Your breath can leave a trace. Draw it: one way on the in-breath, another on the out-breath, with white and colored soft pastels on big sheets of black paper. No art experience needed.
A workshop for anyone integrating a psychedelic experience or preparing for one. A calm, grounding evening as the month winds down.
The evening
1. Orientation to the art-making, then a gentle body-mind practice of spinal movement and chakra-focused visualization (no breathing exercises at this stage).
2. Three drawing rounds in different colors: your natural breath, breath shaped by choice (longer inhales or exhales, faster or slower), and a shared rhythm with box breathing and steady music.
