a monthly five-part breathwork intensive series
February 24, March 23, April 13, May 11, June 1, 2024

Are you ready to take your personal journey to a deeper level of integration?
Do you want to better understand and transform your patterns and grow?

This monthly five-part breathwork series will facilitate personal transformation through the release of limiting patterns, and through a deeper integration of self and connection with Life. With two conscious connected breath sessions each day, you will be supported as you delve into your personal process and healing. In conjunction with this breathwork, the five Reichian character structures identified by Wilhelm Reich and Alexander Lowen will be explored. Understanding these characterologies may provide you with deeper insight into the coping mechanisms you adopted at certain stages of your development, and how they may have shaped you and your interaction with your world. Reich and Lowen observed correlations between character structures and physical attributes such as posture, musculature, body shape and bands of tension (AKA armouring). Conscious connected breathwork can gently de-armour and enable feelings of greater connectedness, expansion and alignment with your heart, purpose and essential self.

 

In our monthly intensives we will examine one character structure per month and then engage in self-reflection and group sharing to facilitate greater self-understanding and integration. Breathwork will support you in deepening your experience and in releasing tension and blocks. You will be invited to connect within, and to explore new ways of being physically, emotionally and spiritually. 

 

This five-part series will also provide a solid foundation for the breathwork faciliator’s training to be offered in fall 2024.
