———————————————————————————————————————————————
The practice of conscious, connected breathwork is a profound healing modality which has the power to catalyze deep levels of awakening and support the individual in making direct contact with their essential nature.
“BREATH IS THE BRIDGE WHICH CONNECTS LIFE TO CONSCIOUSNESS, WHICH UNITES YOUR BODY TO YOUR THOUGHTS”
On Breathwork...
Breath is the carrier wave of life itself, the sacred bridge between spirit and matter, and the chariot of the soul. The word breath and soul, or spirit, are synonymous in many ancient languages. The Sanskrit word 'prana', the Latin 'spiritus', the Greek 'pneuma', the Hebrew 'ruach' and the Old Norse ‘önd’, are all words that unify the concepts of breath and spirit. Breathing techniques have been used by ancient cultures around the world for eons in order access spiritual dimensions of the self, for the purpose of deep insight and transformation. In more modern times, various techniques stemming from this core practice have begun to permeate healing communities around the globe, with diverse benefits ranging from trauma release to transpersonal revelation.
Conscious Breathwork is the purposeful application of conscious, connected breathing in both one-on-one and group settings, guided by a skilled practitioner and the Spirit of Breath, held within a ceremonial container. The Spirit of Breath in this case refers to the multi-dimensional collective intelligence that naturally seeks balance and wide-spectrum healing, surrounding and guiding the the act of conscious breathing. For thousands of years humans have found by that changing the rate, ratio, volume and flow of the respiratory cycle, there can be experiential and perceptual shifts in consciousness, spiritual awareness, cognition and self-identity. More recently, when applied therapeutically, the shifts experienced in conscious, connected breathing seem to be linked to a deeper sense of inner connection, somatic roundedness, emotional empowerment and psycho-spiritual integration.
Shamanic Breathwork is a portal or gateway to non-ordinary states of consciousness where profound healing and transformative experiences can occur. It has the power to be life-changing. Deeply engaged, primal, conscious, connected breathing releases dimethyltryptamine in the brain, allowing one to access higher states of awareness, spiritual wisdom, and emotional breakthroughs (catharsis). Through the intelligence of breath (Spirit), the breather is guided on a personal journey into their being, into their soul. The multi-faceted experience of The Essential Nature Breathwork Process incorporates conscious, connected breathwork, intentional ceremony, powerful music, high grade essential oils, vibrational sound, energy work, group circling, quantum breakthrough coaching, sacred circling/processing and various other tools to invoke the deeper aspects of one's being. Integration techniques follow the breathwork journey so that the experience may be solidified into day-to-day life.
Throughout the breathwork process, our inner knowing will illuminate that which the we need to become aware of in order to heal, allowing for both a reclamation of the true self and a reintegration of any phantom personality aspects. This practice is also designed to melt away any limiting perceptual lenses as these distortions are usually held in place by the more dissociated aspects of our sense of self. Additionally, the breathwork will catalyze a powerful cellular healing process in the breather that is difficult to put into words and can only be experienced. There is an infinite wellspring of love, creativity, inspiration, passion, abundance and vitality awaiting you, just on the other side of releasing residual fear, trauma, pain, blockages, stagnations or false beliefs. Breathwork is the key to unlocking the crystalline grail within. It seeks to clear all that stands in the way of our most luminous expression and higher embodiment.

OUR TIME TOGETHER
For each of us, there is a force that is always calling us to remember our true nature.
It is the knowing within that we are a part of something sacred, loving, and incredibly intelligent that is forever imploring us to surrender into the mystery and embrace this life fully, without reservation.
Can you feel it?
The longing to become that elusive self that dwells in absolute freedom.
The ache to return.
You are being summoned forth by the same intelligence that orchestrates the synergistic complexities of nature, that births galaxies. It is your divine origin. And we are here to remind you of this- of who you truly are, beyond all conditioned identity. It is our greatest honor to hold a space for you that will dissolve the barrier between your perceived sense of self and your boundless spirit. For when we attune to the wisdom within, the soul can be known, felt, and understood. This is the path of aligning to your most authentic expression.
WE WILL ENTER INTO SACRED AGREEMENT.
There is no greater unifier than the mutual agreement to be in service to the emergence of the sacred spirit within. Some of the people we have worked with over time have become the dearest friends of ours. When one undergoes such powerful shifts and wants to implement lasting change in their lives, it is amazing to know they have support and guidance just a phone call away. We are here for you far beyond our week together. The transformation we weave extends infinitely.
YOU WILL ATTUNE TO YOUR CELESTIAL BIRTHRIGHT.
