Come join us tonight to explore the dynamics of the breath.
We'll begin by briefly sharing our joys and concerns and our Spirit of Life song. Our speaker tonight is Patricia Prema. She has been a Breathwork Practitioner since 1987 and been assisting others to awaken to the truth of themselves since then.

Through the use of Conscious Connected Breathing, she was personally able to release thoughts & memories that no longer served her and to create a more conscious & happy life. Through breathing consciously, we can move forward in life emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually in a vibration of love rather than fear.

Tonight, Patricia will lead us through an exercise which will allow us to experience a taste of what focusing on our breath consciously can do for us. And in turn, contribute peace and upliftment in the world.. (Read more about Patricia at https://breathworkers.org.nz/breathwork-practitioner.../)

SOUND
The quartz crystal sound bowls bring us into a deeply restorative meditative state. By moving us into the alpha-theta brainwave state, our parasympathetic nervous system is activated, and our body can start to restore and repair.

MOVEMENT
As water moves to renew and recharge itself, so do we. Sometimes we store energy in our body. We can choose to move this energy through awareness, breath and movement. Allowing the river of life to move freely through us once again.

JOURNEY
When we go on a journey, we start at one point, go through a transformation, and come to a new point of awareness. Going on a journey to discover, learn and grow. Life is one big journey. We can craft each journey with intention, love and presence. To follow our nature of change in this evolutionary, embodied, human experience.
