A transformative Breathwork journey through your shadows to your radiance
In this breathwork retreat, we consciously encounter what is often hidden: our shadow parts, unloved feelings and unheard inner voices. Through the powerful practice of conscious, intensified breathing, we create space to lovingly explore these parts. The breath guides us - gently yet powerfully - through inner landscapes: into the darkness, through resistance, towards the light that dwells in everything. It is not about fighting the shadows, but about understanding them, integrating them, perhaps even recognizing the light in them and thus bringing out your full radiance.
A space for real transformation: mindfully held, lovingly accompanied on your path to inner wholeness
In a protected setting, through mindful guidance and a loving community, a space is created in which profound transformation becomes possible. A dance between light and shadow - and perhaps a step closer to the person you really are, because what really defines us can often be found at the core of the shadow. Your breath becomes a compass on the path to greater wholeness, clarity and inner freedom.
We create a very special breathing space for you: Eileen + Regina - Conscious Connected Breathwork meets Psychedelic Breath
In this retreat, you can expect a deep breathing space created from the powerful combination of two proven approaches. Together, Eileen and Regina open up a space in which Psychedelic Breath and Conscious Connected Breathwork complement and enrich each other in a meaningful way.
While Psychedelic Breath provides support and direction through clear linguistic guidance and rhythmic impulses, Conscious Connected Breathwork opens up a wide space for individual processes - intuitive, free and supported by the natural flow of breath. Between these two poles - structure and freedom, depth and breadth - a consciously designed experiential space is created that makes transformative breathing experiences possible.
This retreat thrives on the connection between two professional breathing paths and trust in the power of togetherness. In mindful co-creation, we will accompany you through this intensive journey - clearly, lovingly and with an open heart.
Community & Karma Yoga (assistance)
An essential part of the retreat is the idea of community. The nature house in which we will be staying creates space for encounters through its architecture and furnishings alone: the house is there just for us as a group, has an open kitchen and shared bathrooms. In the spirit of an appreciative and lively community, participants are asked to help out (approx. one hour a day), as is often the case on retreats.
Feeding - nourishing - thus becomes our communal task: each person present gives a piece of themselves to the group with loving attentiveness and receives just as much loving, nourishing care from everyone else in return. A nice side effect is that the cost of food can be kept very low, although we will be consuming excellent food. The tasks range from chopping the food to washing the pots and will be clarified and distributed on the day of arrival.

What you can expect
On this weekend, you can expect a total of three intensive breathing journeys that will take you into both the light and shadow spaces. In this retreat, we combine the guided technique of Psychedelic Breath with the completely technique-free Conscious Connected Breathwork. Through the power of breathing, the doors to unconscious processes open and a profound transformation becomes possible.
During the day, we start with morning practices such as yoga, meditation and mindful movement to harmonize body and mind. In the evening, a mix of relaxation, rituals and community awaits you: sauna & campfire invite you to relax and reflect on the day in peace, while the Ecstatic Dance experience allows you to celebrate life with free expression and movement.
Special highlight: during a cacao ceremony we open our hearts so that we can meet the darkness with love.
