Breathwork is a powerful healing modality that can facilitate deep emotional, psychological and physical release. Through a careful selection of music, this technique can ignite intense inner exploration and is designed to facilitate epiphanies and breakthroughs. Participants are guided through several rounds of different breathing tempos and meditations while wearing surround sound headphones to create a deeply immersive experience.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, on average we have about 70,000 thoughts per day. That’s normal. It’s what our brains are trained to do - think.

Meditation is a pattern interrupt. This simple and powerful practice creates the opportunity for our brains to slow down, focus on a specific object of attention - like our breath, a mantra, something in nature or a picture on the wall. It’s a pattern interrupt because most of the time our brains are in a very specific pattern - creating thought, after thought, after thought. Meditation allows us to interrupt that pattern.
