Helping others uncover their light, unravel how they've learned to be in this life, & embrace what’s possible next in their journey of transformation.
Nūma (pneuma) is an ancient Greek word for both breath and spirit. Somatics refers to both somatic psychotherapeutics and experiential movement practices. Nūma is a precious opportunity to meet yourself and other amazing human beings in a curious, vulnerable, authentic, embodied, and creatively expressive way.
It is the weaving together of life-transforming breathwork practices with trauma-infor
med somatic psycho-therapeutic investigations, somatic movement explorations, sound medicine, and so much more. Nūma is a bridge between science and the sacred. It employs sensitive therapeutic processes as well as insightful and profound dives into non-ordinary states of consciousness. It's an empowering exploration of the continuum of human experience and a catalyst for resolving suffering, unleashing creativity, and rekindling the flame in our hearts and souls.

There are stories you’ve learned to think about…
and stories your body has been living for years.
Held in posture.
In breath.
In the quiet shaping of how you move through the world.
Echoes in the Temple is an invitation to meet these deeper imprints—
not as problems to fix,
but as material for transformation.
Through breathwork, somatics, yoga, sound, and relational practice,
we move beyond the intellect and into the body’s own intelligence—
where real change begins.
🗓 June 19–21, 2026
📍 (Mission), Calgary, AB
For those ready to stop circling their patterns—
and begin meeting them at the root.
Spaces are limited.
If something in you is already listening… trust that.

There is music playing in the room downstairs.
It has been playing from before you can remember.
Somewhere along the way — under pressure from the demands of life, or for management or protection, or simply because upstairs was where everything required your presence — you moved up.
From up here, through the floor of an ornate mental chamber, you can sometimes feel the bass. Sometimes catch a phrase of something familiar drifting up when the house goes quiet.
But the music itself — the entire sensuous experience of it — has become largely inaudible.
The music hasn’t stopped. It’s not missing.
You’ve simply been in the other room.

The body holds an ongoing account of your interior life. Most of us, at various times and for various reasons, lost some degree of access to it — through trauma, through chronic busyness, through environments where feeling was dangerous, through decades of being the one who holds things together.
When it reaches a certain point, it becomes known as alexithymia. Without words for emotions. It’s not an absence of feeling — rather, it’s a disruption in the translation between what the body is experiencing and what the mind can name.
The body hasn’t forgotten. The music hasn’t stopped.
Finding your way back is possible and it doesn’t require a dramatic return. It tends to happen in degrees — small movements toward sensation, with safety and enough time, often in the company of others who can help name what’s playing as it plays.
You just have to move toward the stairs.
The music will meet you on the way down.

There are echoes in the body that thinking alone can’t reach. Patterns held in breath, in muscle, in the quiet spaces beneath your story—waiting not to be fixed, but felt, moved, and reimagined.

Men... have you noticed the gap?
The space between who you show the world and what’s quietly living underneath. Most of us work hard to manage that gap—to keep it functional, to keep it from interfering with what needs to get done.
The management works. And it comes with a cost.
This breathwork series is a container for what the management has been holding. Not to fix it or replace it with better strategies, but to sit in it with other men who are also figuring it out—to breathe, to be uncertain together, to grieve, to laugh, and to accompany what life keeps asking of us.
Over six weeks, we will explore territories that shape men’s lives but are rarely examined honestly:
• The cultural inheritance living in your body
• The socialization that disconnected you from yourself
• The identity questions haunting a constructed life
• The wound of being expected to know what nobody taught
We will meet in humble-as-possible ways... group conversations, partner work, and conscious connected breathwork—a practice that accesses the stories life carved in your body in ways talking alone cannot.
All of it happens in a container of other men. This matters more than most expect; statistically, men are notorious for attempting to navigate their inner landscape on their own.
Some of the discomfort you have been encountering is simply growing pains: outgrowing where you came from and who you were because of it, growing into the life ahead as your learn, shed, and open into what’s possible.

