The Breathing Room

Elizabeth Maxon

The Breathing Room is a place to pause. Are you tired of living frantic and defeated? Is the mindless busy-ness of this world driving you mad?

Join us for conversations that will refresh you and send you back out in the right direction. Sometimes we have to push back on whatever is crowding in.

To uncover the beauty and truth awaiting us. There are plenty of things in this world to weigh you down, The Breathing Room has a different goal - to leave you lighter! www.breathingroom.life
