Primordial Breathwork™ brings together Amazonian and Tibetan ancestral wisdom, where breath is recognized as the bridge between body, mind, and spirit. More than physiology, breath is the primary regulator of life force, guiding us back to presence and healing.
This experiential practice follows the elemental centers: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Ether, Space, and Infinity, each symbolizing the growth of a seed into full flowering. The cosmology behind the practice relates to the hero’s conscious journey toward the primordial state of unconditional presence, regarded in both traditions as a vital evolutionary portal to infinite creative life force. Through breath, sound, rhythm, and awareness, we awaken coherence, receptivity, and heart-centered awareness.
Health Benefits
Participants often experience:
• Stress reduction and nervous system regulation
• Relief from anxiety, depression, and chronic tension
• Support for trauma and PTSD recovery
• Deeper clarity, focus, and sleep
• Emotional release and resolution of past wounds
• Enhanced vitality and creativity
While cathartic release may arise, the aim of Primordial Breathwork™ is not drama or spectacle but cultivating coherence, receptivity, and integration. Similar in some ways to modern methods like Rebirthing (Leonard Orr) and Holotropic Breathwork (Stanislav Grof), this practice is also distinct because of beeing rooted in living Amazonian and Tibetan wisdom and emphasizing reciprocity, ecological consciousness, and integration into daily life.
Ceremonial Cacao
The session includes an optional ceremonial cacao. Ceremonial cacao, long revered in the Americas, increases blood flow to the brain, enhances receptivity, and opens the heart for emotional and energetic transformation.

Living Reciprocity
Proceeds from this workshop go toward the Non-profit initiatives of Paititi Institute and the Yahua Ancestral School initiative in the Peruvian Amazon, supporting children and elders in preserving their culture and wisdom traditions. This initiative, seeded through my book Beyond Ayahuasca (Hay House 2025), will extend to other tribes of the rainforest as part of a larger movement for Indigenous empowerment and cultural continuity.
