Men’s Transformational Breathwork

We call this a coming home to ourselves.

We gather in honor of giving way for our humanity. Men are faced with the unachievable pressures of assuming perfection in the realms of work and finances, emotions, fatherhood, and in relationship. Trying to embrace the "perfect" form of what it means to be a man only enables a broken system.

Here we learn to welcome our fallibilities, our shame, our mistakes, our grief, our shadows, and so on... while celebrating in our victories. We turn towards our whole system that gives us the ability to inhabit our authenticity, rather than deny it.

We do this together. No more suffering in silence.

This breath practice is used as a way to move through an experience together and overcome challenges, to strengthen and deepen the ties of brotherhood in our community.

This practice has been adapted specifically for the gathering of men, to inspire the warrior within us to create and hold a container for the softness within our hearts. We believe the truth of a healthy warrior lies in his ability to deeply feel and experience suffering as well as the beauty in life, therefore being crystal clear on what he stands for and what he protects.

We will arrive together, create a group organism, use poetry as a medium to deepen into ourselves, experience the practice, and have an integration circle following.

To get more out of the breathwork practice it is recommended to not eat at least an hour and a half beforehand. Food is welcome during our integration circle. If you have asthma or specific heart conditions please reach out to Banks before joining. There will be light snacks provided to support grounding after the experience.
