2024 programme

Move into profound stillness through Power Yoga and Pranayama - ancient yogic breathwork.

Movement then pranayama - this is the way of the ancient, the way of awakening, the way to find strength and peace in a chaotic world.

We move with the breath, and let the breath move us. Start building strength, flexibility and vitality in the movements of yoga (lycra clothing not required). Cultivating a healthy and comfortable body enables the deep journey into the inner world. Next, we flow into the riches of yogic breathwork to clear the energetic field, cultivate a quiet mind and dissolve into powerful inner stillness.

Through this practice, you might experience peaceful joy and profound meditative states. Practices will include Kapalabhati, Nadi Shodhana and Coherence breathing.

During the festival, Tom will introduce you to two radically different ways of applying breathwork to your life…

Breath Elements Made Easy: Understand the Essentials with Tom Granger

Empower yourself the core elements of breathwork right at the start of your journey to get the most out of the transformative days ahead. Tom will help you to demystify the wide world of breathing in this engaging and accessible workshop. He will guide you to discover the important variables you can quickly control to enhance your breathing practice, before putting it into use with a simple experiential session designed to maximise your resilience. Perfect for complete beginners as well as more experienced practitioners looking to think about breathing in a fresh way. See you there!

In Tune – Exploring Empathy with Tom Granger 

We all feel that we know what empathy is… but are we missing the point? This musical session combines the simple yet powerful aspects of breathing, fluid movement, and group visualisation with special music from Aria Breath.

We will use gentle touch and flowing focus. It's a one-stop shop for feeling good and getting grounded, all tied up with a powerful group circle. Come, enjoy, and experience the less tangible benefits of breathwork in a friendly atmosphere. See you there! 

Tom Granger is the multi-award winning breathwork author behind the bestselling book “Draw Breath; The Art of Breathing”, he is also the founder of the popular slow breathing school, “Aria Breath; The Musical Meditation”, and has worked closely with Take A Deep Breath’s Mike Maher on their collaborative breathwork education project “Airheads”.

Most recently, Tom has finished working on the reinvigoration of “Vivation” – the second oldest continuous breathwork school to use circular breathing. Bringing this cornerstone of breathwork up to date with a brand-new teaching syllabus and entirely redesigned teacher training process. In the future, Tom will succeed Paul Hughes as the lineage holder for this historic and powerful modality.

Tom’s wide-reaching impact on the modern breathwork movement has been driven by his belief that learning should always be easy, authentic, and community-driven and strives to make breathwork as engaging as possible using art, music, and embodied learning.

Tom has travelled the world interviewing breathing scientists, athletes, and legendary Breathworkers, to help define and ensure the multiple styles and techniques he uses are safe and evidence-based.

His innovative and irreverent approach to breathing has been praised by breathwork luminaries as diverse as Donna Farhi, James Nestor, and Jon Kabat-Zinn.

The first people to be colonised were those of us living in Europe.

Decolonial healing is about more than race; it’s about reclaiming our connection to the earth, our medicine, our songs, and each other.

In this workshop, I will share the foundations of Decolonial Healing, its personal and global implications, and the work we can do as medicine people in the world of breathwork.

UK Breathwork Association Presentation

Hannah Kendaru, Mark Conrad and Helen Bradley will be presenting the UK Breathwork Association, a UK-wide initiative to support the professional breathwork community.

She uses the breath to remember our connection to the earth, to our lineages and ancestors; for decolonial healing and rewilding our civilised minds, bodies and spirits.

Breath is the missing element in every diet with Gus Hoyt (Talk)

Talk on Functional Breathing and Physiology of Health / Digestion

'Abs are built in the kitchen not the gym' is a line thrown around by PTs and Influencers everywhere, but what if it was even more simple than that? What if we actually held the key within our own body, with something we do over 20,000 times a day?

Based on research for his book, Gus will share his findings and the connections he made between our breath and our digestion. It gets a bit complex, but also blindingly obvious once all the dots are joined together.

Gus will take us through a journey of how we breathe, and how dysfunctional breathing can lead to a plethora of digestion issue - and how we can very easily fix them.

Rebirthing, moving into light

Jacqui Storm will be representing AIR School of breathwork by holding a gentle but profound rebirthing session.

Working with natural circular breathing in a relaxed and conscious manner takes you on a journey of self discovery. Your breath will lead and guide you into the hidden parts of your unconscious. The natural circular breath is safe and available for most of us. You will be guided into openness and awareness, inducing a state of depth, bliss and clarity.

TRUTH LOVE AND SIMPLICITY

I love being a Breathworker in all forms and opportunities that come my way, 1 2 1 sessions, groups, workshops, online and at festivals, now teaching and co-directing AIR School of Breathwork..

It's a privilege to be working with the breath as it empowers and enables anyone to get in touch with deeper aspects of themselves, their true nature and their connections to other people. A very important part of this work is that it helps us to connect to the natural world around us, encouraging us to be mindful and sensitive to our environment..

