Introduction
Feeling stuck? Need a boost? Ever wonder what it would be like to let down your barriers and become fully alive? Join us for this transformative retreat, featuring 2 days of talks, sharing and breathwork at the Green Hub in Tai Po.

Breath of Bliss™ facilitators, Jhon Kwano and Andrew McAulay, will share their experiences along different paths to awakening, tribal and modern -- exploring where they converge and guiding participants to make a shift in awareness through powerful breathwork exercises. In this way participants will arrive at a deeper understanding of their own unique life journeys and be equipped to pursue a more harmonious relationship with nature, both inner and outer.

Facilitators: 

Jhon Kwano

Jhon is an elder and ‘Messenger’ from the Dani tribe in the highlands of Papua, the largest island in Melanesia, where people still live as their ancestors have for thousands of years. To his knowledge, he is the only traditional Messenger from Melanesia to play this role outside of that region. Jhon will share about life in his village, including initiation, his discovery of the modern world and how breathwork has changed his perspective and Message.

Andrew McAulay

Andrew McAulay has overseen the development of KFBG's programmes since its "rebirth" in 1995 as a nature conservation centre and is the current Board chair. He is passionate about nature, has written two books of poetry and has been practicing and teaching meditation for many years. Andrew will share key moments in his life’s journey, including his struggle with stage 4 cancer and how breathwork has helped his healing.

Breath of Bliss™ is a transformational practice that infuses you with aliveness using breath, movement and sound. Unlike other breathing practices, this exercise focuses on liberating oneself and achieving wholeness.

Deep, circular, connected breathing is very different from every day or yogic breathing. Benefits can include:

• Physical sensation, enhanced sense of aliveness, clearing of blocked energy/emotions giving you more access to desirable emotions
• Profound insights, greater brain connectivity, creativity and focus
• Freedom from stress and anxiety
• Access to the unconscious mind to shed limited beliefs and patterns
• Greater feelings of compassion and connection to yourself, the Earth, and other people
• Stimulation of pituitary gland, the release of natural chemicals to access visions, altered states of consciousness and spiritual awakening.
