Same Method, Every Path

What You Walk Away With

Every path leads to the same place: the surrender-based method, a real facilitator credential, and the confidence to hold Breathwork for real people. You learn safe, trauma-informed facilitation and the business side of filling your first rooms.

Whichever format you choose, you train directly with Ryan and Shelby in a small cohort, and you keep the graduate community and mentorship long after your final day.

We built the online cohort for people who can't travel, or who simply want to start online. Whatever your reason, it gets you there. That said, if you can make an in-person intensive work, we always encourage it. Breathing in a room with your cohort is something a screen can't fully recreate.

Honest About the Distance

Where You Can Train Now

We will be straight with you. We never held a training in Truckee itself. Our closest in-person training was the Lake Tahoe intensive in South Lake Tahoe, about 30 to 40 minutes south, and it ran August 21-23, 2026. That cohort has concluded.

The good news for a Truckee mountain local: you do not need a nearby venue to certify. The online cohort brings the full training home, and the Phoenix intensives give you the in-person immersion if you want to travel for it.

  • Our Lake Tahoe intensive has concluded. It ran August 21-23, 2026 in South Lake Tahoe, about 30 minutes from Truckee.
  • Train from home. The 12-week online certification starts October 6, 2026 at $1,497. No drive at all.
  • Train in person in Phoenix. Three-day intensives on September 25-27, October 23-25, and November 6-8, 2026.
