Level 1 — The Self-Healing Path
with Robin Clements & Patrick Merle Sellin
Lago Atitlán, Guatemala · Casa Floresta · October 26 – November 1, 2026
About Level 1
Breathwave Level 1 provides the foundation for this form of conscious connected breathing, with a focus on personal healing. This seven-day breath journey is designed for anyone to ground down into the body temple, breathe, and open your wings by establishing the practical means of a self-healing practice.
Level 1 is a ceremonial dance of the Five Elements through morning yoga, two daily breath sessions, group council, sound healing, meditation, life visioning, developing goals and intentions, complementary breath techniques, and tools for integration. Your life is changed forever — this week is to give back to you.
Together we will enjoy two breath sessions daily, share in council, daily movement, rest, and fresh nourishment for the purpose of healing, embodiment, world service, and balance.
The only prerequisite for this retreat is to establish a clear intention and honestly communicate where you are at with the Application form. Level 1 is also a requirement for the Breathwave Levels 2 and 3 Facilitator's Trainings.
