Breathwork Training

My Breath is Prayer Facilitator Training will teach you to hold a container for individuals and groups  as a breathwork facilitator. You’ll come away from it knowing how to facilitate breathwork ceremonies for individuals, groups and online. We combine an in-person immersion with an extended online mentorship program to give you the experience and confidence of hands on as well as follow up support as you begin to practice giving sessions.

If you want to become a breathwork facilitator - this training will give you the tools to create a solid container for individuals and groups, live and online, in which you will guide people on a journey within themselves simply by using breath and music.

Most breathwork courses offer only either individual or group facilitation, but you will get to learn both of those plus how to offer it online. By the end, you’ll be experienced in all three arenas. 

The immersion runs from November 7th through November 12th. In the first half, you will learn a flow on how to take a client through an individual session and in the second half you will learn a group flow.

The extended mentorship portion of this training runs over the next 3months biweekly. We will determine the start date during our immersive portion, based on group preference. All calls will be recorded. In these calls, we will cover how to facilitate individuals and groups online. You will also receive mentoring for questions/challenges that have arisen when you start practicing your facilitation. You will also learn from everyone else’s questions and shares. 

On completion of this training and when you have finished the homework, you’ll receive a Breath is Prayer certificate.

This unique and comprehensive Breathwork training runs over 3 1/2 months, with 5 1/2 days immersive in ?, followed by 90 minute meetings twice a month on Zoom over 3 months. Some of you will be ready to facilitate before the end of the 3 months. Some of you may take this on a personal track to deepen your own Breathwork practice and to learn more about yourself.

The immersive will be experiential and intimate so you will get individualized attention. You will be taught and practice taking someone through both a 1:1 session and a group session so that when you leave, you have the confidence to practice both types of sessions on your own.

In the calls, we will process what is coming up for you in your practice/work sessions as this is where the real learning begins. You will additionally all learn by hearing each others’ experiences and my feedback. Plus, you will learn and practice how to facilitate an online session. You will also present a 10-15 minute piece on trauma during the calls that you have researched and want to share with the group. I will speak to trauma during the course but it is good to continue to educate yourselves on this topic as it will come up during breathwork. 

The structure of this course was inspired by 4years of Breathwork training with various teachers that I went through. I was inspired not only by their teachings, but even more so, what I did not receive in those trainings and had to figure out myself over the last 20 years. Additionally, I have graduated from many programs (and seen many others do the same) without actually incorporating what I learned because the learning wasn’t experiential. In both cases, the immersive and the Zoom calls, you will benefit from my 20 years of experiences in what to do and what not to do. I will give you all the shortcuts I wish I had someone give me. Essentially, I will be your mentor, which will include access to me via text or email during our time together.

At the end of this time, once you have fulfilled all the requirements, you would receive certification.

I had to take 3 separate trainings to learn to facilitate:

  • 1:1 session training

  • Group session training

  • Online session training for both individuals and groups.

You get it all in this one training. And there is magic to all of it! Even if you don’t think you want to do more than one of those, you will probably be surprised down the road as was I. I started off doing only 1:1s but then later discovered the joy of facilitating groups and more recently the miracle of doing Breathwork sessions online. They all inspire me in a different way.

One of the gifts you receive in this training, is individual and specific feedback based on what you, the participant needs, not just the overarching principles that I’ve developed or that I’ve learned or that I’m passing on about Breathwork. I meet each person where they are and as a result of the feedback that I give them, they get to step more thoroughly into their own growth. This way, you can live into your empowered, true, unique self and bring that to being a Breathwork Facilitator.

You will receive a manual with the course.

“Gwen's unique approach to breathwork was an extraordinary experience for me! I was able to release so many emotions and had a profound heart opening that has helped to free me from old family patterns and embrace living a life that I love.
