Cacao & Breathwork

Kia ora dear friends,

This winter we'd like to invite you to go deeper in your spiritual practices with us at our home in Tai Tapu.

We are collaborating with Kathy and Bruce from Birdsong Retreat to bring you half day intensives- Master Classes in Shamanic Breathwork that will begin with a Cacao Activation and end with a shared meal. 

Starting on Saturday 30th July we are inviting anyone who has breathed with Kathy before to join us from 10-2:30pm.

After the breathwork session you're invited to join us for some delicious, wholesome, Kai by the fire which we will lovingly prepare for you. It will be a gluten and dairy free delicious meal that is organic where possible.

Our intention for these longer winter sessions is to go deeper than we have before and create a strong community of people who are ready willing and able to do the work. 

If you have not breathed with Kathy before please do not secure a ticket to this event, it is an intensive.

We will offer a 'first timers' beginners class at a date in the coming weeks so you can join in for the longer sessions at a later date. Dates are being arranged soon.

About Shamanic Breathwork:

Shamanic Breathwork utilizes a dynamic breathing process called conscious connected breathing along with chakra attuned music, bodywork, and an art integration & sharing process. You are guided on a journey where you can drop deep and tune in to your inner wisdom and achieve an altered state of consciousness, by-passing the ego mind, and tap into what’s underneath the surface thereby leading you to experience whatever is needed for your highest growth and healing.

During a breathwork session, you can experience any number of states of being from anger & grief, to utter bliss and connection to the cosmos; you can have a womb memory experience (rebirth), you might uncover childhood memories; or you may experience downloads or a deep Knowing. The full spectrum of humanness is available and no two breathwork journeys are the same.

Shamanic Breathwork is a healing modality where YOU are your own healer, YOU are your own shaman, and YOU contain all the information you need for inner transformation and healing.

I endeavor to create a very safe container for YOU to undergo your process for transformation. Whatever needs to come up for you that day can come up to be seen, understood, and healed. It is imperative during these phenomenal times we are living through that all emotions are expressed and moved out of the body.
