In this deeply restorative, science-informed, and nature-forward workshop, Alayna Bellquist, marine biologist, author, and Lyme thriver, guides you through the 4-Stage Recovery Process, a holistic framework that supported her full recovery after years of debilitating chronic Lyme disease and coinfections.
Blending her background in marine science and policy with the latest insights in nature-based healing, Alayna offers a practical and empowering roadmap for those navigating Lyme, chronic illness, long-term stress, and persistent nervous-system dysregulation.
Cohosting with Alayna is Johann Urb, an internationally recognized breathwork teacher, founder of the Pyramid Breathwork Method®, and a deeply trusted figure in Alayna's personal healing journey. Johann's work integrates trauma-informed, somatic principles; ancient breathing practices synthesized to meet our current era with his 30-plus years of developing the system; and modern neurophysiology to make it a practical, daily practice that continues the healing process beyond the retreat settings. His method facilitates emotional release, nervous-system recalibration, and a profound return to inner strength and clarity.
Together, Johann and Alayna create a grounded, compassionate, and transformative experience. Across three days, you:
- Learn the 4-Stage Recovery Process and how to apply it to your unique experience
- Understand the underlying biological and emotional patterns that perpetuate chronic illness
- Engage in somatic and breath-based practices that regulate the nervous system and open pathways to physical and emotional healing
- Explore nature-based principles that support resilience and regeneration
- Create a personalized, actionable plan that you can begin using immediately
- Receive guided breathwork sessions designed to release stored tension, expand energy, and support deeper healing
- Connect with yourself and others in a supportive environment anchored in nature and possibility
- Explore the idea that challenges—even extreme ones—are happening for you, not to you, and thus changing your inner narrative from disempowering to empowering
This workshop is for those with persistent conditions who have struggled to feel well despite years of searching for answers. You leave with clarity, a renewed sense of inner power, and conviction supported by a structure that makes healing not just possible, but probable.
