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.

What is the aim of this course?

Module 1: Self-Healing through Breathwork and Trauma Awareness

Unlocking Your Inner Healing Potential

Module 1 of our Breathwork and Trauma Awareness Teacher Training Course is aimed primarily at self-healing. As a pre-requisite for those who want to become breathwork facilitators, as well as those therapists who want to integrate breathwork into their activities, it is necessary to discover the power of breathwork through direct experience by becoming familiar with different practices and techniques.

Module 2: Becoming a Breathwork Facilitator (Breathwork and Trauma Awareness Teacher Training Course)

Guiding Others on Their Healing Journeys

Module 2  is designed for those who aspire to become skilled breathwork facilitators, capable of guiding others through their healing and transformational processes. In this module, you will acquire the knowledge, tools, and ethical principles needed to support individuals on their unique healing journeys. MODULE 2 is open to individuals who have completed Module 1 through our program or have successfully completed any Breathwork Teacher Training Course.

At the same time, Module 1 and 2 are also meant to be guidance to those who are on a Spiritual Path or are just starting to get familiar with the Spiritual world.

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.
