First Ever Vital Essence Breathwork Held in Shropshire

First Ever Vital Essence Breathwork Held in Shropshire

This powerful movement, that takes you deep inside your body, deeper than most therapies or massages have the ability to take you. It is so exciting to be able to bring this transformative practice to Centre for Integral Health and the UK for the first time on 3-4th September 2016



Areas of trauma and disassociation can come back to life, with the deep breathing patterns that shake and open the whole body from inside to out, allowing new light and air to open and stimulate bod and mind.


One of the quickest ways to access the deepest levels of your Body.
With a few catalysts that engage certain parts of the body in a specific way, we can bring the breath and release trauma/residual tension within minutes for some people, where other practises after years may never have touched.


The practice helps to develop and powerfully transform:



  • body awareness

  • felt sense

  • trauma release

  • freeing body energy and old patterned imprints


Deep and intimate connections are made via:



  • vagus nerve

  • psoas

  • diaphragm

  • deep connect breath



The practice has commonalities to:



  • The work of Alexander Lowen

  • TRE

  • Yogic Breathing

  • Qigong

  • Inspired by Biodynamic breathwork and holotropic breathing


Each session will consist of:



  1. Introduction
    2. Loosening and activating the Fascia and Belts of tension
    3. Vital Essence Breath work
    4. Meditation and integration




The Benefits can amount to a deep life changing experience that help free old patterns that constrict the Breath and movement of the body.Entering into more than 1 session 'which is recommended' allows the process to go deeper, bringing more space and deeper release to the body.


The weekend will consist of a total of 2 sessions of breathwork, each around 4hrs long long.
You can choose to come for just one day or significantly deepen the experience by attending both days.
Each day strictly limited to 8 people, places reserved by full payment for each day.
Each day will cost £100, total investment £200 for the weekend.


Participants will only need to bringbring a pillow, several blankets, yoga mat for comfort. Plus theirintention for the day of what they would like to release in the journey.
It is advised you give yourself the evening off to integrate.


Each session will be lead and guided by international teacher Simon Calder with auxiliary support from Centre Director Ben Calder


A further weekend will be held on 24-25th September under the same format and provides an opportunity for participants to work deeper than time allows on this initial weekend.
