Community Breathwork Circles DISCOVER THE WISDOM WITHIN

WELCOME

Welcome to the Community Breathwork Circle! The information that follows will help prospective participants learn more about this style of breathwork, as well as access details specific to registration, circle dates, and session fees.

OVERVIEW

Created by the Center for Medicinal Mindfulness (Boulder, CO), this circular breathing practice eliminates the gaps that naturally occur at the end of both the inhale and the exhale. When done with awareness and intent, this type of breathing creates a state of charged equilibrium in the nervous system. Awareness becomes altered, and we gain access to a transpersonal or higher state of consciousness where insights, healing, and new perspectives become available to us.

Different theories exist to explain this phenomenon. One posits that activation of both the sympathetic (active) and the parasympathetic (deep rest and healing) branches of the nervous system help to elicit healing through the activation of stored material in a safe environment. Another suggests that increased carbon dioxide levels induced by breathwork, trick the body into releasing the spirit molecule DMT - a substance produced by the lungs and released during the dying process. Whatever the mechanism, participants typically report deeply altered states where shifts in perspective are accessible.

LOCATION

Sessions are conducted in small groups, in-person, at Spear Wellness Centre, located at 4 Cataraqui St #101, Kingston, ON K7K 1Z7.

INTEGRATION

Integration is considered the most important part of any altered state experience. This is where the work really begins. We journey for a vast number of reasons - maybe we want to learn more about ourselves; perhaps there's a wound that requires healing; or maybe we want to connect with something bigger than us...whatever the reason, finding ways to weave elements of our inner world experience into our lives, is essential for real change to manifest. To assist with integration, additional Transformational Coaching and Integration sessions with Denise can be arranged by participants. To schedule an appointment see: Integration Coaching

MEET THE FACILITATOR

"Be a curator of your life. Slowly cut things out until you’re left only with what you love, with what’s necessary, with what makes you happy." ~ Leo Babauta

My transpersonal roots extend to plant medicines which I've utilized as a tool for my own psychospirtual development since 2018. In 2022 I began training with the Center Mindfulness (CMM) in Colorado, where I learned to work with cannabis as a psychedelic. In 2023, I became a credentialed psychedelic sitter and guide for this medicine. Breathwork is an offshoot of CMM's Cannabis Assisted Breathwork practice. I've subsequently attended Mystery School through the CMM. I've also completed training with Therapsil in Canada (psilocybin focus); and I've completed medicine facilitated work with Gathering - an online group that fosters connection, resilience, and growth.

TESTIMONIALS

Denise is an incredible facilitator. I am so honoured to work with her and be supported by her. She holds space as good or better than anyone I have worked with and uses her intuition to guide her in the right direction. The intentionality that she shows up with shows her true desire to serve and help others and her ability to navigate challenges and spontaneous experiences is incredible. She is nurturing, kind, and inspiring. When I work with her I feel as though I can accomplish anything. She doesn’t do the work for you, she provides you with all the tools so you can be motivated to do it yourself. ~ CF

Denise brings a soft and calm presence when she’s holding space. She made me feel very comfortable and was really clear about the psychedelic cannabis process. I very much appreciate Denise’s evocation of the divine feminine, her ability to create safety and her dedication to the process. I would definitely work with Denise again! ~ AM
