The breath is the most accurate and instantaneous mirror for how we feel, think and live.  It provides the opportunity to look at whether what we take in is nourishing and life giving or toxic and depleting. By consciously connecting with the breath through a safe and gentle process, we are updating these feelings, thoughts and physical sensations to live with more happiness, ease and pleasure in life. Think of it as a re-boot to your body, mind and spirit when the system is sluggish or not functioning optimally.

Breathwork is a revolutionary approach to body-centered healing. The benefits of breathwork can include:  more clarity, reduced anxiety and depression, increased stress-resilience, increased energy, feelings of more ease and flow in life, decreased physical pain, heightened insight, awakened presence, expanded sense of connection with self and others.

In this retreat, we couple breath with sound healing. The foundation of sound healing is that everything in the universe is in a constant state of vibration, including every bone, tissue, organ and cell in our body. When we are in a state of sound health, all of our body parts are vibrating harmoniously at their optimal or resonant frequency. When our vibration is not in sync with our optimal frequency we can feel out of sorts, imbalanced and depleted. What we are going for through sound healing is a whole system that is in resonance and has a healthy vibration. It is in this state that we deepen our state of relaxation, reduce anxiety and tension, and get a boost to the immune system.

Breath and sound healing are powerful ways to access higher states of well being allowing you to feel more energized, balanced and uplifted.