You are deeply loved and forever supported by the universal intelligence in which you are a part of. In each moment, we are given the opportunity to honor life and tend to this most essential relationship. If we want to heal (or even hold space for others to heal), we cannot address the problem by attempting to manage the symptoms, but rather we must we go to the root, something that lies within the individual's authentic sovereignty and relationship with creation. We are all walking miracles, inexplicably yet eternally connected to (and literal manifestations of) the creative life force, imbued with the endless impulse to become more of the same. When we deny our true nature, primarily through not attuning to our emotional and subtle bodies, we often turn to unhealthy substitutes in order to fill this void. This is why our work is to support the individual in remembering the truth of who they really are, beneath all layers of illusion, to elucidate the path of surrendering to the infinite wisdom of their essential nature… this is the authentic resurrection of the real you.
Many have forgotten their divine origin.
We see a world of kings and queens incarnate, burdened with a great, celestial amnesia...
We are diamonds waiting to become,
And so we must remember who we are…
This is why we are here.
WE WILL HOLD SPACE FOR YOU IN TRUE VULNERABILITY.
We will not shy away from meeting the more delicate aspects of your being. We understand the importance of embracing the tender wounds we each carry before we attempt to set them free. If necessary, we will grieve with you until any lost aspects of self are fully seen and integrated.
By creating this sacred space, we are anchoring a way of being that represents what is possible for humanity if we were to honor our relationship with the spirit within, the planet, and each other. It is our intention that this experience will inspire you to redefine your relationship with life itself and allow your priorities in waking reality to reflect the unfathomable beauty and depth of what is possible. When we surrender to this process, in vulnerability, openness and receptivity, each participant (including the facilitators) will depart as a completely different person- a truer version of themselves. From this place, we birth anew, aligning to a higher universal truth and forging a unique path of our own. Essential Nature Trainings are a powerful opportunity to shed that which no longer serves you and step into your most authentic embodiment.
The space created for your metamorphosis will be one of grace and profundity, gentle yet deep.
Together, we will actualize your potential.
YOU WILL LEARN TO CREATE YOUR LIFE FROM A PLACE OF DEEPER LUCIDITY.
Many of us carry unconscious beliefs that were never truly ours to begin with. Such beliefs stem from myriad sources, including parents or primary caregivers, family members, ancestral lineages, educational systems, media and society at large. These beliefs cause us to see ourselves and the world not as they are, but as our beliefs dictate. This can, in turn, result in a kind of stagnation, causing us to replay old stories on loop, preventing us from fully living the life we so deeply yearn for. During this immersion, we will be excavating and uprooting any unconscious beliefs that hold you back from living the life you truly want and dismantling them at the thought level. Once they are recognized, acknowledged and seen for what they are, they can be finally released.
We are all meant to experience continuous vibrancy and powerful life force flowing through us. We are here to feel alive and boundless; to know the creative spark of animus. If this is not your predominant state of being, then, together, we will iniatiate your return to the deep wholeness that is your birthright- for it is a natural, graceful process of coming home.
Upon this, you will discover how to become a true architect of your life, creating from a place of purpose, passion and lucidity. We realize that vast potentiality that lies within you, and will encourage you to trust in your infinite capacities and precious gifts. In each moment, we will invite you to stand resiliently in your personal sovereignty- every individual's seat of power. And remember, we are here to support and empower you every step of the way.
LIFE EXISTS THROUGH RELATIONSHIP.
One of the most powerful things we can do is to redefine our relationship with life. Each one of us is a vivid manifestation of universal creative intelligence, and it is our responsibility to tend to this relationship first and foremost, above all others. This (inner) relationship will ultimately determine the quality of all other (outer) relationships we have in this life. It is in this realization that we discover a spectrum of spiritual needs that must be met in order for us to THRIVE. Because of this, our relationships must exist as meaningful bonds of synergistic co-creation and should serve to ultimately nourish our seeds of potentiality within.
We will support you in taking the necessary actions to assure that your relational, personal and business dynamics are in alignment with your deeper needs, and that they are symbiotic, nourishing and encouraging in nature. If they are not at this time, ask yourself if this could this be stemming from old stories or un-serving beliefs structures that unconsciously reflect how you feel about yourself and creation?
Life eternally wants to support you, and in order for you to fully align to this truth, you must be willing to release any agreements you have made (consciously or unconsciously) that restrict the flow of abundance, creativity, love, sovereignty and connectivity. For when you remove the obstructions, abundance and grace naturally want to pour through you. These foundations will guide the work we do together.
The Essential Nature Facilitator Training is designed as a rite of passage into spiritual leadership in addition to a comprehensive training immersion for the trainee. You will heal, you will shed, you will learn, you will activate. Guided by the intelligence of breath and benevolence of Spirit, the entire experience will serve as an initiation into the role of the Sacred Way-Shower. With higher knowledge comes reverential power, and with such power comes sacred responsibility. While the decision to serve humanity in this way is a noble intention, the path comes with a responsibility to represent the spiritual forces of existence with integrity, humility and grace. Thus, we seek to guide the trainee into their most luminous and crystalline embodiment so that they may anchor and harness these energies, becoming a true conduit. By walking between the worlds in purity, we can assist in bridging spirit and matter, illuminating the shadow, healing the wounds, empowering the essential self, and weaving beauty, light and truth into all we touch.
