About GIC 

Since 1994 the Global Inspiration Conference (GIC), under the auspices of the International Breathwork Foundation, has been hosted in over 20 countries.

The GIC is a unique opportunity to breathe within our international Breathwork community. We teach, learn and receive inspiration from like-minded friends and colleagues. Breathwork practitioners, lovers of the breath and interested individuals are welcome to join and contribute to this unique celebration of the breath and breathwork.

Over the course of the 7-days of the GIC, you can participate in morning and afternoon workshops, attend key-note sessions, join art, movement and professional talks as well as evening singing, dancing and entertainment. It is a truly unique event, filled with wonderful opportunities, activities, fun, social interaction, expansion, collaboration in common Breathwork goals, and rest in nature.

The GIC program has a core structure and allows for the organic creation of each day’s workshop agenda. Part of the program is fixed in advance, while the rest is open and co-created by participants on a daily basis during the conference. Conference attendees are invited to offer morning and afternoon workshops.

The open program includes presentations, workshops, discussion topics and other activities related to breathwork, embodiment and/or the conference theme.

All of these activities are offered in a spirit of peer-group exchange and inspiration. GIC also hosts the IBF Annual General Meeting, which has evolved into a unique democratic, horizontal leadership process for decision-making. Members have been inspired by this to apply in their own organizations to great positive effect.