I am trained as a chiropractor and now call myself a holistic back specialist. I'm an accredited Su Jok Acupuncturerist, I have a diploma in natural nutrition and I'm a yoga teacher and yoga therapist. In my work I combine all schools, including Breathwork. I use my long experience of treating people for various ailments and stresses in my breathwork and as a teacher.

I have also recently produced the ‘Ancient Futures’ area at Boomtown Festival, as I have a passion for sharing the spiritual world with a younger audience.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to share the power of Breathwork with children; for children to be able to regulate themselves as they navigate the many challenges that they face!

TOGETHER WE CAN ...

Join Helen Bradley- Breathwork Practitioner and Primary Teacher, and Samanta Echo -Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist and Conscious Parenting Guide, for an interactive and engaging session where we will share with you the proven tools for Resilience used on the Pathways to Resilience Programme. Play games, breathe, move, massage, tap and share as if you were a child, parent or member of staff taking part in the programme.

You will also hear about the work we do in schools, the incredible feedback we have received and our vision of how we want to roll the programme out nationwide.

“I believe this is possibly the most important thing children / teens / adults might learn for their life. Please make it available to everyone! In my children and as an adult (myself and friends) anxiety and dysregulation has encountered us in various times, knowing how to deal with it is life-saving and life-confirming.” Parent, East Hampshire, November 2023

Anyone interested in sharing Breathwork and tools for Resilience with children, whether in schools or with children in your family, will find this session insightful and inspiring. We hope to see you there.

TOGETHER WE CAN empower children from all walks of life.

In 2019 I met Nicola Price of Inspirational Breathing; she placed her hands on my body and showed me how to breathe. Taking that first full diaphragmatic breath was one of the most transformational and liberating experiences I have ever had. Shortly after, I completed Nicola’s foundation course and that changed me forever. Having been a primary teacher for 18 years that week shone a light on a new path; I had found a new purpose and passion, and went on to complete the Graduate programme becoming a certified Breathwork Practitioner in 2021. Since then I have taken a deep dive into all things breath; avidly reading and researching as well as completing training with BreathWork Africa, becoming a practitioner in Reiki and Therapeutic Face Massage, and a Mental Health First Aider.

I work with clients 1:1 and in groups and love sharing this wonderful work, guiding them through Functional breathing and Conscious Connected Breathwork techniques. As a teacher and a parent it struck me that it would be hugely beneficial if children were taught this effective and accessible tool to help them regulate and, in turn, become more resilient.

In 2022, I met Samanta Echo, a Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist and Conscious Parenting Guide. With our shared passion for building resilience in children we created a CIC ‘Pathways to Resilience’. We now deliver programmes rooted in Breathwork to children aged 8 - 16 as well as workshops to parents and training days to school staff. We have secured government funding allowing us to reach more children in our area of Hampshire.

Our aim is to deliver training to facilitators and volunteers with a vision to roll out the programme nationwide. What better way to spread the word than at a festival full of Breathworkers!

Your gift to their future: Together we can create the best possible future for all of life.

This workshop is a profound exploration into what it is to be a Good Ancestor and what the Best Possible future could look like for us all.

Using expressive movement we will travel to the future to meet our descendants, who will share with us the gifts that they have inherited from us. We will celebrate what we did and who we are that made their best possible future possible.

Those gifts will then be brought back to the present and through the living ceremony that is our breath, we will breathe into the truth of all that you learned from the dance.

We will be using a gentle, conscious connected breath from the rebirthing tradition.

This workshop is based on the Deep Time work of Joanna Macy and Susannah Darling Kahn of Movement medicine, this workshop reminds us that what we do today impacts those that come after us. It reminds us that if we turn towards the breath, a life-sustaining society will last for generations to come. It encourages us to think beyond immediate concerns and consider the long-term consequences of our actions.

This workshop is one of remembering that our innate essence is a gift to the future.

I’m Jax, a Counsellor, Guide, Breathwork and Chakra dancing facilitator, Creator of everyday magical ceremony and mother. My work moves people from stuck patterns, fear and anxiety to serenity and peace by guiding them back to themselves.

My most profound realisation in the last few years has been the living ceremony that is always happening within our bodies, our breath.

I facilitate a conscious, connected breath from the rebirthing tradition.

Your breath is a loving gateway to you gently experiencing all that you are, enabling you to heal and integrate trauma, so that you can remember your magnificence.

Having worked for many years as a Counsellor I continue to be amazed at the speed of transformation in my clients when they combine the power of the breath with traditional counselling.

If you are ready - to change, move through stuck patterns, heal and integrate trauma or just to create more peace and serenity. Then I’m looking forward to walking alongside you.

I offer 121s and groups both online and in person.

Breath is life, the thread between body and consciousness and it is our human life force. It happens for us automatically whether we are conscious of it or not. It is the most accessible wellness tool for every-body. In choosing to be conscious of our breath and how we are breathing we open a gateway to new possibilities of health, vitality and the power to have greater navigational control in our lives.

