By opening up energy pathways, your mind empties and the power of breath to deepen self-healing becomes fully available to you.
Being in nature away from home, gives you a chance to pause and look at your life from a different perspective. You can nurture yourself and rejuvenate mind, body and spirit. You will be able to let go, and get in touch with your true ‘authentic self’. Breathing fresh air into your body, breathes fresh air into your mind, allowing you to clear away clutter and integrate stress. This will leave you feeling super relaxed, re-energised, and resilient in the face of any challenges.[/cs_text][x_gap size="20px" class="cs-hide-xl cs-hide-lg cs-hide-md"][x_line style="border-top-width: 1px;"][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][cs_section parallax="false" style="margin: 0px;padding: 25px 0px;"][cs_row inner_container="true" marginless_columns="false" style="margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;"][cs_column fade="false" fade_animation="in" fade_animation_offset="45px" fade_duration="750" type="1/1" style="padding: 0px;"][x_image type="none" src="http://www.thebigbreathcompany.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/PicMonkey-Collage3.jpg" alt="" link="false" href="#" title="" target="" info="none" info_place="top" info_trigger="hover" info_content=""][x_gap size="20px"][x_gap size="20px"][x_gap size="20px"][x_custom_headline level="h3" looks_like="h4" accent="false" class="cs-ta-center" style="margin: 0 0 0.15em;"]The Mill Retreat Centre[/x_custom_headline][x_gap size="20px"][cs_text]We know that nature is one of the best healing and teaching environments that exists.
So you will be staying in a renovated mill, hidden in the beautiful French Normandy countryside on a 30-acre estate, with its own spectacular lake, and enchanting woodlands. The workspace on the top floor is one of our favourite spaces to breathe in.
Breathing in this natural bio-diverse environment will promote health whilst providing the perfect sanctuary.
We believe this is the perfect place for you to “retreat to” for four days. Our previous guests from November provided rave reviews and have asked us to re book it this year.

Transformational Breath is an amazing technique that works across three levels. The first level teaches you how to open your complete respiratory system. Physically this energises, clears toxins, and boosts the immune system. It reduces stress hormones; in fact each session can clear ‘something’, leaving behind deep feelings of relaxation.
The emotional is the second level. Emotionally, Transformational Breath provides an opportunity to access those deep unresolved issues and integrate them in a way that has an immediate benefit on your life. This tool works at the level of the subconscious.
The third level of Transformational Breath is personal and partially dependent upon belief systems; for some it’s deeply spiritual, others fast track to deep meditative states.
Dr Judith Kravitz developed Transformational Breath over 30 years ago in the US. There are amazing stories of self-healing using Transformational Breath; including a reduction in symptoms of diseases, such as cancer and back pain. Tens of thousands of people Worldwide have benefited from this tool.
