The Inner Art of Breathing

Empowered Relief®

A breathworkshop

Facilitated by Samvedam Randles, Dipl. Psych., LMHC and Astrid Rothmund Lewis, PT

Most of us leave our breathing patterns in the realm of the unconscious and have not learned to consciously use our breath to influence how we feel.

That can change in this one week end workshop, where you will explore how to engage your breathing to downregulate your nervous system or clear your emotional channels.

FAMILY CONSTELLATION WORKSHOPS

Introduction to Family Constellations
Creating flow

Facilitated by Samvedam Randles, Dipl. Psych., LMHC

Tomorrow is only the future if we create it anew. So often we tend to repeat the past, are stuck in certain patterns that don’t allow us to create a new flow.

Family Constellation is a unique form of ancestral healing that addresses the places in ourselves or our family systems, where the flow of life is inhibited.

We can never change what happened in our lives, but we can certainly understand it and process it through new understandings.

Integrating past hurts and releasing the ghosts of the past open us up to create a future that does not repeat past patterns.

Instead, you experience a new freedom to choose your own creativity on your life path.

This freedom is priceless!

If you’d like to explore this option, please join us for one of our workshops in constellations scheduled throughout New England. To learn how to prepare for a constellation workshop, visit our page here for more information.

We will send you further information upon registration.
