Our Breath, Our Planet: A Journey Through Climate Grief
Monthly, First Tuesday
5pm PST/6pm MST/ 8pm EST
The Intro
Climate Grief is an emotional response to the loss of ecosystems, species, habitats, clean water & air. The health of our ecosystems and the wellbeing of humanity are deeply intertwined. Whether we acknowledge it or not, we are intimately connected to the Earth, and its suffering impacts us on both physical and emotional levels. Just as pollution clogs the air we breathe, it also weighs on our hearts. In Chinese Medicine, the lungs, governor of our breath & Qi, and is linked to the emotion of grief, holding the weight of both personal and collective loss.
In this time of unprecedented environmental destruction, you may find yourself grieving for the loss of forests, the drying rivers, and the extinction of species. Perhaps anxiety over the future—for your children, for humanity—has filled your heart. This space is designed for you to feel these emotions fully, to honor them, and to breathe through them, so that we may move forward together with renewed clarity, strength, and hope.
Not only does this all affect our emotions, but also our health. The planets health and our personal health are inextricably intertwined and we need to reclaim our connection to heal. We all feel powerless at times in the face of the industrial destruction of ecosystems. This work gives the opportunity to connect with others taking practical actions to amend the climate, to invigorate the warrior within to stand up and advocate for the Earth, and leave space to tune in to the feeling under the anger and upset.
The Flow
At the start of the 65 minute call we will gather as a global community welcoming, sharing, and setting the space. This will be followed by some insightful mindfulness practices and meditation. Then we will engage in the feelings and go through a 30-45 minute breath work portal. This is a transformative experience from the roots of Yogic practice. No experience necessary, you will be supported the whole way through. Then we will come back together and there will be some practical tools shared for deeper connection to the Natures Rhythms based on ancient wisdom traditions and permaculture knowledge. This is a donation-based offering. You can come for FREE and if you are inclined to support my work you may.

Facilitator Background
My own journey with breathwork began in 2018 during a deeply moving moment. It began with discussing the tragic separation of immigrant families at U.S. Immigration + Customs Enforcement (I.C.E.) with my close friend. Then walking down to a performance stage just after feeling the heartbreak of mothers separated from their children, we found a child crying lost and helped them reunite with their parents. We were going to listen to a man from RAICES a nonprofit organization in Texas working to support immigrant families safety and wellbeing. During that talk I experienced an intense emotional release and cried a deep cry with my friend for all of the tragedy happening in our country at that time. After the presentation called "Bridges over Boarders" closed, the crowd was guided to take a deep breath, hold it, and then exhale with a powerful scream whatever needed to be released.
In that instant, I had a vision of two parallel realities: one of darkness and suffering between families, the other of harmony, mothers with their children, living in connection with the Earth. There was much more detail to all of this I cannot put into words and it would distract from the point. This visceral experience of release, fueled by conscious breathing, was life-changing. It set me on a path to study breathwork for a year, during which I discovered its ability to release emotional blockages, resolve mental struggles, and foster inner warrior like strength to face the external world.
