THE RETURN - BREATHWORK | ON THE LAND

THE RETURN - BREATHWORK | ON THE LAND

A Saturday morning to get out of town, onto the land and return to what matters.

Please note: October’s gathering will be held on Saturday 24 October (the fourth Saturday), before The Return resumes its usual third Saturday of the month rhythm from November.

Held on the third Saturday of every month at Keith's Gate, The Return is a regular gathering on 44 acres of private land outside Glen Innes.

Cacao. Breathwork. Music. Sound. Food. Fire. Land. Community.

The Return is a little different to our Glen Innes gatherings.

There’s more space here. More time outside. No traffic going past the door. Just open sky, old trees, fresh country air and a few hours away from everything.

A chance to slow down, breathe and spend some time on the land before heading back into life.

You don’t need any experience with breathwork.

You don’t need to be “spiritual”.

You don’t need to know what you’re supposed to feel, do or experience.

Just come as you are.

WHAT TO EXPECT

We’ll begin by arriving and settling into the space together before sharing ceremonial cacao and moving into a guided breathwork journey.

The breathwork itself is an immersive experience supported by music, live instruments, sound and scent.

Every experience is different.

There might be stillness. There might be emotion. There might be laughter, tears, movement, sound or deep rest.

Or you might simply spend a few hours breathing on the land and leave feeling a little more settled than when you arrived.

There is nothing you need to achieve here.

No performance. No expectation. No pressure to have some enormous breakthrough.

Just space to breathe, feel and reconnect.

Afterwards, there’s no need to jump straight in the car and race back into the world.

We’ll share a light meal together and have some time to land before everyone heads home.

THE BREATHWORK

The breathwork is guided throughout, so you don’t need to know what you’re doing beforehand.

You’ll be invited into a conscious connected breathing practice while lying comfortably on your mat.

Music, live instruments, sound and scent are woven throughout the experience, with periods of active breathing balanced with opportunities to slow down, rest and integrate.

You are always in control of your own experience.

You can slow your breathing, return to normal breathing, sit up or stop at any point.

THE CACAO

We’ll share ceremonial cacao together before the breathwork begins.

For us, cacao is part of slowing down, gathering intentionally and arriving into the space together before we breathe.

There’s no pressure to drink a particular amount. You're welcome to have less or choose not to drink cacao at all.

WHY THE LAND?

Keith's Gate is our home and 44 acres of land we're slowly bringing back to life.

It's where we live, raise our kids, grow food, keep animals, gather around fires and build whatever this place is becoming.

And there's something different about gathering here.

You get out of town.

You lose reception.

You can hear the birds, the wind, whatever the animals are carrying on about that morning 😂

And for a few hours, there's not much else you need to do.

The Return is one small part of what we're building here.

A place people can keep coming back to.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

Maybe life has been busy lately.

Maybe you spend most of your week inside, working, driving, looking at screens or doing things for everyone else.

Maybe you've breathed with us in Glen and feel called to come experience it out here.

Maybe you've never done anything like this before.

Or maybe you just want to get out of town for a morning, breathe some fresh air and see what happens.

That's enough.

You don't need previous experience with cacao, breathwork or ceremony.

Come as you are.

If you have never attended a breathwork gathering at Keith's Gate before, choose First Time at Keith's Gate.

If you've previously attended a breathwork gathering here on the land, choose Returning to Keith's Gate.

Attending one of our Glen Innes gatherings does not count as a previous Keith's Gate gathering.

Your place is confirmed upon booking.

Spaces are limited and bookings are essential. No walk ins. Please make sure you've booked your place before arriving.

HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS

Conscious connected breathwork can be physically and emotionally intense and may not be appropriate for everyone.

Please contact Brendan before booking if you are pregnant or have a history of cardiovascular conditions, uncontrolled high blood pressure, epilepsy or seizures, severe respiratory conditions, recent major surgery or injury, or another medical or psychological condition that may be affected by intensive breathwork.

This allows us to explain the practice and any available modifications, but we cannot determine your individual medical suitability for participation.

If you are uncertain whether participating is appropriate for you, please speak with an appropriately qualified healthcare professional beforehand.

The practice can be modified and participation is always your choice. You are welcome to slow down, return to normal breathing or stop at any point.

A REGULAR RETURN TO THE LAND

The Return happens on the third Saturday of every month.

That's really the point of the name.

Not another experience to collect.

Not somewhere you come once, have a big moment and never think about again.

Just somewhere that's here.

Month after month.

The fire gets lit. The cacao gets poured. We breathe. We eat. We sit around for a while.

Then everyone heads back out the gate and into their lives.

And next month, we do it again.

Reset. Release. Return.
