Our Trauma-Informed Breathwork + Acupuncture gatherings are a space to pause, release stress, and reconnect with your resilience in community.
Each event blends guided meditation, somatic breathwork, deep rest, and acupuncture-supported integration. You do not have to arrive “fixed” or know exactly what you need—just come as you are and give yourself space to breathe, feel, and restore.
