Breath, Presence + Shared Resilience
Community Somatic Movement + Breathwork Experience
This 90-minute workshop is an invitation to move through difficulty — not alone, but together.
Through guided meditation, gentle movement, somatic awareness, and transformative breathwork, we’ll create a space where you can soften your armor, befriend your mind, reconnect to your body, and access inner strength in a community-centered container.
Uncertainty, anxiety, and powerlessness transform into agency and hope when we move through them together.
Led by: Daniel LaBarbera
Daniel is a life-loving student (of the mind, the body, and the earth) who sings on sidewalks and dances while doing dishes. He is a certified yoga instructor and meditation teacher who makes magic out of the mundane.
He brings a beginner’s mindset to his practice and moves through each shape ~mental & physical~ with joyful effort. Daniel feels most alive while in the service of others – specifically when creating spaces for others to connect with themselves (listen to their divinity within, expand their capacity to love, remember where their reality stems from).
He is excited to be part of the Reforesters community and is humbled to share the love-drenched ancient wisdom of yoga and meditation with his students.
Led by: Johnny Conheeney
Johnny Conheeney is a certified breathwork facilitator with a deep passion for helping people reconnect to their bodies, release old stories, and awaken to their full vitality. After years working in recruitment and digital marketing, he followed a strong inner calling to explore the transformative power of the breath — a path that changed his life and now shapes his work.
His approach is grounded, intuitive, and rooted in presence. He blends active breathwork techniques with a deep respect for emotional safety, nervous system awareness, and spiritual openness. He holds space with care and a belief that healing doesn’t have to be heavy — it can also be liberating, playful, and deeply human.
