Breathwork with Ariana Fotinakis
"While filled with much opportunity for beauty and joy, our journeys as human beings can also be filled with loss, grief, and heartbreak. And in a world that prioritizes productivity and keeping one foot in front of the other, many of us find ourselves locking away the tender parts of our hearts, rarely giving them the space they need to feel, process, and integrate." Ariana F
On August 18th from 3:00-5:30pm, join us for a nourishing afternoon of self-exploration and rejuvenation. With supportive botanicals and a gentle-yet-powerful form of conscious connected breathwork as our allies, we will take a journey through the heart and offer ourselves the gift of tending to our emotional bodies.
Our time together will include a grounding meditation, sharing circle and conscious connected breathwork journey, and we will weave in the medicine of various plant allies to support the journey and integration. We will provide fresh lavender tea and light snacks for our time together.
After gathering and breathing outdoors under the shade of an Arbutus tree, our hope is that you will leave feeling clear, grounded, and emotionally lighter. Plus, you'll bring home a bundle of fresh lavender to continue to connect with!
Spaces are limited to maintain a small and intimate environment. Learn more about your facilitator, Ariana Fotinaki at https://arianafotinakis.com.
Disclaimer: please note that while we are working with a gentle form of breathwork, there are still some precautions to take to ensure you have a safe experience. If you have glaucoma or detached retina, have recently been hospitalized for a physical or mental injury, experience high or low blood pressure, or are pregnant, please reach out to Ariana before registering to discuss whether breathwork is right for you at this stage of your journey: [email protected]
Lavender Essential Oil Distilling
Learn the basic alchemy of distilling when you join us for a 4 hour hands-on workshop. Harvest, distill and bottle your own lavender oil and hydrosol, under the guidance of an experienced distiller. You take home organic essential oil and hydrosol (floral water) valued up to $100, and have a unique distilling experience!
Most of the work is outdoors. You will use sharp harvesting tools, copper and glass equipment, and work with hot stills. So come prepared and dress comfortably. And more importantly have fun!
Distilling workshops are from 9.30 am to 1.00 pm. Light refreshments are served. Maximum of two attendees per workshop. $250/person.
