Cult disguised as expensive workshop. Beware.
I joined a 3 day workshop on breathing. First day was interesting. Second day was a repeat, nothing new. We were forced to join a zoom call to worship a guru, at the expense of the workshop. I realised none of the coaches were qualified, but rather were there to try and enlist you to join their cult. I paid top price for the course, but realised it was actually money to fund their movement. I didnt come back for day 3.

Hello Pedro, We take our workshop curriculum and compliance very seriously. We want to clarify that our 3-day breathing workshop focuses strictly on evidence-based breathwork, meditation instruction, and principles for happy living. In this workshop, we do not host Zoom calls of the nature described. Outside of our core breathwork classes, our organizational partnerships consist of humanitarian, education, and disaster relief initiatives. All of our instructors hold certifications in breathwork instruction. We have no record of these events occurring in our sessions. Please contact our compliance and operations team directly at [email protected] with your registration details so we can investigate your account and look into this matter immediately.
