Level 1 : 300-Hour Nūma Breathwork Facilitator Training

CALGARY, AB

June 6-10, 2025

Level 1: The Fundamentals  
A Somatic Psychotherapeutic, Trauma-Informed Approach to Sacred Work  
5 Days, 75 hours (40 hours in-person)

Training Schedule: 9am to 6pm, daily (unless otherwise stated in training logistics emails)

Your Level 1 training is both a living conversation and a transformational journey for self and in support of others. As a group, we collectively source knowledge, experience, and wisdom as we creatively colour between the lines of academic learnings. Our primary focus at this stage will be on developing and sustaining a healthy, effective therapeutic relationship within which breathwork may be safely delivered. From this life and relationship honouring foundation, we will grow our capacity to recognize and support shifts into deeply healing non-ordinary states of consciousness and learn how to curiously explore together in the spirit of healing and learning with diversely unique individuals. To foster safety and stability within the wild and magical possibilities that may arise in breathwork experiences, we will share a selection of resources that can be implemented in support of your client’s optimal self-regulation. This increasing capacity to effectively self-regulate will become a boon for your clients whether it is within their day to day lives or while they are participating in these powerful processes.

Within this first level of training, you will both receive and provide numerous breathwork sessions with fellow students as you develop the practical sets required to safely facilitate transformational one-on-one breathwork sessions.

In this training, you will learn: 

  • essential history, philosophy, and theory for conscious, connected breathwork practices
  • primary and optional components of conscious, connected breathwork and Nūma Breathwork
  • foundational principles and psychotherapeutic theories and practices that are key to safe and effective breathwork facilitation
  • to foster a confidential, loving healing space anchored in loving presence
  • to shed light on, foster, and honor the belonging, needs, agency, and autonomy of your clients
  • to cultivate a respectful, curiosity-based therapeutic relationship
  • to establish flexible rapport and empathic attunement with clients
  • about different non-ordinary states of consciousness and thresholds between states and their importance in healing, insight, and transformation
  • about the effective and creative use of intentions, invocations, and the setting of sacred space/confidentiality
  • about the use of evocative music and other important breathwork session tools
  • essential post-breathwork session grounding and integrating practices
  • how to make sensitive contact verbally, energetically, and physically
  • ways to listen and communicate effectively for therapeutic purposes, including:
    • attuned tracking of the in-the-moment experience of your client, yourself as facilitator, and the therapeutic relationship
    • clear instructions and session guidance
    • therapeutic affirmations
    • client self-reporting and basic inquiry practices

  • a wide variety of tools and practices to support deep investigations and releases within the body and breath, including:

    • contact statements, acknowledgements, and deepening questions
    • affirmations and nourishing prompts
    • approaches to compassionately supporting parts of the client that are actively managing and protecting
    • essential, client-informed bodywork and basic palpation skills
    • use of simple movement exercises, body repositioning, and vocal toning
    • optimal pacing and helpful stacking of techniques and approaches

  • the stages and aspects of an optimal therapeutic process

  • how to recognize and work within the Window of Tolerance

  • about common session experiences (eg. tetany) and how to interpret and respond to them flexibly and effectively

  • to work with the therapeutic relationship and resources to support clients in re-establishing healthy self-regulation

  • to support the client in recognizing existing resources and locating new ones

  • to guide clients through self-regulation exercises

  • about effective use of intake and consent forms and layers of in-person consent
