New Breathing Circle in South Devon

UPDATE: The South Devon Breathing Circle is not currently active.

Amanda Shell-Phillips is starting a new circle near Kingsbridge in South Devon.

Amanda creates a safe space in which to meet, share, unravel and release that which we are ready to let go of and welcome pure positive creative energy. This cleanses the emotional body, allowing space for higher vibration energy. Each session we set a personal positive intention for that which we wish to call into our life to support, becoming all that we are. We may invite nature spirits to support our work and during the warmer months, we may choose to breathe outside in a magickal garden close to a purifying fire - welcoming the elemental realms to bless and support our healing. Amanda has worked in the field of holistic therapy for over 25yrs and is committed to personal and global transformation.

She creates transformational healing journey's for groups and individuals, calling upon her innate wisdom and intuition she uses dance/movement, breath, shamanism, faerie magick, meditation, massage and yoga.

Amanda's old circle in Cornwall will now be run by Tony Bevington - details to follow...

It was during one of these courses where I experienced my first Conscious Connected Breathing session. It was at this point that I understood that the practice of Conscious Connected Breathing suited me well; being a very analytical person, because listening to my body allowed me to access my shadow side unforeseen before. I then began with individual sessions and after I attended a seven-day retreat based on this Rebirthing breathwork technique. And I congratulate myself for having embraced fully these experiences, as the course of my life truly changed since. They helped me to find the purpose of my life, to strengthen my self-confidence, to feel more self-love and lots more.

Whereas I had done my entire career during 26 years in financial executive positions in large groups in France, Belgium and Australia, in 2009 I decided to move towards a career in which people interaction will be at the heart of it.

I then undertook a journey of intense training in supporting others to achieve their aims, then I became certified Coach and Rebirthing certified practitioner. I’m also trained in NLP, systemic approach and transactional analysis.

I started my journey in personal development fifteen years ago. In 2007, my company transferred me to work in Australia for 4 years. Experiencing the remoteness from my roots, the emotional quest, many personal questions, led me to undertake several personal development courses.

Qu’est-ce que le Cercle de Respiration?

Le Cercle de Respiration (Breathing Circle) créé à l’initiative d’un membre de l’International Breathwork Foundation (Fondation International du Travail de Respiration) est un réseau international de personnes qui se sont engagés dans :

• la santé et la guérison n à travers la pratique de la respiration,
• l’auto-guérison au travers d’états de transformation énergétiques,
• des réunions et des ateliers dans un esprit communautaire.

Puis surtout, les participants des cercles de respiration pratiquent la respiration avec conscience. Comme cette pratique simple a provoqué un changement positif dans nos vies, nous nous rencontrons une fois par mois pour célébrer la respiration et introduire cet outil de transformation auprès d'autres personnes. Les Cercles de Respiration ont lieu en principe le dernier mardi du mois, tous les mois, et, des milliers d'autres personnes respirent ainsi consciemment en même temps à travers la planète.

Cercle de Respiration de Paris

Le premier Cercle de Respiration à Paris est ouvert à tous ceux qui ont expérimenté un minimum de trois séances de Transformational Breath®, soient individuelles et/ou lors d’un stage.
Pour votre propre confort, vous pouvez apporter un oreiller, une couverture et une bouteille d’eau.

Breathing Circle for the Sunshine Coast

Starting in July there will be a new Breathing Circle in Australia. This new circle is on the Gold Coast north of Brisbane. The facilitators for this circle are Rudran Brannock and Angelique Amour.

Rudran Brannock's Bio

I have been involved in my own inner work for a lot of years and it has taken me to a lot of places, internally as well as externally. 

To experience a life of learning I've been a druggie and alcoholic, been in the air force, worked on the oil rigs, picked fruit, sold advertising, gone to university, knocked around much of Australia, lived for years on rebirthing communities, had bones broken, been married twice, and have two extraordinary kids. 

I've fasted and cleansed, prayed and meditated; been initiated, challenged, and dragged kicking and screaming into a semblance of consciousness by those who cared enough about me to kick my arse when I needed it, which was so often that I found it hurt less if I did it for myself.

As a result I studied and taught Aikido, learnt yoga, became a counsellor, a rebirther, a body/energy worker and a social artist. I have also trained in strong circle work, and have been at the cutting edge of the development of western men’s inner work. I am a student of Tantric and Shamanic practices.

I am a sometime consulting editor with Living Now magazine on matters Masculine and Feminine.

I am the founder/visionary of THE JOINING, a gathering of men and women to study the coming together of the Masculine and the Feminine in all their forms, and a director of GENESIS, an organization whose mission is to support the development of sustainable culture and ecology, and the relationship between these two. I am also a founding Member of The Very Good Company, a social enterprise whose purpose is the creation of conscious culture.

I am now 61 years old and my body/mind has become more resonant rather than interpretive. My life purpose is in the passing on of the clues - of growing oneself up into a richly embodied and matured human being; of creating conscious culture and internalizing the Divine Dance of the Masculine and the Feminine

København (Copenhagen) Breathing Circle

Geoffrey Smith is a Breathwork facilitator, life smilist, momentarian and peaceful visionary.

I was born in Lancaster in the North West of England in 1951 and I have been fortunate enough to have travelled the World extensively.

My travelling has taken me to work in many countires but in particular Papua New Guinea (PNG) just north of Australia, where I taught in the rainforests of the highlands of the country.

Whilst there I became interested in indigenous spiritual beliefs and in particular shamanistic practices.

I was trained by the master Danish breathworker and Meta-Health practitioner Lars Mygind. Since then I have been facilitating breathwork sessions throughout Europe.

I have also a Laughter Yoga therapist and an EFT guru, which I have incorporated into my breathwork style.

In more recent times I have commenced a study of Meta-Health from the perspective of breathwork and the practice of being in the present moment.

Thessaloniki Breathing Circle

In a safe environment, we will first become aware of our breathing through simple breathing exercises. Concentrating on the breath helps identifying blockages in the respiratory mechanism and focus on the now. Then, we will share agreements and people will lie down in a comfortable position and will breathe in a circular way (no pause between inhalation and exhalation) for an hour long. This breathing technique (rebirthing breathwork) allows for a gradual transition to a heightened state of awareness and sensitivity (non-ordinary state of consciousness) and connects one with his/ her inner healer.

Gradually, natural and in harmony with his/ her inner needs, the participant enters a deeper state of relaxation and connects to his subconscious mind. While still conscious, releases with the help of the breath any patterns, beliefs and thoughts which do not serve him anymore.

Each session is different and unique for everyone and works experientially from the very first time. The aim of the sessions is to improve the physical and mental health, the discharge of negative charges at all levels, taking responsibility for one’s health and the integration of all techniques in everyday life.
