Lived,Not Learned
A free, live, 90-minute introduction to breathwork facilitation.
You're invited to come along and experience the way Orygen teaches breath, explore the beginnings of a practice that feels like yours and see how it could find a place in your home, your work or a professional practice of your own.
Where in your week would a practice like this belong?
Imagine having a practice you can actually reach for.
You finish a full day with clients and the house is already asking for you. You have a few minutes between the car and the front door. What would it feel like to know how to meet yourself there?
Or perhaps you are preparing a workshop. You can picture the women in the room and the conversation you are there to lead. Breathwork could belong in that experience, but you would like to understand it well enough to shape it around those women, rather than borrow a sequence and hope it fits.
Your breath travels with you through the life you already lead. The practice becomes meaningful when you can recognise what is happening in your own body, make choices about how to work with it and return to it after the session ends.
Then, if you choose to facilitate, you bring that lived relationship into the room with you.
Spend ninety minutes inside the Orygen approach.
I will guide you through a breathwork experience with room for curiosity, choice and your own interpretation. You will notice how the invitation changes when no one is asking you to produce a particular response.
- How the invitation changes when you can adjust your position.
- How it changes when you can direct your own attention.
- How it changes when you choose your own participation.
We will explore some of the different ways breathwork can be used and why the purpose of a practice matters as much as the technique.
In the full facilitator training, you learn four types of breathwork and how to choose, adapt and build with them. Here, you will experience the way we begin: with the woman who will carry the practice into her life.
What could this become in your hands?
A coach may find a thoughtful way to open a session.
An educator may begin with her own practice before considering what is appropriate in a classroom.
A wellness practitioner may see how breath could complement the work she already does.
A founder may realise that she needs this relationship with herself in the life surrounding her business.
You may also be imagining a new expression of your work: a one-to-one practice, a workshop, a programme, a retreat or a room that could only be shaped by your experience and the people you understand.
You will see the difference between using breath in your own life and carrying professional responsibility for somebody else’s experience.
After the journey, you will make a simple practice of your own.
You might give it a place before a client session, after the school run, during a transition at home or at the beginning of a creative workday.
Tap each card to turn it over.
You will decide where it belongs and how you will recognise when a different approach or another form of support is called for.
The woman leading the practice is part of the practice.
Inside Orygen, we pay attention to the facilitator as a woman with a body, relationships, working hours and a life beyond the room she leads.
You might picture a retreat that fills beautifully. Picture the day after, too. You are responding to participants, preparing what you promised, receiving payment for your work and returning home to the people you love. What kind of practice and professional structure would let you enjoy the life that work enters?
Certification matters. So does the woman who lives the work.
Orygen Breathwork™ Facilitator Training develops both. You begin with your own breath and identity, then learn the professional skills to observe, adapt and facilitate. You practise with others, receive feedback and demonstrate your capability through observed work.

Meet Elise.
I’m Elise Rose, founder of Orygen Breathwork™ and creator of the Orygen Method™.
Breath has met me in many places: through movement and running, through rebuilding my life, and on the floor beside my son when he was little. Some days our practice was quiet. Other days his contribution sounded remarkably like a dragon.
That experience helped shape the way I teach. I care about the breath you can return to when I am nowhere nearby. I care about play, pleasure and the freedom to find an expression that feels true in your body. And I care about the professional judgement required when another person trusts you to guide them.

What you will leave with.
You will have experienced a guided Orygen breathwork journey, shaped the beginning of a personal practice and chosen a real place for it in your week.
You will also see how personal practice develops into professional preparation: learning different approaches, understanding their purpose and limits, and practising facilitation with observation and feedback.
Come and experience the beginning.
Bring somewhere comfortable to sit or lie down, water and a pen.
