Breath of Life 2027. Summer Training in Kików

A week-long summer breathwork training with Michał Godlewski at the Kików Workshop Centre: daily Transmodal Breathwork sessions, walks, exercises and time together. The motto is “Stand strong in the flow of life” – more strength, presence and freedom in making decisions that are good for you, and more ease in enjoying life: in reaching goals, creating a vision, health, relationships, contact with your own depth and spiritual growth. The training is transformational, process-based and evolutionary rather than informational.

Breath works in every cell of the body and strongly affects body, emotions, mind and spirit. It lets you reach the biological foundations of your existence and reorganise them, and dive into your own depth to experience transpersonal, spiritual and shamanic states – in order to bring their essence into everyday life.

Who it is for

For people who want to use breathwork to work on themselves and their lives. Possible benefits named by the organiser:

• changing a specific life pattern – e.g. not accepting your body, fear of closeness, relationship difficulties, unsatisfying work, overworking, emotional difficulties, fear of being seen, perfectionism, lack of motivation, financial difficulties or health complaints

• freer self-expression: recognising and communicating feelings and needs, more ease among people and joy in what you do, fuller sexuality, creative work

• developing the capacity for love and empathy and for creating your life and achieving results

• a life vision in a chosen area – insight into difficult situations, the further path of a relationship or career

• coming closer to your own truth, nature, potential and deepest desires

• attunement with the overarching purpose of your life – calling, place in the world and meaning

The organiser states plainly that the training may bring benefits in one particular area (which affects the whole person), and that expecting all of these results at once is unrealistic. Participants are encouraged to clarify their own intention. Inner work has its own pace – the sessions bring up what a participant is ready to hold and integrate.

Contraindications: current use of psychotropic medication, post-operative states, epilepsy, aneurysm, active substance addiction. People with asthma should bring an inhaler.

Programme

Participants receive knowledge, tools and support for dealing with life’s challenges and learn to use them on their own: breath meditation, regressive trauma healing, Body Centered Exercises, self-coaching (self-guidance techniques), work with family and archetypal constellations, dance and sound ceremonies, and breathwork – Transmodal Breathwork. Processes that accompany breathwork:

• releasing, expressing and integrating feelings

• releasing traumatic experiences

• easing tensions that shape the body and state of health

• freeing the flow of life energy and greater body sensitivity – to discomfort as well as pleasure

• closing unfinished, energy-draining matters from the past

• strengthening inner authority by awakening your own wisdom and intuition

• attuning the personality to the soul and opening to the space of spirit

• healing transpersonal experiences and contact with existence

Daily schedule:

• 8:00–9:30 – breath, well-being and body-awakening practice, followed by breakfast

• 10:45–14:00 – breath session

• 14:00–15:45 – lunch

• 15:45–18:00 – breath session

• 19:15–21:30 – evening circle, integration of experiences

Michał Godlewski – founder of Instytut Oddechu (Breath Institute); he leads the Professional Breath Practitioner Training (BREATHWORKER) and works with the Transmodal Breathwork method.
