Breathwave is a powerfully gentle approach to conscious connected breathing, where breathers learn to cultivate a self-regenerating rhythm of breath that liberates psychosomatic resistance to present-moment awareness. Trained Breathwave facilitators are present to support breathers in identifying unconscious barriers in their breath pattern through compassionate affirmation, verbal coaching, and hands-on support (with consent for physical touch).

Our Breathwave Ceremony is a two-hour workshop that offers the festival community an experiential encounter with the magnificence of their own self-healing potential, as well as an unofficial integration container for individuals that may be experiencing dysregulation from isolation, social tension, and/or substance use at this festival. Unlike many mainstream breathwork modalities, Breathwave emphasizes gentleness and parasympathetic presence with the breath, allowing breathers to receive a more peaceful transmission of the regenerative power within.
