Breema is called "The Art of Being Present" because it teaches us, through our own experience, that we can best support other people by being truly present with them. A nonjudgmental method, Breema supports and nurtures our inherent vitality, rather than focusing on illness or imbalance.

The bodywork sequences use a wide variety of rhythmic movements, gentle stretches, and fully-supported postures which are comfortable and enjoyable for the practitioner as well as the recipient. This approach comes from a deep understanding of the unity of all life, and is expressed in practical terms by Breema's Nine Principles of Harmony. The principles help the practitioner to become balanced and to conserve energy which is usually lost to physical, mental and emotional tension. They create an atmosphere of real acceptance in which the recipient can most deeply be nurtured.

“I’ve found Breema to be more than relaxing bodywork, but a meditative, unifying experience between practitioner and recipient. One immediately senses not two, but one harmonious being moving and flowing, awakening and yet resting, and most gently coming alive with lightness, playfulness and vitality.”

-Ken M.

Self-Breema Exercises

Go to our calendar of events to see upcoming classes.

A Self-Breema class can be added to your Breema bodywork session, or scheduled separately. Many and varied, the exercises include gentle stretches, rhythmic movements, and new postures to help create new possibilities in thought, movement and feeling.

“Self-Breema exercises are not for muscles, bones and joints. They are to help us discover who we really are. The mind participates in Self-Breema, as do the feelings. Like Breema Bodywork, Self-Breema is a unifying method. Body, mind, and feelings come into harmony in a common activity. We become present, and in that, we find a presence that has the simple knowledge that “there is a body.” When that knowledge is present, we experience an appreciation for the fact that we have life, and a connection to all of life. We recognize the enormous value of experiencing “body breathes, body has weight.” This non-philosophical experience is the first step in coming from the mind’s interpretation of life to the actual experience of “I exist,” and the taste of “I exist in harmony with the totality of life.”

Individual Retreats

The emphasis on the individual retreat is to provide you with a lot of support to simply Be. To do this, we include one-on-one guidance in meditation, Self-Breema instruction and receiving Breema Bodywork.

Additionally, participants are encouraged to experience the surrounding woods as a key element of the experience.

Simple and effective, this approach helps you shed a lot of “extra,” the mechanical clamor of mental activity and associated physical tension that often come with daily life. It’s like finding a pool of clear, fresh water and realizing you can choose to drink here.

The following itinerary can be customized to include instruction in Breema Partner Bodywork and/or Meditation sessions. It is recommended that you arrive 15 to 20 minutes before your initial session to allow plenty of time to get settled in without hurry.

“I live alone, and so I appreciate being able to walk into a group that is so loving and touches so beautifully. After receiving Breema, I sometimes feel elated and full of energy, sometimes quiet and able to rest deeply.”

- Linda O.
