Somatic Breathwork and Immersive Sound Bath for First Responders

First responders are invited to join others for somatic breathwork and an immersive sound bath on Tuesday, May 14 from 5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. Connect with your breath, get out of your mind, and into your body with experienced facilitator, Randy Gates. He is a breathwork facilitator and wellness educator, and a professional firefighter with Truckee Meadows Fire & Rescue in Washoe County. In addition, he is a member of their peer support team and health and wellness committee. He has a master’s degree in education.

Every human, firefighter, first responder, and veteran deserves the opportunity to thrive in this lifetime. Overwhelming, stress, distraction, depression, and anxiety prevent many of us from fully experiencing thriving. Breath of Fire can help bring you closer to this balanced state.

Transformational Breathwork is not just another technique or protocol, it is an experience. This style of breathwork has the potential to offer deep healing, growth, creativity, connection, surrender, support, and love.

From a peer support and mental health perspective, these experiences have huge benefits. The focus is to help first responders and their partners manage stress, anxiety, and depression through behaviors/practices on the front end that prevent a critical overload or breaking point.

Many individuals and first responders spend the majority of their waking hours hyper-vigilant and in their head problem-solving and rationalizing. This is a challenging state to rest, heal, and grow in.

This experience is a full somatic experience.

In other words, you will have the opportunity to set down your armor, fully surrender, and get into an altered state of consciousness that shifts perspective and allows you to connect with your body.

In our body is where we often store unprocessed emotions, trauma, etc. This physical practice can acknowledge and even move, shift, or release that energy. Music and vibrational sound also have the ability to affect our consciousness. Stacking these together creates a very powerful experience. If this peaks your curiosity, come join us. Come experience transformational breathwork stacked with an electronic music vibrational journey.

There will be Tibetan singing bowls rang on each participant during the journey, along with reiki being performed on participants. Anyone experiencing anxiety, fear, or blocks related to the experience is invited to come early and receive an Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) or “tapping” session to prepare them for the journey.

Randy has a passion for teaching and emphasizes the value of proactive practices/habits to minimize stress, depression, and anxiety. He is a Truckee local and an original member of the community maker space, the Truckee Roundhouse.

Randy recognizes the value of creative outlet for his personal growth and happiness. He emphasizes finding your creative outlet as a key component for thriving. Randy is a metal sculptor and a DJ. His passion for electronic music and helping individuals heal is how he came to these unique live DJ transformational breathwork journeys.
