The Breathwork Intensive
Breath is the link from our inner experience and our outer world. It infuses the body with oxygen and escorts carbon dioxide out. It can be controlled through our conscious direction or be completely forgotten, still caring for us moment by moment and keeping us alive in this world.
Traditional cultures incorporate breath work into health, spiritual, ceremonial and ritual practices. Today, modern science borrows and tests out these practices to investigate application for health and well-being in the 21st Century.
The Breath Work Intensive weaves together science, practice, ritual, self and community to offer a profound lived experience with your own breath. It is practice heavy so come ready to breathe a lot!
There was a moment where you breathed your first breath and there will be a moment when you breathe your last.
What will be your relationship in the in-between?
Breath Work Intensive Details
What Is the Breath Work Intensive?
This Intensive is a a deep dive into the science, history and practice of breath work. It will not be a superficial overview or a bunch of talking and then spending a few minutes in practice. We will be practicing, alot. Throughout the course, we will work with the edges of our comfort zones and expanding them, while staying in safety and agency in our bodies and minds.
With a deep reverence for the power of breath work to cultivate relationship with the Self, there will also be an emphasis on self-inquiry and self-exploration of your own lived experience of breath work - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
Is the Breath Work Intensive for me?