Regular practice will lead you to a deeper relationship with yourself and the natural life force within and all around us. Knowing when to apply which breath in specific situations will bring you confidence, resilience and calm in your everyday, giving you a new level of self-regulation and control.

Come and open yourself to the power of the breath and its ability to bring you pleasure and creativity. You will access the wisdom of your body in its entirety and find the ON switch for your juicy flow state at will.

Using your breath intentionally with powerful visualisation and somatic movement has the capacity to activate sensations of BLISS throughout your entire system. These sensations range from seismic and orgasmic to subtle and sublime.

Whilst you use the breath to regulate your nervous system, you create a state of deep self-connection and have the opportunity to focus on the transformative Eros energy which has often been suppressed, shamed, hidden or lost.

Eros energy is your basic life-force which arises from the pelvis and core of your body. This energy can be erotic but in essence it is a long forgotten power that gives you vitality.

Natasha will weave a fire breath with conscious connected breathing and visualisations to connect you to your fullest expression of the breath and your sacred divinity taking you on a journey through your glorious pleasure body.

What is beyond personal transformation ?
What was the new age movement preparing us for ?
What is ego-less unity ?
If consciousness evolves, what evolves it, what is now available, and how do we live it ?
----------------------------------------------
For the last two years I have been involved in the Evolutionary Collective, a group led by spiritual teacher Patricia Albere, focusing on group practice to experience unity consciousness beyond the personal – which has been termed ‘mutual awakening’.
Initially referenced Sri Aurobindu some decades ago, experienced by many of us momentarily in close relationships, it is new to attempt to ground via a non-personal intimacy in a group joining that is beyond personal transformation work.
The leading edge of science is recognising the reality of our shared consciousness, which is entirely consistent with quantum theory, but at odds with the prevailing materialist ‘the mind comes from the brain’ belief.
Scientist Carl Calleman, in his books including ‘The Global Mind’ and ‘The Nine Waves of Creation’ has given us a powerful and well-evidenced model of how our civilisation evolves and transforms, not through random changes or by our efforts, but by an evolutionary impulse ‘made of consciousness’ which results in the physical, mental and spiritual landscapes we know.
He traces this history of numerous simultaneous advances of human development in unconnected locations and shows how these are part of a pattern that now allows for a further leap. Unitive consciousness is part of this next leap.
In this evening session we will look at these ideas, consider the questions posed, explore the possibilities they open, and practice accessing the space of shared consciousness that has also been called the ‘origination point’.
This work has been a powerful change force for me, and the opening continues, so I hope to bring you a flavour of it. We can also touch on the relationship to Breathwork, which I believe it can both complement and extend.
The importance of this work seems underlined by an interesting questions that has been posed:
“Even if we got to the place where everyone had completed their journey to personal enlightenment, would that actually lead to a world that worked ? “

My journey of exploring mind and beyond-mind seemed to begin formally with studies of NLP and hypnotherapy around 1999.
A few years later a powerful synchronicity caused me to jump from finance and IT work to natural health, and in particular to the world of bioenergetic testing, where the body signals information that is not accessible by verbal enquiry.
In 2005, a Stan Grof book led me to experience the amazing effect of deep and rapid connected breath, and then to book a series of Rebirthing sessions. The following year another remarkable ‘coincidence’ led to being at the IBF Global Inspiration (GIC) event in Canada, which was an introduction to the power and variety of Breathwork practices and to a wonderful community and many great friends.
The somatic and emotional release benefits conscious connected breathwork were huge and surprising for me over many years. I became part of the IBF Executive team between 2008 and 2017, was involved in organising the UK GIC and led the India GIC in 2013, which was a profound experience.
Along the way I have studied many threads of spirituality, having been particularly affected by the work of Gurdjieff and the meditation practices transmitted by Yogananda and his inspiring work Autobiography of a Yogi. In recent years I have been a student of the Course In Miracles and continue in an intense small teaching group that works to embody those principles.
I have been part of the Breathe team since 2019, while my day-job continues running a natural health company in Hampshire, including a holistic education programme for practitioners that can be found via vitalhealth.info
Participation in the work of the Evolutionary Collective has added another dimension and helped to integrate these diverse threads that have been my fascination for 20 years.

Research shows that people feel more trusting, empathic and closer following a deep gaze. “We think silence between people means nothing is happening, when something profound is happening: PRESENCE”

The mother / newborn gaze can be an example of the divine love energy that began with our first gaze. Eye gazing is a reflection of this divine energy.

Gazing into the eyes of another, without words for 60 minutes can be a profoundly powerful way to connect and understand yourself, transporting yourself into a deeper state of consciousness.

Come and experience this wordless communication…

Cate is an Accredited counsellor/psychotherapist with the BACP, equine facilitated psychotherapist and a clinical supervisor. One of Cate's interests in rebirthing breathwork is how it relates to body/muscle trauma memory and the role of the breath in safely facilitating release.

This Hi, I’m Anja!

