The annual Global Inspiration Conference is a week-long celebration of Conscious Breathwork*. It is held in a different country each year in a venue with picturesque natural surroundings. This year it is set in the beautiful countryside of the United Kingdom, on the border between England and Wales near the town of Hay-on Wye. The GIC features a wide range of the best breathwork professionals from around the World – as well as a hottub for breathwork sessions; sweatlodge; swimming pool – and traditional live music and theatre from the British Isles.

At the GIC you will find workshops, lectures, social events, sharing of best practice, dancing, good food, good company and lots of fun. It’s a wonderful opportunity for personal and professional growth, as well as making friends and valuable connections. The Global Inspiration Conference is a truly inspirational event. To reflect this, part of the daily programme is fixed in advance while the rest is left open and is scheduled on a daily basis during the week. The open programme includes all proposals put forward by participants at the conference for presentations, workshops, discussion topics and other activities related to the conference theme. All of these activities are offered in a spirit of peer-group exchange and inspiration.

The GIC offers the possibility to all people devoted to Breathwork to creatively participate in a global activity which promotes and honours the breath as a transformational tool. It is a wonderful opportunity to exchange views, teach, learn and receive inspiration from like-minded friends and colleagues. This year celebrates the 15th GIC conference –and the first time in the U.K. If you are interested in joining us at GIC for some inspiration, fun, learning and personal growth, then read on! There will be regular updates to the website in the run up to the GIC in July, including information on remaining accommodation availability. We look forward to hearing from you soon on our Booking line - Call +44 (0) 1730 233414 –and ask for ‘GIC Bookings’ or e-mail gicbookings@ibfnetwork.com

*Information on Conscious Breathwork –The Spirit of the International Breathwork Foundation (IBF)

When used in specific ways, breathing allows us to release and resolve emotions, belief systems, stresses and memories which are often inaccessible through the more conventional talking therapies. Breathing, beyond the basic need for survival, acts as a bridge between spirit, mind, and body; a bridge between the conscious and the subconscious. "Conscious Breathing" is one of the quickest ways to open our hearts to love and inner peace, and to fill our bodies with life and health. Connecting the inhale with the exhale consciously and continuously, is one of the most effective ways of connecting us to ourselves, to each other, and all of us to Nature and existence. Conscious Breathing allows us to go into the deepest realities of life, to acknowledge our life processes, and to set the ground for personal transformation while reaching the highest states of consciousness.

“Breathwork” involves the study and practice of breath awareness and conscious breathing for spirit, mind, and body. Breathworkers use the Breath and Breathing Techniques as tools for health, growth, therapy, and change. Breath Mastery can be used to enhance and accelerate human development and learning on all levels. Breathwork and Breathing Techniques are now being taught all over the world.

What is the International Breathwork Foundation (IBF) ?

The International Breathwork Foundation is a world-wide network of people from different traditions and professions who are inspired by and interested in the practice of Conscious Breathing and Breathwork. We come together to share and celebrate our love of the breath. The IBF warmly welcomes everyone who is interested in breathing as a tool for mental, physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. The IBF's purpose is to promote a heart-centred approach to Conscious Breathing and Breathwork, its theory and practice.
