Learning to breathe is one of your body's best kept health secrets and the most important thing you can do to support your physical and mental health.
Join psychotherapist, art therapist and 'breathwork lady', Esther Kalaba for a rejuvenating weekend away in the country, surrounded by fields, forest, fresh air, and silence to experience the transformative power of your breath.
It's time to take a break from all of your responsibilites to re-connect to yourself and your life force energy through your breath.
Throughout the retreat you will be guided step by step through various techniques from the Begin with Breath program so that you deepen your body awareness and learn the breath basics.
You will experience the profound therapeutic effects of breathwork on reducing stress, anxiety, emotional regulation and strengthening your nervous system. Best of all, you will leave with a tool box of breathwork practices that you can turn to in times of stress... all while having a lot of fun (laughter is included in the curriculum!).
This weekend getaway is an opportunity to be nourished and find inner balance with a supportive community. There is plenty of time for nature walks, art therapy, journaling, and deep rest.
This retreat is suitable for beginners or more experienced meditation practitioners. It is a wonderful self-care activity for people who work in health care or social service positions. Please contact us if you have any questions about whether this retreat is right fit for you.
