Colorado Primordial Breathwork Immersion Retreat

Inside all of us, an original primordial state of peaceful loving kindness is always present, existing on the level of cellular memory. When we look deeply, beyond the veil of matter and mind, this state and the universal truth that accompany it are discovered to be embedded within us all. Given the psychosomatic sources of tension and disease, it is clear that an embodied practice is necessary for the process of transformation in order to re-integrate this state. In this retreat, we will be catalyzing the primordial state of being through Primordial Breathwork, Qigong, Meditation, Creative/Artistic Expression, Music and Immersion in Nature.

Each day of the retreat we will engage in a unique and cathartic breathwork practice which blends Amazonian and Tibetan traditions together. This practice is often a deeply meditative, heart activating and transpersonal experience that revives the cellular memory of the whole organism and brings aspects of the past to the surface to be remembered and healed. Everyday we will go deeper into the breathwork, practicing for longer sets of time and integrating ceremonial cacao with the practice to enhance the body’s energy flow.

After each session integration will involve sharing circles, immersion in nature and creative expression of many forms (painting, dancing and music).

About our Amazonian/Tibetan Primordial Breathwork Practice:

This is a multidimensional experience, encompassing many facets of our being. It is very helpful for the reactivation of our energetic chakra vortexes to their natural, higher vibrational frequencies. The practice also aids in the location and elimination of psychosomatic sources of disease, tensions, inhibitions and repressed emotions. It employs an ancient, cathartic, healing breath, activating and purifying our emotional memory at the cellular level.

This ancient practice is similar in some ways to the more recently developed methods, including the Rebirthing method developed by Leonard Ore, and Holotrophic Breathwork, brought forward by Stanislav Groff. However, this practice is rooted in a more shamanic perspective that is reflected in both Tibetan and Amazonian cultures. The distinct benefit of this specific practice is the tribal synchronization of the breath via awareness, sound, drumbeat and cyclical rhythm, which ultimately reveals the pulse of life force in nature as an infinitely diverse and unified consciousness.

The cosmology and the theoretical background of this practice relates to the hero’s conscious journey towards the original primordial state of blissful divine union, as mirrored in ancient cultures and spiritual traditions from around the world. That original state is recognized to be the source of all creative potential and a fundamentally vital element in evolutionary healing.

During most breathwork our sessions, we initiate the space by offering participants ceremonial cacao. Cacao is a powerful plant medicine that can increase blood supply to the brain, help to facilitate deeper energetic and emotional release, and increase connection to energy flow and heart space. In this way the cacao supports us in deepening the journey with the breathwork. Intake of cacao is optional.