I’m on a mission to help others break negative cycles and release trauma, so they can finally live life to the fullest. I consider myself an alchemist, using every tool I’ve mastered—from tantra to yoga, NLP, and coaching—to transform pain, insecurity, and disconnection into joy, confidence, and empowerment.

Throughout my life, I carried trauma in my body and soul, experienced addiction, and was afraid of connection. I felt so much pain and fear that I hid behind invisible walls, leading to depression, disconnection, and sexual anorexia. I couldn't find joy, experience pleasure, or feel empowered and confident. I went through life numb, lost, and walking around in a constant fog.

I tried trauma therapy, recovery programs, and even became a yoga teacher, but nothing seemed to fully help me find clarity and feel alive. Then, in 2015, on a sunny day in London, I attended a Tantra festival. Suddenly, the fog began to lift. I could see my own walls clearly and feel the pain leaving my mind, body, and soul. I had found the alchemist of my own life transformation.

It was a long, hard journey: I cried, fell, got up again, and kept facing my demons. Eventually, I broke free from negative patterns and found contentment, balance, and pleasure. Following my own experience, I made it my life goal to help others on their transformative journey.

Using my expertise, I aim to shortcut this process for you, showing how tantra, combined with coaching, NLP, and other transformational tools, can help you heal and find a renewed sense of freedom in every aspect of your life. Let’s embrace a life where every day feels like a new opportunity for fulfillment.

Chakra Yoga

This morning class begins with pranayama breathing techniques to open our connection to specific chakras. We then explore healing movement to reawaken our energy centres. Through the class, we also explore the use of affirmations in order to bring about healing, as well as revitalising static postures.

The session offers opportunities to balance our chakras, enabling our true level of energy to flow, as well as heal chakra wounds such as guilt, fear and inactivity. Each class begins with grounding and flow practices for the first and second chakras, and over the course of the four mornings we will also explore one or two other chakras in sequence, i.e. first, second, third; first, second, fourth; first, second, fifth; first, second, sixth & seventh.

Together we can find our ground, tune into our flow, feel our power amid the presence of others and shine collectively.

Write, Breathe, Feel

This workshop offers a combination of breathing practices, curated journaling prompts and guided visualisations, providing the ideal experience for healing and integration. These beautiful modalities enable participants to melt tension, release negative patterns, heal emotional wounds, and receive insight.

The session starts with a gentle breathing practice to generate calm and focus. This enables participants to shed ‘mental armour’ and move into a creative state. At this point, participants are guided through a series of journal prompts designed to reorder scattered thinking. Each prompt is curated to bring about clarity and healing around a certain situation and provide a powerful experience of being centred around love and truth. Finally, participants can enjoy a guided visualisation to integrate their experiences, followed by a final round of journaling.

Together we can find the freedom to live and express ourselves according to our authentic nature.

Please note that participants will be required to bring a notebook and pen for this session.

I currently work as a trauma-informed breathwork facilitator, chakra yoga teacher, life coach and NLP practitioner, running Write, Breathe, Feel workshops both in person and online, as well as working one-to-one with creative souls, writers and practitioners who want to live a free, expressive life that’s aligned with their true self.

I’ve completed the Integrative Breath facilitator training and have over 200 hours experience with Rise and Shine Yoga, including Yin Yoga, Chakra Yin, and Goddess flow. I’m an accredited Life Coach and NLP practitioner and after earning a Distinction in Creative Writing Master’s spent six years as the Assistant Director of the notable John Osbourne writing retreat in Shropshire.

I won the Royal Society of Literature V S Pritchett award in 2007, an honourable mention in the Asham Award in 2011 and second place in the Plaza Memoir prize for my unpublished memoir Twelve Reasons to be Yourself in 2023. My work has been published in Virago’s ghostly collection Something Was There, and I’ve also written for London Magazine, Fish Anthology, Mechanics Institute Review, and various online journals.

I have lectured on numerous subjects, including public speaking, creativity, voice, and overcoming the inner critic, for Creative Writing programs at UEA, Oxford, Birkbeck and City University, among others.

I write a regular blog on Substack called Wild Muse that explores how we can deepen our relationship with nature to receive wisdom and guidance, and the ways in which the natural world can offer healing.

For the Breathe Festival this year, Steph Magenta will take you on a shamanic ceremonial breathwork experience, using her own music produced by Medicine Musician and Sound Engineer, Charlie Roscoe.

When we think of ourselves in terms of the 'hive mind', taking our example from the ways that bees, ants and many other species work, we are stronger!

Working with the theme this year ‘Together We Can’ - Steph will first explore our connection to our inner landscapes (interoception), then shifting towards our connection to the greater community (exteroception) as a fundamental aspect of our healing work. Healing is not meant to be done in isolation, though integration can be.

We will start this workshop by using some gentle movement (all bodies and abilities welcome) and sound, used in order to open up the pathways to authentic expression. We will take this opening into our practice to explore our greater potential for integral ways of living and being.

