What is ShamanicSOUL Breathwork?
ShamanicSOUL Breathwork is a powerful breathwork modality. It acts as a quick way to get out of our mind’s way and drop into the body where we can return into reconnection with our inner self.
You will transport yourself by the vehicle of your breath (healing medicine) into an altered state of consciousness. There, you can access and reconcile memories requiring further understanding, release trapped emotions and awaken your imaginal cells and future selves.
This style of breathwork uses a connected, circular breathing technique in conjunction with chakra-attuned music. You will be guided into the centre of you, where your truth is accessible and remembered. Self-understanding is born from a commitment to the process of self-discovery and awareness, which unlocks empowerment.
When we know ourselves, our triggers and our limits, we are more empowered to learn how to integrate and move through any blocks to create new relationships and structures that support us to make more conscious, healthy choices in support our wellbeing and growth.
What to expect:
During the ShamanicSOUL Breathwork process, expect nothing & accept everything. At the start of the immersion, you will be taught a variety of Shamanic release tools to help you express during the process.
This highly experiential process unlocks insights & wisdom that may illuminate areas where further integration is required, or ignite healing from the felt experience of the journey. It is possible to experience the full range of humanness within a journey. This sacred container allows permission to surrender and express your emotions fully as they arise, supporting your ‘journey’ to unfold as it is meant to for your self-illumination and integration.
If you have attended Frankie's SBW classes at Centre of You, this immersion is an extension with a more comprehensive integrative component and the addition of learning more about the power of ceremony. You will have space held for you in a 1-1 container and you will also hold space for another being. Holding space for another's journey can be just as powerful an experience, if not more, than 'journeying' yourself.
Is this modality for me?
ShamanicSOUL Breathwork can bring up strong physical and emotional experiences. If you're unsure whether this container is right for you, reach out to grace@centreofyou.com.au and together we can discuss anything that exists for you that could affect your ability to safely engage in the workshop.

What others are saying:
"I attended Frankie’s 2021 Breathwork Immersion & found it to be such a strong foundation for building a strong breathwork practice. The benefits of gaining clarity on my path were massive as well as turning any blocked emotions. Highly recommend this training with this wonderful facilitator." PATTY McDONALD
"Frankies 2021 Breathwork workshop was exactly what I needed. I decided to participate after many guided breathwork journey’s because I wanted to go deeper in my understanding & learn new tools to support me & my clients. I recommend this workshop to new & experienced breathwork people. It will open your breath awareness, release stuck energies & past trauma stored in the body & subconscious mind. I thank you Frankie for humbly sharing your knowledge with humour and the shamanic way to conduct your teaching. I appreciate it deeply." SIMONE
“I had only done the shamanic breath work a couple of times before and wanted to do more so I joined the Immersion with Frankie last year. I felt way more relaxed and surrendered to the process having the longer time and space together to explore the breathwork deeper. The drums and music played was great. My mind was able to shut down more easily and take me on a journey within throughout the immersion whereas I hadn’t reached that place prior. I would highly recommend doing the immersion to reset your state of mind and connect with you”. ROMY

Important Note:
ShamanicSOUL Breathwork requires a commitment to a cyclical breathing pattern and has the potential to bring about intense feelings which may result in strong physical and/or emotional release. This practice involves the voluntary hyper-oxygenation of your bloodstream, paving the way for reaching an altered state of consciousness where you may experience possibilities that are not grounded in this reality - you can control the intensity of the experience by adjusting your breathing pattern. You are always in control.
Trigger/activation warning:
This practice encourages the authentic and uninhibited expression of all that arises in real-time. This could appear as screaming, crying, laughter or other forms of vocal sounding. While this modality invites you to remain within your own process and interpret visceral reactions to other people's authentic expressions as data to become curious about, if you feel this may be too strong an experience for you then a private session with Frankie may be more suitable.
Things to note:
Preparation: Centre of You has plenty of bolsters, blankets, and cushions for you to get cosy with though feel free to bring any personal items that may afford you a sense of greater comfort and familiarity such as crystals, a teddy, your own water bottle. etc. Bringing a journal and blindfold is highly recommended. You will be invited to sit and lay on the floor so loose clothing that enables easeful, light movement and deep breathing will be most supportive. We recommend a light breakfast as this process is best undertaken on a relatively empty stomach. Fresh fruit will be provided throughout the day.
