The Art of Calm

A 6-Week breathwork and Meditation Series

Begins on Wednesday, October 14th

This 6-week series combines the science and art of “Breathontology,” (breathwork as taught by Berdhanya Swami Tierra), to give you an introduction to powerful breath sequences to heal and refresh your whole being!

What is Breathontology?

Breathontology is the science of using the breath as a powerful tool to connect with the body’s natural healing properties to regain balance, harmony and overall health.

It is drawn from the science of Hatha Yoga.  Specific breathontology sequences are designed  by combining: gentle spinal warm-ups, breath patterns, sound resonance and meditation 

We take the science behind all of the pranayamas and mantras and rearrange them in a way that supports you in constantly creating new possibilities for your wellness.

How does it work?

It reprograms the patterns of the mind.  It helps with the transition humanity is going through.  Breath with intention and a sequence of breathing creates new patterns.  Our habitual belief systems are breathing all the time and we are not aware.  Breathoneology restructures the patterns, reprograms them and purifies cellular memories.  The level of oxygenation increases and you get detached from emotional dramas, the mind becomes sharp and you are able to rest.  You become neutral, calm, effective and begin trusting you can heal yourself.

Who is it for?

Breathontology is accessible to all ages and all levels of experience.

What are the benefits?

Students who have practiced breathontology regularly report:

• Enhanced lung capacity
• Increased energy
• Greater mental focus
• Reduction in body pain and inflammation
• More self-acceptance
• Less looping thoughts
• Greater emotional resilience
• Less emotional reactivity
• Reduction in anxiety
• Feeling more calm, peaceful, joyful, radiant

What to expect from this 6-week series

This series is about relaxing and healing.  A tense body and mind cannot heal.  You will learn how to direct the most powerful tool you naturally possess, your breath, to purify old programs, recharge your cells, strengthen your nervous system and empower your self-healing.

Each class will begin with some short teachings about the theme of the week, before you are guided into the experiential learning through your body and breath.

This series is an in person group experience.  There is a powerful energy that happens when a group of people sit together in synchronized breathing and meditation.  The group energy is expansive and uplifting.  New connections are made with like-minded souls, and our sense of belonging is heightened.

Your commitment:

The science of yoga says that it takes 40 days for your physiology to create new and lasting habits.  We ask that you commit to attending all of the classes and to maintaining a short daily breathing practice for the duration of the 6 weeks together.

Monthly Healing Circle

Next Healing Circle:

Saturday, October 24th, 2-3pm

As a breathwork and meditation teacher, I have witnessed the transformative power of presence and conscious breathing. Bringing that together with focused, heart-centred group connection and intention feels potent and full of unlimited potentiality for healing on all levels of being.

If you are navigating:• Physical challenges• Emotional pain• Life transitions• Mental overload or stress• Overwhelm• A longing for soul recovery

This circle is for you.

And perhaps even more importantly…

If you are tired of trying to fix yourself…Tired of analyzing every thought…Tired of isolating and doing the healing work alone…

This circle is for you.

What if you didn’t have to solve or try to save yourself?

What if you could soften instead?

What if you could step out of isolation and into a field of compassion, resonance, and shared humanity?

In this circle, you will both give and receive. You will experience yourself not only as someone in need of healing, but as a powerful collective healer. Together, we create a field of healing frequency that transforms limitations into unlimited potentiality. How exciting is that?!

Align your heart with the hearts of others who share the intention of a vibrant, loving, healed humanity who remember their limitlessness!

If this speaks to you, I would be honoured to hold this space with you!

Healing Boundaries

Reclaiming Self-Worth and Dignity

Healthy boundaries are the foundation of self-respect, authentic relationships, and emotional safety. In this workshop, we examine where boundaries may feel rigid, porous, or unclear. Through somatic awareness, breath practices, and group reflection, you’ll strengthen your ability to say yes and no from a grounded, empowered place — without guilt or fear.

Does fear ever make you feel smaller than the life you know you’re meant to live?

Have you built protective fences to keep yourself safe, only to find that they leave you feeling more isolated, frustrated, or disconnected from yourself?

Many of us create these fences as a reaction to fear. We believe they will protect us, but often they quietly cut us off from our own clarity, confidence, and sense of direction.

True boundaries arise from a very different place. They are not built from fear, but from love; from honouring your own impeccability. Impeccability is not about being perfect or always being right. It is about listening deeply to what is most true for you in each moment and allowing your actions to come from that truth.

When we act from this coherent place, where body, mind, and emotions are aligned, we naturally know when to say no, when to say enough, when to step back, and when to walk away. These choices uphold our dignity and self-respect.

From here, boundaries are not rigid walls. They become living expressions of self-respect that allow our hearts to feel safe enough to come forward and lead.