Note: Prepare for an immersive experience. We will be using drums and rattles alongside the music in this session as a way to shift and move energy with intention.

Steph Magenta is a breathwork facilitator and teacher, shamanic practitioner and advanced Oxygen Advantage Facilitator. She is the founder of Seven Directions® Breathwork Training Program, certified by the GPBA (Global Professional Breathwork Alliance). She is a Shift Network Summit Host and Faculty member.

Steph places great importance on the integration aspect of any somatic practices which have the potential to elicit significant change or breakthrough for the person experiencing the work. Her background in substance misuse and addiction research led her to over three decades of work in health and wellbeing, from running her own juice bars and plant based cafes to establishing healing centres and the creation of own breathwork training programs. She is passionate about healing through a ‘bottom-up’ embodied somatic route, which informs her grounded, heart centred and trauma aware approach to the practice of breathwork.

She is a double award nominated advocate of sexual freedom and agency, and has trained in Dr Betty Martin's Wheel of Consent.)

On a personal level, Steph has worked extensively with plant medicines, embodiment therapies and talk therapies to change her life, and having transformed her own suffering into her superpowers, she is now happy to take her place as a wise elder in her communities.

She is an advocate of cold exposure & heat therapy, clean eating/detox protocols, sleep hygiene, core strength training, breath awareness, TRE (tension and trauma release practice) and nervous system regulation as multiple routes to sustaining ongoing health and wellness.

Birth to Rebirth (Friday)

This session will explore the idea that the lens through which we see the world today, has been influenced by our time in the womb and our birth.

Explore the journey of birth in a safe and nurturing space through the transformational power of conscious connected breathing.

There is something we all have in common – we have all been born into this world, and what a miracle that is! Just as a seed contains the blueprint for the life of a plant, the creation story of a human has a profound influence on our life. There is a biological matrix of emotional, physical and energetic imprints and patterns that can often be traced back to your emergence into this world and even before this moment.

Some patterns we are healing are often intergenerational, stretching back to before we were born.

But most of us have not considered our birth much, even though it was probably the most significant moment in our life so far!

Understanding your birth can reveal a whole lot about us as well as providing a great framework for releasing old patterns, healing and personal growth.

In this workshop we will share what we know of our own birth stories; gain insights into common birth experiences that determine how we see ourselves and others; see how past unconscious impressions are still affecting every area of our lives……. as we bring ourselves into the rebirthing energy field through the breath, finishing with a short breathwork journey.

Warm Water Rebirthing (Saturday)

A shorter class, based on the above but with a warm water breathwork taster experience.

Kerry has been connected with Rebirthing and conscious connected breathing since 1993, with a focus now on embodiment practices such as Internal Family Systems and Eugene Gendlin's Focusing. Kerry has a trauma informed approach, and is a trainer with two breathwork schools , AIR School of Breathwork and Alchemy of Breath. She loves sharing the healing power of the breath with others, by holding warm water rebirthing retreats, weekly groups and 1:1 sessions.

Kerry also co-founded and is the festival director of the UK's first Breathwork Festival which is an annual event celebrating all kinds of breathwork and is a practitioner member of the Global Professional Breathwork Alliance, GPBA. Kerry’s very grounded nature holds a very safe space for breather(s), holding them in their highest potential and being committed to the unfolding of each person’s own journey which of course is guided perfectly by our breath.

Find your Parts through Breath

Together we bring Regulation.

“We come into the world wired for connection.” Deb Dana

Our biological need for connection is always there with us, with each breath we take. Our nervous system is also always looking and longing for safety. Safety is not something we can mindset out way into. Safety is something we co-create internally, in our environment and with others. Safety is a body knowing of ok-ness.

In this workshop, I invite you to come on an exploration into how we can co-create safety together and also within ourselves. We will explore with curiosity and gentleness somatic practices to guide you to feel more at home in your body, environment and with others, as they are always interconnected.

Through our understanding of our nervous system and physiology, we can hear the call of Safety and Connection.

In the time together we will explore with compassion and somatically:

- What are your autonomic responses

- What safety and danger feel like in your body

- Exploring pleasant sensations of safety

- How to use self-touch to create internal safety

- Expand your capacity for goodness and safety

- How to follow your impulses for choosing what’s needed in moment to moment exploration.

- Building trust in your body.

In this workshop, my intention for us is to find out what safety feels in our body and how we can move from patterns of protections into expansion of connection.

Embodied safety through the Nervous system and Trauma Repair

Empowering women to transform the impact of trauma into strength and resilience, Teodora Pile is a somatic trauma coach and mind-body specialist dedicated to guiding individuals towards a path of healing and self-discovery. Through an unique approach of integrating trauma resolution tools, nervous system regulation, and embodied consciousness, she supports clients unlocking from the negative patterns of anxiety, pain, and fatigue, and fostering a sense of authenticity and connection to self.

‘‘I have seen and learned from their own experience that the experiences of the past do not remain in the past (until we see them and integrate them in a healthy way) and that it is possible to remain connected to our body when the emotions become too overwhelming.

