Life is made up of experiences that create a colorful, vibrant mosaic. Each fragment represents a period of time, to which people, places, objects, and emotions are connected. Some are light and sparkly, some are dark with sharp edges, but every single one is a part of our experience on this Earth and what we carry with us moving forward.

There are times when something happens that can completely alter our entire existence and our view of the whole world. These big losses can feel as if they are the only thing that has happened or that ever will happen to us. Part of healing, is figuring out how to make these new pieces fit into the big picture of our life, and how to create beauty out of something so heavy.

Renee Ruhlman, LPC and Jenny Bonta, certified trauma-informed breathwork facilitator, invite you to step into healing and the gentle embrace of resiliency through a three-part series called Breathing through Big Loss.

Jenny has spent more than 18 years advocating for trauma survivors before transitioning to healing practices such as somatic breathwork, EFT, Access Bars, and sound healing. Currently, she is completing her studies on how incorporating nature and ritual with breathwork and other modalities can enhance and deepen one's healing journey.

Renee has been dedicated to the mental health field since 2005. As a licensed professional counselor in Colorado and Nebraska, she has worked with a diverse array of families and individuals. Through her experiences, she has observed that trauma and grief frequently impact a person's life. She has come to understand that while everyone will face grief and loss at some point, each person's experience is unique. Renee feels privileged and honored whenever she is given the opportunity to hold space for others as they navigate these profound experiences.

In both Jenny's and Renee's experiences—and supported by research—they have observed that individuals often carry grief, trauma, and significant loss within their bodies. Engaging in mindfulness practices, rituals, and modalities like breathwork can support you in traversing this non-linear process.

This will be a nine-week experience of community, reflection, releasing, and healing. Utilizing mindfulness and wellness practices, somatic breathwork, and ritual you can come together as a "we" and re-create a new version of life.

This virtual community will meet three times on Zoom, beginning February 21st. There is an additional online forum for journaling and processing healing in between each session. In addition to coming together in community, you will move forward with tools to enhance your healing journey.
