Neo-Shamanic Breathwork
Begin 2024 with a commitment to your personal growth and healing. Neo-Shamanic Breathwork uses the power of your breath to create a state of heightened awareness and provide access to deeper levels of consciousness. This process allows you to increase self-awareness, heal past traumas, and achieve a greater sense of well-being.
About the Event
Join us for an immersive one-day retreat, where we invite you to explore your inner world through Neo-Shamanic Breathwork, a powerful and holistic breathing practice developed by James Frazier that combines the best of shamanic wisdom and sensibilities with the developmental depth psychology of C. G. Jung and other Jungian theorists. Rooted in the lineage and tradition of Holotropic Breathwork™ developed by Dr. Stanislav Grof, it uses the power of the breath to create a state of heightened awareness and provide access to deeper levels of consciousness. This process can lead to profound healing and personal growth, allowing individuals to increase self-awareness, heal past traumas, and achieve a greater sense of well-being.
Under the guidance of a skilled facilitator and in sacred space alongside like-minded souls, you will initiate a deep pattern of breathing while listening to powerful and evocative music to access nonordinary states of consciousness. In this expanded state, you will have the opportunity to release stagnant energies, emotional blockages, and old patterns that no longer serve you. You will create space for deep healing, restoration, and spiritual expansion.
Your experience will be completely unique to you, but some of the things you may experience during and following breathwork include:
Emotional Release: You’ll bring to the surface and release deep (and sometimes unconscious) emotions or past traumas in a safe and sacred container.
Enhanced Self-Awareness: You’ll gain a broader lens from which to view your life experiences, investigate deeper dimensions of the psyche, and build a better relationship with self.
Improved Well-Being: By breathing in a deep and intentional manner, you’ll not only release tension from the physical body but foster a stronger mind-body connection for overall well-being.
Spiritual Exploration: You may experience nonordinary states of consciousness beyond the physical and material realms, such as connecting with the transpersonal, the divine or the cosmos, spirit guides, and even past life experiences.
No prior experience with breathwork is required. This event welcomes both beginners and those familiar with the practice. Come with an open heart and a willingness to explore the infinite possibilities that lie within you.
Begin your journey by scheduling a free 20-minute introductory call with Jen to learn more about this style of breathwork and to see if it’s the right modality for you. If you’ve already participated in one of Jen’s events, please send a note to jen@jenskancke.com to reserve your spot.

Event Details
-
Neo-Shamanic Breathwork is a holistic and experiential process initiated by the breath. Within a safe and sacred setting and lying down with your eyes closed, you actively engage a deep pattern of breathing while listening to powerful and evocative music. As you enter a nonordinary state of consciousness, you simply allow whatever comes up for you to be experienced and released. You’ll have Jen’s guidance and support for the entire journey. The experience includes the creation of a mandala as well as group processing.

This one-day retreat begins promptly at 8:30 AM and will conclude at 6:00 PM. We’ll start with a brief discussion of breathwork and then walk through everything you need to know for the experience, including how to do the breath, what you might expect, and other logistics to support your process. There will be two breathwork journeys—one in the morning and one in the afternoon, with a break for lunch in between. We’ll wrap up our day together with a group processing circle, where you will share your experience with the group and experience the power of being supported and witnessed in a safe space.
