About this Event

🎄 Golly Geez, It’s Christmas!

A Christmas-themed Breathwork with Wim Hof Method Instructor and Artist, John Whitaker

Calling all breathwork lovers! Step into a whimsical winter wonderland and breathe in the magic of the season at “Golly Geez, It’s Christmas” —an experiential art breath work, where powerful taiko drumming contrasts with ethereal holiday carols.

Set in a charming, old-fashioned Christmas setting, this one-of-a-kind event blends breathwork, movement, sound healing, and live music to awaken your senses and elevate your spirit.
