Great! You are interested in exploring the power of breathwork in the psychedelic field.

We invite you to this experiential, online taster session, by donation as an introducer to the Psychedelic Breathwork Day that we are also offering on 28 February 2026.

You are welcome to come into this space, even if you have no intention of attending the Breathwork day, to explore the edges of where breathwork can lead us. Our own experience tells us that breathwork can be just as powerful, if not more so, as psychedelic medicine.

Liz and Mark work with people on a journey of self-awareness who are working in, or interested in, the psychedelic field. This emerging field is full of excitement, hope and unique challenges and as participants we will need to explore and develop a new set of skills, a greater depth of awareness and ongoing reflective spaces to support our processes and minimise harm to self and others.

We are Psychedelic-Assisted Therapists and Breathwork Facilitators. We are well journeyed in Holotropic States of Consciousness (HSC) and are acutely aware of the benefits of first-hand experience.

 

Holotropic States of Consciousness, as described by Stanislav Grof, are states that bring about transformation, evolution and healing and have a heuristic aspect to them. For 1000’s of years humankind has entered HSC in different ways, across many cultures around the globe, to further learning, healing and creativity. This brought benefits to both individuals and their communities. Many people report that journeying in HSC, using a variety of methods, including substances and Breathwork, has been instrumental in helping them to connect with who and what they truly are and to step into their reason for being (Grof 1998).

We have witnessed from our own journey’s and from those of the people we have supported that breathwork can be as powerful (if not more so) than working with psychedelic substances. The territory we enter is one that can be transformational, and this likelihood is increased if delivered with considered support and a strong container. This is why we are utilising the ancient practice of breathwork and reigniting it to safely support participation in the field.

 
What You’ll Experience:

This session is a gentle introduction to breathwork as a doorway to deep inner experience.
It’s designed for anyone interested in personal growth, emotional healing, or exploring non- ordinary states of consciousness.

You’ll take part in:

  • A short overview of the technique and its purpose
  • Breathwork practice (around 25 minutes)
  • Time for journaling and sharing reflections
  • An introduction to our full day event

You don’t need prior experience — just curiosity and a willingness to explore.
 
Why Is It Called a “Psychedelic” Experience?
 
“Psychedelic” simply means “mind-revealing.” While no substances are used, the breathwork process can bring about vivid imagery, emotional release, and altered perception — much like traditional psychedelics. Many participants find it equally profound and transformative.
 
Is It Safe?
 
For most people, yes. However, if you have certain medical conditions (like epilepsy, heart problems, severe anxiety, or asthma), please get in touch with us beforehand. We can offer modified practices where appropriate.

Following your donation you will be sent a welcome letter so that you can prepare and make the most of your session.

May we be whole
May we be well
May we live in deep peace
