How do monks structure their day, balancing meditation, work & rest? Here are Thich Nhat Hanh’s key teachings on the art of living each day well. Compiled by Sr True Dedication 1. Guard the morning (and start it gently). Train yourself to begin the day with a few gentle breaths and a smile, *before* even getting out of bed (or checking the phone). Make the vow to live every hour of the day deeply, with compassion. 2. Savor your tea or coffee, slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the earth revolves. Follow your breathing, relax the body, look out the window, listen to your heartbeat (this is nothing less than meditation). Drinking tea – Photo by Sara Wilhelmsson 3.

A short video where I talk about what breathwork is and what a breathwork session with me look like.

How to shift negative thoughts and beliefs Do you struggle to get out of negative thoughts about yourself or your situation? Perhaps you are tired of hearing the same old beliefs about yourself?

This is what Max said about his 2018-2019 AFGO journey with Geoffrey... "Huge support for Geoffrey and his breathwork facilitator training for coming November 2019. In the last 9 months (2018-2019) I took this trip together with 4 others and went through a crazy mixture of laughter, crying, screaming, being and flying... Breathwork is a form of therapy in which you find yourself in an altered state of consciousness, during the transformed breath and Geoffrey facilitation you will experience yourself your body, emotions and all the rest in a new more intense way. The journey will be taken as a group with deep sharings, meditation, family constellation, chakra work, trigger techniques and other funky surprises. I'd say its for everyone ready to travel through internal landscapes of consciousness to remember what this weird miracle of being human is about and looking for a deep connective group experience.

This is what Selma said about her AFGO journey...

"It’s one of these days. I feel surrounded by an ocean of emptiness. I feel powerless, lost, stuck and trapped.

Last year I would have tried to meet up with friends to have an excuse to drink, I would have pushed away the pain with alcohol, smoking and fucking. I would have eaten a pizza plus crisps. I would have spent a few hours crying, telling myself the stories of my sadness and drowning in them.

This Saturday I offer this beautiful workshop: the inner child re-union.

WHY?

To heal your oldest wounds, to release destructive patterns, to learn how to take care of yourself, to bring joy and playfulness in your life.

HOW?

During this workshop, you will be gently guided to re-unite with your inner-child with the intention of healing one of your deepest wound. The power of the breath will gently guide you to let go of it.

---

This meeting with your inner child doesn't end with the workshop. Once you are connected to your innerchild you can nurture this very special relationship and deepen the healing.

Inner child work is one of the most powerful healing tools. Coupled with breathwork you are up for a deep journey within yourself.
