Wild Breathwork - Cultivate Wholeness

Wild Breathwork – February 8, 2025

About this workshop

The breath is one of the most powerful transformative tools we have to access our essence and potential. Breathwork uses the breath (full, conscious, connected breathing) to clear unresolved issues, limiting beliefs and past events in our lives that are standing in the way of us reaching our potential, allowing our fulfilment of dreams and feeling alive, happy and inspired. It is a participant focused self-generated process. The aim of Breathwork is the expansion of awareness, and becoming more enlightened with, and accepting of oneself.

This workshop is open to all genders and is limited to 12 participants.

What is the ‘Wild Mind‘: Our wild minds possess astonishing resources, untapped potentials and depths that we might not even know exist until we discover how to access them, cultivate their powers, and eventually integrate them into our everyday lives. We will frame our breathwork experience with an exploration of the ‘Wild Mind’ map of the human psyche.

What is Breathwork?

Breathwork is an umbrella term for various types of conscious and controlled breathing practices that have the power to improve your physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.

It is a contemporary form of pranayama, a practice with a long history on the Indian subcontinent. Breath-centred practices and meditations can be found in many ancient cultures and traditions, including Taoism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Yoga, Qigong, Shamanism, Sufism, and martial arts.

For this workshop, we will practice breathwork as originally taught by Leonard Orr (RIP).

This uses a very gentle circular breathing process to enable a release of physical, emotional and mental stress, energise the body and induce a deep state of relaxation and clarity of mind. We may also delve into art therapy following your breathwork session. Breathwork is:

a tool for inner work using full, conscious connected breathing
a technique that can provide resolution and clearing of issues, patterns and limiting beliefs
spontaneous and organic
beyond the mundane
a sacred, soulful experience

Every session is different as Breathwork is an organic, self-generated process. Participants can have a physical, emotional, mental and/or spiritual/soulful experience during their session (usually a combination of a few of these).
