Breathwork

Dear friends & family

In our mission to share breathwork with the world and help people connect to their deeper selves, and in anticipation of our new project (more info soon) we decided to release the full version of our first official collaboration: Shunyata. We really want to thank all people that have supported us on Bandcamp. We deeply appriciate your support. 

The one-hour journey consists entirely of my own productions and is guided by the voice of Peter Vermeiren of Breath and Energy. Throughout the journey deep continuous breathing cycles are alternated with breath retentions on the out-breath and in-breath, enabling you to travel through your body, mind and spirit, and guiding you gently into higher states of consciousness. After the deep continues breathing cycles, the journey ends with a deep relaxing guided meditation.

In order to get the best experience possible, please use headphones and lie down somewhere where you won’t be disturbed. Also, please keep in mind that by doing this breathwork you are changing your body physically, you are changing the oxygen ratio, and as result you might feel physical sensations as tingling in your fingers and toes, this is completely normal.

Shunyata refers to the emptiness of full potential in Buddhism.

We wish you a beautiful heart and mind opening journey.

Let the breath be your guide.

Much love,
Peter and Joep


Precautions:
The breathing technique is safe for people with normal health. If you have doubts about your health please consult an experienced breathwork teacher and/or doctor first. If you have had psychosis or epilepsy in the past this intense track breathing technique is not for you. If you are pregnant or have a very high blood or eye pressure it is best to breathe slowly and don’t hold your breath. Don’t do this intense breathing while driving or in the water as it alters your perception.

A cosmic right, since birth , is to Feel, Express and Get Knowledge - these 3 together create Consciousness...
We are the creators of our reality and we want it to be vibrant, full of colors, textures, rainbows... and on the light of this sunrise, arose the present frequency. My gift to your dance. 

SLOW IS THE FASTEST WAY TO BE…
::: WHERE YOU FEEL ALIVE
 ::: WHERE YOU EXPRESS INSIGHTS 
::: WHERE YOU INFUSE YOUR REALITY

Sunrise Set at Rainbow Lightning Burning Man 2022 (DOWNTEMPO)

The Virtues Of Loss is the result of profound revelations, which came along a self-healing journey into the dark.  Bringing this down unders mix to life became a creative guide that helped us find a spark of light to navigate the path in trust once again. And so, we felt inspired to translate all the wisdom we learned into 5 hours of musical landscapes to spread that brightness to all those wounded hearts ready to embrace healing.   

We are ALL letting go of someone, something, or somewhere … most of the time, even letting go of an identity within ourselves. 

Let’s inspire each other by sharing our gifts as we navigate high tides. Raising the sail is not a one man’s job; we are in this together.  

Hoping you help us spread the spark.   Leave a little comment where it resonates. 

Much love.  

Zohar & Unders
| underneath |


After witnessing the community’s overwhelming positive response to our latest down unders sets, we were inspired to create live journeys where the senses can be immersed into a poetic orchestra that soothes the nervous system while opening inner doors towards discovery and self-transformation. Lookout for underneath coming your way. 



An abundance of gratitude to Zohar, Pati, Sawyer, Jonnie, Gary, Liz, Mathilde, Tati, Ricardo, Margot, Lars, Burgs, Mooji, and many of my dear friends & extended family for being such a supportive inspiration through this profound journey these past 2 months. Big thanks to all the talented musicians and producers throughout this compilation, and a special thanks to Vinny for his artistic visions on this one.

the invitation was to 'play a sensual set'
& so here it goes...

despite battling a really intense illness through the Burn, my heart was warmed by the magic that flourished during those two hours.

thank you to the curious souls who filled the tent with warmth, movement and deep appreciation for the music.

& to the crew at the motherf*cking queens for the nourishing space.

much love ♡

AAYA @ Playa Nomade with Rampue, Satori, & Patrice Baumel

This is the soundtrack I made for the Psychedelic Breath session I did with the amazing Eva Kaczor at The Monastery Festival of The Gardens of Babylon. 

I can still see myself standing there, overlooking that beautiful big barn. This was for sure one of the most powerful musical experiences I have ever experienced on stage. Normally during my sets I have the tendency to fly. The music takes me away, energies rise, and I enter a state of flow where everything just happens naturally. This is a beautiful thing! What made this sound journey so different was that instead of flying I was feeling very grounded. This groundedness enabled me to really deeply experience this journey and it’s impact on us. Sharing this with so many people at the same time makes it so much stronger.   

It is crazy how something so fundamental to our lives, our breath, becomes such a powerful tool when used consciously. This technique is a shortcut to enter a sort of dreamy state in your brain, in which you are neither awake nor asleep: the theta state. This meditative state is the gateway to your creativity, learning and intuition, and it allows you to access the power of your unconscious mind.

PSYCHEDELIC BREATH is Eva Kaczor’s own mix of dynamic breathing techniques from ancient traditions and contemporary science fused with evocative electronic music sets, she creates in collaboration with artists such as Acid Pauli and Birds of Mind. Both, deep breathing as well as electronic music, have the power to alter your state of consciousness and let you access higher realms of awareness. 

I was deeply touched by the reactions after the session. I have never seen so many people in tears of love and joy. Thank you

There are 11 cycles in the sound journey each cycle consisting of dynamic and relaxing sections. In the dynamic sections there is a deep beat you breathe intensely. The relaxing section is more ambient and you let your breath out and then finally hold it in before you enter the dynamic section of the new cycle. If you listen carefully you can hear a windchime/bell which indicates that the journey is moving into the next dynamic or relaxing section. Enjoy

Joep Mencke & Eva Kazcor | Psychedelic Breath Ceremony | The Monastery 2019

Since the incredible journey last July on the Monastery, which was my introduction into the world of breath work, we have been planning to do another Psychedelic Breath Ceremony. Last Saturday it happened again! And it was so powerful. It is so fascinating to so see how something so fundamental to our lives, breathing, becomes such a powerful tool to access the subconscious layers of our mind. Looking at the participants throughout the journey, I could see so many emotions. The experience is so layered. Each person was going through their own unique journey, but at the same time we were all in this together. You could feel the love and support of our family. Thank you for trusting us and surrendering.
