Breathwork Immersion: Deepening Intimacy

Facebook Event

Join us on a transformative journey of self-discovery and liberation at a weekend breathwork immersion that combines the potent practices of breathwork, dance, ritual play, tantra, inquiry, sound baths, and meditation. Guided by our shared passion for unlocking the body’s energetic potential and our hearts, we invite you for the journey to open to more intimacy, sensuality, and sweetness in your life.

“I came to this retreat feeling tired, vulnerable and a bit stressed and I left feeling so much release in my body, feeling alive again and with peace in mind. Anelia and Mateusz held a beautiful space, a great teamwork. The breathwork sessions were amazing! Thank you!” – Ayiana

What to expect

During that edition of Breathwork Immersion, we will center our attention on becoming more intimate and sensual. Using the power of breathwork, authentic relating, and tantra, we will be exploring the possibility to expand our energetic hearts and physical ribcage, to open up to more refinement, love, care, sweetness, and pleasure. That process will be guided both in relationship to oneself but also in relationship to other participants, inviting exercises of conscious touch, primal play, connection in the states of presence.

From Friday evening to Sunday afternoon, immerse yourself in a diverse array of workshops, including various breathwork modalities: Biodynamic Breathwork, Tantric Breathwork, ritual play, cacao ceremony, ecstatic dance, conscious touch, inquiry practices, sound baths, meditation, and relational embodiment exercises. The combined technology of these practices for many participants enhances the connection to their body, invites emotional and energetic release, expanded states of consciousness, and insights about personality structure and behavioral patterns.

Who is this for?

This extended weekend is designed for individuals yearning to connect more with their hearts and create more space for the qualities of love, care, sweetness, and pleasure. We welcome participants who are having the experience of not feeling fully satisfied with intimacy, relationships, and being authentic in connection with others. It is likely that you will have the chance to see your patterns more clearly, feel them on the level of your body, and release some of the blockages through breathwork and movement. The structure we create is also welcoming for those who are longing for deepening connection to their own sensuality, capacity to feel care for their own body, and to feel gently loving toward the wounded aspects of ego personality.

Inclusivity & Connection

Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or a newcomer, this event welcomes participants of all levels of experience. Throughout the weekend, you’ll be part of small pods, fostering a sense of safety and continuity. The connections formed during the event will extend beyond, as you’re invited to continue your journey with your small group after the retreat.

Group work is an intentional and important part of that Immersion. Groups are potent vehicles for transformation as over the course of a few days we relax into more safety and trust, allowing for more vulnerability, and being seen for who we really are. We believe that such experiences have healing potential that goes beyond doing any type of ‘exercises’ or ‘therapy’, and the structure of the immersion is created in a way to support these processes.

What inspires us?

Rooted in the belief that the combination of breathwork, movement, and self-awareness can be a powerful catalyst for personal transformation, we have crafted a unique experience that integrates embodiment, relational dynamics, and introspection. We recognize that sometimes the journey of self-discovery and trauma work can be focused on pain, wounds, and dysfunctions, and some of us find it difficult to allow ourselves to recognize pleasure, contentment, and joy. We would like to invite you for the journey on which our intention is to find a healthy balance between trauma-oriented exploration and recognition of our inherent wholeness, celebrating it, and feeling joy and pleasure.

Testimonials after the previous edition of “Breathwork Immersion”

“Mateusz and Anelia are really experienced healers. As a participant you can really feel their engangement, their love and passion for this work. You feel safe to open up as they radiate care and safety and are not afraid to be vulnerable themselves.“

“I had an amazing experience on a Life force immersion. The complete team was so skillful, grounded and loving. I felt welcomed from start, you can feel how excited they are to share their knowledge and to assist you in a beautiful emotional journey. They were patient with explaining everything, if you are anxious but you want to try something like this, trust me they will take time to explain everything that surrounds you, what will happen in a day and in exercise, your nervous system can relax and explore. In a last breath work I connected to my joy, my life energy, that’s something I was searching for for a last 4 years since my divorce so for me this event was life changing. Highly recommend ❤️”
