SUMMARY:The Art Within: A Conscious Breathwork Journey
DESCRIPTION:The Art Within: A Conscious Breathwork Journey\nInstructor: Brian Koenig\nStart Date: Thursday\, August 27\, 2026\nSchedule: 5:00 – 7:00 pm\nCost: Member $25/ Friend & Non-Member $45\nSkill Level: All Levels\nLocation: Foothills Art Center\, Astor House\, 1133 Arapahoe St \nCourse Description:\nJust as art invites us to see the world through a new lens\, breathwork invites us to discover what already exists within us. Join us for a guided Conscious Connected Breathwork journey designed to help you slow down\, quiet the noise of everyday life\, and reconnect with yourself through the power of your breath. Using a simple\, continuous breathing technique and thoughtfully curated music\, you’ll be guided through an immersive experience that creates space for greater presence\, clarity\, and self-awareness. \nNo prior breathwork or meditation experience is necessary. You’ll be supported throughout the entire experience and encouraged to honor your own pace. Many\nparticipants leave feeling lighter\, calmer\, more connected\, and with a renewed sense of clarity – though every journey is different\, and there is no “right” way to experience it. \nWhat to bring:\n-Comfortable clothing\n-Yoga mat\n-Blanket(s)\n-Pillow(s)\n-Water bottle\n-Journal & Pen (optional)\nCome as you are\, breathe as you are\, and discover the art that already lives within you. \nAbout Your Facilitator\nBrian Koenig is a breathwork facilitator and integration coach who creates grounded\, welcoming spaces for people to slow down\, reconnect\, and explore what it means to feel more fully alive. Through Conscious Connected Breathwork\, Brian helps participants turn inward with curiosity\, compassion\, and presence\, holding a supportive container where they can arrive exactly as they are. His approach is rooted in trauma- informed practices and informed by 275+ hours of breathwork training\, Erickson Coaching\, and INELDA End-of-Life Doula training.

SUMMARY:Contemplative Memoir - September 2026
DESCRIPTION:Contemplative Memoir \nInstructor: Peter Dunne \nStart Date: Wednesday\, September 9\, 2026 \nSchedule: Wednesdays\, September 9\, 16\, 23\, 30\, 2026\, 5:30pm- 7:00pm \nCost: Member $45 / Friend & Non-Member $85 \nSkill Level: All Levels \nLocation: Foothills Art Center – Creative Campus\, 809 15th St   \nCourse Description: \nWriting a memoir may be the most challenging and consequential writing we will ever do. We think we know ourselves well enough to write about our lives\, but the effort seems daunting\, and its value dubious. After all\, how do we begin to choose which stories to tell from all the days and years? And who cares? First of all\, no life is ordinary. No life is without miracles and magic\, great loss and great love. And probably no life is more crucial for our children to understand then ours\, because they share more than our genetics\, they share our spiritual DNA. What made us who we are\, helps them see who they can become. In that sense\, we leave them with more than stories. We leave them with meaning and hope.  \nContact: For any questions\, please email Leslie Fitzsimmons at leslie@foothillsartcenter.org. \n***To receive the Member / Open Studio rate – please “login” the upper right- hand corner of this page with the email associated with your membership*** \nPlease Note: Classes and workshops may be cancelled if enrollment minimums are not reached.
