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).
