Breath of the Feminine Heart – the art of conscious breathing

Description

Breath of the feminine heart – the art of conscious breathing 

A 6 week Online Breathwork Journey for Women
Wednesdays 6-8pm live on zoom: 21 Jan, 28 Jan, 4 Feb, 11 Feb

With Talitha Kotzé

Through guided Breathwork, embodied practice, and sacred community, we gather in presence where each woman’s breath deepens her own awakening and strengthens the collective field.

Each week explores a different layer of the breath, drawing on the foundations of Conscious Connected Breathwork (CCB):

• Continuous circular breathing to allow you bypassing the thinking mind
• Awakening the body’s innate intelligence for emotional release, conscious awareness and embodied feminine wisdom
• Cultivating deep presence and safety in the body
• Diaphragmatic/Abdominal, thoracic and clavicular breathing
• The art of breath retentions
• Exploring non-ordinary states of consciousness
• Deep nervous system restoration and full-body relaxation
• Intentional breathing to influence brain wave states
• Soft discipline, surrender and trust
• Gentleness as power
• Breath as both tool and teacher
• Breath as spiritual practice

TESTIMONIALS:

“This is such an extraordinary medicine journey of discovering, unfolding, releasing and expanding, especially over a lunar cycle with a group of women journeying together! I am loving it so much that I have joined the next cycle too!” – Tania Jenkins

What a beautiful thing to be held in this container and to reflect back to the beginning and the little road it’s been. I feel like last night’s session was the final something… release, spiral, level… I said to my bestie… I think I’m back! I feel “myself” for the first time in months, and in last night’s session my body confirmed that. I’m so in awe of the power of the breath. Yoh! The body always knows. So humbled and so grateful. Your space felt sooooo deeply safe and gentle and deep. So happy I said yes.” – Bridget Malherbe

“I absolutely loved online. I didn’t think I would but it was a little personal container and so I didn’t feel watched and could let my body and emotions do what it wanted without the fear of it being too much or too intense. All in all it was a very pleasant, ecstatic, transformative experience.” – Lisa Rae Fabing

“That was beyond words and incredibly profound, deeply moving, expansive, and humbling. My heart is full of gratitude, awe, and reverence for you and the sacred work you’re holding in the world.” – Mira Weiner
