We will start with grounding breath work to tonify the lungs, then move into deep stretching for flexibility. We will gradually develop more engaging postures to empower and strengthen our bodies.

Friday Evening Sound Bath
January, 17th, 7:30-9 pm
Come and wind down after your busy week. Lie down, get comfortable, and receive healing vibrations. I will cover you with cotton blankets and support your body with pillows, bolsters, and eye coverings. For one whole, glorious hour, I will bathe you in the most exquisite, vibrational sounds created by drums, rainsticks, rattles, dulcimer, hand pan, Planetary Paiste gongs, crystal singing bowls, shruti box, vocables, chimes, tuning forks and more.
Be prepared to drop deeply into an altered state of consciousness (theta brain state) where deep restoration and healing can occur.
I have comfy mattresses, blankets, pillows, etc. so there is no need to bring anything. Wear comfortable clothes and please avoid wearing perfume.

Guelph Conscious Dance
Saturday, Jan. 18th, 7:30-9 pm
Conscious dance leads participants on a movement journey of physical and emotional transformation. Through breath, sweat, and expression, participants experience themselves as pure powerful energy.
Conscious dance is not about learning steps, it’s about allowing what is invisible within us (emotions, sensations, images, impulses) to be expressed through our unique movement and style. It activates the imagination and utilizes diverse music to create an ecstatic celebration of the human spirit.
The music will follow an arc, beginning with slower, grounding music, building up to faster dance beats intended to invite release, and then transitioning back down to prayerful music. There is no right or wrong way to move. Best to simply show up and "be moved".
Check out this YouTube video of me explaining conscious dance.
Arrive between 7:15 and 7:30 p.m. The street-level doors will be locked by 7:35 p.m. The dance will start at 7:30 and end at 9 p.m.
Where: 42 Quebec Street, 3rd floor, Guelph, On.
Cost: $20 cash at the door or e-transfer: breathetrue@gmail.com

Shaluha-Ka
On-Going
Shaluha-Ka is both a healing technique and a meditation practice based on the ancient Kabbalah Tree of Life. It was taught to me by Chaty Secaira, founder of Las Pyramides Meditation Centre in San Marcos, Guatemala. I have embellished this healing modality to include sacred cacao, intention setting with animal spirit guides, auric cleansing of the 4 elements in the body, and sound healing.
Kabbalah, an ancient mystical tradition rooted in Judaism, offers a profound lens through which to perceive the universe and the human experience. The Tree of Life is a symbolic diagram representing the divine structure of creation (the language of the branches) and the interconnectedness of all existence.
In this 1.5-hour long, private session, I will take you through a series of beautiful, insightful practices to help you relax, clear your energy field, and gain personal clarity.

"Barbra tailored my very own personal yoga flow, she was very helpful with making sure the yoga poses and breathing techniques were done properly to avoid any injuries. Thank you for opening up your space, I greatly appreciated it."

Private Sound Healing
On-Going
Sound healing penetrates a person's mind, emotions, and body to help bring them to states of deep relaxation. If you suffer from insomnia, anxiety, depression, or grief, this modality can help you to release and restore. Sound healing is also a wonderful way to simply treat yourself to a beautiful experience where you are bathed in drones, musical instruments, vocal toning, and vibrational frequencies that are known for their restorative qualities.
I offer several different thematic sound healing sessions. All are beautiful, deep, and extremely relaxing. Typically, a session takes 1.5 hours and the person leaves feeling rested and restored.

"Barbara (Eva) has delivered her sound healing sessions at a number of my meditation retreats. She has a refined intuitive ability to know what soundings have the greatest healing effect on participants. I highly recommend her sessions." Russell Scott.
