Hello breathers,
It's been a while since updates, partly because of this new spring energy that generates so much new momentum, creativity, ideas and social engagements. It's been wonderful.
September and October have seen deep inward journeys taking place. The first was part of my trip to New Zealand for the NZ Association of Breathworkers Conference. This three day event was held at the beautiful Coromandel Peninsula. The NZ breathwork family welcomed me with open arms and hearts. They are a small, but tight knit community that meet regularly and it was a real honor to be sponsored to attend.
My next big journey was just last weekend, with an intensive meditation retreat at the Blue Mountains. I had a lot of resistance going into that retreat, but thankfully much of that dissipated upon my arrival. One of the big lessons from that weekend was about honoring my teachers and to remain guided by their wisdom and experience (in other words, be humble). I also had some massive transpersonal experiences (beyond Self) that rattled my foundations (the Ego) but provide such beautiful lessons about the act of surrender.
What's happening in October and November
This October and November are going to be exciting months.
The first is a group breathwork session scheduled for 6.30pm, Tuesday, 19 November 2019 at Nishi Gallery. This event is part of Transition Breath's BreathFast Club, which holds various breath related events throughout the year.

The next Namadgi walk is on Saturday, 23rd November from 10am (yet to be advertised). Send me an email if you're interested in joining. We're walking to Yankee Hat again and it'll be the last walk for the year.
Finally, I commence my breathwork apprenticeship on Saturday, 30 November. If you're interested in joining these breathwork training retreats, you can register for the 2020 Breathwork Personal Development program. Contact mirabai@risingvines.com if you're interested in joining.
That's it for now. As always, reach out if you're interested in one-on-one breathwork sessions on Wednesday, Thursday evenings and all day Friday.
Breathe well,
Josh
