Breathwork is an evidence-based practice that supports recovery after trauma. We will practice two basic breathwork techniques and learn how breathwork supports a healthy nervous system.
This program is facilitated by Michaela I. Fissel, M.A., Executive Director of Advocacy Unlimited, Inc., person in long-term recovery, and breathwork practitioner.

"Personally, my recovery has centered on breathwork and holistic practices for nearly 7 years. I'm grateful to have the training and experience to share breathwork with community. I hope you will join me and share the offering with others in your network."

This program will be an educational discussion focusing on how to practice good consent and communication as a tool for sexual wellness. Professional sex educator Kim Adamski will provide information on what consent entails and
methods for communicating with a sexual partner, and participants will have opportunities to discuss their experiences (good, bad, and neutral) and what works for them with regards to sexual communication. Kim will be there to answer
any questions about safer sex and sexual pleasure.
Please be aware that attendees may share their negative sexual experiences, which could be a trigger for some folks.
Participants are welcome to step out at any time.
