Self Expansion: A Breathwork Journey
With Rachael Schneider, LCSW and BC Carter
October 17 - 19, 2025
Do you want to feel more expansive and empowered?
Step into the wilderness for a weekend of healing and rejuvenation, allowing your own breath to be your guide. During this transformative retreat, you will be guided through a series of introspective breathwork sessions that will deepen your connection to self, heal the neglected parts of yourself, and open to the expanse of your authentic self.
Throughout the experience, you will be led through guided meditations and breathwork sessions, with time provided for introspective journaling and enjoying the hot springs. Your journey will be supported by licensed therapists and a trained breath worker. Within the healing setting of the hot springs, you will be invited to hold space for others and to rest in the support of the group. This journey is a choice to heal and nourish yourself within the loving environment of the hot springs.
Why join us
This is an opportunity to gift yourself natural healing and growth in a remarkable place. By tapping into the power of the breath, you will bring awareness to the parts of you that need healing and love. The wild environment of the forest and hot springs will support your experience as you integrate into wholeness, finding lightness and peace.
