The Breathwave: Encinitas
Join us for a weekend of breathwork, surfing, and human connection at a private beachhouse in our hometown of Encinitas, CA, from May 1 – 4, 2025.
Connection
noun ~ con·nec·tion | \ kə-ˈnek-shən \
the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; the upleveled electric current that is tangible when within like-minded community.
In recent years, our ability to connect has shifted. The very thing that unites us—our breath—was once seen as a risk, leaving a lasting impact on our social nervous systems and sense of togetherness.
Now, the calling to reconnect is stronger than ever. As a Collective, we are devoted to building and deepening our bonds through breath, nature, and meaningful human interaction.
That’s why we are beyond excited to invite you to a weekend retreat in our hometown of Encinitas, California, where we’ll breathe, move, and immerse ourselves in the healing energy of the Pacific Ocean.
The Weekend
May 1-4, 2025
This gathering is an opportunity to come together with like-minded souls and rediscover what it means to feel truly alive. Through a thoughtfully curated program of breathwork, ocean engagement, meditation, and embodied practices, we will reset, elevate, and expand—surrounded by the natural beauty of the quaint spiritual town of Encinitas.
What To Expect
To realize our limitless potential, we must each take the time to pause, connect, and find congruence as we build up our knowledge and self-love.
🌊 Transformative and dynamic breath & movement sessions to regulate, release, and restore
👁️ Dialogue and interactive experiential processes to access and amplify connectivity to self and sangha
🌿 Deep connection with nature through the rhythm of the ocean
🤍 A welcoming space to meet, eat, share, breathe, and grow alongside like-minded, warmhearted friends
This retreat is open to all levels and abilities.
Please note: Rooms are very limited—book now to reserve your spot.
