My mission is the commitment to an activist approach to wellness, where breathwork is a tool for personal and societal empowerment, fostering well-being and equity. The current colonial frameworks in wellness depend on our discontent and our disempowerment, to actively disrupt wellness means to empower people in their own liberations.

Inspire Breathwork aims to steward the next generation of breathworkers, actively seeking to bring breathwork out of the wellness industry and infiltrate into to the public domain and key institutions that are often neglected: schools, prisons, corporations, hospitals, etc.

There are 2 key aspects to this approach:

• The first is the need to empower individuals to reconnect, rekindle and remember their inherent power within their own bodies, to cultivate belonging, safety and dignity in their own healing processes as a process of reclamation - reclamation of strength, of agency, of trust, of breath and of the earth beneath them.

• The second stands to represent the lens that is needed to bring change, a lens that is able discern the ways our society has developed to oppress, to belittle and to delude us away from our sovereignty. The reclamation of our own bodies and the lens that allows us to see the systems in play, allow us to be active changemakers within society and within the wellness industry.

The awareness of colonialism in wellness and the world, gives us opportunity to heal from the wounds of our modern context. This allows a chance to actively attend what it might mean to birth a new world. If we empower people to become free, liberated from the confines of colonialism and capitalism, we may find solutions to some of our biggest problems.
