Nevada city, Ca: Amazonian/Tibetan Primordial Breathwork w/ Ceremonial Cacao

Primordial Breathwork™ Workshop
11:00am – 3:00pm

This workshop integrates two ancestral lineages of breath science: the Amazonian practice originating with the Yanomami tribe, and Tibetan Dzogchen Bonpo teachings on the vital winds (lung) and subtle channels. Both lineages recognize breath as the primary regulator of life force, influencing physical health, emotional balance, and states of consciousness.

What the Practice Involves
Primordial Breathwork trains the mind to rest in the heart, supporting the integration of life energies encoded in the cellular memory of the human organism. By combining continuous, intentional breathing with sound, rhythm, and awareness, the practice helps to:

• Regulate the autonomic nervous system (shifting from fight-or-flight into rest-and-digest states)

• Release repressed emotions and psychosomatic tension stored in the body

• Improve circulation, oxygenation, and vagal tone, supporting resilience and stress recovery

• Activate and balance the body’s energy centers through the elemental archetypes of earth, water, fire, air, ether, space, and infinity

• Support trauma resolution by engaging the body’s innate healing reflexes in a safe, contained way

While cathartic experiences can occur, the aim is not dramatic release but a gradual cultivation of receptivity, coherence, and heart-centered awareness. This distinguishes Primordial Breathwork from modern methods such as Rebirthing (Leonard Orr) and Holotropic Breathwork (Stanislav Grof). Its foundation in ancestral Amazonian and Tibetan lineages brings a focus on reciprocity, ecological consciousness, and integration into daily life.

Ceremonial Cacao
The session begins with an optional cacao invocation. Ceremonial cacao is known to increase blood flow to the brain by up to 30–40%, support heart coherence, and enhance emotional receptivity. Taken in moderation, it helps participants access deeper layers of presence during the breathwork.

Preparation

• Do not eat for at least 2 hours before the session.

• Please inform us if you are pregnant or in case of health conditions – taking pharmaceutical medications, have a history of mental illness, a heart condition, or other concerns. These questions will be included in the intake form.

Contribution-Living Reciprocity

Proceeds from this workshop go toward the Non-profit initiatives of Paititi Institute (501c3) and the Yahua Ancestral School initiative in the Peruvian Amazon, supporting children and elders in preserving their culture and wisdom traditions. This initiative, seeded through my book Beyond Ayahuasca (Hay House 2025), will extend to other tribes of the rainforest as part of a larger movement for Indigenous empowerment and cultural continuity.
