Learning – Experience – Integration

Breathwork is becoming an increasingly popular tool for personal growth, resilience, and mental health. Interest in these millennia-old practices is also growing within the scientific community. 

The psychedelic renaissance is also gaining widespread attention: increasing research demonstrates the healing potential of substances like psilocybin, LSD, and similar compounds for mental health conditions.

These developments have also led to a boom in breathwork interventions. Breathwork methods such as Conscious Connected Breath, Rebirthing Breathwork, Light Breath, Psychedelic Breath, and Holotropic Breathwork offer substance-free and legal alternatives to classic psychedelics for inducing altered states of consciousness, thereby providing new perspectives in the healing of trauma or depression and potentially leading to improved health and resilience.

Which breathwork methods and techniques yield which effects – regenerative, activating, or consciousness-expanding?

What is currently known about the health benefits and risks of breathwork?

What are the psychological and neurological mechanisms that facilitate transformation through breathwork?

What potential lies in the experience of consciousness-expanding states?

We invite you to the second Berlin Breathwork Days to explore these questions together with our speakers and participants, and to experience them firsthand.

We bring the breathwork community together.

We facilitate knowledge transfer for newcomers and professionals – promoting greater transparency, safety, and guidance.

  • “It is rare for practitioners of an avant-garde, such as the pioneers of the German breathwork movement, to engage in candid discourse regarding the risks and profound opportunities of breathwork, devoid of commercial agenda, as transpired at the inaugural Berlin Breathwork Days. In essence: the passion and mutual goodwill envisioned by initiator Yasmine Orth.”

    – Kristin Rübesamen, Founder of Yogahikes.de and Editor-in-Chief of Yogaeasy.de

  • You have very convincingly succeeded in moderating an appreciative dialogue that bridged worlds which might otherwise perceive themselves as overly intellectual, detached, or dry, or conversely, as too intuitive, inexplicable, or tradition-bound.

    – Hans Rutrecht - MIND Foundation

  • The Breathwork Days proved to be an inspiring event, uniquely integrating scientific research with experiential exchanges from our own and other breathwork schools. We were delighted to participate in the panel and contribute to the discourse on critical aspects of breathwork, thereby collectively shaping the future of this practice.

    — Klaus and Vidya Ulbricht, Founders of Lichtatmung® and naou®.

  • The Breathwork Days represent a meticulously curated event that integrates scientific insights with various breathwork disciplines, thereby providing an unparalleled platform for personal development and collective learning. This event enriches the global community and warrants international expansion to grant more individuals access to the transformative potential of breathwork.

    – Sukkhadas Auer, Wim Hof Instructor

  • What Yasmine has created with the Breathwork Days has delivered immense value and facilitated something truly novel: an exchange of knowledge and insights among diverse breathwork schools and methodologies. This feels like a momentous beginning!

Lovers & Leaders + Humboldt University

The Berlin Breathwork Days are initiated by Yasmine Orth of The Lovers & Leaders and organized in cooperation with Prof. Isabel Dziobek from Humboldt University Berlin.

Study

At Humboldt University Berlin, several research projects are currently dedicated to the exciting field of breathwork. The central question is what transformative potential breathwork holds for the treatment of mental illnesses such as depression and trauma – and where potential risks lie. 

This complex phenomenon is scientifically examined in three current studies: The RESET study conducts clinical interventions with traumatized patients.– An international survey collects experiential reports from breathwork practitioners worldwide.– And in the innovative HEART study, psychotherapists without prior experience were able to participate in a guided breath journey – followed by a reflection on how breathwork can be utilized in future therapeutic practice.
