Life is the time between two breaths – the first and the last. In between, embodied consciousness presents us with theexperience of being alive….

In between times, each in-breath recapitulates the issues surrounding our incarnation and each exhale if conscious,

prepares us for release from the body and return to the Source. Most of us rarely breathe consciously and hidden in ourunconsciousness of how breath moves through us, lies our karma.

By changing our focus and bringing awareness to how we breathe and how we feel at any particular moment, patterns ofcontraction, fear, incompleteness – the full isolation of our personality from Spirit can gradually be released.

From earliest times breath has been used as a path to self-knowledge, healing, meditative awareness and transcendence.Many different forms of yoga, martial arts and shamanic pathways have been concerned with the vital and profoundinfluence of the breath on human experience.

This 35 day training is designed over 2 years to train participants in the contemporary healing arts of rebirthing, breaththerapy and cellular memory release.

Properly understood and practised, these arts prepare the physical, emotional and mental bodies for transcendentexperience. While these practices prepare us for this possibility, the experience of transcendence as such is always a gift ofgrace.

StructureThe program will be taught in five seven-day modules with approximately 4 months between each module. The work istaught holistically, moving between practise, personal experience and theoretical formulations. Some areas of study willunfold sequentially at deeper levels through each module. Emphasis is on personal growth and professional development.


4/16

In addition to classroom hours, students will be required to undertake supervised practise. An ongoing mentoring programwill be provided throughout the training. There will also be opportunities for senior students to assist at BreathworkRetreats for additional experience in working with groups and observing individual processing.

At the successful completion of three modules, students will be accredited as Student Practitioners, where they can workwith members of the public under supervision.

PracticumThis is the “hands on” portion of the training. Both during and between modules participants will learn to guide othersthrough their breath journeys. Attention will be given to issues concerning practitioner/client interactions.

Over the course of the residential training, the student will participate in at least 20 sessions as “sitter” and 20 sessions as

“breather”.Frequently asked questionsDo I need to have experience in Breathwork before I enrol in the training?

Generally yes, although exceptions are possible, for example someone who has had experience in modalities such as primaltherapy, bioenergetics, bodywork and TRE (Trauma Release Exercises) could receive favourable consideration.

Why don’t you require any entry qualifications ?

What is most important is the quality of the personhood that the applicant brings to the program rather than specific formalqualifications. We actually do screen people for suitability before they enter the program, but the criteria focus on theirperso nal qualities. They have much more to do with a person’s calling to the work, their readiness to go into a profoundhealing process as part of the program, and an assessment of their capacity to be with others in profound healing spaces.


5/16

Why is the work taught in modules?

Currently the program is taught in five seven-day modules in a residential setting. This allows a deep descent into theprocess undisturbed by the normal demands of everyday life. Using specific accelerated learning techniques, the work can

be learnt and experienced at intellectual, experiential and organic levels.

Having taught this work over 3 decades we have found this to be an exceptionally effective way for the work to be learntand understood.

What is the total number of hours involved in the training?

If we include: 1. Face to face learning

2. Reading and Research Reports

3. The external elements of the practicum: sessions conducted under supervision outside of the trainingmodules, the course totals in excess of 500 hours.

Can I develop a practice?

Many participants enter with the intent to use the skills they gain through the program as professionals. In addition to beingcompetent in the work, developing a practice is essentially developing a small business. We introduce many key concepts inthis area as part of the training and participants are encouraged to further learn the full range of skills for the development

of a successful small business.

Is there a demand for this work?

Yes, many graduates have established successful practices; some of them combined with other healing modalities.


6/16

If I don’t plan to develop a practice, can I still do the program?

Some people choose to undertake the Breathwork training for the enormous personal benefits they experience as they gothrough the training program. Additionally the program teaches the skills that are necessary to become a competent

practitioner.

How do I enter the program?

Initially through contact with one of the Assistant Trainers, completing an application form and going through an interviewprocess.

When can I enter the program?

Through arrangement with the Trainers it is possible to enter the training in Modules 1, 2, 3, or 4.

Breath and Consciousness

We will examine how we perceive our worldand our place in it through the prism of thebreath. By being conscious of how we breatheand deliberately altering the pace and depth ofour breath, we change our awareness. We willalso examine the concepts of the unconsciousand the superconscious.

We can allow for cathartic and non-catharticapproaches.
