Breathwork for Retreats

For Retreat Hosts · Portugal & International

Bring breathwork into your retreat.

Looking for a breathwork facilitator for your retreat?

Guided breathwork experiences, designed around your retreat.

Based in Lisbon, I offer guided breathwork experiences for retreat hosts across Portugal and internationally — thoughtfully designed to complement the intention, rhythm and flow of your retreat.

Why Breathwork

Breathwork can create a powerful shift within a retreat experience — bringing participants out of their heads, into their bodies and more deeply into the present moment.

Depending on the technique and intention, breathwork can support nervous system regulation, greater body awareness, emotional processing and a deeper sense of presence and connection.

Within a retreat, breathwork can serve different purposes: helping a group arrive and connect, creating space for a deeper emotional or embodied experience, or supporting integration at another point in the retreat journey.

Each session is shaped around your group, your theme and where the breathwork sits within the overall experience.

Who I Am

I’m Steffi Haxel, founder of Blooming Souls and a certified Holosomatic® Breathwork facilitator, coach and psychological counsellor based in Lisbon.

I facilitate breathwork experiences for groups, retreats and organisations and collaborate with retreat hosts as a guest facilitator.

My approach combines conscious breathing, body awareness, music and guided facilitation to create experiences that meet the intention of the group and the wider retreat journey.

Breathwork, Woven Into Your Retreat

What's Possible

Breathwork can be integrated into your retreat in different ways:

  • A single breathwork experience within your retreat
  • A deeper Holosomatic® Breathwork journey
  • Shorter practices for grounding, connection or integration
  • A recurring breathwork practice across several days
  • Sessions created around the theme and intention of your retreat

The format can be adapted to your group, schedule, setting and level of previous breathwork experience.

What Hosts Can Expect

  • A breathwork session designed around your retreat, its intention and your group
  • Clear communication and preparation before the retreat
  • Fully guided facilitation with attention to the individual experience of participants
  • Flexible formats — from one session to a multi-day breathwork arc
  • Lisbon-based facilitation with availability across Portugal and internationally
