Have you been feeling extra stressed or a drop in your energy/creativity lately? Join local artist Tara Pappas and Breathwork Facilitator Sarah Stepans for a special workshop focused on encouraging play and experiencing the pure joy of creativity and using your breath for full emodiment! This workshop will be more process-based, as opposed to product based (painting a specific design), with participants learning intuitive artmaking - letting curiosity and your breath lead in the creative process.

This workshop is designed specifically for adults ages 18 and up, and art supplies and instruction will be provided. Just bring yourself and clothes you don't mind getting messy! For breathwork: bring a water bottle and any creature comforts for yourself, to make sure you are extra cozy (blankets, layers, etc.). We have limited yoga mats, blankets and bolsters. Please bring whatever will make you feel super comfortable.

Breathwork is a powerful practice using active meditation, initiating an active and intentional rhythmic breathing pattern that can be used to help regulate the nervous system, decrease stress, encourage embodiment, and much more. Breathwork has the potential to bring a state of relaxation and elation, it can also support processing of any imbalances and emotions in the body. Breathwork is an ongoing practice that can help individuals on many levels but approach this practice with expectation that it may require more sessions and be used in combination with other modalities of healing work.

**Breathwork has the potential to cause a strong emotional release and create strong physical sensations. Individuals may need to seek out additional support from other health care providers, due to intensity of this practice, specifically very strong emotional response.

Please arrive a few minutes early to make sure you can get comfortable.

Cost: Donation-based

Time: 10-12noon
