‍

We offer a unique, deeply immersive six-day retreat dedicated entirely to breathwork.
A small and safe group (maximum seven participants) forms the heart of this seminar. We create time, space and a supportive holding so you can truly arrive in yourself — physically, emotionally, and mentally.

Throughout the week, the breath is our central guide: a doorway into inner stillness, clarity, and transformation.

Why Breathwork?

The way we breathe is intimately connected to how we feel, how our body functions, and how we relate to ourselves and the world.

Breathwork affects us on multiple layers of our being. During this six-day immersion we work on three interconnected levels:

1. Physical Level — opening the breath & restoring vitality

Conscious connected breathing directly influences the body’s natural capacity to heal and regulate.
It helps to:

• increase oxygenation throughout the entire body
• improve energy levels and vitality
• stimulate healthy circulation
• balance the flow of energy in the body
• support the release of addictive patterns
• enhance overall well-being in conditions such as stress, respiratory issues, headaches, low energy, psychosomatic symptoms, anaerobic conditions and many others

By creating space in the breath, the body begins to soften, open and regenerate.

2. Mental & Emotional Level — clarity, release & emotional freedom

The breath naturally brings to the surface what has been held in the mind and emotional body.
Through this work, many participants experience:

• reduced worry, fear and anxiety
• increased awareness of self-sabotaging patterns
• release of past traumas and unresolved emotional imprints
• greater enjoyment and appreciation of life
• relief from depressive or heavy emotional states
• a deepening sense of self-worth and inner confidence

The breath helps us process what has been stored, so we can live with more ease, presence and authenticity.

3. Spiritual Level — connection, depth & expanded awareness

As the breath opens, so opens the inner space.

Breathwork can:

• deepen meditation and stillness
• strengthen the connection with our deeper Self
• heighten our sense of interconnectedness with life and the world around us
• expand awareness beyond the habitual patterns of the mind

This level is not forced — it unfolds naturally when the body, heart and mind are safely held and open.

What to Expect

Throughout the six days we combine:

• Deep Breathwork (conscious connected breathing)

At least two longer guided breath sessions each day, carefully structured and fully supported.

• Grounding Yoga

Gentle, embodied postures that open the body, anchor you safely, and help you stay present within yourself.

• Meditation & inner alignment

Short and longer meditations to settle into your body and support the breathwork process.

• Sound work

We use sound and voice as a natural extension of the breath, allowing emotional layers and stored tension to move and soften.

• Awareness & integration practices

These help you understand what is unfolding on a mental and emotional level so the experience becomes not only deep, but also clear and integratable.

For Whom?

This retreat is for anyone who wants to:

• dive deeper into breathwork
• create more space in body, mind and heart
• release old tension, patterns or emotional pressure
• feel safely held during an intensive inner process
• be supported in a small and intimate group
• reconnect with themselves in an honest and grounded way

No previous experience is required — only openness.

Facilitation

The seminar is led by Antoon Walgrave.

Antoon has been immersed in meditation and consciousness work since 2003, and in yoga and embodied practices since 2014. He spent more than 14 months in India, where he studied and co-assisted with Sharat Arora.

For five years he worked intensively alongside Indalecia Rohita Ziritt within the Transformational Breath School, co-facilitating and refining more than 25 seminars and trainings.

He also works individually in his own practice, inspired among others by the work of Gabor Maté (with whom he completed the full Professional Training in Compassionate Inquiry since 2021) and other trauma-informed approaches.

At the core of his work lies the deep connection between spirituality, the body, and trauma healing.
Breathwork, yoga and embodied practices can take us into profound layers and support lasting transformation — but only within a safe, respectful and well-held environment.
This is the essence of this six-day seminar.
