As a community, we are uniting to support our dear friend Rachel, who has received an unexpected and serious cancer diagnosis. Our collective strength, compassion, and financial assistance can provide her with the encouragement and help she needs during this challenging time.

Rachel is a true angel who has dedicated her life to healing and supporting others. Now it's our chance to support her as she steps back from work to focus on healing. Though she has medical insurance, many essential treatments are not covered. Your donations will help cover out-of-pocket cancer treatments, holistic & integrative therapies, living expenses, and more.

With your support, we can help ease her burden and ensure she receives the care and comfort she needs.

Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a significant difference. Let's come together as a community to uplift Rachel and assure her she's not navigating this challenge alone. Our shared support is vital, allowing her to focus on her healing journey.

AT CHECKOUT, THERE IS AN OPTION TO "ADD AN ADDITIONAL DONATION TO SIERRA PSYCHEDELIC SOCIETY." WE INVITE YOU TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL DONATION TO SUPPORT RACHEL'S HEALING. 100% OF ALL PROCEEDS AND DONATIONS FROM THIS EVENT WILL GO TO RACHEL FLOWER

About this event:

Every human, firefighter, first responder, and veteran deserves the opportunity to thrive in this lifetime. Overwhelm, stress, distraction, depression, and anxiety prevent many of us from fully experiencing thriving. Breath of Fire can help bring you closer to this balanced state.

Transformational Breathwork is not just another technique or protocol, it is an experience. This style of breathwork has the potential to offer deep healing, growth, creativity, connection, surrender, support, and love.

From a peer support and mental health perspective, these experiences have huge benefits. The focus is to help first responders and their partners manage stress, anxiety, and depression through behaviors/practices on the front end that prevent a critical overload or breaking point. Many individuals and first responders spend the majority of their waking hours hyper-vigilant and in their heads problem-solving and rationalizing. This is a challenging state to rest, heal, and grow in.

This experience is a full somatic experience.

In other words, you will have the opportunity to set down your armor, fully surrender, and enter an altered state of consciousness that shifts perspective and allows you to connect with your body. In our body is where we often store unprocessed emotions, trauma, etc. This physical practice can acknowledge and even move, shift, or release that energy. Music and vibrational sound also have the ability to affect our consciousness. Stacking these together creates a very powerful experience. If this piques your curiosity, please join us. Come experience transformational breathwork stacked with an electronic music vibrational journey.

There will be Tibetan singing bowls rang on each participant during the journey, along with reiki being performed on participants. Anyone experiencing anxiety, fear, or blocks related to the experience is invited to come early and receive an Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) or “tapping” session to prepare them for the journey.