I believe this is possible for you too: to create a safer relationship with yourself, and to learn to process and integrate emotions. Because, the more you express what you really want, the more you become aligned to your values and your authentic Self that is there, underneath the layers of stress and trauma, waiting to emerge.

I want to be here and for you to facilitate your journey back to your authenticity. ‘‘

SOMA Breath Awakening Experience – “Letting Go”

In this 90 minute workshop - a combination of talk, movement and breathwork - we’ll explore some of the ways in which we hold on to stories and experiences, how we create unnecessary suffering in our lives through the stories we tell, and ultimately how we can find freedom through letting go.

Through movement, connected breath sequences and powerful breath holds - coupled with uplifting music - this peak experience breath workshop will take you on journey into the breath and into the body, surrendering to the experience and joy of everything that’s arising within us; and maybe, when you’re ready, to experience and embody the art of letting go.

As a SOMA Breath Advanced instructor I’ve been guiding breathwork workshops for several years, but it was over 20 years ago that I first discovered breathwork. I’ve met several breathworkers with backgrounds in freediving, but my introduction was at the opposite extreme – in freefall. As a young skydiver I was terrified on every ride up to altitude, and it was in the breath where I found my sense of calm and grounding (excuse the pun).

It wasn’t until 15 years later however that I discovered the power of the breath and the many benefits conscious breathwork can deliver. I immersed myself in the modality of SOMA breath as it combined so many things that I love – magical breathwork experiences coupled with incredible music and the bliss and healing of breath holds.

I love sharing this practice and witnessing people experience these powerful journey’s into the breath. The Breathe Festival was actually instrumental in my journey to become a facilitator – this will be my 4th year, and it was my first Breathe Festival that inspired and motivated me to finally complete my breathwork training!

Silent Resonance is a system where we use breath, music and human connection to release stuck, heavy energies from the body to create freedom and liberation within.

During the breathwork you will receive energetic healing and body work to allow the body to shift and move so that you may find harmony within.

Immerse yourself in the power of breath and explore the depths of your being. Throughout this experience, you will tap into your inner wisdom and release any stagnant energy. This transformative practice will help you find clarity, release stress, and unlock your true potential.

During this immersive experience, you will be guided by Pom Tutt who will create a safe and supportive space for your journey. The atmosphere will be serene and peaceful, allowing you to fully surrender and embrace the healing power of breath.

Whether you are new to breathwork or have previous experience, this event is open to all. No prior knowledge or skills are required. Just come with an open mind, an open heart and a willingness to connect and explore.

Join me on this deep journey within working with the power of our Breath to access altered states of consciousness and dive deep into your breath and discover the silent resonance within you.

You may experience healing and integration of your physical and emotional bodies, creating space within the nervous system to remember who we truly are as whole beings.

As we breathe in a connected way, we come into our own rhythm, we access our bodies own innate healing power. Our body remembers what our mind forgets. Our body holds on to past memories, emotions and trauma. When we breathe deep and connected we give ourselves permission to release these suppressed energies from our body, we are able to let go and dissolve all that is no longer ours to hold any more.

And when we do so, we create spaciousness and freedom from within.

This is a personal healing journey.

In the wake of personal tragedy following the sudden loss of my father, I embarked on a transformative journey that would not only redefine my own path but also ignite a passion to facilitate healing in others. The profound impact of that loss, marked by an initial inability to feel, propelled me deeper into the realms of breathwork and somatics as therapy. It became a journey back to feeling, a journey to reclaim the connection with my body and, ultimately, with my true self.

With a career that spans over two decades, my holistic approach to love, life, health and business has gained me a reputation as the go to coach for souls and seekers to dissolve the inner blocks that keep them stuck in stress, anxiety and depression to ease, presence and authentic self expression.

As a sought-after breathwork therapist and somatic coach, I have dedicated this phase of my life and career to helping individuals navigate their own paths to healing. My approach is deeply rooted in the belief that within every person lies an innate ability to self-regulate their nervous system and heal from the traumas that tether them to the past. Through my work, I aim to unlock this potential, guiding clients to release unexpressed emotions and energies that hold them back and embrace the fullness of life.

My methods are grounded in a holistic understanding of the human experience, blending ancient practices with modern psychological and scientific insights. By fostering a safe and nurturing environment, I facilitate deep, transformative experiences that enable individuals to access and process underlying emotions, ultimately leading them toward profound personal growth and liberation from trauma.

The journey that began in the aftermath of my father's death has evolved into a life's mission: to empower others to find their way back to themselves, just as I did. Through breathwork and somatic practices, I witness the remarkable resilience of the human spirit and the capacity for renewal. It is an honour to accompany my clients on their journeys, offering tools and support as they uncover the strength and wisdom that lie within.

In this sacred space of healing and discovery, we journey together towards greater self-awareness, peace, and fulfilment. My commitment is to continue exploring the depths of human potential, always learning, growing, and expanding the ways in which I can contribute to the healing of others. This is not just my profession; it is my calling, my heart's work, and the legacy I aspire to build in memory of my father.

