About:
Denise & Cesar are visiting us all the way from the Sacred Valley, Peru. They have been living in Peru for almost 20 years being steeped in the ancient wisdom of the Q'ero Nation (descendants of the Incas) and following Amazonian lineages of Sacred Plant Medicine.
Their breathwork is imprinted with all the wisdom and knowledge they have experienced living in such a rich environment, learning from teachers of all walks of life and lineage. This husband & wife team brings over 30 years combined experience in the transformational, healing world.
Breathwork is one of their favorite tools as they see immediate and effective results after one session.
Denise & Cesar will guide the session with live medicine music and verbal prompts to help you navigate your inner landscape. We will laugh, cry, holler and dive into a healing release in a safe, supportive and grounded container.
You will leave feeling lighter, softer and more connected to your intuition.

Virtual Breathwork Circles & Meditation
Every New Moon & Full Moon
Breathwork is an active meditation that uses the breath as a vehicle to release emotional debris out of the body and nervous system. It can help you find a haven within your body, open the heart and break patterns of depression or anxiety. It is a self-healing practice that is an efficient and potent way to emotionally detox. There are many types of group breathwork meditation classes. I learned from David Elliott. He simply calls it an active meditation or pranayama breath for spiritual, physical, mental and emotional healing.

Connect with loved ones on the Other Side
Saturday, May 23rd
11am PST / Noon MST / 1 CST / 2pm EST
BREATHWORK THEME: Connect with your loved one on the Other Side.
This is a special virtual breathwork circle that I’m really excited to share. It can be devastating when one of our beloveds pass.
However, love never dies and your relationship with your loved one can continue. Their form has changed but their spirit lives on.
We will go over the language of Spirit and how our loved ones communicate with us. Then we will move into Breathwork and open up our hearts to the messages from our beloveds.
New Moon
Stay Tuned!
BREATHWORK THEME:
Noon PST / 1pm MST / 2pm CST / 3pm EST
The New Moon or Dark Moon is a time to dream and plant seeds. It is a time to get quiet and find stillness. The beginning of a new cycle, we can use this time as an invitation to go within and set intentions for the upcoming cycle.
If this theme doesn’t resonate with you then breathe into whatever you need. What areas of life are you feeling constricted? What part of you needs some love and understanding? What habits, patterns and beliefs are you ready to release? What within you is limiting your experience of peace, expression and freedom? Where could you use some more trust? Where are you letting fear control you? Where have you lost faith?
In this breathwork session, we will re-configure and re-align ourselves to trusting in the Divine Plan for our lives and others.
The breath will take you where you need to go, so regardless of whether or not this theme resonates with you ~ you will get what you need from this circle. This is a highly intuitive and refined process, so trust and breathe.
Full Moon
Stay Tuned!
3pm PST / 4pm MST / 5pm CST / 6pm EST
The Full Moon is a time for celebration and completion. With the Moon at her brightest, we can use the light to expose what is no longer serving us and let it go.
BREATHWORK THEME: Breathe into whatever you need. What areas of life are you feeling constricted? What part of you needs some love and understanding?

BREATHWORK
WHAT IS BREATHWORK?
I will be honest and say that most people who try this type of guided breathwork say afterwards, “Holy Shit!” I will go into greater detail below of what to expect and the benefits, but nothing seems to sums it up like it’s a “Holy Shit!” experience.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BREATHWORK?
The benefits of breathwork are truly endless but some common ones are releasing anger, shame, grief, sadness, guilt, fear, doubt, betrayal, anxiety, limiting beliefs, conditionings, trauma, and physical, mental, emotional abuse out of the physical and emotional bodies. The body remembers what the mind has forgotten or suppressed. The breath bypasses the mind and allows the body and nervous system to process and clear trauma and open up the pathways for ease and connection.
☽
It’s a deep dive into exploring the vastness of your essential self, releasing limiting beliefs and traumas and unlocking self-love, acceptance, intuition, creativity, freedom and peace. It helps regulate the nervous system and inspire action when stuck or depressed. It unites your spirit with your body so you can “connect the dots” and receive clarity. Once the emotions are processed, physical healing happens more easily, self-love and gratitude are more accessible, and creativity, clarity and peace can be your normal state of being.
☽
WHAT DOES A GROUP BREATHWORK SESSION LOOK LIKE?
You will be laying on your back during the breathing portion of the breathwork session. It is a 3 part breath all through the mouth. The first inhale goes to the low belly, the second inhale goes to the heart and then exhale everything through the mouth. This is repeated for up to 30 minutes. I guide the session with a curated playlist and a few medicine songs that I sing. I will use affirmations and prompts guided by Spirit to help breathe light into the dark corners of your mind, body and heart. You are encouraged to laugh, yell and feel deeply in a safe and supported environment.
☽
WHAT MAKES MY GROUP BREATHWORK SESSIONS UNIQUE?
I have lived in the Peruvian Andes since 2007 and am a shamanic practitioner. I have been walking a plant medicine path with Ayahuasca since 2009 and have balanced it with intensives in yoga, meditation, nature and music. I bring a deep wisdom of the earth and plant medicine in all that I do.
☽
IS ANY PRIOR BREATHWORK EXPERIENCE NECESSARY?
No, you do not need prior breathwork experience to join. Come as you are. You can’t get it wrong. I accept people age 13 and Up. If you have any physical limitations or concerns please let me know.

Testimonial
I stumbled onto one of Denise's breathwork classes somewhat serendipitously. I was going through some personal troubles at the time and felt that it may be beneficial. I had one previous experience with breathwork so I had a general idea what to expect, but I was blown away by the experience I had in that first class with Denise, as well as, several more I have done since. Denise is amazing at creating a space that allows you to feel safe and supported. When you are able to fully open up and be vulnerable an incredible amount of healing can occur with this practice. It is amazing the states of consciousness that can be achieved through breathwork alone, in many cases, it is possible to reach brain states that are similar to a psychedelic experience. In these highly open and creative brain states, we have a deeper connection to our subconscious, we are able to process trauma, release stress and anxiety, and make lasting positive changes. I would highly recommend Denise as a breathwork facilitator, Denise is an incredible healer and has a gift for helping people. I have experienced several breakthroughs during her classes, and have made lasting positive changes as a result.
