Dear friend,

Thank you for your interest.


If you were waiting at a bus stop and bumped into Peter Grinlington who told you:

 “Apart from getting married and having children, nothing else has had such a profound impact on my life”

Would you be curious to find out what he was talking about?

and if Ros Stewart was also there and she said:

“It has changed my life! Never in my wildest dreams did I anticipate in the span of twenty weeks would I process so much, grow so much and move forward with such confidence.” 

Would you be even more interested to find out more?

And what if Annette Baulch was there also and she added:

My heart feels like an open, wise and lifelong friend.  I have a new job, a wonderful new relationship, a sense of spiritual connection and an openness to life which is still amazing to me and those who know me. The most incredible thing is that it is now 18 months since I completed the training and the changes are still happening!  I urge you to remove the obstacles and just do it! “

Wouldn't you want to know what was going on?

And wouldn't you be jumping out of your skin if you heard Judy Constable say:

“A very dear friend told me that I would be given  a key. They said it would open up what I have always been searching for and I would be blown away by it. 

I found that key at Breathwork. It was the key to my heart and yep, I am blown away...”

All of these people are talking about one the most profound experiences they have ever had:


The BREATHWORK TRAINING 

Like winning Tattslotto...
In the same way as people dream of winning lotto, I have spent the last 22 years assembling in my mind and heart the ultimate personal transformation process.

... a five month life transforming journey of heart opening, emotional healing, empowerment and deep connection to your core: peaceful, happy, free and contented.


I have conducted over 15,000 Breathwork sessions over the last 20 years and I am still amazed and inspired by the power of this simple breathing technique for healing, heart opening and personal empowerment. I just love it!

A
select group (the training is limited to 12 participants) and an abundance of time ensure that each participant receives the personalised attention from me to make personal breakthroughs in each area of their life.


Two levels of attendance
You can attend at either of two levels: PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT or PRACTITIONER

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
You may choose to attend the training purely for your personal development. I believe that therapists cannot guide anyone further into heart opening than they have journeyed themselves. Furthermore it is the quality of a healers' presence or energy more than any knowledge that they may have that determines their healing potential. Thus a major focus of the training will be the  growth of each trainee.

This training will be conducted with a strong and loving group of people who are committed to both their own growth and to supporting that of others. The training offers an intense transformational process over a five month period. Thus it is an opportunity for participants to enrich the quality of their lives, experience major shifts forward in their personal level of awareness, effectiveness and love. 

PRACTITIONER
The training offers you an excellent opportunity to gain qualifications to establish a rich and rewarding career in Emotional Healing and Empowerment - an area of healing that is rapidly gaining interest and recognition.

This may be the opportunity you have been looking for to gain greater skills in assisting others on the journey of heart opening and personal empowerment. My experience as a healer has been that this is a remarkably powerful healing modality that enables people to grow and make changes quickly and easily. I continue to experience feelings of deep satisfaction and joy in seeing the effects of this process on others.

Since I began working with the breath 'spirit' has continually lifted and guided me forward. I have now been working for nineteen years full time as a Breathworker. In that time I have facilitated over 15,000 sessions. I have travelled the globe three times 'doing sessions'.

I have always found that people turn up looking for a session at the right time and I have always had plenty of clients.

If you would like to practice as a Breathwork Therapist, you are required to attend the additional practitioner training days.

The Training Format
The Training is conducted in 5 modules over a five month period (one per month).

This holistic, heart centred program is a systematic in-depth life review where you get to look at what works for you and what does not. While building on your strengths we clear blocks that stop you being the person you long to be and empower you towards creating the life you want to live.


Module 1    ALCHEMY
Mastering the head and heart to reprogram for success and happiness: metaphysics, subconscious beliefs and emotional mastery.
   
Module 2    INNER CHILD HEALING - GROWING UP AND BLOSSOMING
Healing your ‘inner child’, claiming your place here on Earth, finding wholeness within and embracing your own authority.
   
Module 3 PASSIONATE MEN AND WOMEN
Men and women establishing a stronger, more resilient sense of self through understanding, celebrating and honouring the aspects of the masculine and feminine essence.
   
Module 4    LOVE, SEX AND MONEY
Love, sex and money are three of the most powerful forces on the planet. Yet at school we receive virtually no training in how to master them. Love, Sex and Money is about establishing healthy, fulfilling and enjoyable ways of living from our hearts.
   
Module 5 RADICAL BREAKTHROUGHS - AWAKENING TO YOUR SPIRIT
 ‘Radical Breakthroughs’ and journeys through the physical, mental and emotional realms into the nature of spirit:

“At the centre of your being there is a vast ocean of Peace, Love and Happiness
Not knowing who you are is the root cause of fear, unhappiness and misery.
When you realise who you are, you are instantly liberated, released from suffering.
No longer are you bound and controlled by the fears of your personality,
You are truly free.”   Nicholas de Castella

Practitioner days
An extra day (Monday) is added to each module for those wishing to train as a Breathwork Practitioner. There will also be two business development days near the end of the trainng to assist you to establish your practice.



