Opening Sunday, December 22nd, from 12PM - 1:30PM

oin us for “Breath | Body: Collective Sigh” with Silvia Inés Gonzalez, organized by Rhonda Wheatley. Brunch included.

What do you want to be free of/from?
What do you want to transform?
What do you want to build after the release?
What do you want to manifest?
Breath | Body: Collective Sigh is a release, reflection, and manifestation workshop that invites the body to take the breaths it needs. It will be a time to consider the ways our body organizes within itself to heal as well as the ways our collective functioning operates to manifest larger socio-political liberation. Through breathing techniques, we will work to meditate and check in with the different areas of our physical selves. As a form of release, we will be creating and archiving the quieter sounds of release during a sort of close-out participatory performance. Please wear comfortable clothing.
