In the Kabbalistic tradition, this time of year marks the Days of Return; a sacred threshold between what has been and what could be. It is a season of reckoning and repentance, of clearing residue from the heart and realigning with the soul. These are days of awe and tenderness, an invitation to examine our relationships with others, with ourselves, with the Divine, and to begin again.

But in order to enjoy a clean slate, we must clean the slate.

Ho’oponopono is an ancient Hawaiian prayer, composed of four simple phrases. It is a cleansing practice of personal responsibility, forgiveness, love, and gratitude. Through the repetition of these phrases with full presence and intention, we shift perception, release patterns, and return to wholeness. Ho’oponopono invites us into heart consciousness and reminds us of the creative power of our thoughts, words, and actions. This simple yet profound ritual addresses all challenges, subtle or significant, and offers tools for real-life transformation.

Through the art of contemplation and the power of our words, voices, breath, and presence, we will move through inner tensions toward resolution and closure, stepping into a new chapter with greater freedom and clarity.

Breathwork is the original endogenous psychedelic, an ancient, natural technology that brings unconscious material to the surface, activates cellular memory, with many therapeutic properties. Inspired by the work of psychiatrist and psychedelic pioneer Dr. Stanislav Grof, this journey uses breath as a gateway: into the body, into the past, into the mystery.
