Guided Breathwork Experience: Acceptance

Toronto Botanical Garden has partnered with Mira Kopanarov, a Storyteller and Artist, to offer a six-month breathwork experience program for creative transformation. Each class is independent and tailored towards gradual body and mind care. You can register for as many or as few as you like.

The Guided Breathwork Experience program at the Toronto Botanical Garden uniquely combines breath with storytelling, movement, and nature to create a healthy and creative journey into the new year. Each class’ focus will be different, progressively allowing your awareness and body to be healthier and energized. The facilitator will help you with grounding, emotional resilience, community support, and ultimately cultivating freedom and confidence in all areas of life through day-to-day practices.

Acceptance in February will be one of the most important experiences throughout the 6 month program. In the most challenging month of the year, we will practice accepting and finding peace, love, and vibrant energy without compromising. When the new year starts in the depth of winter, there is a story to be told and it is one of love and perseverance.

Do you observe if you are constantly doing, in your head or with your hands? Our mental and physical well-being is shaped by too many environments. The onset of mental health movements, menopausal awareness, entrepreneurial burn out, elderly care and children’s emotional support voices have created a diverse community of united people who want to live quality lives.

Combining breath, art, and community benefits, surrounded by nature, fosters an environment for growth and connection.

The breathwork class includes mediation, creative practice, active breathing for 40 mins, and movement. The session is complimented by organic teas and healthy snack. 2+ hours.

February is a month to know love instead of mind chatter. When seeds are underground, they have no expectations of what will come of them and when. They know to wait as within them is the entire flower. Seeds are a universal symbol for creation, growth and beauty, because they reveal their nature when the conditions are welcoming.

Sunday, February 23 from 11:00 AM-1:00 PM.
