Retreats & group journeys
Deep work, held together.
Something happens in a room full of people breathing toward the same edge. Retreats and group journeys create a container for collective release that private sessions can't fully replicate — held with the same trauma-informed care as 1:1 work, scaled for a circle.
Formats
Weekend & multi-day retreats
A signature holotropic-style journey woven into a broader retreat itinerary — designed with retreat organizers to fit the weekend's arc, from opening circle to integration.
Single-day group journeys
A concentrated group experience for smaller gatherings — bachelorette-alternative circles, milestone birthdays, friend groups ready to go deeper together.
Recurring group sessions
Lighter-touch, functional group breathwork for ongoing community gatherings, co-working spaces, and studios — see the Community Events calendar for the current schedule.
Why breathe in a group
Collective nervous systems regulate each other
A group breathwork journey does something a solo practice can't: it lets your nervous system borrow safety from the room. Shared breath, shared rhythm, and witnessed vulnerability tend to lower the guard that keeps deeper material out of reach — which is part of why holotropic-style work is traditionally done in circles.
For retreat organizers, that makes breathwork one of the highest-impact single sessions you can add to a weekend — it consistently becomes the moment participants talk about afterward.
What a retreat booking includes
Built around your group, not a template
Before
- A planning call to understand your group, theme, and venue
- A custom-written script for the group's specific journey or theme
- Guidance on space, sound, and timing so the session fits your itinerary
Day-of
- A brief grounding orientation before the journey begins
- Live, guided facilitation for the full group throughout
- Individual attention available for anyone who needs extra support
- A closing integration circle to bring the group back together
6–30 participants
Smaller circles allow more individual attunement; larger groups work well for corporate or campus-adjacent gatherings with a support team present.
Your venue or mine
I travel to retreat venues across Virginia, or can help you scout a space in Williamsburg or Richmond suited to breathwork.
Somatic & integration extras
Optional add-on somatic movement, journaling prompts, or a follow-up integration call for the group.
