The location

Amsterdam

A light filled loft in Amsterdam, layered with art, plants and warm wood. The venue we rent for the week.

Held in a private design loft in Amsterdam that we rent for the training. Long high ceilings, soft daylight, vintage furniture, and a quiet that belies the city outside. We move between deep practice and gentle wandering through the city's softer corners.

Getting there

The venue sits a short tram or bike ride from Amsterdam Centraal. From Schiphol airport it is around 25 minutes by train to Centraal, then 15 minutes on tram or bike. We share the exact address and detailed directions once your place is confirmed.

The five mornings

How the days unfold

Each morning follows the same rhythm. Arrive slowly, land in the body, breathe deeply, work with what surfaces, close in circle. You leave with homework for the afternoon and a practice to carry into the evening.

  1. Day 1

    Landing and the nervous system

    Meeting the room, meeting each other, meeting the breath. First breathwork session. A grounded map of the nervous system so you understand what you are working with.

  2. Day 2

    Fascia and the body's memory

    Somatic bodywork and fascia release. Longer connected breath. Beginning to sense where the body has been holding.

  3. Day 3

    Trauma, IFS and the inner system

    A trauma informed frame for what moves through breathwork. Internal Family Systems as a way to meet the parts of you that arrive.

  4. Day 4

    Energy work and sound

    Deeper energy work with Mariano's live sound journey. The longest breathwork session of the week. Integration in circle.

  5. Day 5

    Integration and closing

    A gentler breath, movement, and the closing ceremony. You leave with a practice, homework, and a clear next step on the path.

Who it is for

  • People who already know something is stuck and are ready to meet it.
  • Coaches, therapists and breathworkers wanting a clinical, embodied foundation.
