A Five-Day Transformational Breathwork Retreat in Scotland
to Find More Freedom and Connection

Treat yourself to an immersive breathwork exploration, in beautiful surroundings and luxurious accommodation.

In Breathe and Begin, you’ll learn how to use Conscious Connected Breathing as a foundation for growth, both personal and professional. Whether you wish to deepen your own practice, integrate breathwork as a personal tool to be more present into your work as a coach, therapist or counsellor, or simply reconnect with your inner sacred self, this retreat gives you the space and guidance to explore.

You’ll discover the Five Elements of breathwork and learn how these principles can support transformation, resilience and self-connection both within sessions and your daily life.

Between sessions, you will also have the opportunity to enjoy outdoor swimming in the loch, hiking through the surrounding hills and forests, or relaxing in the outdoor hot tub, the perfect way to unwind and reconnect with nature.

This immersive program is going to help you to not only release and restore, to create a sense of freedom into yourself, but also to understand and integrate breathing tools you can use long after the retreat ends.
