Breathwork Ceremony

Location: RACV Royal Pines Resort
Facilitator: Jaci Rogash

About the Session
Breathwork is a profound healing tool that uses a continuous connected breath to guide you into a deep inner journey. It helps you release emotions, access your intuition, and reconnect with your true self. In this space, breath becomes a sacred medicine—working beyond the physical body, through energy, past conditioning, and even ancestral patterns.
Continuous connected breathwork can be described as a form of meditation, where you enter an altered state of consciousness through intentional breathing. As you breathe in a rhythmic flow, your mind quiets, your nervous system regulates, and your body begins to release stored emotions and tension.
Some experience deep emotional release, others feel a profound sense of peace or clarity, and many receive insights or visions that guide them forward. Every journey is unique, but all are transformative.
Whether you're seeking emotional or energetic release, healing, clarity, or connection to your highest self, breathwork is a portal to your transformation.
