Transformational breathwork blends holotropic breathing, TRE (tension/trauma release exercises), and meditation. This is a class that is designed to create more vagal tone, downregulate the nervous system, release stress and trauma from your tissue, and find a new/spacious inner balance. Some benefits from this practice are, a reduction of stress, anxiety, depression, and overwhelm, and releasing trauma. Students will leave class feeling more grounded in his/her body, a deeper sense of relaxation, calm, peace, as well as an expanded state of consciousness, and more self awareness.
The first 15 minutes of class will focus on learning what TRE is, why it's important and how to do it. Then we will practice a 30 minute holotropic breathing exercise, after the breathwork we will move into practicing TRE and we will finish with a meditation and questions.

Community Grief Ceremony
“Surrendering to your sorrow has the power to heal the deepest of wounds”
-Sobonfu Some-
In life it is necessary to grieve those things that no longer serve us in order to let them go. Grief is a common human emotion that impacts us all. It can come to us through divorce, illness, loss of dreams, conflict, death, change and so much more. Grief is an invitation to feel. It invites us to come into the body to shed light on those things that are ready to be released in order to heal. Because of this, we must have ways to move our pain. Grief needs to be regularly felt and released or it begins to smother our joy, creativity, and our ability to connect with our self and others.
Community Grief Ceremony is a safe way to learn how to lean into grieving within and among community. Communal grieving offers something that we cannot get when we grieve by ourselves. Through validation, acknowledgement and witnessing, communal grieving allows us to experience a level of healing that is deeply and profoundly freeing. Each of us has a basic human right to that genuine love, happiness and freedom.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
-People feeling grief for the loss of a loved one, a pet, a partnership, or job
-Anyone stuck in unhealthy relationships or emotionally unhealthy situations
-People in transition of any kind, whether through divorce, illness, accidents, or disappointed dreams
-People in recovery
-Front line workers such as therapists, educators, nurses, social workers, hospice caregivers, police men or women, activists
-Veterans
-Those feeling the collective grief of a violent world, or the environmental harm of the earth
-Anyone with sadness and pain to release
-People dealing with a chronic illness
-Those who have lost a loved one
ABOUT THE LINEAGE OF THIS CEREMONY:
This ceremony is inspired by the work of Sobonfu Somé who took the teachings and healing practices from her tribe–The Dagara tribe of West Africa to America. Over the course of her life she traveled all over the US and Europe, teaching people how to grieve through the Dagara tradition. Dagara rituals offer profound healing, making spirit tangible by preparing the mind, body and soul to receive the spirituality that surrounds us.

http://www.sobonfu.com
This ceremony will be facilitated by Hillary Hurst and Barbara Largent and will be supported by various community members. Hillary Hurst is a mental health therapist who spent many years working with Sobonfu at grief rituals. Before Sonbonfu’s passing she asked Hillary to continue this work within her community. Barbara Largent is physician and energy healer who does deep emotional and trauma release work.

Community Grief Ceremony
This is a soul-cleansing rite that helps you find your way back to wholeness, peace, and self-acceptance.
About this Event
“Surrendering to your sorrow has the power to heal the deepest of wounds”
-Sobonfu Some-
In life it is necessary to grieve those things that no longer serve us in order to let them go. Grief is a common human emotion that impacts us all. It can come to us through divorce, illness, loss of dreams, conflict, death, change and so much more. Grief is an invitation to feel. It invites us to come into the body to shed light on those things that are ready to be released in order to heal. Because of this, we must have ways to move our pain. Grief needs to be regularly felt and released or it begins to smother our joy, creativity, and our ability to connect with our self and others.
Community Grief Ceremony is a safe way to learn how to lean into grieving within and among community. Communal grieving offers something that we cannot get when we grieve by ourselves. Through validation, acknowledgement and witnessing, communal grieving allows us to experience a level of healing that is deeply and profoundly freeing. Each of us has a basic human right to that genuine love, happiness and freedom.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
-People feeling grief for the loss of a loved one, a pet, a partnership, or job
-Anyone stuck in unhealthy relationships or emotionally unhealthy situations
-People in transition of any kind, whether through divorce, illness, accidents, or disappointed dreams
-People in recovery
-Front line workers such as therapists, educators, nurses, social workers, hospice caregivers, police men or women, activists
-Veterans
-Those feeling the collective grief of a violent world, or the environmental harm of the earth
-Anyone with sadness and pain to release
ABOUT THE LINEAGE OF THIS CEREMONY:
This ceremony is inspired by the work of Sobonfu Somé who took the teachings and healing practices from her tribe–The Dagara tribe of West Africa to America. Over the course of her life she traveled all over the US and Europe, teaching people how to grieve through the Dagara tradition. Dagara rituals offer profound healing, making spirit tangible by preparing the mind, body and soul to receive the spirituality that surrounds us.

