Hey you guys! ❤️

I’ve been sitting with the tragedy that has struck our community and I keep coming back to the same feeling that we need somewhere to put all of these feelings. The grief. The shock. The anger. The fear. The helplessness. The heartbreak. The pain and the things we don’t even have the words for yet.

I had the idea to offer a group community breathwork session for anyone who feels like they need a place to come together and be surrounded by other people who are carrying some of the same heaviness. I know it has affected us all on some level.

Breathwork is a powerful healing modality aimed at releasing stored emotions, recalibrating your inner compass, healing what needs addressed, and improving your overall wellbeing and mental health. Whether you are a first responder, the family, knew the family, or are simply carrying the same hollowness and helplessness so many of us are feeling, I’d love to create a space where I could support everyone.

This wouldn’t be about fixing anything or pretending that deep breathing on a mat can make something this devastating go away. It’s about coming together as a collective to honor the victims, process grief, and feel less alone.

I would make it donation-based, with 100% of the proceeds going toward supporting the families of the victims. It’s not much, but it’s one small act of service and solidarity I feel like I can offer our grieving community.

So with that being said, does anyone know of (or have access to) a large space where I could hold this? Ideally somewhere that could accommodate a good number of people comfortably.

If you have a space, a connection, an idea, or even just a lead, please reach out to me. I would love to make this happen. Ideally it would be the same week as the community-wide fundraising efforts Justin and Jennifer are organizing and we could add the money to the total raised.

Hey you guys!

September is sneaking up on us quickly, and I want to get this one on your radar now because I’m especially excited about what I’m creating for this group breathwork session. These sessions are truly life altering for many and I have witnessed true miracles doing this work.

Sunday, September 27th | 2–4 PM

This experience will be intentionally curated for those of us who find ourselves in the messy middle of a transition as it seems to be a steady theme lately with all my clients.

And transition can look like a hundred different things. Maybe you’re navigating the end of a relationship or the beginning of a new chapter. Maybe your kids are growing up and you’re trying to figure out who you are outside of the roles you’ve occupied for years. Maybe you’re changing careers or homes, releasing an old identity, navigating loss, rebuilding after something difficult, or simply feeling that quiet internal knowing that the version of you who got you here isn’t necessarily the version who will carry you forward. Or maybe you’re simply in the uncomfortable unknown and trekking through uncharted territory.

There is such a strange space between what was and what’s next. And we are often so eager to get through it that we forget there is wisdom during the in-between. Of course, as humans, we all want the answer and crave the clarity that comes with new beginnings. We want to know how the story ends before we’ve even finished living the chapter we’re in. But, as we all know, transition rarely offers us that kind of clarity or certainty.

This session will be an opportunity to slow down long enough to listen and lay down some of what you’ve been carrying. We will move beneath the constant chatter of the thinking mind and reconnect with your body, your intuition, and the part of you that already knows far more than you give it credit for.

You don’t need to have any experience with breathwork and you don’t need to arrive with an intention, an epiphany, or your s**t remotely figured out. I promise. You just need to come exactly as you are.

If life has you standing somewhere between no longer and not yet, this one is for you.

More details coming soon, but for now, save the date!

Sunday, September 27th
2–4 PM

Cost is $45 but as always if you would like to attend but don’t have the financial means, please reach out and I will be more than happy to offer you a spot regardless.

I hope you’ll carve out some time for yourself and come breathe with me. ❤️

Glendive… I’m headed your way! I’ll be there October 3rd & 4th, and I genuinely can’t wait. More details are coming soon, but if you joined us for the last retreat at 1893 Matthew’s House, I really hope I get to see some of your beautiful faces again.

And Billings… you’ve been making me smile with all the messages asking when group breathwork is coming back.

The answer is: September.

Truthfully, I’ve missed it just as much as you have and I can’t wait to gather again!

A season of gathering is just around the corner.

We’ve got a full fall taking shape at 1893 Matthew’s House—music, creativity, connection, and community. Whether you’re joining us for a listening room concert, a hands-on workshop, a night of worship, or a chance to simply slow down and breathe, we hope you’ll find something that draws you in.

🎟️ Tickets for Logan Mac are on sale now!

These are the events currently on the calendar, with even more in the works. Follow along as additional dates and details are announced. We can’t wait to welcome you this fall.

I was having a conversation with a dear friend who is also in the healing profession. We were talking about breathwork, but in broader terms, we were talking about humanity.

She asked me what I think makes someone a good breathwork facilitator and I feel like most people assume it’s the music, the techniques, the extensive training, or knowing exactly what to say and when.

The truth? Ninety percent of it is learning how to hold space. It’s being able to sit in front of someone while they’re falling apart and not feel the need to put them back together. It’s being able to witness grief without trying to shrink it, anger without trying to soften it, and fear without rushing them toward courage. It’s being able to stay with them through whatever they’re experiencing without flinching and loving them without judgment as they unearth their own answers and draw their own conclusions.

