After decades of anxiety and panic, I was worried before going into my first ever breathwork that I would start panicking… I now feel like I walk in there ready for the experience and wherever it takes me.

I just feel enveloped in the beautiful vibe… and the attentive care of both Kylie and Phillipe. It's a not just a breathwork [session], it's a ritual experience.

~ Jill

Thank you Kylie & Phillipe for giving me this experience. It actually felt cosmic! The connections that I discovered seemed so much deeper than anything I have ever experienced.

It went underneath all of my misgivings, all my hang ups and straight to a soul deep place I was actually starting to think didn’t exist for me. I felt caught, held, safe & loved.

~ Mel

Ritual, Creativity & Reflection

EXHALE RETREAT also creates space for deeper personal reflection and expression through:

  • Ritual & relaxation around the fire
  • Guided writing processes
  • Art as therapeutic play

There is immense value in stepping away from constant stimulation and giving yourself permission to simply be.
