Removing the armor between us : Breathwork, Vulnerability, and Connection
With Max Strom
2 hours - seminar includes lecture and breathwork
All levels welcome
We want so badly to be seen, yet we hide—covering ourselves with plates of armor. We want to be seen and heard, yet we camouflage ourselves and stifle our own voice. Even in romantic relationships, some of us never really allow ourselves to become emotionally vulnerable. This is why the process requires some conscious work in opening the heart center. Choosing to, every day anew, reveal the light within and receive the light and love from others. Learn how to build a bridge of deeper connection, meaningful friendship and true intimacy. The workshop includes lecture, writing, Q&A and breathwork. Join Max to gain insights and tools to help you improve your relationships.
Bring your writing materials.