The Facilitators

The Breathwork Training is primarily facilitated by Nicholas
de Castella and co-facilitated by his wife Susan. Both highly experienced Breathworkers, they have both spent over half their lives exploring personal development. They share a passion for personal growth and bring a depth of love and understanding to the journey.

Prerequisites
 
To participate in the training you need to have a personal commitment to your own healing process and a desire to help others. As the training will prepare you to practice healing you do not have to feel ready to be a therapist right now. You simply need to feel a desire to bring more love into the world. An important aspect of the training will be to expose and release blockages that may restrict your confidence as a healer.

I believe that healers are like bridges or conduits. The healer guides the client from where they are to as far as that particular healer can go. We need different kinds of healers with different experiences and backgrounds to draw on. People seem to be magically drawn to particular healers because that healer can help them to cross their next bridge. This is good news for you as a healer because it means that to be able to assist others it is not necessary to have completely healed all areas of your life.

Accreditation
On completion of the training the trainee will be qualified to apply for  accreditation with the Australian Breathwork Association.

On going support and development
We have regular meetings as part of our on going support and back up program for therapists. This takes the form of regular gatherings where we can pool resources and further our understanding of Breathwork and Emotional Process Work. We share about issues that have arisen in sessions, both examples of things that worked well and times where we were feeling a bit unsure. We also continue our own personal development with Breathwork and Emotional Process sessions with our fellow therapists.

Nicholas de Castella

A bit of my Background...

I know what it feels like to be struggling to get on top of your life. I know what it feels like to not seem to be able to take a trick. In the mid 1980's my life was at its lowest ebb. I had lost the joy in life.

Even though I had many of the hallmarks of success I was not happy or fulfilled inside. I was married, on scholarship at The Australian Institute of Sport, representing Australia in international athletics, working as an architect, living in a fine
house,  young (mid 20's), fit and healthy.

BUT inside I was struggling. I felt empty, lost, frustrated and miserable.
I was becoming more and more pessimistic, cynical and shut down. 

I started to struggle in training, was having difficulties relating to my wife and began suffering from chronic fatigue. In 1985 I has involved in a head on car accident in which my best friends wife was killed. I lost 5 teeth and had 135 stiches on my face and scalp.

I was desperately seeking answers.

I had tried the rounds of conventional help to no avail. Nothing changed and I got more and more desperate.

Until one day I was fortunate to discover something that turned my life around.

Infact what I discovered radically transformed my life. Suddenly I understood.

I understood why things were so hard and why I was so unhappy. It was like I had been playing a game of Basketball, not understanding the rules and keep on being fowled off the court.

What I discovered has propelled me for over 20 years now. 

What I discovered was that the key to finding success and happiness in life was in looking inside, not outside. All my life, up until then, I had tried to do the right thing, make my parents proud and others happy, and work hard in the pursuit of success.

Instead of focusing so much on trying to get my external conditions 'just right', I realised I needed to turn my attention inside for change to occur in my life.

I saw very clearly how I had been making things difficult for myself - unconcsiously! I had grown up taking on negative beliefs and feelings that were producing negative results in my life.

I was AWAKE!


Paul Blackburn is the man who woke me up and inspired me to not only seek what is possible, but to encourage and guide others to awaken to their own potential also. Today Paul is a good friend whom I love dearly and will be forever grateful for his presence in my life. In fact, he probably saved my life.

That was 20 years ago,
since then I have continued to explore the potential of human experience - just how good can it get! I have also had a passion for sharing what I discovered with others who have found themselves in similar situations as me.

And it has been a most heart warming and rewarding time.


Thanks to Paul I discovered that the source of the problem was within me. And even better, I found out how to take control of my life to achieve success and how to induce inner peace, happiness and as a consequence my life has been transformed.


Today, I am very happily married to Susan, I have two wonderful boys (Charles and Alexander), I spend my time doing what I love, living my passion, I live on 7 beautiful acres of rainforest in the Dandenong Ranges in Melbourne (where we hold our retreats) and I feel very blessed by life.

Sure I still have my challenges, but I handle them so much better these days.

The essence of the Breathwork Training is expressed in the following poem:

The Invitation

It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living...
I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream
 of meeting your heart’s longing.

It doesn’t interest me how old you are...
I want to know if you risk looking like a fool for love, for dreams,
 for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon...
I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow. If you have been opened by life’s betrayals, or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain.

I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own,
 without moving to hide it, or fade it, or fix it.

I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own;
if you can dance wildness, and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes, without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, 
or to remember the limitations of being human.

It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true
I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul.

I want to know if you can see beauty even when it’s not pretty every day, and if you can source your life from beauty’s presence.

I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, “YES!”

It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have...
I want to if you can get up after a night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done for the children.

It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here...
I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me
 and not shrink back.

It doesn’t interest me where, or what, or with whom you have studied...
I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself, and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

    Oriah Mountain Dreamer 1994
