Monthly Elemental Breathwork with Carrie Brewer
2025-06-21 15:00 - 16:30 | Yoga Garden, 184 East Street, Pittsboro, NC, 27312, United States
Join Yoga Garden PBO for Monthly Elemental Breathwork with Carrie Brewer, hosted on the third Saturday of every month, 3pm-4:30pm. Elemental Rhythm Breathwork is a somatic embodiment journey to support growth and healing. Through deep, intentional breathing, this practice can guide you beyond the conscious mind, restoring balance by activating the parasympathetic nervous system. By accessing this more profound state, you can release old thought patterns, stagnant emotions, and energy that no longer serves you. Where awareness goes, energy flows—this process empowers you to shift your state of consciousness to nurture your own personal growth and healing.
Inspired by the elements, Elemental Rhythm Breathwork incorporates different breathing techniques, followed by a meditation and reflection period to integrate the experiences from the breathwork session. The journey concludes with a sharing circle, offering space for connection and expression. Benefits of breathwork include:

Improved sleep quality.
Reduced stress and anxiety.
A relaxed body and mind.
Enhanced mental clarity.
Pain reduction.
Decreased inflammation.

No experience is required; just come with an open mind. Participants are advised to review potential health contraindications before attending class. The cost is $25 per person. See more events at Yoga Garden PBO.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Breath work results in certain specific physiological changes in the body and can also result in intense and emotional release. If you have had or currently have any of the following conditions, permission to participate in breathwork from your healthcare provider is required:

Epilepsy.
High blood pressure is not controlled by medicine.
Cardiovascular disease.
Heart attack.
Stroke.
Glaucoma/detached retina.
Osteoporosis.
Aneurysm.
Bi-polar.
Schizophrenia.
Any other significant health challenges. If you are pregnant, you can not participate in breathwork. If you have asthma, you must have your inhaler next to you.

POSSIBLE CONTRAINDICATIONS
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD): Although many people find great healing through breathwork with regards to PTSD, clearance from your healthcare professional is required before the breathwork activity if you have a severe case or are currently under a therapist’s care. Clearance is also required for any other medical, psychiatric, or physical condition that would impair or affect the ability to engage in activities involving intense physical and/or emotional release. As breathwork can trigger strong emotional releases we want to ensure extra care and support can be provided during and after the experience.

Juneteenth Black Arts Festival
2025-06-21 16:00 - 20:00 | Chatham County Fairgrounds, 191 Fairgrounds Road, Pittsboro, NC, 27312, United States
Community Organizing for Racial Equity (CORE) welcomes you to participate in their 8th Annual Juneteenth Black Arts Festival on Sat, Jun 21, 4pm-8pm at the Chatham County Fairgrounds. Since 2018, the Juneteenth event has undergone significant transformation, growing from its initial location, which accommodated 100 people, to now drawing over 3,000 attendees from across the Triangle region.
Juneteenth Black Arts Festival is a dedicated space of reverence for the impact of Black arts and culture on American culture. They commit to offering an opportunity for Black artists and entrepreneurs to build relationships and increase their exposure across communities. They honor the creative genius and spirit of excellence that prevails within the Black community because they recognize barriers that remain in place today, excluding them from mainstream business opportunities.
All are welcome to this free community event. They have quite a festival planned for this year’s celebration, which will highlight Black artists, both local and from afar, educational opportunities about Juneteenth, the history of the celebration, the resilience of Black culture through Black arts, and a vision for liberation. Attendees can also enjoy live entertainment, art, a Black business expo, food trucks, a heritage walk, and kids’ activities, all while challenging stereotypes and building a sense of pride in the dynamic heritage of Black Americans and American culture.
