Starting the year slowly. No rush for plans. Going with the ebbs and flows. The system of 12 months of the year and all starting on January is forced. We are meant to go with the seasons. Let winter do the wintering. Breathwork is a practice that can support you in reaching edges that have been ignored. To release and let go. You can go within and winter too if you need. Come breathe with me this month

Check events on website for more details 🙂

If you’re done forcing your way into “new year, new me”… this is your sign.

🎙️ In The Flow With Moe is live Sunday, Jan 11 at 5pm ET — and we’re doing a real ALIGN reset for 2026:
A vibe + a method to get your energy, intentions, and actions moving in the same direction.

We’ll cover:
✨ What alignment actually feels like in your body
✨ How to stop people-pleasing your way into burnout
✨ The ALIGN framework: Awareness • Let it go • Intention • Grounding • Nurture
🕯️ Practical tools to reset your vibe
🐾 Animal Wisdom: how animals embody alignment without force

If you want a 2026 that’s true — not performative — tune in.

My show is found on News For The Soul Broadcast which is also found on Spotify, I Heart Radio, Blog Talk Radio, Sound Cloud, and more - here is the link to the main site.

January is starting slow and intentional over here. I’m taking some much-needed rest and travelling. Because of that, I’m only offering two breathwork dates in January. I will be coming back recharged, clear, and ready to bring the thunder!
These 2 dates are open for registration already. Check Events on my website.

Back in November (what seems like another lifetime away) I participated in a "sacred rage" ceremony with . It was raw, yet soft and I felt held. Thank you Jessie.
If you know me, then you know that Osho dynamic meditation with is my jam. So it was not my first cathartic anger release experience this November.
And after the sacred rage in November, I have reflected and felt the shifts.
Anger does need to be managed. It needs to be listened to, felt, expressed.
I am soft, loving, kind. And angry, full of rage, and that is what makes me ME. ALL. OF. ME. This has been the catalyst of my healing, SEEING me for all that i am.
Jessie had opened this question/invitation: "how are we taking ceremony into our life?" (or something like that)
Some of us jump from ceremony to ceremony. Aya and mushie ceremonies. Rituals. Looking for the AHA moment.
But how are we integrating those insights (downloads, messages, whatever tf you want to call them) into our everyday?, into our relationships?
And seriously, expressing my anger or strong emotions in ceremony, has really help me make room in my body. Declutter my brain.
And i see the integration in my life. In stressful situations, I feel more grounded. In my marriage, I am not afraid to be wrong (where before I was always right lol), I am honoring ME and rest without much fear of disappointing others (huge one). And a big one is that I stay true to myself. Sometimes the ripple effect is painful. Because old stories have a way to pop back. but so worth it.
What shifts have you noticed in your life?
Also, in 2026, I will offer an emotional release ceremony. I am still dreaming the details. Stay tuned...

"Breathwork" can mean so many things to many different people. This post will give you a clearer picture of what you would be experiencing, should you book a session with moi.

1. Is it just like a slow breathing meditation?
The short answer is no. There are different components in a breathwork session (including a meditation), but during the breathwork part, which is about 35-40 minutes, You will be guided into different rhythmic breath patterns, at different speeds. It is definitely dynamic breathing. Some participants have even compared it to a workout!
Reason: We are activating BOTH the sympathetic, and the parasympathetic nervous system. Giving you a well balanced journey, and actually teaching the body how to calm down (parasympathetic, rest and digest) if you are activated.

2. Is it Spiritual?
The answer is NO
The answer is also YES

Breathwork and all its physiological healing benefits are evidence-based, backed by science.
Diaphragmatic (slow) breaths help distribution of lymphatic fluid to the organs, and hence healing, better health, a more alkaline body.
and many other benefits

Our breath is what connects our minds to the body. we are often so disconnected that we resist our feels.
Breathwork can support you in feeling more grounded, present, clear.
And Spiritually yes, your breath can help you feel a spiritual connection.

This is why it is so POTENT and TRANSFORMATIVE. Mind body and soul.

3. I am new, feel intimidated...
Our minds often want to "do it right", are afraid of being the only NEW one there. Afraid of losing control with emotional release and being seen.
I can assure you 1. you will not be the only "new" participant. My sessions are always at least 50-60% first timers. (and I fu***ng love this!)
This is why I am always super detailed at the beginning. I want to make sure your experience is informed. That your mind has the information it needs so that your body can do its thing.
In my sessions, cathartic release is celebrated (surrendering and letting go is priceless). BUT we don't chase catharsis, we trust that the breath, our medicine, will take us where we need to go.
No session is the same, some are super loud, some are a quiet whisper. And I trust that it is what needs to BE that day.

Also, everyone is encouraged to wear blindfolds, so you don't have to worry about other participants observing, and it helps to go inward.

4. I am not ready:
The truth is, the unknown is something we are never ready for. It can be scary. Our brains want to resist, but if you have been thinking about it, Do it! Breathing with intention can be peaceful, or it can be the fire that you didn't know you needed.

If you have read this far, I invite you to take the leap. I will walk with you every step. support you if you need or just hold the energy while you release.
