Coherence, the path to a peaceful heart
Coherence, the path to a peaceful heart
we will experience how to find the peaceful heart inside with our breath
when there is coherence between the heart and mind anything is possible
the path of integration and embracing our peaceful heart, is one fueled by our intentional breathing. living in coherence is the result.
Coherence is the frequency that attracts our desired good
and when we are coherent, effort and struggle can be eliminated and we can receive what we want on every level.

Her healing journey led her to develop Transformational Breath®, a technique that has molded modern breathwork and helped millions worldwide since 1977.

She created the Metaphysical Manifestation Program, which trains people on how to achieve their goals, and has led Course in Miracles groups, breathing programs for children and has worked extensively with womens’ empowerment.

Judi’s has a great love for her family; she is a nurturing mother to eight and grandmother of twelve. In her own words, Transformational Breath is like another child; although it came through her, it is not only for her.

Namaste from Mother India!
Spiritually our breath connects us with Birth and Death, with magical and mystical. It is the great mystery of life and one of my greatest teacher.
Over last 40 years I have used my breathing techniques in meditation, dance, healing body work, life awareness. I am happy to share with you Sudarshan Kriya — a very powerful Indian breathing technique which I use since 2001.
Today this breathing technique researched and practiced in over 140 countries worldwide through ART OF LIVING FOUNDATION, started by his Holiness Sri Sri Ravishankar in 1981.
Sudarshan Kriya is a rhythmic breathing technique that helps reduce stress, regulate emotions and remove toxins from the body. Sudarshan Kriya literally translated from Sanskrit as proper vision by purifying action, where “su” means right, “darshan” means vision and “Kriya” means a purifying action.
Born in Uganda, East Africa, with Indian parents, educated in India and USA. In his healing work with people combines traditional Indian and Western approaches.
With master’s degree in Commerce and Business Administration from Pune University (India) and double master’s degree in Communication Arts and Hotel Administration from Ivy League Cornell University (NY, USA) Pradeep also has a vast international experience in Wellness and Hospitality Industry.

29th July - founders of Breathfulness. Jacquelien and Marco
Cancelled
We are Jacquelien and Marco, Breath workers for over 20 years. Since 2012 we are
the founders of Breathfulness.
We are proud of Vincent. We met him in 2005 and introduced him to conscious breathing. And from the beginning he enjoyed it. We met him a lot of times doing our project in Nairobi in the period 2003-2011. He’s also been for 2 months with us in Holland, and just before flying back to Nairobi he told us: I will continue your breathwork in Africa. And so amazing, he’s still doing it. After his first flight in 2007 he travelled so much to inspire people in a lot of countries and share his wisdom and love for the breath. That’s why we stay connected – both love to live our life in fulness and enjoying to share the importance of conscious breathing for a lovely life. We look forward to being at the GIC in Kenya in 2023. 20 years after our first special visit to Kenya.
The call of your soul. Sometimes you get such a clear signal from within, your soul calls so loudly, there is only one thing you can do and that’s listen to it. Such a moment was May 2002 for us. During our own Transformational Breath seminar our hearts started beating so loudly when someone asked for personal development trainers in Kenya. Separately we said YES, not knowing what we were getting into. We booked our tickets and in April 2005 we flew to Nairobi. The start of a very special journey. We met Vincent Oloo and from the first moment we knew this serves a higher purpose. You know the result.
Now we are very proud of Vincent and his breathwork. And happy to be present at the GIC and meet you in Nairobi. We share our story and the call of our soul that brought us to Kenya.
