/// ABOUT BREATHWORK ///

Just as food is medicine, so too is breath. 

There is a direct connection between the breath and your psychological, emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being. 

For the majority of us, breathing has been a subconscious behaviour for 99% of our lives. 

When breathing techniques are applied consciously, they can unlock your potential and discover all that you are capable of being in this world. You can also use them to restore your vitality and come home to your most authentic self. 

Learn the science of breath behind the techniques, how to access and influence your inner pharmacy for health and optimal performance, and the secret to manifesting.

You will also experience a potent 1-hour group breathwork session where I will guide you on a journey that integrates ancient and contemporary techniques for channelling and directing your energy to manifest what you desire. 

By the end of the workshop, you will be able to integrate a daily breathwork practice into your existing routine, which you can use as a powerful tool for the rest of your life!

/// CACAO CEREMONY ///

Cacao (Theobroma cacao) is an ancestral tree indigenous to the Amazon region of Latin America with ceremonial use dating more than 3,000 years ago back to the Mayans. 

The cacao plant is seen as a sacred plant. It has been used for a number of spiritual, medicinal, and ceremonial purposes throughout history, assisting in opening up the heart, soothing spiritual wounds, and guiding through the release of pent-up emotions.



About 'In The Flow Cacao':

Mary from 'In The Flow Cacao' will be guiding us through a beautiful heart-opening cacao ceremony using organic Cacao paste (Pure Criollo Cacao) from Peru. In Spanish, Criollo means 'of local origin'. Which is super important to them as well as ensuring they source high-quality, extremely aromatic beans. 

Containing the good stuff our body needs to function well, magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, copper, potassium, manganese, healthy fats and other compounds that increase your levels of the hormones, serotonin and dopamine.

We believe cacao ceremonies are the ultimate heart-opener, being a powerful ritual that is centuries old, we are honored to supply that experience for others.

/// TESTIMONIALS ///

"Steve has amazing knowledge on the physiology & Psychology of breathwork. He gives great scientific backup with good theory alongside a fantastic guided soma session where you can feel exactly what the breath does for you. I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to utilise natural ways to improve their health, stress levels & general outlook on life." - Ant

"I've recently had one on one breathing sessions with Steve. I've never experienced anything like it. I was in a state of debilitating mental health, a walking Zombie with no energy and constantly being unkind to myself. Then I met Steve. The sessions we had were mind-blowing, the positive energy I managed to find inside myself was amazing. The energised meditation took me to places I thought I could never explore. After a few sessions, I was able to find myself and observe myself. I could see what I really wanted from life, discover my passions and important personal values. The increase in my well-being has come on in leaps and bounds. I'm now heading in the right direction and looking forward to some group breathing. Steve is an awesome, kind, knowledgable guy and I'm so grateful for all the kindness and help he has given me." Tony