Each training is completely unique to the individual, based on their spiritual developmental needs. We will anchor a space of receptivity to divine guidance and work to support you in the process of surrendering to the wisdom, passion and unique soul blueprint of your higher self. This entire process will serve to illuminate the essential elements of the very transformation you will be facilitating others to have in the future. By the end of the training, you will have a complete understanding of why we are weaving breath medicine and a knowing that not only are you infinitely supported in offering this revolutionary platform to others, but that the process itself is birthing into the world through you from the loving beyond.
Testimonials
“This week. I— can’t find the words— I am utterly in love with mama earth, with my new friends, with myself, with you. To think I ever sought joy outside myself, when all this time the treasured gold I was looking for was inside me all along. Thank you to all of the events of the world that led me to find this training, to journey into the woods, to journey into Breathwork, to uncover what I had always carried within me. During one of the breathwork journeys in this training, I was overcome with insatiable laughter. I felt like I stepped outside myself and was looking in, and I found it outrageously comical how seriously I take life sometimes. I realized that life is to be treasured, enjoyed, cherished, marveled at— when we see the world as magical, mystical and playful, it is incredibly fun to be alive! We don’t need to “be” anything, just who we are. All we desire is to be loved and safe. It is so simple and beautiful. And what a gift laughter is— like a burst of sunshine from our souls— bright, infectious and wow, the warmth it spreads!
Life. Is. Full. Of. Magic.
I cannot begin to convey how powerful, wonderful, intense yet glorious Breathwork is! Breath medicine is a magical tool in which we heal ourselves— no outside sources necessary. But I will say having fabulous, compassionate facilitators deepens your experience and touches your heart. If you have a chance to study, heal and grow with this amazing teacher and human, DO IT!”
— EJ BRUMFIELD, COLORADO
“The Facilitator training in Asheville was so incredible and I am BLISSED out after a week of Essential Nature Breathwork Journeys.💫Words cannot express how grateful I am to have discovered this gentle but oh so powerful modality of healing! It’s allowed me to connect with my spirit in a way I didn’t even know was possible. Tapping into these altered states of consciousness has unlocked so much inner wisdom around my body, my past and my future in such a beautiful way. And as a teacher, I can take my own clients only as far as I’m willing to go myself. I completely stepped outside of my comfort zone and breathed into all the tender areas of my body I had been unknowingly neglecting. ✨During several of the journeys, my intuition showed me how far disconnected I was from my own feminine flow. ✨The hard exterior of the masculine to push, control, do-do-do attitude has been running my life for so long- a subconscious program I developed to be respected and “successful” and to uphold my feelings of self-worth. ✨Awakening my intuition through the breath, allowed me to see the need to let go of that mask and come back to my innate feminine nature.🌹✨Flowing through life and becoming magnetic by allowing is the beauty of stepping into your truth as a women. ✨Each Breathwork Journey was a completely new resolution, aha moment, energetic shift and vast healing experience. It’s so hard to put into words the deep self-discovery that occurs by connecting consciously to the breath, but it’s a unique and mystical session of growth each time. ✨After all the new knowledge I’ve learned, I can’t wait to take my clients even deeper.”

“A few months ago, I stumbled upon this facilitator training, which, to this day, I do not fully understand how it came to find me but that’s exactly what it did. It found me. I have sat down multiple times over the past few weeks to try to write about my experience but it’s almost as if words are just not enough— which is hard for me to say because words are my love language! But this journey deserves so much more than words. Which is why I am going to devote as much of this lifetime (and let’s face it, many many more) exploring the sacred breath by holding the space needed to help guide others to heal from years of trauma and conditioning. Trying to explain this profoundly life-changing experience I dove into on this training feels impossible. It truly feels like trying to explain the concept of colour when ones eyes have yet to open. But after surrendering and stripping everything back, I was left with all I know. All that I stand for. I was left with Love. I went on so many deeply healing journeys via my breath during this training (some I didn’t even think would be possible without the help of plant medicine), but everything came back to love. Love for myself, love for others and love for absolutely everything! This life is so simple and enjoyable when we just exhale and realise that we are all here to love. Take away the pressure to achieve the unnecessary and just be love! I spent so many years overcomplicating just about everything, trying to figure out my dharma because that is what I thought life should be. And even though I have been an advocate for love for a while, this journey just brushed away anything that didn’t offer this. It showed me that true authentic love from strangers exists by providing me with 9 mind-numbingly beautiful people that are now in my heart forever as family.
