Breathwave Level 1 | The Self Healing Path Retreat
July 4th — 10th, Leavenworth, WA @ Snowgrass Lodge
RETREAT DETAILS
Location
Snowgrass Lodge rests on four acres just above the rushing waters of the Wenatchee River. With majestic views of the Cascade Mountains, a sprawling lawn, and river access just steps away, Snowgrass Lodge is an idyllic Summer setting for our us to retreat into the mountainous beauty that is Leavenworth, WA and the self-healing headwaters that is the Breath.
We see the Land as an extension of this weeklong ceremony and honor the Wenatchi tribes who have historically tended and communed with these sacred landscapes.
Food
Meals will be enjoyed buffet style in the communal lodge offered by Aleya Love (founder of Wild Rose Ghee & my beloved partner in life). All our meals will be made using organic, wholesome ingredients, sourced as locally and vitally as possible.
We see our relationship with food as an integral extension of this weeklong ceremony, the Breath just happens to be the most essential way to re-sensitize and reclaim conscious connection with all of life, beginning with our own bodies.
(disclosure: the majority of participants end up admitting they would have paid full price for this retreat just to receive Aleya’s delicious nourishment for one week!)
Accommodations
Participants will enjoy the comforts of Snowgrass’ communal lodging with the option of private or shared beds in a variety of bedroom settings (private, shared, communal). Requests for accommodation needs will be thoughtfully considered on a first-come first-served basis, with preference for our elders and couples sharing a bed.
We see this week as an opportunity to practice deep care and connection with our larger community. While sharing a communal lodge may feel new to some, participants consistently share how positive and healing their experience of community is due to the brave space we breathe into being together. We look forward to cultivating this redemptive experience of community with you!

Breathwave Level 1 | The Self Healing Path Retreat
July 4th — 10th, Leavenworth, WA @ Snowgrass Lodge
What is Breathwave?
Breathwave is an internationally-acclaimed breathwork modality where participants learn to inspire deep wellness and wonder for their lives through conscious breathing. With the support of certified Breathwave facilitators, breathers are guided out of self-defeating respiratory habits and into profound states of psychosomatic healing and self-revelation.
What makes Breathwave unique amongst breathwork modalities?
Breathwave is a powerfully gentle approach to conscious connected breathing. As a peaceful and pauseless breath circulates through the body, unconscious breathing patterns arise that may impede an optimal flow of respiratory energy. Breathwave facilitators are trained to help individuals correct these unwholesome patterns by using hands-on support, direct verbal coaching, and compassionate affirmations. Once these unwholesome patterns are corrected, individuals can experience the power of a coherent, autonomic breath rhythm— a peak somatic healing experience unique to Breathwave’s gentle approach to conscious breathing.
What is The Self Healing Path Retreat?
This retreat is Breathwave’s Level 1* training, designed for anyone ready to welcome more peace, inspiration, insight, self-love, and practical healing into their lives. For five days, we dive in to the full potential and healing power of Conscious Connected Breathing, experiencing first-hand the physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual benefits and breakthroughs for our lives.
With the guidance of a Senior Breathwave trainer and a team of trained Breathwave facilitators, Level 1 participants are guided through ten Breathwave ceremonies based in the elemental wisdoms of Earth, Water, Fire & Ether as well as Patrick’s expertise in Integral Psychotherapy, transpersonal integration and group council.
*Level 1 is also the prerequisite for those seeking to train in Breathwave Facilitation (Level 2).
