370. How I have been facilitating breathwork for recovery groups for 7 years
In 2017 and 2018 I was one of the first in Southern California to receive grant funding from the state of California to implement holistic healing art programs in clinical populations. I was able to put in programming at women’s shelters, veterans legions, low income schools, and recovery centers. This work was a pivotal moment where breathwork, Sound healing, and meditation practices were just seeing their ways into a non-aesthetic wellness space. And when I founded The Healing Arts Academy, often referred to as the graduate school for healing arts by my students 🥸✍🏽, and my decolonized Breathwork facilitator training school rooted in wisdom traditions , it continued to be very important to consider the actual impact our Facilitators were creating outside of social media. Who were the actual recipients of our work? Who are we really holding space for? What kind of practitioners were we becoming as a collective? Could we be soft, grounded, and safe for folks in so many different walks of life? I hope you take something away from this reflection and apply it to the impact that you’d like to make your own communities as well. Perhaps you also want to write grants and put programming into your communities. Perhaps you are an educator who wants to change curriculum in your school system. Perhaps your path isn’t fully clarified, but you want support in that. I wanted to let you know that Mystic Codes, a high touch three month immersion and mastermind for healers is open to you. We’re beginning on the fall equinox, shedding old identities, and creating actual impact of healing in the world. If you’re down to take the ride with me, you can check out the link or send me a DM. It’s time to activate your codes✨ alwaysplay.org/mystic
