This is a special online Breathwork Ceremony with 100% of proceeds being donated to the Give A Little page setup to raise money to bring Ari home to Aotearoa and support his whānau through this time. Ari Mustonen passed away suddenly and unexpectedly in Costa Rica on his 35th birthday.

Ari was an incredible human and friend of mine. He was so pumped to be a qualified Owaken breathwork facilitator and had such a bright future. His light touched so many. Fly free soul brother!

Experience the magic of your BREATH!

This is an event designed to help you up-level, clear your subconscious of what's holding you back, help you tap into your intuition and move through some grief if you knew Ari.

During this 2 hour ceremony, you'll learn how to do the conscious connected breathwork technique, ways to support and resource yourself throughout and a full 60 min breathwork journey with space for integration and sharing about your experience at the end, if you want to share. You'll leave with more tools to support you in your day to day life and a profound experience.
