Experience a life-changing journey while feeling the support of a loving community during our Vitality Breath Level One Course. This 5-day program focuses on deep personal transformation and provides a foundation of breathwork principles, practices, and techniques.

Our retreat will take place at a beautiful waterfront setting on Maryland’s scenic Eastern Shore with gorgeous views and amazing sunsets. Join us June 6-12 at Shore Retreats on Broad Creek.

It is also close to many local highlights, including the Oxford-Bellevue Ferry to historic Oxford, picturesque St. Michaels, the Academy Art Museum, local artists’ studios, antique shops and scenic harbors.

We will use our breath to release emotional and physical blocks, clear limiting beliefs, deepen our intuition, heal relationships, connect to our inner healer, and experience personal growth and spiritual awakening.

Level One includes:

  • Two breath sessions a day, including one water breathe

  • Individual, partner, and group experiential work

  • Sound healing

  • Daily movement

  • Integration in nature

  • Development of a take-home practice
