Nūma Breathwork Level 1:
Gateway to Transformation
A 15-Hour Online Immersion
Entering into the Art & Science of Breathwork
Level 1: Gateway to Transformation is a richly experiential 15-hour online immersion designed for curious explorers who are considering weaving the transformative power of conscious, connected breathwork into the gifts they walk with in this world, in support of others in their communities. It will also provide people new to Nūma Breathwork with an opportunity to experience how this work is held and conveyed through our school and its trainers. This is your invitation to step through the threshold and discover what becomes possible when we dare to collaborate with breath as our bridge between the ordinary and the extraordinary, the known and the unknowable.
Over three transformational days (Friday through Sunday, 5 hours each day), you'll dive into the foundational elements of Nūma Breathwork not through your thinking mind, but through direct, unmediated encounter—the kind of knowing that lives in bone and sinew rather than concept and conclusion.
What Makes This Immersion Unique
This is not a passive learning experience or a hierarchical download of information that someone else thinks you need to know in order to be doing this human experience right. Level 1 is predominantly experiential and wisely collaborative—you'll spend the majority of your time calling forth clarity and insight from inside out, actually doing the embodied practices, receiving the mysterious shake downs and vulnerable opening ups of breathwork, engaging in curious dyadic contemplations, and discovering at a pace that is coherent with your inspired curiosity.
The teachings woven throughout serve to illuminate what you're experiencing, offering just enough conceptual scaffolding to support your journey without smothering the direct encounter with analysis. Because some truths cannot be taught—they can only be realized in the living moment.
What You'll Explore
Three Deeply Exploratory Breathwork Journeys
The heart of this immersion: three full breathwork sessions that aren't gentle relaxation exercises but profound dives into non-ordinary states of consciousness. These are breath-inspired revolutions within yourself and the relational field. Sometimes deeply somatic, sometimes tenderly emotional, sometimes empathogenic or psychedelic—wild, mysterious, sometimes unsettling, often revelatory journeys where breath becomes the vessel carrying you beyond the familiar territories of everyday awareness into the multiverse that lives within and between.
Each journey is facilitated by experienced Nūma trainers who understand that their role is not to direct your experience, but to hold the container steady with an open wonder while you venture into your own depths. What you encounter there—trauma needing renegotiation, relieving states of connection, perinatal memories yearning for a rebirth, transpersonal mind expansions, or something entirely your own—is yours to discover.
The Living Practice of Discovery
This immersion is predominantly experiential—you'll spend the majority of your time doing rather than listening to lectures about doing:
- Richly exploratory dyadic contemplations where you practice speaking what's true even when your voice trembles, and listening without the urge to fix, advise, or respond
- Foundational resourcing practices to locate deeper states of coherence in your body and mind, supporting you to metabolize the unfinished business you've been unwittingly carrying around and navigate the ongoing stresses of life more gracefully
- Grounding and integration practices so the insights and releases don't just evaporate when you return to ordinary life
- Opening and closing circles that weave the ceremonial container—the particular alchemy that transforms strangers into a compassionate and wise community
Essential Frameworks for Navigation
Just enough teaching to illuminate without overwhelming:
- Common elements and approaches across various breathwork lineages and traditions
- Brief history of how this ancient practice was rediscovered and evolved in modern times
- Transpersonal psychology frameworks that serve as maps for territories you may encounter (biographical, perinatal, transpersonal)—not the landscape itself, but useful guides for navigating what might otherwise feel incomprehensible
- Fundamental breathing approaches for self-regulation and nervous system support—breath as both key to unlocking profound states AND bringing you safely home
The Three Pillars of Transformational Space
Understanding what makes healing spaces truly transformational (as opposed to merely pleasant or temporarily soothing):
- Fostering healing relationships grounded in respect, curiosity, and attunement
- Activation of non-ordinary states of consciousness—and how to navigate them without grasping for meaning or fleeing from intensity or the unknown
- Conscious, intelligent experimentation—the art of leaning into uncertainty as creative force
Who Is This Immersion For?
This Level 1 Gateway Immersion is designed for:
✨ The Curious Explorer – You've heard whispers about breathwork, felt some unnamed magnetism toward it, and you want to experience it for yourself in a generously held, intentional container before diving into the deep end. No prior experience required
✨ Future Facilitators Testing the Waters – You're considering weaving the transformative power of breathwork into the gifts you walk with in this world, in support of others in your community. You're wise enough to want direct experience with both the work itself and how Nūma holds and conveys it before making the full commitment to Levels 2-5. Consider this your reconnaissance mission
✨ Those Seeking Personal Healing – You're hungry for your own transformational process but not yet ready to commit to the extensive training required to hold space for others. You want to be the breather, not (yet) the facilitator
✨ Helping Professionals Exploring New Modalities – You're a therapist, counselor, coach, yoga teacher, or healing practitioner with a hunch that breathwork might be a missing piece in your work with clients—but you want to experience it from the inside before you attempt to offer it
✨ Anyone Craving Authentic Connection – You're weary of surface-level interactions and hungry for a community of like-hearted humans where vulnerability isn't just tolerated but celebrated, where authenticity is the currency, and where embodied expression matters more than polished performance
✨ Breathwork Lovers – You've experienced the richness of breathwork, you know what it is capable of, and you understand that there really isn't an advanced level—just a humble surfing of the mystery that is Life breathing Itself. You love sharing this with other curious and vulnerable humans

A Gateway, Not a Destination
This Level 1 immersion is designed as a portal into what becomes possible when we work with breath as a bridge between science and the sacred, between the life we're living and the life that wants to live us.
Whether you complete this immersion and return to your regular life bearing new tools and insights, or whether it becomes the first step in your journey toward facilitator certification (Levels 2-5) with Nūma, you'll leave with the direct, embodied experience of breathwork's transformational potential. Not theory about it. Not concepts surrounding it. The thing itself.
For those called to continue: Level 1 Gateway Immersion graduates are welcome to register for the comprehensive Nūma Breathwork Facilitator Certification Program (Levels 2-5). Together, all five levels create a complete 300+ hour training pathway.
