Breath of Life: A Course on the Anatomy, Physiology, & Spirituality of Breath

Why Breath of Life?

• The Breath of Life Course was designed for you to learn more about the power of breath practice and how it can be an embodied-rhythm in your life to return to God's presence. In the presence of God we "catch our breath," slow down, build self-awareness, find our center in stillness, seek counsel, release holding patterns, and reduce stress for better health. Our prayer is that this course isn't just informative, but that it is transformative in your own spiritual formation and how you share it with others. 

When: Course available February 7 with pre-recorded lectures. Three LIVE Zoom workshops will take place Tuesday, February 13, Feb. 20th, Feb. 27th, March 5, March 12, 11am-12:30pm MST (40 CEUS).
