Breathe Transform Workshop

  • The Button Factory 2 Abbey Street Auckland, Auckland, 1010 New Zealand (map)

Facilitated by Donna O’Connor, Anita Dempsey & Morgan Geldard

Breathe ~ Release ~ Reset

Start your your with intention and connection - join us for an evening of breathwork in a heartfelt space designed for healing and self-discovery. Guided by three qualified and experienced breathwork facilitators. This is your invitation to step into the year with clarity, openness and purpose, reconnecting to what matters most to you. Whether you’re seeking grounding, to cultivate inner peace or embrace transformation, this is a time to nurture your body, mind and spirit as you set the tone for the months ahead. All are welcome as we embark on this journey together.

Breathing, beyond the basic need for survival, acts as a bridge between spirit, mind, and body; between the conscious and the subconscious. “Breakthrough Breathwork” is one of the quickest ways to open the heart and energise the body. Many describe the breakthrough breathwork ceremony as transformational and reflect on an experience filled with release in which they can let go of negative feelings and trauma.

Breakthrough Breathwork combines the wisdom of ancient healing practices with modern techniques to unlock your potential.  It’s a dynamic fusion that connects the elements of your being to achieve a state of harmony.

Decades of scientific research indicate the benefits of breathwork can include:

  • Reduced stress, anxiety or depression

  • Improved deep sleep

  • Enhanced cardiovascular performance

  • Improved respiratory function

  • Increased energy levels

  • Enhanced immunity recovery/resilience

  • Reduction in pain levels

Donna O’Connor

Donna is a master breathwork instructor who has trained with Johannes Egbert’s from Breathless, combining this with her knowledge of pranayama from her yoga background. Her mission is to spread knowledge on how breathing efficiently can effectively change your life. Our breath informs every aspect of our lives: our sleep quality, our stress levels, our immunity to diseases, how long we live and so much more. Unfortunately, these days most of us breathe incorrectly and it's terrible for our health. This breathwork ceremony will open your eyes to just how powerful your breath is and leave you feeling motivated to learn more about this free gift that we all have access to - our breath.
