FACILITATED BY: Fumiha Tanaka & Nami Soga
EXCHANGE: $55-$99 Sliding Scale
In this workshop, Nami and Fumiha come together to hold space to strengthen our inner visions and to deepen our connections to our spirit dragons. We will talk about planetary alignments of the fall and the rest of the year, and meet our local plant guide for this season, Goldenrod, Solidago canadensis spp.
Goldenrod is a plant that supports us to ride through transitions, and with the light of Goldenrod within, we will explore the deeper state of consciousness through breath, somatic experience and sound journey. Let’s ride the back of our dragons and move through this potent portal for radical transformation. Breath is the conduit of life and consciousness.
Many cultures utilized breath as a way to heal and to connect with the deeper understanding Self. During this gathering, you will be guided to use the breath for release and cleansing to prepare the fertile soil within. Breathwork is a somatic modality that can help us access and process feelings, memories, energies that are stored in our bodies while also achieving spiritual expansion.
In our session, we will work through different conscious diaphragmatic breathing techniques, incorporating the use of your voice and movement of your body. For those who are pregnant, or have conditions such as epilepsy, glaucoma, high blood pressure without medication, or cardiovascular conditions, and if you have questions or concerns, please reach out to Fumiha at fmtishere@gmail.com prior to the workshop.

Paying It Forward
We provide most of our community offerings and private sessions by sliding scale. This is based on the idea of ‘paying it forward’ which enables more people to access healing and wellness. This works when people pay as much as they can for our offerings to help others who may be less fortunate be able to gain access, too. We believe everyone is entitled to heal and thrive, and that practitioners deserve to earn a living wage. We are all in this together and choose to do our best to take care of one another. Thank you for being part of the MINKA community!
