  "description": "What might it mean to Befriend the Breath?\n\nWhat if, the Breath is a technology you can explore?\n\nHow is it, to consider the Breath, as both a guide and a resource?\n\nInhale the heart speeds up. Exhale the heart slows down...What might this mean for you?\n\nCurious questionings to live in to… there are many ways to listen to and through the Body, Heart:Mind, with the Breath. \n\nThis workshop will consist of an opening circle for us to co-create a safe space for our experiences. We will then explore an introduction to the Breath as receptive guide and active resource. Which can support you to sense, create and navigate your states of experience. \n\nYou will be resourced to regulate and calm your Body, Heart:Mind with your Breath, supporting your awareness of the nervous system of the Body and your inner atmosphere of Heart:Mind. We will then take a rhythmic journey with Conscious Connected Breathing, exploring Breath-holds and pendulating into plateaus of calm on our climb. Then descending down into a state of rest and the beginning of integration.\n\nThe states experienced in Breathwork are created by you.. they might be soothingly gentle and balancing to enlivening, ecstatic and a myriad of in-between… they can have Psychedelic potential, wether subtle glimmers of relational revelations or full multi sensory meandering of ineffable meaning…  or not… in which case there’s a profound cascade of health benefits to embrace!\n\nYou will be invited to enthuse care and curiosity, listening through out your journey… both welcoming the mystery(ing) and cultivating your connection with your Breath as you journey through inner terrain of Body and atmospheres of Heart:Mind.\n\nIf your new to Breathwork or had experience before you welcome to join… this will be an inclusive space both welcoming those bringing clear intention or open curiosity. If it is your first time exploring Breathwork or you have questions, please do contact me via email.\n\n_For those who've been before. This evening Journey is shorter than the day events and we'll be entering into the main journey Conscious Connected Breathing sooner._\n\n### **Your Journey**\n\n \n\n**Resourcing:** We will be inviting  curiosity and play into our experience. Exploring different  practices that can raise your awareness of and capacity with the breath. Wether creating states of rest and rejuvenation, focus and balance or stimulating energy and inviting inspiration. These can be used to support you, both  in the day to day and  be explored as practices in a deeper way… or braided into other something  light and fun. The breath is always here, to both listen to and relate with.\n\n**Breath-holds:** We will be exploring what happens when we suspend the Breath, intentionally and with curiosity. Inviting comfort into the breathless space, developing our resilience to stress, increasing CO2 tolerance (a good thing!), and brining awareness to the relation between the flow and volume of our thoughts through the Breath. \n\n**Conscious Connected Breathing:** We will then guide you through a process of Conscious Connected Breathing, a simple yet profound rhythmic breathing practice. One of braiding willpower and kindness into the inhale, then inviting acceptance and letting go through the exhale, this is done whilst laying down with Jez and other Breathwork facilitators holding the space. As well as increasing your physical capacity for the breath, this can induce a full spectrum of experiences, from ecstatic states to physical and emotional release, to states of deep rest, calm, and everything in-between. You will be supported in both the intention of and the listening within your journey. \n\n**Integration:** After the journey ends, we will have time to rest, beginning our processes of integrating, and have an opportunity to share our experiences. There will be some unstructured space after the event ends to connect over tea, fruit and chocolate.\n\nOur aim is to facilitate an experience of your own power with the breath, whilst in a co-created safe space. Introducing the Breath as  both, a guide and resource, for you to integrate into your life, available for you to support navigating your states.\n\nBefore purchasing a ticket, please read and consider the [_ **contraindications** _](https://docs.google.com/document/d/18s0EAc8Dovlqnv542L-ze-vnm7Q6TdN7_MvFRCE6OfA/edit?usp=sharing)  \n\nIf you have any questions about the workshop, or any other medical, or psychological issues which may interact with your participation please make contact.\n\n### About Your Facillitator: Jez Grattan-Kane\n\n \n\n![](https://r2.dandelion.events/2025/07/10/09/59/54/fa012778-bbe1-4edd-8d7c-8b6fe045a9cb/IMG_2792.jpeg)\n\nJez Grattan-Kane is a Yogi and Breathwork Facilitator, with a love of ecology and curiosity to the embodied and relational nature of human experience.
