- Curious about Breathwork Facilitation?
The Breathflow Facilitator Training track is designed with the specific intent to get you knowledgeable about, comfortable with, and practicing breathwork facilitation skills as quickly as possible. This is meant to get you out into the field and fulfilling your potential as soon as you can.
Some back history: The virus epidemic derailed my in-person offerings. Since then I have been slow to get back up and running full steam with in-person events. As a result, this is just the second full-length in-person training (of many more to come) since the epidemic ended.
What this means for you is that this round will likely be the quickest route to certification and require the least investment, compared to future rounds of training.
It also means that this training is likely to be a bit smaller than the future, affording you more personal time with Christian as the Trainer.
The flow of trainings goes something like this:
Facilitator trainees are required to have at least one experience of a Breathflow session, either live or online, and either individual or group, prior to the Training Seminar. Or, personal permission from Christian/the Trainer.
*********
The Breathflow Facilitator Training format is broken into 2 sections:
Foundations of Facilitation Seminar, Level 1
Hands of the Divine: Fundamental Skills of Breathwork Facilitation
7 days in-person training
Advanced Facilitation and Breathflow Certification, Level 2
Hands of the Divine II: Advanced Facilitation & Breathflow Certification
Online 6 months, 2x 4-hr days per month = 12 meetings
1 day/month: Lessons and Q&A
1 day/month: Mentor session and Breathflow session for Trainees
(All Sessions are recorded for review and if you cannot attend one live)
Topics for Level 1 Facilitation Training
+Explaining the Breathflow Technique
+Learning the art and science of Breath Assessment—the ability to read a breath pattern, identify dysfunctional pattens, and surmise the underlying issues in a client’s life.
+The basic history of the modern-day wave of breathwork, and where you fit in
+Basic framework for conduction a Breathflow session; pre, during, and post
+Understanding setup for sessions and the tools to enhance your facilitation prowess.
+The 4 “P’s” of setting powerful intentions, for your client’s sessions AND your own sessions.
+The mindset and attitude of a powerfully effective facilitator.
+Basic facilitation techniques for improving the clients flow of breath.
+What releases to expect from a client during a session.
+The skill of Body Mapping and Pinpointed Affirmations for deeper client experiences
+Advanced skills for breaking through resistance in tougher clients.
+Using Breath Sound and Movement to enhance the session experience.
+Working with special/sensitive issues, such as asthma, pregnancy, heart issues, blood pressure, etc.
+Choosing the most effective music for a Breathflow session.
+Aligning with professional and ethical practices for client safety and comfort to let go.
...And more!
By the end of this in-person seminar, the objective is that you have all the knowledge, skills and practice to be able to begin facilitating individuals and perhaps small groups through a breathwork session. If you are desiring to integrate breathwork into an already established healing practice, or you are determined to get up and running with a new venture as soon as possible, this is designed to give you a solid foundation to do just that.
*********
Of course, more knowledge and practice are extremely beneficial if you wish to become a highly regarded practitioner in the breathwork field. The advanced training is designed to help you go deeper in your own practice, sharpen your facilitator skills, and expand your knowledge and understanding of the field of breathwork. And, if you desire to receive official status as a Certified Breathflow Facilitator, you will be required to participate in the advanced training.
Topics for Level 2 Facilitator Training and Breathflow Facilitator certification
+Reporting on your practice in the field and solving questions and challenges for your success.
+The Five Major Areas of Integration that are positively affected with breathwork.
+Conducting breathwork sessions for couples
+The physical anatomy of the respiratory system.
+The chemistry of the emotional experience.
+Basic coaching skills used in a Breathflow session.
+Business practices and insights to increase financial success and make this your full-time occupation, if desired.
+Getting set up to facilitate breathwork sessions online
+Facilitation skills modifications for online sessions
+Deeper explanation of Prana life-force energy for guiding.
+Exploring different breathing patterns.
+Deeper Dive into adding the element of sound to your practice
+Breathwork as “medicine” in comparison, and as an alternative, to plant-medicines and psychedelic medicines.
+Greater skillsets needed to lead and facilitate large groups.
...And more!
*********

In addition to attending the required seminars above, there are a few other actions to take in order to become a Certified Breathflow Facilitator.
The requirements are as follows:
+Read a selection of books from the list of required and elective reading
