Breathwork Retreats
Breathwork retreats use legal, substance-free consciousness practices and are widely available in Australia and internationally. They sit outside the regulatory questions that apply to substance-based retreats, but screening and facilitator experience still matter — breathwork is not risk-free for everyone.
