Remnants of empire still live in our bones and values of colonialism flow through our veins.
Breathing Beyond Empire is a 6-week breathwork course that gently explores how these inherited patterns shape how we move through the world.
We explore how they show up in your relationships, your decisions, your sense of safety, and self-worth.
This 6-week journey invites you into a spacious, embodied exploration of decolonial healing through the lens of breath, awareness, and remembrance.
We will meet supremacy culture gently but honestly. We will listen to what your body carries, what it’s ready to shed, and what needs to be remembered.
This is not a quick fix. It’s not a bypass. This is a space to unlearn, to breathe, to feel, to reclaim.
This program is not about learning to be “good” or “right.” It is about becoming more human, more whole, and more rooted in your truth.
This journey is open to all who are ready to explore decolonial healing with curiosity, humility, and care.
You do not need to have any breathwork experience — only a willingness to listen deeply and stay with what arises.

Course Structure:
Week 1: Safety & Inner Strength
We begin by exploring safety. In a world where "safety" is often shaped by the dominant culture through control and competition, we ask: what does true safety feel like in your body?
This week is about addressing our sense of safety and crafting your own sacred container; a space where your truth, boundaries, and needs are honoured.
Week 2: Decolonial Directions
This week, we turn to the wisdom of our inner directions, as ancestral maps for grounding, guidance, and balance live within you.
You are not meant to follow the maps of others. This session will bring you into your own direction, one that aligns with your unique rhythm, vision, and purpose.
Week 3: Characteristics of Supremacy Culture: Exploring Individualism
Supremacy culture teaches us to go it alone. It glorifies self-reliance while disconnecting us from community, reciprocity, and collective care. This week, we unpack the internalised patterns of individualism and begin to reweave ourselves into the web of relationship. Through breath, we soften the isolation and make space for interdependence.
Week 4: Characteristics of Supremacy Culture: Exploring Urgency
Urgency is one of supremacy’s favourite tools - keeping us busy, burned out, and disconnected from our own rhythms. This week invites you to slow all the way down. We breathe into the discomfort of pausing, and we remember the wisdom that arises when we honour time as cyclical, spacious, and sacred.
Week 5: Characteristics of Supremacy Culture: Exploring Fear of Conflict
This week, we explore how supremacy culture teaches us to fear or avoid conflict, and how this fear blocks truth, intimacy, and transformation.
We invite the possibility that conflict, when held with care, can be generative, honest, and deeply healing. Breathwork becomes a space to feel what's unsaid and reclaim our voice.
Week 6: Circle: Who’s knocking? What needs to be remembered for you?
We return to the circle. After all we’ve met and unlearned, we ask: what is asking to be remembered? What parts of you are knocking, waiting to be welcomed back home? This is a week of integration, honouring, and listening. You are invited to step into the wisdom you’ve uncovered and carry it forward in your own way.
About me.
My name is Hannah Kendaru (she/her), I am an Indonesian British Breathwork therapist and teacher. My work is rooted in breath as both a personal and ancestral practice—one that connects us to ourselves, to our histories, and to the ever-moving present.
But introductions are more than names and titles, let me introduce myself in the fullest of ways.
I am the daughter of volcanoes and rivers, of palm trees and potatoes, of roses and lilies. I come from a lineage of healers, seers, voyagers, of farmers and fishermen.
I am also the daughter of militants and military men, of divorce and deep love, of exploitation and capitalism, of empire and resistance. I carry the stories of both those who have taken and those who have lost.
But I am also the daughter of butterflies and hummingbirds, of woodpeckers, of the rain and the sun.
I carry these histories, as do you. And in breath, we meet them, honour them, and find our way forward.

Why Breathwork?
✅ Breathwork is An Embodied Practice – breathwork invokes a physiological response with immediate effects, unlike meditation.
✅ Body-Centred Awareness – As products of a world that prioritises logic and intellect, we are susceptible to deeply ingrained thinking patterns created by our old selves.
✅ Breathwork bypasses overthinking, honouring the wisdom of the body and helping release patterns held deep within.
✅ Expansive Visualisations – Through guided breathwork, you can enter altered states of consciousness. The practice encourages a shift in awareness, allowing for new perspectives to emerge.

Why Breathing beyond Empire?
Empire shapes how we live, relate to other and how we move through the world.
There’s a movement that is shifting from individual healing to collective healing, and this course shines a light into how things could be.
The wellness industry reflects the same extractive patterns of empire. When healing practices are stolen from other cultures and stripped of their context, they become exclusive and shut out the very people who need them most. By price and by not addressing the context of their rituals.
This is a place that celebrates your longing to connect with the earth and with your histories.
This is a place that celebrates your longing to remember your cultures. You may be the first generation with the space to look beyond the generations who had to assimilate to survive.
We take a step back to observe our inherited values that the culture of empire imprinted on us. We turn inward with integrity.
✅ A Six-Week Journey – A guided process that allows time for exploration, reflection, and integration.
✅ Group Breathwork – A structured space to engage in breathwork and shared experience.
✅ Fully Online – Accessible from anywhere, with live sessions and recorded materials for flexibility.
Breathing Beyond Empire is a 6-week journey of embodied unlearning. Through weekly live breathwork sessions and a daily practice, you’ll explore how the remnants of empire live in your bones and make conscious choices about what you want with you, and what you can release.
It is a gentle introduction to decolonial healing, where you will learn tools to reconnect with the earth and reclaim your own lineage.
Rooted in decolonial ethics and trauma-informed practice.
This program is delivered as workshops and breathwork sessions, practical exercises, and 1-to-1 peer support. This is delivered by Hannah Kendaru, a certified breathwork trainer.