I would like to offer morning Qigong sessions to start the day at the festival outside in the fresh air. Offering a space for us to come together to be barefoot on the earth, held in the support, wisdom and beauty of the tree circle.

Qi Gong is a form of breath-work, designed to balance our nervous systems. Qi can be translated as the breath and Gong means to work. The foundation of Qi Gong breathing is shun hu xi or “natural respiration” which translates as “free flowing, going with natures current.” In this morning practice we will slow down together, and come in to alignment with our-selves and our-cells, our bodies and our breath. From this place of ease and openness we can step into a deeper connection with the world around us, with the soil beneath our feet, the breeze on our skin, the sounds of bird song. Where we can begin to recognise, to feel, to smell our essential nature of inter-beingness intimately connected to all of life.

I will guide mostly in silence allowing the brain to relax and the body to just follow. When our left brain is switched off there is more space for the unknown to be present allowing us to make a shift out of our ordinary awareness into a deeper place of connection and presence. Connecting to the Tao, the universe, the source, to the NOW moment and everything within it.

Abundant, universal, healing qi.

It is yours.

I have been practicing Qigong for over 17 years, it has been a huge part of my journey of self discovery, gently guiding me in the power of the breath, movement and presence.

My practice has lead me to explore energy healing for both myself and for others through bodywork and now breathwork. Qigong is my foundation practice a place I always come back to a gift I would like to share with others.

My teaching is greatly inspired by the earth energies that surround us, our connection to heaven and earth and all the elements of life..

Parts Work Workshop- Knowing And Loving Our Parts

This two hour session will combine a practical workshop and breathwork journey to get to know and understand our different parts. Growing up we all took on messages on who we needed to be in this world to win and maintain love, acceptance and approval.

We learnt to hide certain parts of ourselves in the shadows and learnt to push forward other parts of ourselves that kept us safe.

When we feel stuck or frustrated in life, playing out old patterns, it might seem a natural response to want to get rid of or push away those parts that seem to hold us back.

In this workshop we’ll instead lean toward, acknowledge and find appreciation for these protective parts. Expect a practical and dynamic session with plenty of interaction and space for curiosity and exploration.

Men’s Circle- A Gathering Of Men

This circle will offer an opportunity to come and connect with other men in a safe and supportive environment. We’ll offer space to pause, reflect and lean into connection with self and others using the map of the male archetypes- king, warrior, magician and lover. In exploring this map we’ll have a chance to examine our relationship to- being, doing, thinking and feeling.

From breath to death: who walks with us, and why?

Nic and Denise are training together with Inspire Breathwork and today they will be entering into an exploration of modern medicine and the wellness industry.

This will weave together the exploration of subjects such as reciprocity, professionalism, safety and power dynamics.

And together (including you) we offer a space for a conversation as to what a future tapestry may look like for all of us.

NB: There is a content warning for this session due to the nature of the conversation and their experiences. This includes the following: failings in care, ablism, misogyny, racism, trauma, death (including children), moral injury, queer and transphobia

Nicola Stoke Bio:

Nic has taken a meandering route to her curiosity which is how do we give people the tools to be well when society is sick. This route has taken her via working in anaesthetics and intensive care in the NHS, refugee camps, as well as studying Tibetan Medicine. She is currently apprenticing the breath and grief, and keen to integrate these learnings into what it means to bring collective healing. You will usually find Nic on a bike, in a sauna or deep in a body of water.

Denise Gomez Bio:

Denise is blessed to work with her hands, her head and her heart. Her career as an anaesthetic doctor is focussed in children’s critical care and trauma. She has studied modern medicine, homeopathy, and ethics with law.

Her teaching includes future generations, moral theory for inter-professional masters and supporting medical schools in difficulty.

Denise nourishes herself by playing in the ocean, talking to dogs and pondering the circles of life and death.

Lucy will be leading a breathwork and Kundalini Global yoga workshop with breath and posture to quiet the mind, open our hearts, expand our energetic field, and accept ourselves completely as we are.

Working with the science of these divine ancient practices, Lucy will take you on a breath led journey to find your own presence, creating a profound sense of balance within the self. Some breaths will be energetic, some incredibly soft and gentle. Both will allow us to experience complete stillness.

This practice will help you discover that you can change how you feel. Our feelings are not in our head, but in our bodies. We have autonomy, movement and breath can change our physical and emotional state, our hormonal flow, and ultimately how we feel and experience ourselves.

Through a dynamic practice of breath and posture, we’ll activate the energic body, finding deep presence, peace, and blissful states. Working with the powerful quantum field, we can realise our own power. We all have our story and emotional responses to life – the invitation is to allow Lucy to show you how, with breath, posture and intention, you have power in your own transformation.

This session will end with a Quartz Crystal bowl sound bath to bring us into a deeper state of relaxation.

