    Making Good Soil: How Breathwork & Compassion Nourish True Growth with Christine Calvert (Ep. 125)

    "Composting the Soul: Breathwork, Rupture & Becoming Rich Soil" In this deeply embodied episode of The Vital Point, host Jonathan Schecter sits down with breathwork facilitator Christine Calvert for a conversation that goes beyond breath. Together, they explore what it means to become "good soil"-to continually allow inner death and rebirth, to trust the wisdom within, and to honor the edgy, slow, tender ways growth actually happens. Discover the powerful synergies between Holotropic breathwork and Somatic Experiencing, and the liberation of embracing rupture, and learning to repair. If you're doing deep, integrative work, inside or alongside others—this episode is a balm for the inner facilitator, the seeker, the human who wants to show up more fully. Listen close, let it land, and may it become good soil for your next growth.
