Join Dana Damara for a special Breathwork Workshop!
You don’t need to go on a psychedelic “trip” to feel the essence of magic in your own body. Breathwork will do the “work” for you to release, and transform stagnate energy, old wounds, and dysfunctional patterns so you can regain lost soul parts and remember the magic of who you truly are.
In this Workshop, you’ll journey through Breathwork and close with a nurturing sound healing session, leaving you feeling balanced and renewed. Join Dana for this powerful experience!

Join us for an insightful panel where we will explore the full spectrum of changes during this journey and how a holistic, integrative approach can help restore equilibrium.
