Your Portal Back to the Beginning
Long before you had words or concepts, your body was already writing the story of how you'd move through the world. In those first moments of gestation and birth, patterns were etched into your nervous system—ways of perceiving safety, connection, and belonging that still pulse through your life today.
The Sacred Practice of
Nūma Breathwork
Where ancient wisdom meets modern trauma science, and transformation becomes inevitable.
What We'll Explore Together
The Archaeology of You
Discover how your earliest moments—from conception through birth—became the invisible architecture of how you move through relationships, perceive safety, and experience belonging in the world.
Before Words, Beyond Stories
Journey into the pre-verbal landscape where transformation lives, accessing curious, non-ordinary states of consciousness and deeply nourishing co-regulatory human connections that bypass the mind and speak directly to your nervous system.
Perinatal Movement Medicine
Awaken and repair the developmental movement patterns that may have been disrupted in your earliest moments, reconnecting with your body's innate wisdom and flow.
Water as Womb
Immerse in the spa pools and ocean's healing waters to viscerally reawaken your birth journey and gently release lifetimes of stored stress and trauma.
Breath as Gateway
Harness the transformative power of Nūma Breathwork to navigate, process, and release the stored emotional energy and limiting beliefs adopted before you could speak. Consciously enter psychesomadelic states and evoke healing in mysterious ways.
Ancestral Threads and Future Seeds
Understand how healing your birth story ripples backward to your lineage and forward to generations yet to come, transforming not just your life but your family's, your community's, and the collective human story.
Is Respira Calling to You?
This retreat is for the seekers, the sensitives, and the souls who know there's something deeper waiting to be discovered.
You might be our perfect participant if:
- You seek magical adventures, a healthy dose of mystery, and gorgeous friends and nature to delight your creative mind and nourish your body, heart, and soul
- You've always felt like there's an invisible force shaping your relationships—a pattern you can sense but can't quite name
- You're drawn to healing work that honors your body's wisdom rather than just analyzing your thoughts
- You've done therapy, read the books, tried the practices—and while helpful, something still feels incomplete
- You're curious about your birth story and wonder how those first moments might still be influencing your life
- You crave authentic community and are exhausted by surface-level connections
- You feel called to water, to breath, to the wild places where transformation feels possible
You're ready for an experience that's deeply experiential, held in sacred community, rooted in somatic wisdom, and transformational at the cellular level.

Attending The Threshold Of Birth, Death, & Rebirth
Indeed, it is a lovely testimony to the fullness and integrity of an experience or a stage of life that it intensifies toward the end into a real frontier that cannot be crossed without the heart being passionately engaged and woken up.
At this threshold a great complexity of emotion comes alive: confusion, fear, excitement, sadness, hope.
This is one of the reasons such vital crossings were always clothed in ritual.
It is wise in your own life to be able to recognize and acknowledge the key thresholds; to take your time; to feel all the varieties of presence that accrue there; to listen inward with complete attention until you hear the inner voice calling you forward: The time has come to cross.”
- John O’Donohue