Lucy lives and works in Bristol, teaching weekly breathwork and yoga classes, and regular workshops at the Mount Without, a 900 year old repurposed church.

Trained in Kundalini Global and Hatha yoga, and Altered States of Breath, Lucy works with a breath led practice to quiet the mind, activate the energic body, find deep presence, and blissful states.

She loves creating sacred space and building community where we can experience the transformative process of change together. She is fascinated by the altered states we can take ourselves to, where we can have autonomy over our own body and mind.

After years in and out of sobriety, her journey really began after completing Carolyn Cowan’s Mastering The Addictive Personality in 2018. This transformative experience gave her the courage to put down her vices and really face what she was experiencing. Lucy embraced the challenge not to numb or avoid, but to stay conscious of everything she was feeling, and to choose change using only intention, body and breath.

Lucy runs regular workshops working with the anxious and addictive mind. She believes by stilling the mind, we are less likely to act out or become triggered. Anxiety, fear and anger are states of contraction within the body, as this is where our feelings are.

Lucy’s classes focus on moving these feelings out of the body, stilling the mind and reclaiming our power. This is where the transformation lies.

This session will be a Gods centred breathe, using the many forms of worship music, Gods and faith, old and new. Opening the mind and heart focusing on using the power of your own faith or lack of it, to go within to feel the presence of something greater, feel connection and allow the flow of healing energy. To connect to source power, cultivating a divine connection with Mother Earth and the universe, in which messages and intuition will be able to flow in and through us, clearing the path inside for inner freedom...

I found conscious-connected breathing through a friend, and had a profound experience with it, as I was carrying lots of guilt, shame and unhappiness after getting clean and sober, from a 25yr addiction of class a drugs and alcohol, which led to my life spiralling out of control.

I was plagued by darkness within my mind and couldn't seem to shift it. I felt as though I didn't fit into the world.

Breathwork was the gateway to a new dawn within myself, it allowed me to access deep hidden parts and rid myself of my past, allowing me to see the world with new eyes for the first time and experience true freedom and finally open the doors and leave the prison of my mind. This continued to happen every time I would breathe, more would be revealed and be healed from within.

I made a decision to train in this healing modality and take it to the most needed in society, drug addicts and prisoners. I currently hold classes in many treatment centres, have started the process of entering prisons and facilitating classes for staff, and get to help many people who are stuck in life realise their potential through the power of their own breath.

Sacred Union: Golden Threads of Love

Join us for this heart-opening and empowering ceremony aimed at healing and unifying deep-rooted divisions and traumas between the masculine and feminine.  You are invited to move through and beyond personal, ancestral, and collective traumas, connecting from a place of pure love and deep longing.

This ritual takes you on a  journey beyond words and stories, into a sacred space where the feminine and masculine can truly see and honour each other. A ritual not for the light hearted but with a purpose bigger than ourselves. An opportunity for witnessing and being witnessed, for shedding of grief, anger and pain and being acknowledged for that, for the whispers of words you might have longed for for a long time…  

As we engage in this transformative ceremony, we will be opened to each others sacred essence, establishing healing for ourselves and the collective.

Weaving the golden threads of love into the fabric of our lives, and paving the way for a more connected and harmonious existence - that’s what we long for and together we can. 

(For all humans 18+) 

Womb Wisdom in Sacred Sisterhood

Be welcome in this sacred space with sisters, a space for nurturing and healing for the divine feminine. Immerse yourself in a circle of sisterhood where we reconnect with the profound wisdom and power of our wombs, our sources of creation and life. 

We will sink into our bodies, and be invited to connect with our wombs through meditation, breath and a beautiful and powerful ritual, as we journey together in reclaiming our birthright of innate power of creation. Come and be part of this time in sacred sisterhood where we will celebrate our wombs and the each other. 

Leonie Alleman has been holding space and sharing her gifts for over 20 years, following her sacred mission of restoring connection in and between humans through ceremony and personal empowerment. She is the founder of Stroud Sisterhood, director of the Goddess Temple Stroud, and she organizes workshops and retreats close to home and at ancient sacred sites worldwide.

‘I support people who are ready to shed layers of coping strategies and conditioning to feel closer to their true selves, so they can lead more fulfilling lives in harmony with all. My work includes leading transformative experiences and rituals. Some examples are light work and kundalini activation, womb healing ceremonies, and ‘sacred union’ and empowering ceremony  to heal and unify deep-rooted divisions and traumas between the masculine and feminine.

My journey into holistic therapy and ancient wisdom began after years of feeling misunderstood and struggling with self-esteem. Since moving from the Netherlands to the UK in 2016, I have continued to inspire and connect with people, helping them embrace their inner power and potential.

Through my work,  I go beyond the comfortable as that is where the healing lies, believing in the magic that happens when we come together to honour our sacred essence. The power of ritual in our lives is profound, creating moments of healing, deep heart-to-heart connection and nurturing our souls. Join me on this journey to reclaim our potential and create a life filled with love, harmony, and connection, because we are changing the world, and together we can!’
