That formative experience sparked a lifelong connection to circle work, which he later deepened by returning as a mentor. A multi-instrumental musician, poet, and pranayama (breathwork) facilitator, Andre also brings his passion for ecstatic dance, philosophy, and authentic connection into his offerings. He is deeply inspired by the question of what it means to be human, how we can more fully experience our aliveness, our depth, and reconnecting with the beauty of life together. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/4fb143e0-9d5e-11f1-80bb-ebfa6612c095-rimg-w750-h740-dc382828-gmir.jpg Meet Sri Jiva, your host:Since childhood, Sri Jiva has been fascinated by meaning, purpose, and authentic life fulfilment. This, among other things, led him to join a monastery at the age of 19. After years of monastic training, he chose to marry and pursue a career. He felt called to use his monastic experience to help others understand themselves, and to find wisdom, meaning, and purpose in their own lives. Inspired by this calling, he went to university to study counselling. Now, Sri Jiva and his wife live near Wellington, where he works with a small team of counsellors, supporting clients individually and in groups. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/500d1f80-9d5e-11f1-80bb-ebfa6612c095-rimg-w1200-h674-dcd8a888-gmir.jpg Agenda🕑: 05:45 PM - 06:00 PMArrive to Bhakti Lounge🕑: 06:00 PM - 07:00 PMMen's Circle & BreathworkHost: Andre🕑: 07:00 PM - 08:15 PMOptional Plant-based dinner and dessert! - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/wellington/mens-circle-and-breathwork/100001996316025973 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Art, Entertainment, Music, Workshops, health-wellness, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours 45 minutes - Location: Bhakti Lounge Wellington - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 21.32, currency: NZD ## Event venue details - **city**: Wellington - **state**: WG - **country**: New Zealand - **location**: Bhakti Lounge Wellington - **lat**: -41.2945501 - **long**: 174.7737726 - **full address**: Bhakti Lounge Wellington, 175 Vivian Street, Wellington, New Zealand ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Men's Circle & Breathwork - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/9fdd6f6f5c31b8f16a285ffe32acc88efafe2ff5d1bda7848b311006754de921-rimg-w1200-h600-dc188858-gmir.jpg?v=1786254966 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Men's Circle & Breathwork being held? - **A:** Men's Circle & Breathwork takes place on Thu, 03 Sep, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Thu, 03 Sep, 2026 at 08:45 pm at Bhakti Lounge Wellington, 175 Vivian Street, Wellington, New Zealand. - **Q**: Who is organizing Men's Circle & Breathwork? - **A:** Men's Circle & Breathwork is organized by Bhakti Lounge Wellington. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at Bhakti Lounge Wellington's events? - **A:** Attendees have given Bhakti Lounge Wellington a rating of 5/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
