A Journey with Eleven Inspirational Teachers of Rebirthing Breathwork
Experience the healing intelligence of the Conscious Connected Breath with eleven heartfelt facilitators within the field. This course creates a safe space in which to work deeply with this breathing technique, which guides us in and through our deepest feelings.
Conscious Connected Breathing brings freedom by simply lifting stuck energy from the emotional, mental and physical; clearing old patterns whilst being present & in the body.
Once we surrender we discover the breath has its own natural rhythm, which gracefully guides and holds us through our healing.
This is a closed group which will meet one day a month with expert teachers facilitating the process. Each facilitator will focus on different aspects of human experience and after each day there will be the opportunity to sit with fire, share experience and food.
Subjects Covered:
Breathwork & Beginnings, Body, Inner Child, The Elements, Personal Power, Relationship, Family & Ancestors, Integration & Nature, Ceremony, Music & Oneness, Completion.
This is an excellent foundation in rebirthing breathwork and self development. It is also a rare opportunity to experience the collective work of these key community members.

Leonard Orr in Glastonbury – 14th and 15th September 2009
Visionary, Healer, Author
Leonard Orr is the founder and father of the worldwide Conscious Connected Breathing – Rebirthing Breathwork – movement. He discovered the technique in the mid 1960’s. Through him it has spread over 27 countries and to an estimated ten million people. Conscious Connected Breathing / Rebirthing has been nick named the Pranayama, (yogic breathing) of the west.
Leonard is a life-long student of self-transformation, body mastery and one of the pioneers of the New Age. He is a modern day yogi, visionary, teacher, author, businessman and leader in the fields of longevity and physical immortality. He has been lecturing and facilitating trainings internationally for over 30 years. He received these teachings through lifelong study with masters and immortal yogis living deep in the Himalayas. He passionately shares this knowledge through his workshops and books.
His ideas have been transformative and revolutionary to the western world. These include Spiritual Enlightenment, Conscious Connected Breathing, Healing with the Elements, Self-Healing, Body Mastery, The Science of Affirmations, Responsible Citizenship, Personal Success and Self-Improvement, Prosperity, Democracy, Comparative Religion, Economics, Health and Immortality.
During the evening talk Leonard will present the culmination of his life’s work, a set of Elemental practices that he found to be the core cleansing techniques of yogic practice. By reconnecting with Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Mind, Love and Grace on a very basic but deep level it is possible to transform our lives. The following day workshop provides a unique opportunity to spend more time with Leonard and experience a rebirthing breathwork session in his presence.
Spiritual purification practices with the Elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Mind, Love and Grace) are simple and effective techniques that can be done on a daily basis to clean and balance our energetic and physical bodies. Cleansing in this way increases our aliveness, brings us more energy, physical health and self-esteem. When we align to the natural forces of nature we begin to resonate to a higher vibration and naturally attract deep peace, joy, love, creativity and professional success into our lives. We move towards our full potential, our true nature. The awareness of the energy body and the practice of cleansing our aura are the secrets of the Yoga of Aliveness. Rebirthing breathwork is purification using the Air element, where we learn to breathe energy or prana, as well as air, in a gentle and relaxed yet powerful way.
There’s no doubt that working with with Leonard is a beautiful and incredibly empowering experience. His presence has a profound healing effect on those who are open to receiving and ready to go more deeply within.
Glastonbury lies in the south west of England, 2½ hours by road from London, Heathrow airport and Birmingham, and one hour south of Bristol. It is a deeply inspiring and magical place, overlooked by the Glastonbury Tor. It has been a sacred mecca since the Megalithic period 5,000 years ago. However it is as old Avalon that it best known and loved, where King Arthur and Guinevere were buried, and Jesus and Joseph of Arimathaea are said to have visited. It is a wonderful place of pilgrimage with its holy springs and sacred gardens.
A recommended list of bed and breakfasts can be provided to you upon request.

Thanks for a brilliant day. As I mentioned at the start of the day, my life has been a little flat despite a positive attitude. However now it is exploding into infinite possibilities as I felt would happen after the breathe which released so much trauma from the past. Lots of love and blessings,
David, Burnham on Sea

Thank you again for a wonderful workshop on Saturday. I found the workshop extremely helpful and beneficial.
I have been taking the opportunity this week to connect with the elements more and more. I feel freer and more capable of anything and everything. It’s an incredible gift. I feel I was already on the path, however the breathing has opened me up and really guided and facilitated that process. So I thank you lovely women. The space felt very safe and well supported, again I thank you for that I would love to attend one of your Monday sessions in Glastonbury soon. I will let you know when I’m planning to come out.
With Gratitude, Love and Blessings

hello Emma, hello Suzanna,
thank you both very much for the course. it was good to watch you work, and useful for me to be a sitter. it was also a very helpful breathe – whilst nothing dramatic happened at the time, energy did shift later that evening, and a little more order has returned to my Life. thank you.
hope to see you both again soon, much Love, Simon

It is so easy to think you know your path. What fits and what doesn’t. Sometimes it’s good to jump into the unknown – something that feels interesting but isn’t really your thing.
That was me with my attitude towards ‘Rebirthing’.
As it happens it was wonderful.
Susannah and Emma (www.thebreathknows.com) were the facilitators and they created a warm, friendly and sacred space in the Quaker Meeting House, Bradford on Avon. As this is where I normally teach yoga it made a change to be a student and recipient.
After a talk about the elements – earth, water, fire and air – we took turns in lying on our backs on sheepskins covered in blankets for our ‘breathe’.
The technique is similar to a full yogic breath inhalation from the belly up into the chest and then a complete letting go on the exhalation. The breathe is continuous with no pauses and feels rhythmic and hypnotic – connected conscious breathing.
Reactions in the group varied from emotional outbursts triggered by latent emotional tensions in the body to transcendental states of consciousness, and many places in between.
Personally I found the experience very rewarding. A deep blend of meditation, pranayama and yoga nidra combined with a cosy feeling of being all snug.
Have a go one day and step out of your comfort zone. It might be more comfortable than you expect.
