Join us for a NEW transformative breathwork experience with Matt Tellier of Half Acre Holistics. Journey inwards and explore the depths of yourself with this heart-centered breathing practice. Open up your heart to clear away anything that no longer serves you including negative thoughts, stuck emotions, behavioral patterns, and limiting beliefs. Smash internal blockages, embrace your inner warrior, become a creator, and discover your limitless potential through the power of your breath.
This class is for all skill levels, from first-time breathers brand new to breathwork to seasoned breathers looking to expand their practice. You will be introduced to a simple and powerful breathing technique that anyone can do. This extended breathwork experience gives breathers the space to travel to new heights and explore the nuance and depths of their breath. Breathing with intention can help focus, ground and energize you to step into the best version of yourself. Your breath can be the master key to profound change and powerful transformation.
Breathwork is experiential in nature. You may experience increased creativity, deep inner peace, more self-confidence, more self-love or life purpose! Whatever your breathwork experience is, it will be unique from everyone else’s and different every time you do it. It’s like a surprise or unwrapping a gift. Your breath will give you what you need in the moment – All you have to do is breathe.

The oldest and most common advice poets hear is “show don’t tell.” But what does that mean, exactly? What is the difference between showing and telling? Why is “showing” better? Most of us write poems to tell readers something, to share our ideas. Many poets—from as far back as John Donne to as recent as Stephen Dunn–do a lot of telling in their poems. So why are we always advised not to tell? In this workshop we will discuss these questions. In the process, we will look at a few well-known poems to see how–or if—they show rather than tell, and we will do some writing exercises that may help us arrive at some conclusions about this persistent advice.
This workshop is open to writers of all skill levels and is a fun way to find inspiration from a new prompt or revise current work. It is hosted by the Friends of Carl Sandburg at Connemara and will use Microsoft Teams for the virtual connection. Sign up to attend the workshop at workshop link
