Summer Solstice Breathwork with Krista Reid

On Saturday, June 21st, we’ll gather in honor of the SUMMER SOLSTICE—the longest day of the year and a powerful turning point in the seasonal wheel. A time of full bloom, solar energy, and radiant expression, the SOLSTICE INVITES US TO RECONNECT WITH OUR VITALITY, clarity, and purpose. This workshop will be an opportunity to align with that energy through the breath, as we expand into the light of SUMMER WITH INTENTION AND PRESENCE.Breathwork is an active meditation that clears emotional residue, moves energy, and releases stored emotions. It leaves you feeling lighter, more open, and attuned to your intuition. The workshop begins with a guided meditation and sharing exercise to help participants identify what needs to shift/heal in their lives and their intentions for the session. You will then find a comfortable position lying down and be guided through the Breathwork for 35-40 minutes, all set to a cosmic soundtrack, and ending with deep relaxation. Your teacher: Krista is a certified breathwork teacher and facilitator, trained with David Elliott, with seven years of experience guiding this work. She has worked with thousands of people, trained over 40 facilitators, and has over 20 years of experience in health and wellness as a bodyworker. Breathwork has been a life-changing practice for her—one that helps move through limiting beliefs, strengthen intuition, and bring people into greater alignment with nature. She believes we all have the capacity to heal, and with the right tools, anything is possible.
