Stress Relief Tools to Support Wellbeing

Nourish your mind, body, and spirit; relieve stress; and enhance your physical and mental health in this rejuvenating program. Breath-Body-Mind is a unique fusion of Coherent Breathing, Qigong, Yoga, Space Meditation (Open Focus Attention Training), martial arts, and other practices. These ancient methods are optimized by modern neuroscience.  

In this retreat, you will learn simple, trauma-sensitive techniques—primarily breathing practices with gentle movement, music, and imagery for relief of stress, fatigue, anxiety, insomnia, depression, PTSD, and pain. Discover how these techniques are used for personal development, clinical practice, medical settings, schools, disaster recovery, coaching, combat recovery, rehabilitation, and sports performance.

In this program, you will:

• Experience rounds of movement and breath, including Coherent Breathing, Breath Moving, Sky and Earth, Painting the Waterfall, and The Great Harmonizer of the Breath, which can be done standing or sitting.
• Cultivate interoceptive and mindful awareness of breath and psychophysiological states
• Enhance learning by participating in group processes.
• Discover research evidence indicating that specific breath techniques (combined with other practices) lead to significant rapid improvements in psychological and physical symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
• Understand how breath practices rapidly improve sympatho-vagal balance, emotion regulation, and symptom resolution in a wide variety of disorders and populations.  
• Explore polyvagal theory, trauma-related disorders, emotion regulatory circuits, neuroplasticity, and social engagement networks.

Immerse yourself in a joyful, life-changing experience and return home with stress relief tools to support your wellbeing.
