FREEDOM ~ ECSTATIC BREATHWORK at the Weho Sanctuary ~ Wed 7/7, 7:30-9pm

Since The Hub is closed July 4th, I will not be teaching that day....however, I WILL be leading an ECSTATIC BREATHWORK group on Wednesday night here in the Weho Sanctuary:

Freedom

What is True Freedom?  It cannot be given or taken.  It is within.  It is here. And it can be tasted, lived, and fully embodied.  Ecstatic Breathwork is a tool for diving deeper into this Freedom.  

Breath Deep. Heart Awake. Body Soft. Attention Clear.

Join Us.

These workshops are for all levels of experience and are nothing less than a tool for setting yourself free.  We’ll use a simple yet powerful breathing meditation as the linchpin for the work.  I call it ECSTATIC BREATHWORK.

When:   Wednesday, July 7th, 2010
Time:       7:30-9:00pm

Exchange:   $40  (no one turned away)

Where:  1226 Havenhurst Dr. #9

The Practice, An Anchor in Uncertainty ~ Wed, Feb 3, 7:30-9pm

AN ANCHOR in UNCERTAINTY

Have you ever felt uncertain?  Is there anything you’re uncertain about now?  So many of us are finding ourselves faced with the “unknown” right now...around work, relationships, finance, where to live, doing work that we feel aligned with and being abundantly compensated for it, and more.  There are anchors during times of uncertainty.  Come ready to discover yours, or deepen your relationship with an existing anchor.  When it’s time to shed an old layer of skin, like a snake does, if you don’t know what’s on the inside, what you can trust, it can feel like a part of you is dying...like there may be something to fear and pull back from, when moving forward is best.  Come anchor into the breath...let it guide you towards deeper roots into clarity, trust, faith, and knowing.  It’s time, and you’re ready...even if you don’t know what you’re ready for!


Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010  7:30-9:00pm

We’re calling this event THE PRACTICE, and it’s for ALL levels of experience with the Breath.  It happens for now in the sanctity of my healing space in West Hollywood.  Reserve your space as soon as you know you’ll be coming, as it fills up quickly...

We’ll set some intention very quickly in the beginning, and then get right down to the business of the Breathwork; an ancient 3-part breathing meditation that takes you beyond the dream of the limited ego experience....into the space of GRACE, the space of KNOWING, the space of deep REJUVENATION.

This is designed to be a place to work deeply with the breath and build /strengthen the muscles for your home practice.

ARRIVE on-time or better yet, early.  No one will be admitted after the breathwork begins to honor and support the safe space created for The Work.

When:   Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

The Practice, The Blank Canvas ~ Wed, Jan 6, 7:30-9pm

BEGINNER’S MIND ~ BLANK CANVAS

The gift of a blank canvas is pure potentiality.  Anything can be created.  Nothing is expected.  Everything is possible.  We’ll gather for the first Practice of the New Year, calling on the power of the breath, beginner’s mind, humor, and intention.  Whether you feel like you’re still carrying pieces of past on your back, or you’re a wide open vessel, we’ll dive together into the space of pregnant emptiness, the space of creation and dissolution.  Bring your intentions for 2010, or come to discover your intentions.  Either way, arrive.

The Practice - Tonight!

We’re coming up on a Full Moon this Friday, followed two days later by Mercury going into Retrograde for 3 full weeks. It’s a great opportunity for lightening your load....purging things you no longer need, use, or that just feed on your energy without giving anything in exchange. It’s a time to become more clear about your past and how it’s brought you to this moment. It’s a time to become more grounded and clear about where you want to go next, and building up your lifeforce, and putting one foot in front of the other to carry you there...so we will gather together once again:

Transformative Grace, Simple Breath

I just got back last night from the East Coast with the work, the 3-hr Breathwork Immersion: Alchemy of Transformation was held at Virayoga in Soho, followed the next day with an afternoon workshop up at MindBodySoulYoga in Ft. Washington amid the drumbeat of near monsoon rains, finishing with a Full Moon/Eclipse workshop where 40 people and 2 Didgeridoo Masters took the breath to levels I’d not yet seen before as a group. Then 4 days with friends in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. It was a time for me to integrate the last number of months within myself, and refresh my intentions and my batteries in the bursting green woods.

And now, and now....back here in LA we dive into the work once again with Tonight’s The Practice. There are still spaces available, so if you’re feeling the call, reach me on 310-922-4890 to reserve your spot.

Love,
Scott
