Deep Space Breathwork and Sound Experience: Journey Within - The Art of Conscious Breathing & Sound Healing
With John Minks and Billy Pinkerton
May 16 - 18, 2025
“Breathwork is not just about breathing; it’s about awakening. Through conscious breathing, you break free from old patterns, releasing limitations and awakening to new possibilities.” Dan Brule
Join us for a transformative journey as we explore the art of conscious breathing. Conscious breathing is an empowering practice that allows for self exploration and healing. This retreat is designed to help you discover the profound effects of breathwork and sound healing and how these practices can transform your life. The main breathwork technique that will be used is the connected breath.
With eyes closed and comfortably lying on a mat, each participant is guided to use their breath to enter a state of expanded consciousness and deep relaxation. Billy is an expert at guiding people into a deep connection to the breath and John will be creating the soundscape and also guiding breathwork sessions.
This synergy of breath and sound facilitates expanded consciousness and a profound connection to self, enabling healing and psychedelic experiences. Each session will be a journey inward, exploring your own inner landscapes through powerful breath techniques and the resonance of sound healing instruments.
Our goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you can experience the power of breath and sound as tools for healing and self-discovery.
