Inner Journey Breathwork is part art, part science and all magic! And the key to unlocking all of that magic is not just learning the technique of the Breathwork modality, but even more importantly, the ability of the facilitator to create and hold a big, clear, high vibrational space.
It is in that space that profound, multi-dimensional miracles of healing and transformation can happen.
We know that it is absolutely critical for practitioners to be clear and powerful healers, so we are giving you a lot of deep, cutting edge teaching and full on experience in the Inner Journey Breathwork Certification Training.

Inner Journey Breathwork is facilitated by our Master Practitioner Gwen Payne who has had the honor of facilitating thousands of people in Breathwork journeys.
People who are experienced Breathworkers, whether personally or professionally, have told her they’ve never learned the things that she’s shared with them about Breathwork.
One of her greatest passions is to not just facilitate but to educate people about breathwork: why it’s so impactful and beneficial as well as how to interpret their experiences in such a way that they can continue to work with the medicine of the journey.
Gwen not only teaches participants how to lead a Breathwork session, but how to take themselves on journeys at home.
The format of the Inner Journey Breathwork training is unlike anything that is available anywhere.
We’ve spent the past 5 years investigating and researching other programs that are out there and frankly, find them lacking.
What we find is that they are either too heavy on online training (which we do not believe to be effective just on its own) or take too long and/or cost way too much.
We want to make this accessible to the people who want to do it, while making sure that the training is complete and comprehensive. We presented our program in February 2022, September 2022, February 2023 and most recently in September 2023. All were incredible successes, so we're offering it again.
What makes this training unique:
The training will be completed over 5 months and includes a 6-day experiential retreat in Sedona, where you’ll learn and experience:
9 bi-monthly online workshops over 5 months. These live interactive online workshops will also be recorded and will be sent to all registrants so you can watch at your convenience if you're not able to participate live.
In each online workshop you’ll:

Dates for the Retreat & Training

What Is Inner Journey Breathwork?
Inner Journey Breath™ is a process that was developed by Debra Stangl, Founder of Sedona Soul Adventures, over 20 years ago. It is a combination of the modalities and trainings she has participated in since 1989 on her own personal journey. Debra first did breath journeys through the lineage of Sondra Ray and Leonard Orr, who created the process of Rebirthing. Their philosophy was that trauma which occurs during our birth can be discovered and eliminated using connected breathing. In her very first session, Debra saw her birth process in a vision (she says it was like watching a movie), saw that her mother was completely anesthetized, Debra got stuck in the birth canal, was frightened and afraid and had to pull and push her way out because the doctor was unaware and her mother was passed out. She came into this life with the birth trauma beliefs “I’m alone”, “I have to do it all myself”, and “there’s nobody here to help”. Debra worked and trained with Sondra over a period of 2 years, discovering and releasing that birth trauma.
Debra next worked and studied with Christina Thomas who was a Breathwork facilitator and firewalk instructor. Working with Christina took the breath experience to an entirely new level, focusing on higher consciousness and an understanding of moving through fear through the breath, utilizing the extreme of firewalking.
Finally, Debra connected with Jacqueline Small, who was the former working partner of Stanislav Graf, the psychiatrist who developed Holotropic Breathwork ™. Stan Graf had used LSD with his medical patients in the early 1960’s when it was still a legal substance and his patients had incredible spiritual and transformational experiences. When LSD was banned, he believed there must be a way to replicate the experience without the drug. He studied the Vedas and the yogis in India who are able to do such incredible feats with their breath. He developed the holotropic Breathwork process which was focused primarily on bringing participants into an altered state of consciousness. He and Jackie had a falling out over certain specifics such as using music and encouraging people to do breath sessions on their own (Stan believed that could be potentially damaging for people with abandonment issues).
When Debra founded Sedona Soul Adventures in 2002, she developed the process of Inner Journey Breath™ which combines the best of all of these modalities. Inner Journey Breath is designed to clear trauma (including birth trauma) and emotional blocks, while also moving the participant into an altered state of consciousness. In this altered state, a wide range of occurrences can happen – connecting with one’s Higher Self, seeing visions, connecting with one’s Angels and Guides, receiving information and guidance, connecting with loved ones who are on the other side, receiving healing, seeing difficult life situations from a different perspective, etc. The results are so extraordinary that one client of Sedona Soul Adventures, a medical doctor, believed she had ingested LSD. Another thought she levitated. People have made healing connections with their deceased loved ones, seen Jesus, seen the Buddha, seen Mother Mary, received valuable information regarding difficult life situations, etc. Each Breathwork session is different, so the range of results is astounding. This is why the Inner Journey Breath is the cornerstone of each Sedona Soul Adventures retreat.
As Debra says, “Breathwork is the most elegant and all-encompassing modality I know of after 40 years of doing personal work”.

