An Empathy Partner
A Process Sangha is a small group of 3 participants. It is a welcoming environment in which to explore longstanding patterns that impact our ability to be fully present. The facilitator, Alicia Barmon, is assisted by Travis Wanner, SEP.
The immersions are weekend in-person intensives.
Process Sanghas are based on the turn taking model of the work of Ray Castellino's Womb Surrounds. Each participant will be centered in their work to unravel patterns as they arise in the present moment. A turn is about 2 hours.
The invitation is to explore patterns of relationship and connection as they arise in the present moment. And with guidance and support, feel into the complexities of staying in relationship as we go into our patterns.
We will explore looping, management strategies, and the story of separation as they shape posture, breath and somatic experiences.
You will be guided to inhibit your management strategies, with exquisite consent, so we can allow the material to come forward out of the implicit and into the womb of the sangha for renegotiation and completion.
When it's not your turn, you will be called to witness and offer your presence to widen the field for quantum healing.
The foundation of this work is full body consent. We slow down and bow down to the resistance, the tension, the whispering No's...we make space for all the parts, and weave the wound with sangha and transpersonal spaces.
*The person who is taking the turn has the option of using low dose psychedelics for their turn.
This work is informed by Buddhist and Vedic philosophy, Somatic Experiencing, earth based spirituality and Psychedelic Somatic Interactional Psychotherapy.
Warm Welcome,
My name is Alicia. I have been consciously practicing the breath for 20 years in my personal and professional practice, using it as a tool to support clients with symptom mitigation and root level healing.
As a mother, human, yoga therapist, psychotherapist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and most recently trained to facilitate Psychedelic Somatic Interactional Psychotherapy- I work with people as multidimensional beings to support liberation as a practice of unbecoming ourselves.
I combine Somatic Experiencing with breathwork to build a bridge between the subconscious and conscious mind - the implicit and the explicit - allowing longstanding patterns to emerge and be supported, held and felt in a new way - in relationship with the loving witness and the vast web of relations.
My work emerges from the intersection of science and spirituality as I weave modern science with ancient practices to create 30 minute daily practices that draw from quantum physics, Vedic philosophy, Chinese medicine, Buddhism and my direct experience with trees, fungi, bull frogs, and many other sentient beings that walk my path with me.
I have been offering a breathwork class that has been running live, daily on zoom since 2021. I also teach practitioners how to harness the breath for liberation and healing and I provide somatic based therapy (with and without psychedelics) and individualized breathwork sessions to harness the breath for personal and collective liberation.
I am committed to regenerative practices, local community resiliency and loving ourselves and each other back to wholeness as an act of collective liberation. If you would like to know more about my somatic psychotherapy work, you can click here.
"I don't think anything has been as impactful for my overall well being...like ever. Alicia's Breathwork Apprenticeship and the daily Breathwork practices have helped me better connect with myself and others. It's inspired me to work differently with my clients and students and honestly, Alicia is just really lovely to sit and listen to."
Carrie Dennison, Yoga Teacher Trainer and Rieki Master
"Alicia's Breathwork Apprenticeship has been revolutionary for me both professionally and personally. She has helped me safely explore and inhabit my body in a completely new way by helping me tap into our body's most powerful tool, the breath. Her incredible wisdom and tender guidance is soul quenching. It is so apparent that she takes incredible care when curating this apprenticeship. Her approach is gentle, thoughtful and trauma informed. It has been an honor to sit and breathe, laugh, cry and hold joy and grief alongside so many other beautiful humans during these last 6 months. I cannot recommend it enough!"
Amanda Phelan, LCSW-C
"I have been breathing with Alicia for 15 years my partner and best friend. The Apprenticeship has helped me regulate in a new and deeper way. It's one thing to be mindful, it's another to know how to breathe functionally and use the breath to change the way I am feeling. This work is profound. Coming into deep relationship with my breath has been so incredibly useful. It has been life changing on every level."
Travis Wanner, SEP, Somatic Coach
"Alicia's daily breathwork and apprenticeship program has absolutely transformed my overall health and wellness. Thanks to these last six months, I now have a rich toolkit of breaths available when I'm fatigued, anxious, or need to work out the stiffness in my joints. More than that, though, I also have a community and a sense of belonging.
I have returned to my natural state of being thanks to this practice of attuning to my breath!"
Safrianna Loughna, LCPC
"I can’t say enough about Alicia and about this program. To share this container and community is so incredibly special and I am so grateful! The apprenticeship is full of practical knowledge that I know I can take with me into not only my personal practice, but my practice as a therapist as well. Knowledge of the breath and regular practice has made me a better clinician, a better partner, and a more connected human. This program has been a breath of fresh air that I didn’t even know I needed. Thank you Alicia!"
Nicole Sparrow, Therapist, Reiki Master
