About this Event
🌌 Ring in the New Year with Breath Odyssey 2026
An Experiential Art Breathwork Journey Exploring Inner & Outer Worlds, and the Human Connection
with Wim Hof Method Instructor & Artist, John Whitaker
Calling all breathwork travelers and creative explorers.
Step beyond the familiar and into Breath Odyssey 2026—an immersive experiential art breathwork event where sound, contact, and breath become a vessel for discovery, connection, and collective presence.
This one-of-a-kind experience weaves breathwork, live music, ritual, and playful performance, inviting you to wander the frontier between inner and outer worlds—and stumble upon unexpected magic along the way.
Indigenous instruments—taiko drums, native flutes, chimes, bowls, and resonant textures and sound bites—merge to enhance an already powerful Wim Hof Method breath work. Crafted and performed live by seasoned musicians and drummers, the evolving soundscape supports a deep, embodied breath journey that is both personal and communal.

- A moment of performance and playful spectacle, offered simply for delight and sheer entertainment
