Beltane Breathwork Ceremony

Come breathe into the aliveness this time of year offers you. 

Beltane - the mid point between the Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice - is a fire festival, celebrating the fertility of the earth and potency of life, sexuality and union. 

Beltane energy is one of reverence for all of life. Now is the time to be clear about your direction. Reach out for what it is you desire, for everything is possible at this peak of Spring and beginning hints of Summer time. So as we move into the most active time of year with all of life bursting around us, we can both harness and center this energy by bringing our awareness and breath to it. 

Come celebrate your potential and breathe into the direction you wish to take, your desires and dreams for the months ahead - this conscious connected breathwork practice offers you the opportunity to:

• breath through and release what is no longer serving you as you move into the Spring/Summer months
• gain clarity and insights ready for the months ahead
• move forward feeling more grounded and connected
• process emotions and release stress
• regulate your nervous system, supporting relaxation and better sleep to support these full Spring/Summer days

Connect to the bursting Spring into Summer energy to support your positive actions for change for yourself, your community and the wider world.

You may simply want to come with an open intention of meeting whatever arises for you with your breath as your guide, and this is really welcome too!

The Celtic calendar/Wheel of the Year has eight festivals throughout the year with the solstices, equinoxes and cross-quarters. Michelle’s intention is to hold a seasonal breathwork ceremony for each festival, offering you the opportunity to connect to and honour both the wider and your own personal seasonal shifts throughout the year. Connecting to the wheel of the year can be a helpful way of making meaning; noticing, anchoring and grounding through the cycles and seasons of our wider body of nature and our interconnectedness.

A bit more about Conscious Connected Breathwork…

This form of breathwork  is a powerful and dynamic practice of open mouth circular breathing - meaning breathing continuously without pausing - usually done lying down with eyes closed to music. This can provide the opportunity for  releasing stress, integrating trauma and/or old patterns, gaining clarity and insights, relaxation, regulating your nervous system, connecting to your heart and higher self, and a variety of other possible experiences. Many experience a deep sense of calm and peace, becoming more open to joy and even bliss. 

Breathwork can significantly support the development of your relationship with your emotional body and nervous system, creating space for the body to process emotions you may be carrying. 

This practice is not about seeking a cathartic experience or pushing to reach an altered state, that might happen but it’s not the goal here. The invitation will be to go gently, with your breath as your guide.

Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness. Thich Nhat Hanh