Can you imagine doing a 6-day Breathwork Facilitator Retreat & Training in Sedona which will be utilizing, incorporating and integrating all the powerful concepts of “Spiritual Physics,” multi-layered, multi-dimensional healing, shifting and dissolving energy blockages and deep subconscious programming that you will be learning along the way?
In this work, we say, “The healing is the training.” What sets this training apart is that, not only will we teach you all aspects of the breath journey, but we also show you how to tap into an expanded state of quantum consciousness to affect even greater and more powerful shifts.
Whether you are interested in learning this powerful healing modality to use professionally, for friends and family, or just to deepen and expand your own experience, this training will change you in deep and profound ways. By accessing quantum consciousness, you are able to move through layers of energetic programming quickly and thoroughly, facilitating rapid and clear shifts that affect all areas of life.
In order to become certified, you will need to attend the in person Sedona retreat and all of the online trainings (which will be verified).
One of the other aspects of this training which is so exciting is that, depending on where you live, you may already have potential clients. We have so many Sedona Soul Adventures “grads” (almost 9,000 at this point) and they are continually asking about finding a Breathwork practitioner in their area.
We have been stunned to discover that so many places don’t have any Breathwork practitioners or they are people who have not been properly trained. Upon your certification we will be informing SSA grads in your area that they have a newly minted SSA Certified Breath Practitioner. Imagine people who are already hungry for what you have to offer!

Testimonials
Before the Breathwork Facilitator Training I had major life changes and stress. Though it didn't make any sense at the time, I was guided to attend the training and it was an AMAZING experience!!! Coming into it, I had a fear of feeling inferior but instead I experienced complete acceptance and empowerment. The training changed my perception of myself from feeling insignificant to feeling powerful and worthy of pursuing my soul's individual path.
Raedene
My time with Gwen for Breathwork Certification Training was one of the most profound weeks of my life. The amount of knowledge, genuine love, and her ability to hold a safe space for anyone and anything is something I will never forget. I am forever grateful for Gwen. She has left a lasting mark in my life and inspires me to continue to dive deeper.

Before working with Gwen for the Breathwork Training Program I thought that, as a skilled coach who had experienced Breathwork, that I could start taking clients through Breathwork sessions. Luckily I listened to a deeper intuition and signed up for the course. WOW!!!
I discovered just how much deep and professional training is needed to successfully and safely guide Breathwork sessions. I was blown away by how much there was to learn and by how easily and clearly Gwen made the curriculum accessible and relatable.
The training was rich with content and also a true joy to experience. Gwen’s extensive experience allowed her to share with us small but oh so important details that other trainers may very well miss. Now when I’m working with clients I have the confidence that I’ve been trained by the best and the skills to really deliver Breathwork as the powerful and transformative art form that it is.
After training with Gwen, one of my first Breathwork clients informed me that she had experienced dozens of Breathwork journeys with some of the best facilitators out there. After the session she said that it was the best Breathwork experience of them all. Thank you Gwen, I couldn’t have done it without you!!
If you’re considering whether to get trained to be a Breathwork facilitator, I say, go for it! 100%. Breathwork is now a solid and powerful tool that I employ with all my clients. And if you are going to get t

I experienced two individual breathwork sessions with Gwen on Soul Adventures in 2013 and again in 2014 and found the work I did with her to be much needed and absolutely beneficial to helping me lead a more emotionally and physically healthier life.
The breathwork she guided me in was transformative and led me to an awakening and knowing that was completely new to me.
That experience stayed with me, and in September of 2022, I participated in a combination in-person and virtual Breathwork certification course led by Gwen. During the course, I learned many tools that extended beyond breathwork. The impact of that training on my personal life as well as my work has been measurable.
I could say much about Gwen, her experience, her work, and her impact, but I will sum it up this way. Gwen is a deeply caring and committed individual. She does what she does because she is gifted and knows how to connect, make you feel safe, understood, and cared for. If you ever have the opportunity to work with her, I highly recommend that you do.
Anthony
The first group breathwork session that I facilitated during the training was incredibly powerful. Seeing the energy moving within everyone brought tears to my eyes and emotions that I’ve never experienced when working with individual clients. Knowing that I was going to bring this gift to others enhanced my inner knowing that I am following my Divine calling to help others heal. We are all on a Divine path to our purpose and Gwen has definitely found hers in creating and leading this Breathwork Facilitation Training.
Michelle
If you are ready to face yourself; both your light & your shadows and open up to a whole new world of possibilities and a new way to move through this wild world more authentically in alignment with your deepest truth, desires and live your life fully alive, WORK WITH GWEN!
