🗓️Join Vanessa & ._.bo_ for a Breathwork workshop!
📍Saturday 21st September 2PM - 4PM. Geneva

« Breath » comes from the Latin « spirare, » meaning to breathe or live. Breathing, essential to life, is crucial for maintaining or restoring health and well-being. While we know it oxygenates and detoxifies the body, we often overlook its impact on our psycho-emotional health and self-awareness. As the only system both involuntary and voluntary, conscious breathing allows us to influence our physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual states.

Dr. Clara Naudi notes, « The quality of our life can depend on the quality of our breath. »

Breathwork intensifies bodily sensations, enhances inner awareness, and opens space for healing by releasing tensions and blockages. In this session, we will explore the key concepts of Breathwork, take time to ground and connect, and dive into the practice of breathing. We’ll conclude with time for sharing and addressing any questions or concerns. 🌸

Alchemy Breathwork Session with Sébastien Fazan .alchimique 🔮✨

📍 2nd of March at 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM in Lausanne

🫁The Alchemy of Breath®️ is a technique that involves sustained, conscious, and connected breathing. This practice allows for a thorough physical and energetic cleansing. By releasing cellular memories, it enables the transformation of stored emotions in the body. Through the act of breathing, it facilitates a deep exploration of the self, accessing an expanded state of consciousness. This practice offers an opportunity to connect with the unconscious, revealing information from various levels of existence – physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. This heightened awareness activates our innate ability to heal ourselves, allowing us to revisit, integrate, and transform the experiences and memories that cause us suffering.

Similar to alchemy’s aim to transform lead into gold, Alchemy of Breath®️ teaches us to transmute our heavy and painful energies into liberating and radiant energies. Our breath is closely tied to our way of life. Typically, we only utilize 10% of our respiratory capacity and 10% of our brain. By enhancing our ability to integrate the vital energies of Prana, we open ourselves up to receiving more life, consciousness, and love. This practice is simple and accessible to everyone.

Join us for this beautiful practice ⬆️ book your spot now !
