ROOTS
An ancestral breathwork experience to heal generational trauma
Saturday, February 22nd, 9am PT / 12pm ET
Virtual event
The trauma has to stop with us. Join us in this powerful breathwork experience to connect with the ancestors as we heal on a subconscious level, leveraging the power of the breath coupled with a curated musical journey from the African diaspora.
Why ROOTS?
ROOTS is a truly transformative experience that can help you:
Connect with your ancestors and tap into their wisdom and guidance
Heal intergenerational trauma
Gain insight into the root causes of problems in your life
Access creative downloads and inspiration
Improve your overall well-being and sense of inner peace
Generational trauma gets passed on until someone in the family has the courage to face it head on, and put an end to the vicious cycle. This trauma often lies in your subconscious mind, without your full awareness.
The ROOTS experience is a combination of a curated musical journey of Black composers and performers along with a specific breathing practice that will help you to access your subconscious mind and connect with the ancestors for the healing and guidance you need.
All you need are headphones, an eye mask, and a comfortable place to lie or sit down. You will receive exactly what you’re meant to receive at that moment.
What will be covered:
20 minutes: Calling in the Ancestors Ritual
45 minutes: Breathwork Journey
25 minutes: Discussion/Sharing
