A reminder of our Workshop Agreements
In Vermilion we pride ourselves in holding a strong container for people to explore their edges, meet themselves and others as mirrors and to expand and grow. We welcome you to explore and play in this space, whilst following our agreements:
Vermilion workshop agreements:
- Do not share anything that occurred in this space outside the space, this includes in other containers within Vermilion.
- Do not identify anyone who was present at the workshop, without verbal or written consent.
- Do not give advice unless asked for.
- No cross talk / interrupting.
- Ask consent prior to offering reflections or impact.
- Honour self and others.
- Don't assume anyone's gender or sexual preferences.
Weekly practise
As a well-being community we want to offer you some practises to support you through your week.
This week we are offering you a simple breathing technique:
Box Breath Level 1
Take 5 minutes. Set a timer. Count the same number of seconds for
1) inhale
2) hold your breath with full lungs
3) exhale
4) hold your breath with empty lungs.
Begin with 5 seconds each side (one breath = 20 seconds total) keep going for 5 minutes then take at least one minute to rest integrate and notice any sensations in your body.
In time you can increase the amount of time for the breaths and holds.
Keep your body relaxed throughout, apart from perhaps a slight engagement of your abs so your belly button stays a little tucked in, you are still breathing into your abdomen first then your chest exhaling the same abdomen first then chest.
Let us know how you get on!
Workshop timings reminder
ALL of our Vermilion events are set in GMT time zones at the moment. We will be expanding our reach in 2021 to cover alternative timezones. Sometimes Facebook is rather confused and offers workshop timings in UTC time zone, which is rather confusing! Please bare with us as we try and figure how to get around this. All solutions are welcome!
Thank you!
Thank you for everything you are bringing to our community, your presence and engagement is a delight, we hope to see you again soon.
With love and gratitude,
Drew and Emerald
Fennel and our totally epic Vermilion Community Members
