Inspiritu breathwork is a synthesis of breathwave, somatic experiencing, trauma therapy, counselling theory, yoga therapy and earth-based shamanic healing.

September 2025 - May 2026

Level 1 - Foundational Breath

Deeply immerse yourself into the experience of breath.

Receive its medicine to transform your life.

Gently de-armour and experience feelings of greater connectedness, expansion and alignment with your heart, purpose and essential self.

This Level 1 Foundational Breath over two weekends in-person will guide you into a deep dive of conscious connected breathwork. Transform your patterns, deepen your self-awareness and find greater congruence and integration in your life.

This immersion is intended to provide a grounded, sacred and expansive foundation. It is suitable for those seeking healing and wanting be more present with themselves.

This immersion (or its equivalent) is required for those wishing to proceed to the Level 2 Foundational Facilitation training. If you are already a therapist or similar, this Level 1 training will enable you to embody the practice before you facilitate it for others.

This immersion will offer:

Theory:

instruction of conscious connected breathwork, a gentle approach regulating the nervous system
learn about the early defences and patterns that influence how you relate to your world and how you breathe
the collective field of consciousness

Practice:

10 conscious connected breathwork sessions
daily movement, meditation and somatic practice
a ceremonial container and rituals to honour and support the intentions and prayers of each day
daily physical movement and opening techniques to prepare the body for breathwork
relational practices (connecting authentically and vulnerably with other humans)
group sharing and reflections
self-reflection - understand your own armouring and patterns
sensory-awareness practice - somatic and collective field

This immersion facilitated by Christina Niven will provide a solid foundation for the Level 2 - Foundational Facilitator's Training.

Level 1 has been designed so that you can attend in person on the weekends and work during the week. It will be over two weekends in early April 2025 in Vancouver BC. The first weekend will be two days and the second will be three days for a total of five days. Full attendance is required.

Learn how to facilitate conscious connected breathwork grounded in both science and the sacred, while also being ethically and trauma-informed in practice.

Breathwork accesses all levels of the human experience and can provide profound opportunities for healing and integration; its facilitation is an invaluable skill for holistically supporting clients in their healing process. This professional Level 2 Inspiritu Foundational Facilitation Training is well suited for those who appreciate an integrated and trauma-informed approach to breathwork that honours the sacred and is also grounded in science, ethical practice and the therapeutic relationship.

This in-depth and in-person training will enable you to facilitate conscious connected breathwork one-on-one, with small groups and virtually. The course content will reflect a synthesis of breathwave, somatic experiencing, trauma therapy, counselling theory, yoga and shamanism. It has been developed for those who are interested in a well-rounded and grounded foundation for their future breathwork facilitation.

The training will include:

hands-on breathwork facilitation techniques and practice with classmates
