Discover the Transformational Magic of the Breath
We’ve found that the breath is one of quickest access points inwards, to connect back into ourselves, to release layers of conditioning, to give us the courage to face our shadow selves. And yes it can be challenging, but the rewards reaped are far greater.
It’s a place where you can truly meet yourself. Even after years of trying different practices and modalities this is one of the few places we’ve met ourselves fully, without judgement. We’ve experienced the essence of ourselves, in this space where pure love exists. A place where words will never quite do it justice, but it is revolutionary to discover.
Together Donna and I will hold a fun and transformative space, This upcoming workshop will explore the powerful combination of Hawa breathwork and contrast therapy, offering an opportunity to reconnect with yourself and experience deep inner healing.
10am ~ Opening Sacred Sharing Circle, with Cacao and Meditation. Here we come together as a collective and set our intentions from this heart opened, expansive state.
10.30am ~ Learn more about the immense health benefits of consciously breathing along with an introductory breathwork session.
12pm ~ Movement Practice. We move to stoke our inner fire and melt away any stagnant waters within and anything else that needs to be shifted. It’s when we drop out of minds and into the body that we remember the essence of who we are, and discover the innate wisdom resides within.
1pm ~ Lunch. It’s time to replenish the body with a nutritious nourishing lunch made with fresh seasonal and ingredients which are locally sourced and organic where possible.
2pm ~ Yoga Nidra. Designed to invoke a deep sense of relaxation, regeneration and replenishment of the body, whilst stilling the mind and resetting the nervous system. We will be working more deeply with intention (Sankalpa) to plant the seed deep within your mind (and neural pathways) for what you’re calling into your life.
2.30pm ~ Breathwork. In the rhythm of our breath lies the key to unlocking our deepest sensations. When we embrace it fully, our breath becomes a gentle yet potent force, moving us from within. As we surrender to its flow, tensions melt away, paving the path for newfound spaces within us to blossom - an invitation into curiosity and expansion.
3.30pm ~ Tea and snacks.
4pm ~ Contrast Therapy session. Now it’s time to meet yourself in the ice. There is nothing like a cold immersion to meet your mind where it’s at and we’ve found there’s nothing quite like this experience to bring you into pure present awareness. The combination of breath and cold immersion has been scientifically proven to reduce inflammation in the body, which is the root cause of many health issues, including auto immune diseases. This is followed by an infrared sauna session that detoxifies the body, along with numerous other benefits. And then if you’re feeling brave there is the opportunity to face the cold once again. We do this for the brown fat activation, which is the good fat that we need more of! This is what stokes our metabolism and helps to prevent diabetes and heart disease.
5.00 pm ~ Fire ceremony and closing circle. Having ignited our fires within, it is time to light a literal fire, with the chance to offer anything up that you may wish to release or transform. This could be in the form of written words, artwork or offerings from this earth.
Please note that this itinerary is a guide to give you indication of what to expect for the day and could potentially be moved around a bit. Timing can vary depending on how much people share in the beginning circle, for example, but we will ensure the day has come to completion by 5.30pm so that those needing to get the 6pm ferry home can do so. We highly recommend extending your stay here and booking a night or two to really integrate the learnings from the day.
