Breathwork with Allison Tilluma: A Guided Journey Inward
Some things can’t be thought through. They have to be felt.
Maybe it’s the shoulders that crept up on the drive home and never came back down. Maybe it’s the “I’m fine” you’ve said so many times you’ve started to believe it. Most of us carry more than we realize, and we’re too busy to stop and notice.
Breathwork is one of the most direct ways to do that.
In this 90 minute class, Allison guides you through conscious connected breathing, a continuous, circular breath that carries you past the noise of the mind and into a deep, focused state. With evocative music and her gentle guidance, the breath does the work. Energy moves. Mental fog clears. Feelings that have been waiting quietly, like the sadness that only shows up in the shower, often rise and release.
Afterward, there’s time to journal and integrate, so whatever surfaced has somewhere to land.
People often leave feeling lighter, clearer, and kinder to themselves. It can be especially meaningful during a hard season, when you need to remember the strength you’ve been quietly drawing on all along.
This class is for you if:
<ul>
<li>The sigh you let out when you finally sit down, is as if you’d been holding it since morning</li>
<li>Answering “I’m fine” so many times you’ve started to believe it</li>
<li>Snapping at someone you love, then realizing you’re not actually mad at them</li>
<li>Sadness shows up in the shower, when it’s finally quiet</li>
</ul>
No experience necessary. Just bring a willingness to see what’s inside.
About Allison

Little Theatre of Alexandria

The Little Theatre of Alexandria's 2026–27 season continues with the romantic musical She Loves Me, running October 17 – November 7, 2026.
In a charming 1930s European perfumery, shop clerks Georg and Amalia can't stand each other. They bicker across the counter by day, never suspecting that each is the anonymous pen pal the other has been falling for by letter. As the holidays approach and the mystery unravels, two unlikely sweethearts discover that love may have been right in front of them all along. Set to a lush, witty score, it's the same timeless story that inspired the film You've Got Mail.
Book by Joe Masteroff Music by Jerry Bock Lyrics by Sheldon Harnick Based on the play Parfumerie by Miklós László
Directed and choreographed by Mitchell Aiello, with music direction by Isabel Hernandez-Cata. Produced by Eleanore Tapscott and assistant produced by Cassie Cope.

National Academy of Sciences

This premier event honors and celebrates the prestigious incoming cohort of 22 ARCS MWC Scholars pursuing significant research in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) at our five partner universities (identified below). 
The event underscores the importance of ARCS MWC funding in today’s changing financial landscape for scientists and engineers. Moreover, the sustained technical leadership of our keynote speaker, an ARCS MWC Scholar Alum, illustrates the impact that ARCS support has on U.S. innovation, competitiveness, and national security. Attend this event to learn more about ARCS MWC and STEM philanthropy! 
A reception highlighted by a poster session showcasing each Scholar’s cutting-edge research will open the event. ARCS MWC is extremely pleased to welcome Dr. Gurpartap “GP” Sandhoo as the 2026 SAR keynote speaker. Dr. Sandhoo is the Director of the Space Development Agency and the Space Force Portfolio Acquisition Executive for Missile Warning and Tracking. A renowned national security and technology leader across the private and public sectors, he is a veteran of more than 36 years in the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps. Dr. Sandhoo was an ARCS MWC Scholar during 1995-97 while he was earning his DSc at The George Washington University. In his keynote presentation, he will discuss his career and how ARCS made a difference, both while he was a scholar and now. Co-Presidents Julie Hohl and Jane Riddle say “Dr. Sandhoo’s career reflects the heights our Scholar Alums reach as leaders advancing U.S. competitiveness and national security, emphasizing the continuing importance of the ARCS MWC mission, particularly now given reduced U.S. funding for science and engineering.”
More information about the event and registration can be found at <a href="https://www.RSVPtoARCS-MWC.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.RSVPtoARCS-MWC.org</a>.ARCS MWC, chartered in 1968, has donated $9.3 million through 825 Scholar awards at its five local partner universities, forwarding 100% of corporate, foundation, and individual donations each year to chapter Scholars.
