What is Botanical Breathwork?
Botanical Breathwork was founded by Elliott Brinkley & Eliza Rose Kane to explore the intersection of energetic herbal medicine and breathwork meditation. The events are designed to create a sense of safety within the body, deepen your relationship with the Earth and spark the awareness of interconnectedness. By engaging with individual plants and a dynamic yet gentle breathing technique , the vividness of nature is again revealed through our imagination.
Breathwork meditation helps to move stagnation and emotions so that you are more receptive to your essence and the essence of the plants. It is a great tool for getting out of the head and into the heart for emotional, energetic and physical healing.
How Botanical Breathwork started...
It was spring 2020, when Eliza Rose Kane and Elliott Brinkley started dreaming up Botanical Breathwork. With all of the societal intensity around the pandemic, Botanical Breathwork was created as a tool for people to connect back into their bodies, the Earth and the plants to create a sense of safety. On a monthly basis, Elliott & Eliza would offer Botanical Breathwork classes on zoom to people all over the world. Elliott would intuitively choose a plant based on collective energetics of that time. We worked with Hawthorn, St. John's Wort, Violet, Motherwort, Rose, Calendula, Rosemary, Reishi, Lavender & more! By bringing awareness around the gifts that plant was ready to share with us, guided meditations centered on the plant, Eliza's brilliant intuitive encouragement during the breath & Elliott's detailed monographs shared after the event, a comprehensive botanical healing experience was created!
Once Elliott took over Dancing Willow Herbs in 2021, Botanical Breathwork had to take a pause in order for her to get her bearings as an apothecary owner. Elliott is currently offering in-person 1:1 Botanical Breathwork private sessions, along with holding in-person monthly group Botanical Breathwork sessions at her apothecary Dancing Willow Herbs, in Durango, CO. So if you are local or in town, make sure to check it out.
And we will keep you posted on any future events we do together, so stay on the look out!
“Botanical Breathwork is DYNAMITE. E + E = MAGIC. Every time I’ve done Botanical Breathwork, joining live or on my own… I get a full body heat happening. A fire that runs through my whole body. You’ve both created a very potent container. I am in awe.”
