text: The course offers her wholistic, unique approach to healing the polarizing "divides" around race, diversity and gender using Handy-Kendi's solution-based system of breathing techniques and transformative practices, called O.L.B., which includes her signature techniques, Transcendence Breathwork™ and “Relearn How to Breathe™”. Since 2004, she has trained and certified over 165 Breathologists, giving them the tools to impact everyday life, wellness, growth/development, stress/disease management, trauma/emotional release and conflict resolution. She has further, breathed with millions on the internet, radio, t.v, in print, on stage, in workshops, in private practice and as the author/producer of several breathology books, dvd’s and cd’s.Handy-Kendi affirms that her research lead her to highly effective breath techniques which unlocked the repressed memory of childhood emotional and sexual abuse, which helped heal her adult depression and addictive behavior. Applying her findings, she realized that the key to healing racism and altering un-conscious biases, is to open up and release our earliest stored programing and repressed race-based trauma/stress held in the sub-conscious, cellular memory because “we must breathe to feel to heal”. Through THE CIRCLES, she intends on creating a paradigm shift in diversity work, advancing us beyond the traditional dialogues and exercises, to thoroughly heal the deep wounds of inequality, unpack the toxic waste of race-based trauma, and open the tourniquet for our unconscious biases to shift from their earliest programming into new levels of growth and acceptance of our differences..