“But what happens when I go home?”
It’s a common, often unexpressed consideration. And it’s a good one.
Because the truth is—a retreat isn’t an escape. It’s not a week off from your life. It’s a portal. And what comes next is where the real transformation lives.
Here’s what people often experience after a retreat like Respira:
🌊 THE IMMEDIATE 🌊
You return home different. Softer. More curious. More present. More yourself. The patterns you worked with in Costa Rica haven’t disappeared, but your relationship to them has shifted. You notice how they play out in day-to-day life. You pause before reacting. You choose differently.
🌊 THE SETTLING 🌊
The first few weeks can feel disorienting. The world you left is the same, but you’re not. Old relationships might feel different. Familiar dynamics might feel discordant. This isn’t regression—it’s clarity. You’re seeing everything through a new lens.
🌊 THE INTEGRATION 🌊
This is where the real work begins. The insights from the retreat want to be lived, not just remembered. You might find yourself setting new boundaries. Renegotiating relationships. Starting conversations you’ve been avoiding. Making choices that feel true even when they’re hard.
🌊 THE RIPPLE 🌊
Your transformation doesn’t just affect you. It touches everyone around you. Your partner notices you’re more present. Your friends see you’re less reactive. Your family feels the shift even if they can’t name it. Some will celebrate this. Some won’t. Both are information.
🌊 THE BECOMING 🌊
Months later, you’ll look back and realize—you didn’t just have an experience. You changed. Not in a dramatic, sudden way. But in a thousand small ways that add up to a different life. A truer life. A life that feels more like yours.
So what comes next after Respira?
The rest of your life. But now, you have new tools. New awareness. New capacity. New permission to live as yourself.
And that changes everything.
📅 April 11-18, Costa Rica

✨ Sometimes the body speaks before the mind can catch up.
In breathwork, we often find ourselves in experiences that don’t fit neatly into words or memories — sensations that arrive without a story, movements that don’t have a label, feelings that aren’t ready to be explained. And that’s exactly where the learning happens.
This reflection is from one of our Level 1 students — discovering that breathwork can invite a deeper form of knowing, one that doesn’t need to be understood to be real.
If you’ve been craving a practice that honours the intelligence of the body — not just the mind — this training might be for you.

Nūma (pneuma) is an ancient Greek word for both breath and spirit. Somatics refers to both somatic psychotherapeutics and experiential movement practices.
Nūma Somatics is a practice that strategically weaves together the transformational power of Conscious Breathwork, deep bodily unwindings of somatic movement explorations, mindful somatic psychotherapeutic investigations, and the medicinal vibrations of sound therapy.
Nūma Somatics is a psychosomatic therapeutic process, an insightful dive into non-ordinary states of consciousness, and a curious exploration in being fully alive.
The 300-hr Nūma Somatics Facilitator Training is a blend of in-person training, web meetings, home studies, and practicum hours.
In-person training occurs over four 5-day modules and accounts for 150 contact hours within the facilitator training.
Immersion - Experience Numa Breathwork. This 15-hr immersion may be used to fulfill the entrance requirements into the 300 hr Facilitator Training Program. It is your opportunity to deeply taste the depth and potency of the practices we offer. Whether you are attending it as a Pre-Req or to dive more deeply into your own personal journey, this weekend immersion will help to resolve old burdens and foster clarity in life.
Level 1: Conscious Breathwork Basics. This is an experiential dive into the therapeutic modality of Conscious Breathwork. It is your opportunity to deepen your personal experience with Conscious Breathwork and develop the practical skill sets required to safely facilitate transformational one-on-one Breathwork sessions.
Level 2: Breathwork: Exploring Psyche and Soma. Deepen your understanding of Conscious Breathwork and your capacity to offer it as an effective healing and mind-expanding tool. Together, we will explore the expansive framework of Transpersonal Psychology and how the seemingly endless gamut of Breathwork experiences can be embraced from this global point of view. Specific complimentary principles and practices from the field of body psychology will be investigated and practiced.
Level 3: Somatics: Sensitive Therapeutics. Breathwork is a practice that is both Shamanic, delving into non-ordinary states of consciousness, and somatic, delving into the body and breath-based patterns of stress and trauma. Level 3 involves, for that reason, an investigation of select theories, principles and practices within the field of somatic psychotherapy that are complimentary and supportive of your Breathwork practice. You will cultivate the capacity to work deeply and safely with sensitive clientele.
Level 4: Strategic Interventions, Ceremony, and Group Facilitation. An expansion into the realms of group facilitation. It is your opportunity to cultivate your capacity to present the theories, principles and practices of Nūma Somatics in a variety of formats. You will both receive and provide Nūma Somatics group sessions with fellow students as you develop the skill sets required to construct and maintain safe containers for wide spread transformation.
The 500-hr Nūma Somatics Practitioner Certification is granted upon the successful completion of at least 200 hours of training in our advanced modules. Each 50-hour advanced module is a blend of in-person training, web meetings, home studies, and practicum hours.
There are five advanced modules to select from, allowing for a degree of "specialization" as a Nūma Somatics Practitioner. Select from:
Advanced Psycho-Emotional Body Reading (Modules A & B)
Pattern Specific Bodywork (Modules A & B)
Pattern Specific Client Self-Care
Alternative Breathwork Practices & the Continuum of Consciousness
Nūma Yoga Teacher Training
