Laurie Ellis-Young Birthday Fundrasier - A Huge Success!

This year Laurie asked for donations to fund a 5-day in-person Train-the-Trainer
workshop in Cyprus for exiled Ukrainian psychologists.

Co-authors Laurie Ellis-Young and George T. Ellis PsyD wrote much of their book, Breath Is Life TAKING IN and LETTING GO: How to Live Well, Love Well, BE Well while living in Ukraine from 2016-2021 while Dr. Ellis worked for The Organization for Cooperation and Security in Europe (OCSE) establishing a mental health program for OCSE Peace Monitors and staff working in critical situations throughout Ukraine.

Since the war started in February, Ukrainians have experienced devastating war-related atrocities and trauma. Psychologists, many of whom are now exiled all over Europe, are traumatized themselves yet continue to help people as best they can.

In response to this grave need, Dr. George and Laurie started offering weekly zoom sessions to support these struggling mental health professionals. Participating psychologists benefitted from online sessions so much that they asked Dr. George and Laurie to help accelerate their learning with in-person training at a central location in Europe.

Costs seemed prohibitive, so just before her birthday in August Laurie put out a call for donations and within a short time over $10,000 was raised to support an in-person workshop in Cyprus.

Ukrainian Psychologist and participant Natalie Verzun wrote,

“I am very grateful to my American colleagues for such a unique training that is so desperately needed for Ukrainian professionals right now. The deep dive into neuropsychology with Dr. Ellis and learning stress-reducing breathing techniques from the inspirational breath pioneer Laurie Ellis-Young was beyond my expectations.”

Laurie and Dr. George are delighted with the outcome, and deeply grateful to the communities that helped make it happen. Their work continues and ongoing support is greatly appreciated. If you would like to help, please consider donating.

UPCOMING RETREAT

Breath IS Life: The WHY, WOW & HOW of Optimal Breathing Retreat & Training with Laurie Ellis-Young

Lake Atitlan, Guatemala
January 28 - February 4, 2023

You are invited to the magical, Mayan paradise of Lake Atitlan, Guatemala (what Aldous Huxley called “the most beautiful lake in the world”) to breathe like you’ve never breathed before. You will explore how your breathing is both an ART and a SCIENCE, while harnessing its “super-powers” for more: Presence, Peace, Power, Poise, Pausitivity, Play, Patience, Passion & Purpose in order to live your most fulfilling life.

​

For many of us, the world seems crazy right now and there is nothing we can really do about it. Yet masters have always told us that if we want to change the world we must begin with ourselves. How we breathe is core to who we are. How we breathe is how we live life. Join us!
