Description

There is a way of breathing
That is a shame and a suffocation.
And there is another kind of breath,
A love breath,
Which opens you infinitely.

—Rumi

Breathing consciously and optimally may be our most powerful medicine for kinesthetic, emotional, and cognitive well-being, as well as our most reliable guide for journeying toward self-realization.

Throughout the ages, cultures, medical and health systems, and spiritual lineages have developed breath practices to enhance the quality of life. Now, in the 21st century, we are aware of enough anecdotal and epidemiological evidence, ancient wisdom, and current research to support a movement to make breath practices accessible to all.

This unprecedented gathering of teachers, scientists, psychiatrists, and social activists offers scientific, philosophical, humanistic, and spiritual foundations for the benefits available from the entire spectrum of breath practices. Anyone is invited, from curious beginners to health professionals interested in incorporating breathwork into their practices.

We learn the simplest of breathing techniques that encourage relaxation, stress-reduction, and vitality; progressively enhanced breathing techniques that promote cortisone regulation, stimulate immune functioning and hormonal regulation, and support neural regulation and integration; and, finally, intensive breathing techniques, like Integrative Breathwork, that invite nonordinary states of awareness to help us penetrate the deepest parts of ourselves and access our greatest gifts.

Immersed in these practices, we come to understand that within each breath dwells the possibility for healing, personal growth, spiritual development, enhanced creativity, increased intelligence and wisdom, improved relational harmony, an attuned access to intuition, and heightened mystical realization, to help us more fully participate in building a healthier world together.
