About the Experience

You are warmly invited into an intimate ceremonial space where breath and sound meet in sacred harmony. This is a deeply held session of presence, love, and safety a place to soften, surrender, and journey as deeply as you feel called. Through conscious breath and shamanic sound, you are guided to release stored emotion, stagnant energy, and patterns that no longer serve you. The vibration will be a shamanic prayer aligning mind, body and soul. Together, ceremony and breath merge, allowing you to leave with exactly what is meant to be revealed and released in this moment. Nothing is forced. Everything unfolds in its own time.

What to expect

Breakthrough Breathwork is a powerful, embodied journey using the intelligence of the breath to regulate the nervous system, ground the body, and open pathways for emotional and energetic release. In this immersive experience, you are invited to reconnect with the natural rhythm of your breath not as something to control, but as something to collaborate with. An ancient art that, when practiced with intention, has the power to restore balance, clarity, and inner freedom.

During the session we will;

🪶 Open the space with a gentle ceremonial cacao
🪶 Explore the wisdom and science behind breathwork and nervous system regulation
🪶 Journey through a sequence of intentional breathwork techniques
🪶 Be guided by shamanic sound/prayer to integrate and settle the experience
🪶 Close in community sharing, grounding insights and reflections

Expect a deeply healing experience that may feel energising, cathartic, calming, or expansive often all at once. Many leave feeling lighter, clearer, more connected, and deeply aligned.

About my sessions
My sessions are grounded, ceremonial, and deeply nervous-system aware. I hold space with love, care, integrity, and reverence allowing each participant to move at their own pace and depth.
I blend conscious breathwork, sound healing, ceremony, community, nature and somatic awareness to support real transformation not by forcing change, but by creating the conditions where it can naturally unfold.
The container created is a safe space to be you, to bring together community and connection. Practices are rooted in modern science, ancient shamanism and Hindu traditions brought into the modern world. 
This is not about fixing yourself. It is about remembering your capacity to heal, release, and return to your True self.

This Session Is For You If…

🪶  You feel called to release emotional, physical or energetic weight
🪶  You want to regulate your nervous system
🪶  You are moving through a transition or seeking clarity
🪶  You desire deeper connection to your body, breath, and inner world
🪶  You are seeking community and connection
🪶  You seek a grounded yet spiritual experience held in safety
🪶  You want to experience breathwork as ceremony, not performance

No prior experience is needed only a willingness to breathe, feel, and be present.

About the Facilitators

Ankesh Chopra
IG @verde_connected_healing

I’m a facilitator and guide devoted to wellness for the modern world.

My path began with my own healing journey — I grew up in a home where, on the surface, everything looked fine: comfort, opportunity, stability. I had the job, the house, the family — yet something was missing. That quiet emptiness eventually pulled me into darkness and disconnection.


That descent became my turning point — the beginning of a journey through healing, ceremony, and travel across India, Guatemala, Peru, and Mexico. Along the way, I learned from local healers and wisdom keepers who taught me how to reconnect with breath, earth, and spirit.


For the past four years, I’ve been facilitating healing circles that weave together breathwork, ecstatic dance, cacao, sound, hapeh, and other earth-based modalities. My approach is both spiritual and grounded — drawing from real-world experience in the corporate world and a deep respect for the human experience.


Today, I guide others to remember who they are beneath the noise — to lead with presence, live with love, and find strength through vulnerability.

About All Our Group Offerings

Cacao

Cacao (Theobroma cacao) is a sacred plant medicine from Central and South America, traditionally used in ceremony to open the heart, uplift the spirit, and deepen connection.

Unlike common chocolate, ceremonial cacao is a pure raw food, and retains its natural theobromine content — a gentle cardiovascular stimulant that increases blood flow and releases feel-good neurochemicals.

Cacao is not psychoactive but can create a warm, euphoric, heart-centred state when consumed intentionally.

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking antidepressant medication, please let us know — we can serve you a half dose or herbal alternative.

Hapé (Rapé) — Sacred Tobacco Snuff

Hapé (pronounced ha-PAY) is a sacred shamanic snuff made from finely ground Amazonian tobacco (mapacho) and medicinal herbs.

Traditionally used by Indigenous tribes of Brazil and Peru, it’s a purification medicine that helps to clear the mind, ground the energy, and bring presence to the body.

In our ceremonies, hape is always optional and served in reverence. It can induce a short, grounding experience that may include mild physical effects (tingling, light dizziness, or clearing through the nose/throat).

Not suitable for those who are pregnant, have severe hypertension, or are highly sensitive to tobacco.

Breathwork / Bodywork / Massage

Some events may include breathwork, sound healing, or light touch (massage/bodywork) as part of the journey.

All touch is consensual, trauma-informed, and energetically respectful.

Breathwork can evoke strong physical or emotional releases — please inform facilitators beforehand if you have any physical or mental health concerns such as PTSD, cardiovascular issues, pregnancy, epilepsy, or recent surgery.

Shamanic Drum Journey

A drum journey is an ancient meditative practice used across many cultures to access altered states of awareness through rhythmic drumming.

The steady beat helps the brain shift into theta waves, a state of deep relaxation and intuitive insight.

In this state, you may receive visions, sensations, or symbolic guidance. There is no “right” way to journey — simply lie back, breathe, and let the sound carry you.

Sound Healing

Sound healing uses sacred instruments such as didgeridoo, crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, chimes, and rattles to harmonize the energy body.

These frequencies invite the mind into stillness, allowing the nervous system to recalibrate and the body to release tension.

You may feel vibrations moving through your body, experience warmth, tingling, or emotional release.

There’s no need to “do” anything — simply breathe, receive, and let the sound wash through you.

Accupressure

Acupressure and acupuncture are ancient healing arts that work with the body’s energy meridians to restore flow, relieve tension, and bring balance to the internal organs and emotions.

Gentle pressure (or in some sessions, fine sterile needles) is applied to specific points to release blockages and support the natural self-healing process.

You may feel subtle pulses, warmth, or energy shifts as circulation and chi begin to move.

These sensations are a sign the body is rebalancing — relax and allow the process to unfold.
