6:00 PM -  7:00 PM

Join Katie Lemmert for an active breathwork meditation that blends guided breath patterns, music, and the healing resonance of sound bowls - designed to help you shift out of your thinking mind and into the wisdom of your body.

Registration recommended but not required.

During this session, you'll discover how breathwork can:

✨ Lower stress and calm anxiety
✨ Release fear, doubt, and anger
✨ Create clarity and alignment for your mind, body, and spirit
✨ Help you process and connect to your consciousness
✨ Improve digestion and immune function
✨ Reduce pain and inflammation in the body
✨ Boost self-love and emotional insight
✨ Support the release of trauma and addictive patterns

There will be space to feel your feelings, whether that means laughing, crying, yelling, or simply being present. Connect with your sacred intelligence. We’ll begin with gentle intention-setting, then move into the active breathwork with a curated playlist of music, and end with a deeply restorative sound bowl shavasana, a healing experience that soothes the nervous system and leaves you feeling lighter, clearer, and more balanced. No experience is necessary. Everyone is welcome. The collective energy of the group amplifies the healing, creating a powerful container for transformation. There will be space afterwards to linger together over tea or water if you feel called to stay. She’ll have some options, but please feel free to bring your own.

Registration encouraged but not required.

If you have attended one of Katie’s breathwork classes, you already know she invites you to explore your edges within a safe and intentional container. Dynamic Meditation offers that same permission to go inward while fully engaging the body. If you feel the need to move, release, clear mental clutter, and/or experience catharsis in a supported space, this class is for you.

This one hour practice unfolds in five stages. Eyes remain closed throughout, and a blindfold can deepen your internal focus. The stages include fast chaotic breathing, emotional release, mantra with jumping, stillness, and celebratory movement. Each phase is intentional, building toward a profound sense of witnessing, silence, and inner spaciousness.

Dynamic Meditation is a direct and thorough method for interrupting old patterns held in the body and mind and reconnecting with clarity and aliveness in the present moment.

Bring water for grounding afterward. We will close with time to sit together and share reflections for those who feel called.

Come ready to move, release, and meet yourself honestly.

You are warmly invited to join the Living Water Community as we begin our 2026 Spring-Summer Series with a special Earth Day community dinner potluck, plant exchange, and open mic celebration! This is a no-cost family friendly event and all are welcome. Cash and digital donation accepted to help support our programs.

The Community Herbal Study Group is a monthly gathering to encourage connection, education, and a deeper appreciation for herbalism/plant medicine. This collaborative “knowledge share” creates a space where community members can explore the history, folklore, and medicinal properties of healing herbs in a supportive environment. As a facilitated study group (not a lecture), participants will learn together through the traditions of community and folk herbalism. Whether a seasoned herbalist or just beginning a journey with plants, all levels of experience are welcome.

Folk herbalism, often referred to as the “Wise Woman” tradition, is a community-based practice rooted in the nourishing and restorative properties of plants. It emphasizes a hands-on, ancestral relationship with the local environment, focusing on seasonal wellness and shared wisdom. This approach values the stories, folklore, and historical uses of plants alongside their physical benefits.

Information shared in this study group is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.
