Therapeutic Breathwork, or Conscious Connected Breathing is a practice developed to bring about deep change. By facilitating movement through the different kinds of repression that limit our ability to fully experience life; breathwork works to identify and integrate both the physical and psychic parts of ourselves. Modern trauma research confirms that repression lives in the body, on a deep level, sometimes hard to find; even in the most dedicated efforts to diagnose and treat.

This style of Breathwork is akin to holotropic breathing; holotropic meaning “moving towards wholeness”. It is an active meditation, with the breath, that brings us into an expanded state of consciousness. In a cyclic, slightly-faster-than-normal-paced breathing pattern, we breathe to a set of curated musical accompaniment that supports and augments the experience.Therapeutic Breathwork is an effective and powerful tool for exploring ourselves; traversing the emotional, physical, and energetic bodies. This conscious practice allows what may be buried in the psyche, or embedded within the structure of the body, to arise and be processed in a safe and supportive container. It allows us to be in our bodies; held in a space of radical presence and Self-nurturing.

Oftentimes we are left feeling lighter, spacious, grounded and aligned after the session. Breathwork is a powerful and accessible tool for those of us who struggle with anxiety, stress, depression, substance use, pain, grief, trauma, insomnia, and more. It is also a great tool for encountering the Self, ever-more intimately, while building self-love, agency, and empowerment. I’ve experienced Breathwork transform many lives, as it has my own.

MARY OLIVER + THE QUEST OF OPENNESS: Are you willing?

with Shawn Parell + David Keplinger

Livestream + In Studio

Friday, January 24 | 1:30 - 3:30pm, 5:30 - 8:00pm

Saturday, January 25 | 2:00 - 7:00pm

This two day workshop will use Mary Oliver’s work to explore the phenomenon of openness in body, mind, and spirit. Through somatic inquiry, meditation, and movement, psychotherapist and yogi Shawn Parell and poet David Keplinger will guide participants over the course of two days/three sessions covering the major works of Mary Oliver’s more than fifty-year career.

"Five years after her death, I have begun to write and speak publicly about my lucky and long-time association with Mary Oliver, as enigmatic a poetic figure as Rumi, to whom she is often compared. Without a doubt, Mary’s personal influence and encouragement changed the direction of my life. Her poetry continues to do the same for millions of readers whom she had never met. What are the ingredients to this intimacy of voice? Where are the essential designs behind her poems across the stages of her career? In her essay, “The Swan,” she wrote that she demands three things of every poem: an honest energy, a genuine body, and a spiritual purpose. In these talks, with time set aside for discussion and questions, we will study the ways these rules apply to some of her beloved poems, with our emphasis falling on the theme of openness and willingness which threaded through her work in all its manifestations."

- David Keplinger

“Like many of you, my earliest yoga experiences were infused with Mary Oliver’s poetry—which reminds me of how we don’t just read poetry; we embody it. At its best, reading a poem can be a full-bodied, integrative practice wherein the “soft animal” within us can tap into the universal body of experience at the heart of poetry. By weaving meditation and yoga practices throughout this 2-day program, we’ll steep in the wisdom of Mary’s poetry and David’s artful teachings.”

-Shawn Parell