That sounds simple, but it isn’t. Because another person’s pain has a way of bumping into the parts of ourselves we’ve never fully met. For example, if we haven’t learned to sit with our own heartbreak, shame, fear, or grief, we’ll unconsciously try to rescue someone from theirs. We don’t necessarily jump in to help because the other person needs rescuing, we rush to fix because we need relief from witnessing it.

I’ve become convinced that we can only know another person as deeply as we’ve been willing to know ourselves. And we can only sit with someone else’s pain as deeply as we’ve learned to sit with our own. That, to me, is the real work. It always will be.

It is one of the most powerful lessons facilitating breathwork has taught me. Healing isn’t something we do to people, it is something that naturally unfolds when someone finally feels safe enough to be completely seen and realize they don’t have to carry it alone.

Breathwork has also taught me that healing rarely comes from saying the perfect thing at the right time. It comes from becoming the kind of person whose unwavering presence says, “There is nothing you could feel that would make me leave this moment with you.”

Big news: I found a new office space.

Bigger news: apparently the universe has already started sending referrals.

Pam sent me this photo with the caption, “I think he’s looking to see if you take walk-ins.”🤣

Gotta love Montana!

But in all seriousness, deer are often seen as symbols of gentleness, intuition, and new beginnings. Considering this little guy showed up at the door of my new office during such a season of major transition for me, I can’t help but smile.

If you booked a breathwork session with me over the past few months and I had to cancel, I have some exciting news…

Sonder Breath has a new home!

After losing my previous space (completely understandable…they were able to rent it full-time, and I was only renting by the session), I found myself back in the familiar dance of searching for a location that could accommodate the unique nature of my work.

As many of you know, breathwork isn’t exactly a quiet endeavor. Between the activating music, emotional releases, laughter, tears, and the occasional life-changing breakthrough, finding a space that allows people to fully let go and feel safe can be surprisingly challenging. For that reason, I’ve mostly been limited to weekends. But not anymore.

I’m thrilled to share that I now have access to a fabulous new space located at 131 Moore Lane, Suite C, directly next to the entrance of Plaza Fitness. Even better, this opportunity allows me the flexibility to offer sessions during the week, making it much easier for people to find a time that works with their schedules. (I’ll be updating my Calendly schedule shortly.)

The best part? This opportunity came through one of my favorite humans.

Pam, the owner of Plaza Fitness, started as a breathwork client and over the years became someone I consider a friend. Incredible woman and easily one of the people who inspires me most. Like this woman does the work!

When she heard about my space dilemma, she graciously offered to rent to me…by the session as some months I may have ten sessions and other months I have zero. It’s one of those times that reminds me how powerful community can be. And how things always work out.

If you know Pam (and honestly, lucky you if you do) you already know this is who she is. She consistently goes out of her way to support people, encourage their dreams, and help make things happen. She’s honestly been one of my biggest supporters and has referred several people to me. Her generosity and belief in my work have created an opportunity that will allow me to serve my people again, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

Over the last few months, I’ve had to cancel nearly a dozen sessions due to not having a consistent location. If you were one of those people, thank you for your patience and understanding. Everyone gave me so much grace and I’ll be personally reaching out over the next few days to get everyone rescheduled.

And one more piece of exciting news: the space is large enough to host group sessions as well, which means breathwork groups will be making a return in the future! Most likely in the fall as I have a crazy summer.

It’s funny how life works sometimes. Just when a door closes, another one opens down the hall. Such a beautiful reminder that things are always working out behind the scenes, even when we can’t see it yet. The universe has a way of providing exactly what’s needed at exactly the right time.

I’m deeply grateful, incredibly excited, and looking forward to breathing with you all again soon. ❤️

Four years ago today I gave up alcohol for good after waking up with one of the worst hangovers of my life. Yes, I had done a year sober here and there before. Long enough to convince myself I had “healed” my relationship with alcohol and to start romanticizing about moderation again.

Morgan Freeman voice: She did not, in fact, drink like a normal person.

Looking back now, it’s almost laughable how badly I wanted to negotiate with something that was actively destroying me. Alcohol was never just alcohol for me. It was escape, numbing, and performance. It was a temporary relief that quietly demanded everything in return.

There were so many moments I should not have survived. So many mornings filled with shame so heavy it felt cellular and nights where I abandoned myself piece by piece. I should probably be a cautionary tale. For real.

Recovery has not been easy. Anyone who tells you healing is all green juice, yoga mats, and inspirational quotes has clearly never sat on the bathroom floor sobbing while trying to survive their own mind. There were days I thought the grief alone would swallow me whole and days I had to learn how to exist without the one thing I used to run to every time life hurt.

I can honestly say this is one of the single most pivotal decisions I have ever made for myself. Every beautiful thing in my life right now was built on the foundation of this choice. Life doesn’t necessarily get easier but it gets so much better.

And maybe the greatest gift of all is this: I no longer want to escape my life. I am finally here for it. Connected to God and to my highest and wisest self. Four years alcohol free today, you guys. And wildly, wildly grateful.♥️

You guys,

I had one of the most soul-nourishing, expansive, deeply transformative, coming-home-to-myself weekends of my entire life. I almost cannot believe it was real.

