In November of 2024, my dear Soul Sister asked me if I wanted to go to a breathwork ceremony with her in Dundas because she thought it sounded like something I’d enjoy. As usual, she was right. It felt like come home.
As I sat more with this feeling of home, I noticed that nothing feels as warm and comforting to me as being around a fire. My first childhood home had a wood stove, campfires, fireplaces have all been magical places where memories are made, stories are told, music is shared. Watching the Embers of a fire has fascinated me. It is like those embers can breathe! Or dance with the music within the flames. There is this beautiful exchange needed to for a “good” fire. Embers need the fuel to keep that fire lit and the warmth expanding, building comfort, nourishing us. The balance of not too much and not enough air is what keeps those embers glowing beneath the wood and flames. A perfect balance of light and dark. To be tended. To be cherished. A place of connection. A place of stories. Of music. Of unconditional love and acceptance. A place where change can occur. Things are transmuted. Light and shadows are welcomed.
The choice to pursue Seven Directions®️Breathwork training was clear for me. First, the method of Conscious Connected Breathwork had a feel to it. There was a connection... not pause, not holding, not forcing, not counting. I could actually get my thinking brain out of the way and truly connect to the breath.
The second deciding factor was the training itself. I was surprised at how many different trainings are out there! What stood out to me was how this training resonated with my values. The training was 10 months and truly comprehensive including the biology, the spirit, a core ethical stance, is trauma-informed and had a practicum for in-depth instruction and feedback from beautiful mentors helped me grow my skills further. It is an internationally accredited program through GPBA (Global Professional Breathwork Alliance) and the International Breathwork Foundation. If I was going to take the step to start serving breath (I’m still getting used to this phrase), I was going to ensure I was going for quality!
Finally my Breathwork training had to be something that I felt would align with my other role/ career, and Seven Directions®️ Breathwork Being able to offer breath as a social worker and therapist in a way that upholds the integrity of this profession as well was imperative. I have spent 25 + years hearing stories and walking with individuals through their most challenging times. Sometimes words alone aren’t what is needed. The breath can step in. The ember can ignite.
