Years ago I was holding a breathwork and sound night. So many people had booked that it was too many for the space.
The night before, I had a dream: heaps of people cancelling, me stressing, and one moment of turning from left to right in a darkly lit room.
I woke up to cancellations, then more, then calls from people asking to come, then more cancellations. Seventeen or eighteen bookings came down to nine on the night. About halfway through, while I was playing the didgeridoo, I scanned the dimly lit room from left to right, and there it was: the dream.
I posted about it on Facebook, even wondering why I was posting it. Then a friend from Portland reached out: "I just saw your post and felt called to reach out. My partner does breathwork training. Would you be interested?"
His partner was Berenice Schurmann (née Tan), founder of Soulside Breathwork Facilitator Training. That's how my breathwork journey began, and the breathwork I facilitate today grew from her teaching.
