WHY ATTEND BREATHWORK AND TRAUMA AWARENESS TEACHER TRAINING COURSE?

If you’re wondering why you should attend our Breathwork and Trauma Awareness Teacher Training Course, let us share with you the compelling reasons to take this life-changing step.

Your breath is more than just a biological function; it’s a gateway to your emotional and mental well-being.

In this Breathwork and Trauma Awareness Teacher Training Course, we’ll use the power of breath to “see” our wounds, fears, and traumas, to start the healing journey, and to enter into an altered state of consciousness, a higher reality, in deeper connection with our souls and the spiritual dimension.

Through intentional breathwork practices, we embark on a transformative path that allows us to illuminate the depths of our wounds, fears, and traumas. By bringing awareness to these hidden aspects of ourselves, we initiate the healing process and open ourselves to the possibility of profound transformation.

As we delve deeper into the breathwork practices, we transcend the boundaries of ordinary consciousness and enter into an altered state of awareness. In this heightened state, we connect with our souls and the spiritual dimension, experiencing a profound sense of unity and expanded consciousness. The power of the breath becomes a vehicle for accessing deeper truths and unlocking the wisdom that resides within us.

With our guest teachers who are trauma healing doctors,  we will learn about different types of traumas, trauma responses, PTSD, how to Integrate the Trauma Response and Regulate the Nervous System, and many other topics on trauma that will give you opportunities for meaning-making, self-discovery, and authentic non-judgmental conversations in a safe and contained space through individual shadow work and group role biography exercises.

The Breathwork and Trauma Awareness Teacher Training Course is not just a course; it’s a transformative experience that can unlock your potential, heal your past wounds, and empower you to live a life of purpose and fulfillment. Whether you’re seeking personal growth or the tools to guide others, this course offers a comprehensive and holistic approach to healing and empowerment.

Dilijan, often referred to as the “Green Heart” of Armenia, is a picturesque city nestled in the lush landscapes of the Tavush Province. Renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty, Dilijan stands out as a haven of tranquility and wellness, with its pristine forests, clear lakes, and crisp mountain air.

The city’s unique charm lies in its verdant surroundings, where dense forests of deciduous and coniferous trees carpet the slopes of the Dilijan National Park. This abundant greenery not only paints the landscape in vibrant hues but also contributes to the city’s reputation for having healing air.

This healing air is not only a delight for the senses but is also believed to have positive effects on physical and mental well-being. Breathing in the crisp, clean air while surrounded by the serene beauty of Dilijan can be a rejuvenating experience, promoting relaxation and a sense of inner peace.

In addition to the enchanting natural surroundings and healing air, we are delighted to announce that we will organize a special hiking excursion during your stay in Dilijan.
