Community Breathwork: Honoring Veterans & Family Members

About this event

Pause. Breathe. Live.

Join us in Bend, Oregon for a free, trauma-informed breathwork session created to serve veterans and their family members. This is Conscious Connected Breathwork, a guided practice that works directly with your nervous system to release stored stress, quiet mental noise, and reconnect you to a steadier, clearer version of yourself.

This isn't just a wellness class. For many people, one guided breathwork session shifts what years of talking about it never could. Service doesn't only shape the person who served. Spouses, partners, parents, and children carry it too. Whether you've worn the uniform or you've stood beside someone who did, this session is built for you. Come on your own, come as support, or bring your whole family.

No breathwork experience is necessary. You'll be guided through every step, with space to rest and integrate afterward.

This event is completely free for every attendee, veterans and family members alike. It's made possible through the generous support of Tributary Foundation, an Oregon 501(c)(3) nonprofit expanding access to care and wellness support for veterans and their families across Central Oregon.
