Breath Techniques

Breathing techniques can be incredibly helpful for stress relief and overall well-being. You will be exposed to a range of different breathing techniques that are all designed to achieve different outcomes including optimizing health, managing emotions, reducing stress and anxiety, achieving focus and productivity and activating your creativity.

Breath Repatterning

In the Breath Repatterning we will resolve non-coherent birth -related breathing issues we resonate (that lead to asthma, smoking, shortness of breath or breath holding), so we can enjoy breathing and inhaling for the joy and aliveness of life. We will also repattern some bad breathing habits with the Resonant Breath Repatterning to support balance and well-being, foster resilience and stamina and activate self-healing from any illness we may be suffering with.

Cacao Ceremony

Cacao is known for its heart-opening qualities, helping participants enter a state of emotional openness and spiritual receptivity. When combined with conscious breathing, cacao’s effects are amplified, creating a more profound and transformative ceremony. Breathwork guides the energy of cacao through the body, clearing blockages, centering the mind, and opening the heart even further.

River Play

Dive into the essence of serenity at Waterfall Farm. Immerse yourself in the joy of swimming with an array of special spots to choose from. Whether it’s a revitalizing dip in the river, laps in the lake and pools, or unwinding in the tranquility of our natural rock pools, your aquatic escape awaits.

Gentle Movement

Be guided in practices that balance the chakras and contribute to your overall wellness. You will enter a meditative state, drawing your attention inward and relaxing into stillness and presence. Gentle poses target connective tissue and release tension held in the deep fascia of your body. Chanting, singing, movement and specific breathing patterns activate the sleeping, unaroused energy at the base of your spine.

Deep Rest

The retreat is designed in a way that engaging activities are balanced with restful downtime. The days have been structured in such a way that there will be adequate leisure time, for you to just be, to rest, to relax and to breathe, while enjoying the beautiful nature and surrounding environment at your leisure. At the same time within the design of each activity you will be guided to a place of deeper rest within yourself.
