2020 is pretty much
hell on earth.
2020 is pretty much
hell on earth.
You're more tired than you've ever been. You find yourself wringing your hands or staring into space because IT'S ALL TOO FUCKING MUCH. You can't seem to catch your breath, or you subconsciously hold your breath because your body is going through a trauma response.
YES ME TOO I UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY.
My name is Kristen Kalp and in the past 9 months, I've almost died of Covid (before it had a name!), moved from Philly to Portland, nearly died (again WEE!) of lung-related issues due to Covid, experienced months of lockdown thousands of miles from friends and family, lived in a city overrun by shady 'government' agents detaining citizens in unmarked vans, gotten used to the sound of giant police drones over my home each day, and dealt with the death of my grandmother from Covid.
Brushes with death, grief, loss, and a sea change in the way society works have already happened, AND IT'S NOT EVEN THE FOURTH QUARTER OF THE YEAR YET.
Breathwork -- i.e. my healthiest coping mechanism -- has kept me as steady as it's possible to be during these massive life changes.
I am no longer afraid of myself or my interiors, and I can think I want nothing more for YOU as well.
If you'd like to cultivate steadiness and Resilience in the coming year...
Together is for you.

Who am I to teach, you ask?
We'll gather once a month to share sacred space and breathe together. You'll have plenty of time to get comfy and explore your interiors each time.
Joining at *any* point before August 2021 gets you instant access to all prior Together breathwork class recordings!
We'll gather once a month to share sacred space and breathe together. You'll have plenty of time to get comfy and explore your interiors each time. Recordings will be made available AND you'll be encouraged to show up live each time.
Joining at *any* point before August 2021 gets you instant access to all prior breathwork classes!
Why yes there ARE secret podcast episodes waiting for you already, with at least 10 more to come as the year goes on!
We'll dig in to the themes I simply don't feel comfortable sharing for free with the Karens of the world, and then I'll dare you to respond to the podcast so we actually talk to each other.
With much human contact limited to recorded and tracked spaces (i.e. the internet) -- simply being able to speak freely is precious to me.
I suspect the same is true for you!
The Speakeasy is a 2-hour container for us to gather and talk about ALL THE THINGS freely and confidently. Business, life, feelings, overwhelm -- all of it is on the table during these times. And none of it is recorded.
::whew::

here come really good reasons to do this shit
really good reasons to do this shit
At its most basic level, the human body has just four emotions: fear, anger, sadness, and joy. The more we try to numb or tamp down our anger, fear, and sadness, the more we lose the ability to feel joy.
Breathwork is a simple, sacred practice that uses the breath to help you feel your feelings — yes, even the shitty ones and awful ones — so that, about 30 minutes later, you’ve got increased access to joy.
Not rainbows and puppies joy — life force joy. Resisting oppression joy. Pandemic joy. Donating to and participating in movements joy. Living-through-a-dystopian-novel joy.
Buckets of joy can be reclaimed when you begin a breathwork practice.
To start, you’ll need a place to lie down and a pillow.
I'll walk you through the breathing pattern every single time we meet, so please don't stress about whether you can do this.

Economies all over the planet are tanking. We're all wildly disoriented because the world of 2019 no longer exists.
Covid is rampant. America is THE BEST at failed pandemic response and not much else. The continued and escalating oppression of Black, Brown, and Indigenous peoples is horrifying.
The dystopian novel is HERE, and the overwhelming fear it brings will rob our insides of all hope if we let it.
LET'S BREATHE THROUGH THE SHITSHOW.

Bonus ends Sept 8th!
But wait there's more
We'll meet for breathwork via Zoom on the third Friday of each month, starting September 18th at 2pm ET. Each class lasts up to 2 hours. Recordings *are* included with your Together membership!
Our four Speakeasy meetings will happen on Tuesdays at 2pm ET. Again, these are 2 hours max!
I'll be quite reminder-y about each breathwork class, so you don't have to freak about dates and times -- but they're listed if you need 'em.
Pandemic Note: All *dates* are subject to change if I get Covid (again), but the *time and day-of-the-week* will remain the same for the sake of continuity -- i.e. breathwork will always be held on Friday, and Speakeasy on Tuesday.

I cried, a lot, and I kept breathing. I forgave myself, and the people who have taken care of me in whatever way they could manage, and then myself again. And my past and future and best selves are all proud of me. And all of my guides love me. And I know this now in a way that I didn't an hour ago. And I have you to thank for it. This is such a gift."

Nope! Because the point of our time is to be fully present together, the last thing I'll be doing is helping you spend more time on social media in any capacity.
