Take a deep breath… and let it out.
This special 2-hour workshop is a space to pause, reflect, and heal through breath and poetry. Let It Out! is designed for anyone seeking calm in the chaos — especially furloughed government workers navigating uncertainty and change.
Together, we’ll breathe, write, and release what’s been weighing on us. Through guided breathwork and creative writing, we’ll tap into peace, resilience, and community. No experience is needed — just come as you are, with an open heart and a willingness to exhale.
This gathering is all about returning to yourself.

We’ll start by grounding ourselves, setting intentions, and creating shared agreements to hold space for each other.

We’ll close in gratitude, affirm one another, and take one last deep breath together.

No pressure, no performance — just presence, poetry, and breath.
Come join us, and let’s breathe through it together.
