Release tension and stress
Process and move through emotions and challenging life experiences
Uncover conditioned patterns of thinking and behavior, opening space for more resonant, supportive, life-giving choices
Open your heart to bring more love to yourself, others, and the world
Come back to your center and live from your truest authentic self

Community Breathwork Circle is open to all; no experience is needed. We will be on the floor, sitting and lying down. Yoga mats, blankets, and bolsters are provided, and you’re welcome to bring anything else you need to feel comfortable. Wear clothes you can breathe and move in, and avoid heavy meals beforehand. You may also bring a journal, pen, water, and a meaningful or sacred item for our communal nature altar.
Contribution: Tickets are $35 and registration closes 24 hours prior to the session. Tickets cannot be reimbursed after the registration deadline unless the event is canceled by the host.