Our hearts carry the essence of who we are, the unique spark, creativity, and aliveness of our soul. When our boundaries arise from love rather than fear, they create the conditions for that essence to flow freely and be expressed in the world.

In my upcoming workshop, we will explore how to recognize the fences created by fear and how to cultivate boundaries that honour your truth, your self-worth, your dignity, and the wisdom of your heart.

What to expect from this workshop:

• empowering spiritual teachings on boundaries
• experiential self-awareness process to explore the theme of boundaries
• a breathwork sequence, meditation and vibrational frequency to strengthen the aura
• Introduction to a daily prayer for self-worth and dignity
• Group sharing and feeback

Where: 2-40 Chemin Vanier, Aylmer, Quebec (7 minutes from the Island Park Bridge

Healing Limited Beliefs

Awakening to your limitless nature!

Do any of these phrases sound familiar to you?  “I can’t do it because I don’t have enough money, experience, time, etc, etc, etc….”  “Life is so hard.”  “I don’t belong.”  “I’m not good enough, smart enough, worthy.”  And the big one, “What will other people think?”

All of these phrases are limited beliefs that come from your subconscious mind and are running in the background all the time as you engage in your life.  And because we have invested so much energy into maintaining these beliefs as our “truth,” our reality gets formed by them.  

You may wonder why things don’t change for you, or why you keep repeating the “same old thing over and over again,”  It is because of these limiting beliefs.  

So, how do we stop running these old programs?  First, we have to become aware of them, seeing them clearly without judgment.  Then, we can choose a more expansive reality.  

In this 3 hour workshop, we will take a very intimate look at some of your favourite limiting beliefs.  We’ll see how they have served you in your life, because there is always a positive in all of our choices.  Then, through your kindness, compassion and sincerity, we’ll open the doorway through a powerful transformative ceremony to vibrate from a more expansive place…a place that gives you the freedom to be more authentically yourself.  True inner freedom arises when your realize you are no longer at the mercy of your limited beliefs.  

Relate to your true nature…experience your limitlessness!

Healing Speech and Resonance

Upgrade your resonance, ignite your presence!

Your voice carries your truth, your boundaries, and your creative power. In this workshop, we explore how unspoken emotions, suppressed expression, and fear of judgment impact your ability to communicate authentically. Through breath, vocal resonance practices, and intentional sharing, you’ll reconnect with the clarity, confidence, and energetic alignment of your true voice.

Your voice is not just sound—it is a living expression of your truth, your boundaries, and your creative power.

Voice, tone, and resonance shape how you are received. The voice is your instrument, formed by breath and vibration. Tone carries your emotional reality, often revealing more than words. Resonance is what gives your voice depth and presence—it is the imprint of how fully you inhabit yourself.

When expression has been held back—through fear, conditioning, or unspoken emotion—the voice can become constrained, fragmented, or unclear. These patterns don’t just affect how you speak, but how you show up, relate, and create.

In this workshop, we work with breath, vibration, and conscious expression to restore flow and coherence in the voice. As the body opens and the breath deepens, the voice naturally strengthens—becoming more grounded, more precise, and more aligned with what is true.

This is a space to reclaim your voice as a source of clarity, authority, and resonance—so that what you speak carries both presence and power.

Healing and Your Immeasurable Self Worth

A Workshop on Inner Worth, Boundaries, Breathwork & Meditation

Most of us have been conditioned to base our self-worth on external and changeable things — appearance, achievements, approval, relationships, past experiences, or how others perceive us. Yet true self-worth cannot be measured, compared, or earned. It arises from something much deeper: the essential beingness of who you are.

This workshop is an invitation to reconnect with the unshakeable ground within yourself that exists beyond comparison, perfectionism, self-judgment, and external validation. Together, we will explore how the mind forms false identities around pain, insecurity, and conditioning, and how to return to a more grounded, compassionate, and authentic relationship with yourself.

Through reflection, nervous system regulation practices, breathwork, meditation, and self-inquiry, participants will learn how to:

• Cultivate a deeper sense of inner worth and self-trust
• Release patterns of comparison, people-pleasing, and perfectionism
• Develop healthier inner boundaries and self-talk
• Become more aware of unconscious thoughts and emotional reactions
• Shift from self-criticism into greater compassion and neutrality
• Connect with a deeper state of presence, clarity, and inner stability

This is not about becoming “better” or fixing yourself. It is about remembering the inherent value and wholeness that already exists within you.

As you reconnect with your deeper nature, life begins to feel less driven by fear, striving, and external approval, and more guided by alignment, authenticity, and inner peace.

This workshop offers both practical tools and deeper spiritual insight to support emotional healing, self-awareness, and embodied transformation.
