WHAT IS IT? Two-Stage Breathwork is a powerful healing modality that uses the breath to open your heart, release emotional blockages, and reconnect you with your true authentic self; your Essence, inner source of Love and intuition. We share this practice as taught by David Elliott: as a deeply spiritual practice, rooted in the concept that Love is the most powerful force for healing. WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT DURING A SESSION? Introduction: After an opening circle you will be introduced to Two-Stage Breathwork Process and its breathing technique. Breath : You will breathe entirely through the mouth in a three-part cycle that was previously explained. This cycle is repeated continuously for 20–30 minutes in a session. Music: A core element of the healing journey. The tempo and tone of the music shift throughout the session creating a natural arc that supports us to drop into our body, allows emotional processing to happen, creates a safer container, stimulates the energetic body, opens the space to higher guidance or spiritual presence and supports the process’ pacing and integration. Conscious Witnessing, Sharing and Self-Inquiry : Before and after the sesison you will be invited, guided and supported to integrate your experience in dyads, triads or in circle, mainly through the art of Transparent Communication as taught by Thomas Huebl. WHAT YOU MAY EXPERIENCE Emotional release (crying, laughing, shaking) Tingling, temperature shifts, energy movement Insights, visions, or intuitive clarity A deep feeling of peace, stillness, or lightness PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE ARE SOME CONTRAINDICATIONS WHY IT WORKS Breath is the bridge between the conscious and unconscious mind. Through this two-stage rhythmic breathing: We bypass the ego and open the emotional body We release stuck energy, fear, grief, and trauma We access deep states of presence, peace, and clarity We invite in love, both from within and beyond GUIDING PRINCIPLES Love is the Healer : Most pain stems from a lack of love—especially self-love. Breathwork reawakens the heart’s natural ability to love and be loved. Emotions are Portals : Feelings like fear, shame, and grief are not enemies—they are keys to healing. The breath helps move them through the body and out. You Are Already Whole : The journey isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about removing what blocks your light, so your natural self can shine. The Body Remembers : Trauma and emotional memory live in the body. Breathwork is a way to gently access and release this stored energy. HOLDING THE SPACE Jorge creates a trauma-informed space for Men’s Work rooted in love, integrity, and guided rite's of inner self-initiation. Based on his own healing journey and professional experience, he supports you through preparation, integration, and aftercare. FINAL WORDS This breath is a medicine at all levels, mind body, emotions and spirit. You are your own healer. With every inhale and exhale, you are returning home to your heart, your truth, and your infinite capacity to Love. Information Source: Yoga Circle Collective Healing Lab | eventbrite

Welcome to Upstart & Crow’s In Translation Book Club , a celebration of global literature and storytelling across languages and borders! This free, bi-monthly event in our studio space introduces readers to powerful voices writing in languages other than English, amplifying fresh perspectives, underheard narratives and bold ideas. For our second book, we’ve selected Perfection by Vincenzo Latronico, translated from Italian by Sophie Hughes. Sharp, biting, and unsettlingly familiar, Perfection is a novel for anyone who has ever questioned the life they’ve curated. Anna and Tom have built an enviable existence in Berlin — carefully designed, aesthetically pleasing and utterly hollow. Longlisted for the 2025 International Booker Prize, this is a razor-sharp dissection of modern ambition, digital culture, and the all-too-familiar sense of disillusionment. Our meeting will take place on Wednesday, May 7 at 6 p.m., in person at Upstart & Crow. Bring yourself and an open mind to discuss the book! That’s all. You do not need to have purchased the book from us to attend, but we’ll be offering a 10% discount on the title if you do. You can do so by selecting between three ticket options: book included, no book, or by donation. To prepare in advance, our next two book club selections will be: Journey to the Edge of Life , Tezer Özlü (out April 11) — Meeting in July Motherhood and Its Ghosts , Iman Mersal (out May 16) — Meeting in September More about Upstart & Crow: Upstart & Crow is a not-for-profit creative studio and literary incubator that champions writers, readers and stories, and the role they play in shaping our lives.
