Every human, firefighter, first responder, and veteran deserve the opportunity to thrive in this lifetime. Overwhelm, stress, distraction, depression, and anxiety prevent many of us from fully experiencing thriving. Breath of Fire can help bring you closer to this balanced state.

Transformational Breathwork is not just another technique or protocol, it is an experience. This style of breathwork has the potential to offer deep healing, growth, creativity, connection, surrender, support, and love.

From a peer support and mental health perspective these experiences have huge benefits. The focus is to help first responders and their partners manage stress, anxiety, depression through behaviors/practices on the front end that prevent a critical overload or breaking point.

Many individuals and first responders spend the majority of their waking hours hyper vigilant and in their head problem solving and rationalizing. This is a challenging state to rest, heal, and grow in.

This experience is a full somatic experience.

In other words, you will have the opportunity to set down your armor, fully surrender, get into an altered state of consciousness that shifts perspective, and allows you to connect with your body.

In our body is where we often store unprocessed emotions, trauma, etc. This physical practice can acknowledge and even move, shift, or release that energy. Music and vibrational sound also have the ability to affect our consciousness. Stacking these together creates a very powerful experience. If this peaks your curiosity, come join us. Come experience transformational breathwork stacked with an electronic music vibrational journey.

There will be Tibetan singing bowls rang on each participant during the journey, along with reiki being performed on participants. Anyone experiencing anxiety, fear, or blocks related to the experience is invited to come early and receive an Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) or “tapping” session to prepare them for the journey.