This ceremony will be facilitated by Hillary Hurst and Barbara Largent and will be supported by various community members. Hillary Hurst is a mental health therapist who spent many years working with Sobonfu at grief rituals. Before Sonbonfu’s passing she asked Hillary to continue this work within her community. Barbara Largent is physician and energy healer who does deep emotional and trauma release work.

Mama Nurture Circle
Mama Nurture Circle is a weekly circle that meets every Tuesday for 6 weeks from 6:30-8:30 pm at The Hive. This circle is part open processing (as in each person gets to choose what she wants to share with the group), guided discussion, short meditation, and a possibly a little experiential exploration.
Weekly format roughly looks like a short meditation to clear our mind and ground our body into the present, a check in, then we explore different topics from relationships to self-care and everything in between through art, writing and/or discussion.
Who
This is a circle for any type of mother (step, adopted, biological) in any stage of parenting (from pregnant moms to parents of adults) who are looking to gain a deeper connection to their self as well as other women. This is NOT a group just for new moms. Although this can be helpful for new moms, it is for moms at any stage who are ready to do some internal/emotional work to discover who she is in the current stage she is in. It's about coming home to the woman she is, not the woman she was.
Why
For many women, after becoming a mom her life is devoted to her child. In this devotion there are parts of herself she loses. For others, raising a child triggers all the parts of herself that were rejected as a child and she loses herself to the pain and rage she is dealing with. Some women are so convinced that there is a "right" way to parent and are stuck in controlling the environment around her in order to protect her child that she gets stuck in a constant anxious state. The struggles vary, but what is clear for most is that there is a sense of self that is lost. For many women, joining a circle of women who are really open and vulnerable can be healing, nurturing and can help women rediscover herself through the insights and stories other women share.
This offering fosters deep connection, vulnerability, truth, and awareness. For some it's the first radical step towards self care that can create the much needed change one is looking for.
What does a circle look like?
When in circle we put our attention on one woman to explore what her experience is like, essentially getting into deep relationship with what is most true and alive for her.
The experience of being seen for who we are is one of the most fulfilling experiences we can have. Being in circle teaches us exactly that, how to see and celebrate each woman for the uniqueness she brings to the world.
We don’t give advice or try to fix anyone. Rather, we welcome and stay with what is so we can relax into the truth of our experience, feel supported, know we are not alone and allow the experience of this to change us.
Circle Dates:
February 4th- March 10th, 6:30-8:30pm

$120 for 6 weeks.

I thought it was just me
I Thought It Was Just Me, by Brene Brown.
This is a co-ed book group that is part circle and part guided discussion focusing on Shame.
Why a book group on shame?
Guilt is someone feeling that they’ve done something bad, and shame is a separate emotion where people believe they are bad. Shame separates us from one another, and it’s this separation that makes shame so particularly toxic to our being.
Shame is a self-sealing proposition. As shame disconnects and silences us, our shame becomes a secret, and secrets are where our shadow and toxicity lies. The challenge with shame is the feeling itself makes it unsafe for us to share the shame with others. It erodes our trust in ourselves and others.
Learn about shame, how it manifests in your life, how it impacts your joy, and how it shapes your relationships. As a group we will learn how to release shame in a safe and nurturing environment.
Investment: $50 for the group,
