Comparable to a weeklong psychedelic immersion into our highest selves, we will experience the profound medicine of recalibrating our nervous systems to expansive states of peace, bliss, and clarity through conscious connected breathwork. This will be a reverently curated and deeply transformative week of remembrance and liberation of our true nature. It is a delight to offer this Retreat/Training at such a powerful location for breathing and receptivity to our unlimited potential.
RETREAT DETAILS
Location
Westwind inhabits the unique ecosystem at the headwaters of the Salmon River, where river and forest meet sea and sky. Over 500 acres of Sitka Spruce-dominated coastal forest support a beautiful and intact diverse community of native species, from eagle and elk to the Oregon silverspot butterfly. The land features two miles of coastline, three miles of riverfront, and over ten miles of hiking trails. Participants in this Self Healing Path Retreat will have exclusive access to these shorelines and forest trails for the duration our week together.
Accommodations
Participants will enjoy communal lodging nestled into forest hills of Westwind. Each forest cabin will host 4-5 persons each in their own in personal beds, with a communal bathhouse a short walk away. The majority of our time in Breath together will be spent in Wilson Lodge, a communal gathering space with a historic wood-burning hearth and blue whale jawbone casting hovering above our ceremonial circle space. Meals will be enjoyed family style around a beautiful communal table, with delicious nourishment offered by Aleya Love (founder of Wild Rose Ghee).

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).
