The Exhale Gathering: Roots and Branches Breathwork Retreat

About This Retreat

Every breath carries a story - The story of who we are, what we carry, and what we are slowly learning to set down.

The Exhale Gathering weaves conscious breathwork, Celtic wisdom, the ancient art of story and birdsong into a day of tending and soft rest.

Held in the beautiful surroundings of Hawkills near York in North Yorkshire, this is for you if you are a Breathwork Practitioner or simply curious about the breath, especially if you're looking for a gentler, more sustainable way. It's for you if you are a busy teacher, if you're in business, or if you've spent years tending others and quietly lost the thread back to yourself.

Go mall agat féin - gently, at your own pace.

The Theme: Story

This gathering is held around the living tradition of story - how we tell our own story through breath, how story shapes the spaces we hold for others, and how our life blossoms when we are rooted in something true.

Tending (Sunday 7th June ) Open to all

A full day of breathwork, rest, and gentle tending - where your own story is honoured without needing to be fixed or changed. Steeped in ancient Celtic wisdom, these days are designed to be spacious, not packed. You won't be rushed through material or pushed toward some version of yourself you haven't met yet. You'll be welcomed, tended, and given genuine room to breathe.

Your story has been with you all along. We're simply creating a little space for it to be heard.
