Question 1

What is Breathwork?

Accepted Answer

Breathwork means consciously changing how you breathe (rate, depth, inhale–exhale ratio, nose/mouth) to shift how your body and mind feel—calmer, clearer, or more energized. As Andrew Huberman puts it, it’s using “specific breathing patterns to influence your brain-body state and positively shift mood, physical capacity and focus.” (Andrew Huberman)

Brief, structured breathing practices—especially exhale-emphasized ones—can improve mood and reduce stress when done correctly.

Question 2

Is the Elysium ceremony right for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We shape this container so you feel safe, welcomed, guided and cared for from the first minute.

New to breathwork? What an honour!  You’ll get clear, step-by-step guidance so you know exactly how to enter.  Already experienced? You’ll be able to build on what you know and advance your practice.

• Clear teaching. We demo the patterns, give a well structured intro, and coach your pace the whole way—so we are sure you enter the journey well prepared.

• Thoughtful method. A consciously designed blend of modern breathwork, Western psychology, and a touch of ritual work. Our signature practice is upright, concious connected diaphragmatic breathing (Tetra Breathwork®–inspired) with gentle hand/arm movements and easy intensity dials you control.

• Held space. Trained assistants; touch is consent-based; chairs/props available. A short Health screening during booking helps us tailor support.

• Your pace & integration. We trust your body’s wisdom—your 100% today may be different tomorrow. We offer regulation tools in the introduction so you control the intensity  (slowing, longer rests, grounding) and space to meet and process emotional events from the past with care and metacognitive awareness—so insights can integrate into daily life.

• Soft landing. We close after short sharing round and with live-music integration so your system truly settles and experience the parasympatetic switch to integrate well (rest, heal and digest state)

Question 3

What actually happens during the Elysium Ceremony?

Accepted Answer

What to Expect
🔹 Landing Ritual – Arrive, ground, and open with intention
🔹 Cacao Immersion – Awaken the heart and reconnect through cacao
🔹 Guided Breathwork – Integrate emotions, calm the nervous system, and find your balance
🔹 Live Music for Integration – Sound and rhythm to anchor your experience
🔹 Closing Circle – Reflect, share, and carry your clarity forward

You arrive, let the day roll off your shoulders, and wrap your hands around a warm cup of tea. We guide a gentle landing meditation and brief ritual to help you better arriving in your body, the room, and connect with the group.

We explain the method and and how to self-regulate (you can always slow, rest, or pause). After a short demo, we begin the guided upright breathwork—connected diaphragmatic breathing with easy hand/arm movements that help you feel the breath’s rhythm and through this unique technique go effortlessly deeper.

Along the way, we create space to meet and process unprocessed emotions with care and metacognitive awareness—so insights can integrate and life feels less blocked. We finish with short sharing circle, to better integrate this moment and  live-music

You walk out clearer, calmer, grounded. (Controlled/diaphragmatic breathing is a well-known way to down-shift stress.)

Question 4

What should I bring / how should I prepare?