I have done my fair share of spiritual trainings and I’m sure I’ve got a few more left to enjoy, however, this wondrous week of my life was my ultimate magic moment. Everything stems from this experience. When I’m 80 sitting on my porch in my rocking chair with a substantial collection of cats surrounding me, this journey will be where I look back to and think— that was when I realised that everything will always be ok. I don’t usually speak about the specific trainings I have done as I feel it is important for us to find our way naturally and organically, however, if you feel called to the path of breathwork and you are waiting for the universe to send a sign then please take this as just that.”

“If you are considering taking this training, don’t think, just do. I just finished up last month and it was invaluable and a very special time. Such a mystical, beautiful, uplifting and life-affirming experience sharing this powerful Breathwork Facilitators Training in the Blue Ridge Mountains with this strong and soulful group. Aeleo is a magnanimous guide and human. Thank you to him for the passionate guiding and space-holding. Looking forward to offering these extremely powerful techniques to others.”

THANK YOU!
“The family we created at our Breathwork Facilitator Training in the Pisgah Forest was truly one of a kind. I enjoyed the laughter, smiles, tears, wisdom exchanged, sharing a kitchen and breathing with this group! I am grateful to have met everyone there— coming together from different parts of the country and world in the most magical of places! We each arrived having done the real work so that we were able to show up for each other so authentically, holding space for one another in a way not many can. I don’t know the nuances of everyones lives, but I am grateful for and honor the things each participant has been through to make them who they were when I met them. It is the powerful healing tool of the breath that brought this group together and is the path I’ve chosen to continue to share with others and look forward to facilitating. This is what a more conscious, loving world looks like and to everyone there, I look forward to our paths crossing soon. Thank you infinitely for the medicine you all brought last week!”
— SIRAH MORAH, CALIFORNIA
"Participating in the Breathwork Facilitator Training was a heart-opening and life-changing experience! Aeleo created a beautifully sacred and healing space for personal growth through the breathwork and also fully prepare you to guide others through the process. They encourage each participant to find their own path of facilitation, which felt empowering and respectful of our own learning and process. It is clear they have done their own work in the way that they show up with authenticity, unconditional love, non-judgment, and integrity. They are experts at intuiting and meeting people where they are! I can’t wait to do more work with them in the future. I highly recommend this training for anyone interested in breathwork and teaching it in their communities!"
— SHARON J. BALSAMO, OREGON
"There are no words for how amazing and transformational the Essential Nature Breathwork Facilitator Training was. The opportunity came into my life at the perfect time and brought in an abundance of true light and strength. Aeleo is such a beautiful soul and has so much love and healing to offer the world! I am forever grateful that he appeared on my path and has helped me to find my most aligned, powerful self. I did not originally choose to do this training to become a breathwork facilitator, I am a stay-at-home mother of young children, so I thought I was just doing it as part of my own healing journey, but that quickly changed and now I cannot wait to offer this deep healing to others. My heart is so full of gratitude and my mind is in a state of pure bliss!"
— KIFFANY HORTON, OREGON
"Through the breath (Spirit, Source, God or a thousand other names), I was able to connect to the multi-dimensional aspects of my being. Whether they were the lives of ancestors living within me or other lives of mine, I don't fully know yet. Regardless, I was able to unify them in powerful ways; like a diamond with infinite facets. I was able to see things differently, through higher and more interconnected vantage points. I reached levels of consciousness I never knew to be possible. I remembered Aeleo from another place."
— ANONYMOUS FROM THE VIRGIN ISLANDS
"What an amazing journey I had with Aeleo! I did not really know what I was going to experience but it was exactly what I needed. I received so much confirmation of my path and the experience itself catalyzed my personal, spiritual and professional growth. It is now undeniable I was supposed to learn from them on my quest of bringing healing into this world. I feel so blessed, so centered and ready to humbly move forward with integrating breathwork into all aspects of my life. I truly had a spiritual awakening through the training and there are not enough words to express my level of gratitude for this."
— FREYA NEWSTAT, WASHINGTON
"I had small intentions heading into the Facilitator Training but after only one day of working with Aeleo I realized my path and purpose was going to expand far beyond what I have ever imagined. Aeleo is extremely passionate about the essential nature format and how it can transform both the individual and collective. His enthusiasm and dedication encouraged me to pursue myself in a safe and loving environment, allowing me to peel back many layers that were blocking who I really am. I am leaving the training with gratitude, love and desire to bring forth this flame onto my path with newfound purpose and understanding. I wanted to thank you again for all your care, compassion, wisdom, enthusiasm and inspiration. I have never believed in myself as much as I do now, I have never understood and cared for humanity as much as I do now."
