On Sunday, September 29th, at 5 PM, we’ll gather for an intimate evening of profound exploration and transformation in a uniquely crafted workshop, incorporating the therapeutic practices of Breathwork, Aquatic Rebirthing (an introduction to Watsu & Aquatic Healingwork), and Sound Healing.
Join us for this transformative journey, starting with a live, specially curated DJ-led Breathwork session that integrates the powerful practices of Holotropic Breathwork, Quantum Light Breath, Pranayama, and Rebirthing. Using a gentle yet potent hypnotic circular breathing technique, we will guide you in activating your system and breaking through past limitations, often imposed by unconscious, repressed beliefs and emotions that may be holding you back from realizing your true potential. Together, we’ll use our voices to awaken our inner dragons, moving from repression to radical expression. This practice is designed to peel away layers of body memory and armor stored from emotional repression, awakening your senses, increasing emotional intelligence, and rejuvenating your spirit.
As the evening unfolds, we will gently transition into the soothing and healing waters of Watsu & Aquatic Healingwork, where the fluidity of the warm water will invite you to journey deep within. In this nurturing embrace, you’ll experience a rebirthing process that calms and revitalizes your entire being, allowing you to release old constraints and awaken to your true, unbounded self. This deeply restorative experience will align you with your soul and higher purpose, offering profound healing as you rise from the depths of your being to new heights of consciousness.
The evening will culminate in a blissful Crystal Sound Bath, allowing you to soak in the vibrational harmony and integrate the day’s profound experiences. Warm group snuggles will follow, providing a gentle space to fully land and embody your transformation.
Music is the heartbeat of our gatherings, and in this Rebirthing Immersion, we’ll envelop you in the sonic bliss of carefully curated Djed sounds, creating a cradle of vibrational harmony that will support and enhance your Awakening journey.
Come prepared to break free, deeply heal, and rediscover your unburdened light within.
Breath is essential to life, not only to be able to sustain our physical bodies but it can also be used intentionally as an emotional cleansing tool and as a spiritual gateway into expanded states of consciousness.
The word ‘breath’ and ‘spirit’ share the same origin in many languages. Breath-centered practices and meditations can be found in many ancient cultures and religions including Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Christianity, Yoga, Qigong, Shamanism, Sufism, martial arts, etc. Many of these cultures and religions used breathing techniques for similar reasons as modern breathwork – to alter consciousness for spiritual purposes, self-discovery, and healing.
Transformational cathartic Breathwork is a therapeutic practice that harnesses the power of conscious breathing techniques to enhance physical, mental, and emotional well-being. By intentionally altering the breath, therapeutic cathartic breathwork sessions can help reduce stress, increase energy levels, improve mental clarity, and promote emotional release. It also strengthens the connection between mind and body, fostering greater self-awareness and emotional balance.
One of the most impactful forms of breathwork is Holotropic Breathwork, a powerful and transformative practice developed by psychiatrist Dr. Stanislav Grof and his wife, Christina Grof, in the 1970s. It is designed to facilitate deep self-exploration and healing by inducing altered states of consciousness through controlled breathing. The name “Holotropic” comes from the Greek words “holos” (meaning “whole”) and “trepein” (meaning “to move toward”), indicating a process aimed at moving toward wholeness.
This profound practice can facilitate transformational healing by unlocking repressed emotions, allowing for deep personal insights, and promoting overall psychological and spiritual growth.
Learn more about Breathwork Therapy:
They create a profound, regenerative and healing experience based on the relaxation of our nervous system, resetting the sympathetic (responsible for the fight & flight response) and stimulating the parasympathetic (which enables healing & nourishing). They enable an environment of trust and love which allows us to experience the feeling of total relaxation, liberation (Nirvana) and Bliss.
In this group session, after energizing our beings through Breathwork, we’ll explore being floated weightless in a heated pool (at body temperature water) with the instructions and supervision of a trained Aquatic Therapist, with the intention of achieving profound levels of relaxation in the person receiving it. We’ll divide our group into couples where the receiver is continuously supported while being back-floated, rhythmically cradled, moved, stretched and massaged if needed.

Emotions are sometimes difficult to bear and one way of coping with them is by overeating.
We recommended to be mindful and to avoid eating heavy meals or consuming alcohol a day before your breathwork session, as these can affect your session and may make it more difficult to achieve the desired state of consciousness.
It's best to have a light meal or snack a few hours (at least 3 hrs) before the session, nothing after, except for staying well-hydrated by drinking water.
We also recommend staying away from sugars a processed foods during the day as they can increase your blood sugar, make you sluggish and then having you crash. You'll need energy during your breathwork session and although we in general suggest staying away from caffeine, green tea or matcha could be a good alternative if you feel you need a little extra energy.

"The best healing ever. Alejandro Medin is very professional with a lot of experience I trust him. He is also excellent with teenagers and adults. -Alex, you have amazing magic hands and connection, this is really healing for me and victoria. I totally love your healing. Thank you "~ Gabriela Echegaray
"THANK YOU for an awesome breath work and WATSU journey this evening. I will continue this meaningful journey with you in the coming weeks/months. Last night . . . had one of the best sleeps I ever had, and even dreamed, waking up once smiling (if not even a few giggles to myself). In a word: Fantastic! This practice found me at the precise moment in time. This was my very 1st immersion into this breathwork practice. I experienced a dedicated, rigorous, mature, and enlightened level of instruction, supervision, and hands-on adjustments from Alex. I had a most remarkable (and unexpected) shedding of tension in parts of my body that I wasn’t aware was there! Coupled with a cool groove to Alex’s curated rhythmic musical beats, I was assisted to work through my dis-ease and allow myself to shed and RELIEF myself. This was followed up with a completely unknown (to me) therapeutic practice, WATSU, which was the cherry on the cream on the sundae on my Sunday night! It broke the barrier of my micro-managerial control over myself, surrendering to the "Giver" in this meaningful body temperature outdoor pool practice. In a single statement, I was absolutely touched (and soothed) by this entire 4-hour exercise and process. I felt safe, protected, and even loved!"~Emanuel Sharp
