With Level 1, you will not be able to facilitate workshops and retreats, you will need both Levels 1 and 2 to organize and run your own events.

In the InnerCamp Breathwork Training, we engage in a deep breathwork style where we reach altered states of consciousness. In Bodywork, we use a different kind of breathing technique, and we take breaks from activation. Although one can reach altered states of consciousness, it is milder and is not the main aim.

Because we have more control over our state in Bodywork, the Bodywork training is a more appropriate technique for people with trauma and who can get triggered easily. Breathwork is less controlled and can bring out more than a person is ready for. With Bodywork, the person controls how deep they want to go. There are rounds of activation and relaxation; the breather can choose where they want to work, how much they want to be activated, and how long.

The main focus is staying present with the body in Bodywork, while it is the opposite in Breathwork. In Breathwork, we dive deep within the mind; we come to a state beyond the body’s limitations.

While some breathwork approaches involve movement and bodywork techniques, it is not the main focus, while in Bodywork, we focus on the body entirely.

Breathwork is a better fit for people who want to start a profoundly personal journey; gain valuable insights; connecting with self, others, and the divine. Bodywork is better for people who want to connect with their bodies, learn to stay present, and want to release trauma (it is possible and common to release trauma with Breathwork too. However, it is essential to note that Bodywork is a somewhat more safe method for this).

By joining InnerCamp, you become part of something bigger, a community of like-minded people with similar intentions. You will also embark on a transformative journey that is designed to make a positive shift in your holistic career and boost your personal growth. We give you the tools, the safe space and the time to integrate all the teachings in your own pace.

Once you are enrolled in InnerCamp program, you join our global community of holistic practitioners and teachers. Each training is intended to assist students in forming their own opinions regarding the role of holistic practices in overall well-being and in developing skills to guide others in one-on-one / group sessions. We create a quality learning environment and experiences that will equip students with up-to-date and trustworthy knowledge, as well as confidence to build a solid foundation for their holistic business.

Our educational content is presented in form of articles, downloadable materials, pre-recorded videos, and live sessions. Assignments and quizzes will help you integrate the teachings and do some personal introspection to better utilize all InnerCamp techniques. Apart from the live sessions, we also invite our students to all our weekly workshops and monthly Q&A calls, where you will gain all the tools you need to become a skilled facilitator.

Program live sessions provide direct and instant support as well as the opportunity to network with other students. We believe that live interaction and immediate feedback enhance educational process. Live format is a useful extension to e-learning: there are often questions and queries that are not easily answered by the resources. Modern students prefer to get instant responses and exemplifications, and want to make sure that what they have acquired is correct and they know how to use it in the daily professional life. These sessions also act as great icebreakers for those who lack confidence and experience in guiding others, as they can practice this skill in a very inclusive, safe and supervised environment. All live sessions are recorded and can be accessed on our e-learning platform at any time.

InnerCamp Workshops are sessions for general public and they serve as a quick-fix to a specific issue. Normally we tackle problems that don’t require in-depth work and can be relieved or fully resolved within 1,5-2 hours. We focus on stress-relief, energy rebalance, immunity boost, relationship harmonization, as well as more complex topics as ancestral healing, feminine rhythms, inner child work, etc.. Our techniques are proven as effective as therapy sessions. Workshops serve as introduction and real time showcase of what Breathwork, Tantra and Shamanism are capable of when acquired in the right way against everyday life stressors and past triggers. We always record live streams so they can be replayed within 72 hours if the session was missed or a revision needed. As a program student, you also get free access to our workshops.

Covid-19 notice