I’ve been in San Diego for four days at an advanced energetics breathwork training and honestly…a part of me will probably spend the rest of my life trying to find the words for what happened there. Trying to explain it feels a little like attempting to hold the ocean in my hands. Beautiful. Vast. Sacred. Too immense to fully capture. Something inside of me cracked open and not broken open…remembered open.

I met some of the most incredible women I’ve ever encountered. Women who look into your eyes and see your soul immediately. Women who are soft and powerful. Grounded and wildly expansive. Women who have walked through fire and somehow still choose love. It felt less like meeting strangers and more like remembering people I had known in another lifetime.

We laughed until we cried and cried until we laughed. There were moments of such deep vulnerability and raw humanity that I could physically feel generations of armor melting off my body. I released grief I didn’t realize I was still carrying. I reclaimed parts of myself I convinced myself weren’t needed. I softened. I expanded. I transformed. I literally feel like a totally different woman. Because I am.

And perhaps the biggest thing I came home with is this embodied, cellular-level knowing that this kind of healing and transformation is possible for every single one of us. Not just the “lucky” people or the enlightened people. All of us.

We have been taught to live so disconnected from our bodies, our intuition, our joy, our softness, and our God-given power. And what I experienced this weekend reminded me that underneath all the conditioning, all the pain, all the roles we play to survive…there is still a whole, worthy, radiant human being waiting to be remembered.

I’m still integrating everything because truthfully I feel like my entire internal landscape shifted. Since returning home, my life has been overflowing with what I can only describe as God winks and synchronicities. The right people appearing. Conversations aligning. Opportunities unfolding effortlessly. Abundance and love showing up in ways so obvious and undeniable that all I can do is sit in awe of the magic of this life. I see the world in a completely different way.

It feels like the universe keeps whispering, “See? This is what happens when you shift your consciousness and finally get out of your own damn way and allow yourself to receive all this life has to offer.”

And the most beautiful part is that I don’t want to keep any of this to myself. I want to share these embodied knowings with all of you. I want you all to remember that healing does not have to be heavy forever and at some point we have to stop our healing journey and step into our awakening.

We get to internalize that joy is spiritual. That abundance is allowed. That softness is strength and that your body is not your enemy. Your life can change so quickly when your nervous system finally feels safe enough to receive the things your soul has been asking for all along.

Stay tuned. I came home different. More myself than I have ever been. And my next mission is to bring these ancient and embodied teachings to everyone who feels ready to remember who they are.

I know it’s Mother’s Day. I know today is meant to be celebratory and beautiful and filled with flowers, brunches, and gratitude. And I hope for many of you, it truly is. I myself am blessed to have a beautiful mother and two daughters to celebrate with.

But I can’t help thinking about all the people I love who experience today as something much more raw and tender.

The mothers who have lost children.

The children who have lost mothers.

The estranged relationships. The complicated dynamics. The grief that has no clean edges. The women aching to become mothers. The mothers carrying guilt, shame, exhaustion, or the weight of feeling like they somehow failed. The people showing up to today with wounds instead of celebration in their chest.

Days like this can magnify both love and loss at the exact same time. So if today hurts a little, or a lot, I just want you to know there’s room for that too. You do not have to force gratitude over grief. You do not have to perform joy if your heart is carrying something heavier today.

And for those lucky enough to celebrate today with full hearts, I hope you do so deeply. Hold your people close. Say the things that matter. Love loudly while you still can.

Motherhood, in all its forms, is sacred. And so is the grief that sometimes accompanies it.

I don’t recommend services often, but this one feels too good to keep to myself. My dear friend Jill owns The Healing Flush and what she offers genuinely deserves to be talked about.

Yes, I’ve gotten colonics from her—and let me tell you, I was so relaxed, so at ease, that I actually fell asleep during my very first one. Who does that during a colonic? Apparently me.

That’s how comfortable Jill makes you feel. Her presence, her professionalism, her way of explaining everything without ever making it awkward is second to none.

If you’ve never had a colonic, you might assume it’s “just” about digestion — but it’s so much more. It’s an energetic release as well. These sessions can shift your entire being. People walk in feeling heavy, inflamed, foggy… and walk out feeling lighter, clearer, and reset. I can attest to this. I literally felt “high” after my first one.

And Jill just upgraded: she now has an open system, which gives you more privacy, more comfort, and more control during the process. It’s a total game-changer, especially for anyone who’s been curious but hesitant.

Some of the benefits you can expect:

Improved digestion and less bloating

Increased energy and mental clarity

Enhanced detoxification and elimination

Relief from chronic constipation

Reduced inflammation

A healthier gut–mind connection

A noticeable sense of lightness and wellbeing

What sets Jill apart is her presence. She’s gentle, intuitive, and deeply professional. She creates an atmosphere where you feel supported, safe, and honestly… kind of proud of yourself for doing something so good for your body.

If your system is asking for a reset, or if you’ve been on the fence about trying a colonic, take this as your sign. Book a session with Jill Ricci. Your gut — and truly your whole self — will thank you.
