    Why Attend

    A unique opportunity to feel amazing.

    Immediate relief

    Ease stress, anxiety and low mood using The Vortex Intentional Breath System.

    Better sleep

    Meditation techniques that invite peace and deep relaxation into your life.

    Greater wellbeing

    Learn free tools that you can use every single day to live a life of freedom and ease.

    A sense of purpose

    Remember how it feels to be truly happy and to find joy in daily life.

    Who It's For

    For anyone looking to better themselves.

    Most people were never taught to breathe functionally. Learning to breathe properly can move you out of chronic fight-or-flight and back into peace and balance.

    The Experience of the Intentional Breath, Meditation & Cold Exposure.

    These tools can be particularly helpful if you are living with:

    • Mental health struggles
    • A lack of purpose
    • Depression and low mood
    • Chronic stress
    • Addiction
    • Anxiety and overwhelm

    Please note: the breathwork is not suitable during pregnancy. If you experience panic attacks, let us know and sit out the exercises.
