Breathe into the Earth is a 20-30 minute grounding meditation space for BIPOC bodies to return to stillness, breath and quiet wisdom of the land. Through a gentle guidance and shared silence we will root into the presence creating space, rest, and connection. After the sit, we will share in light vegan/gluten free community meal/snack together. Feel free to bring food to share. This is a low-waste eco friendly/reusable dishwasher commitment to the Earth.

About the BIPOC Wellness Collective: The BIPOC Wellness Collective provides an inclusive space for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) to practice yoga, meditation, and be in a space of community, led by some of Fort Wayne’s BIPOC instructors. Classes will rotate between different instructors who will ensure students at all levels are able to follow along and create a container that may leave them feeling stronger, empowered, or rested depending on the class design.

About Alyssa Leeper: I am new to guiding and I offer this space with deep respect for the practice and our community. I’ve been meditating for over a year under the guidance of my Zen Buddhist BIPOC teacher whose presence and teaching have deeply shaped my practice. I am honored to share what I have received in a gentle space to breathe and return to ourselves.
