wild breath- by lisa
Lisa is based in the Scottish Highlands and creates spaces to connect to body
and land through breathwork, nature awareness, cold water therapy and ancestral
skills and crafts. With 'Wild Breath' she offers workshops & retreats and
facilitates experiences to connect to your inner nature, integrate the mind back
into the body, craft with hands and heart, remember ancestral wisdom for modern
times and come fully alive in your animal body.
Lisa is a qualified breathwork instructor, trained as an outdoor educator,
woodland activity guide and is currently working as part-time hide tanner for a
traditional Scottish tannery. She is passionate about rewilding the inner
landscape and ‘Wild Wellness’- where wilderness &ancestral skills and health &
wellbeing meet, and she loves to integrate wellbeing modalities such as
breathwork and meditation into wild spaces.
Her offerings emerged from her own healing journey of working in a stressful
academic environment. After a burn-out she took a deep dive into wellbeing
modalities and dedicated herself to learn what it means to live close to the
earth and in alignment with our bodies, minds and heart.
It is her joy and honour to create transformative spaces for others and to
explore how we can tend to our roots and what we need to fully thrive as humans.
Lisa's facilitation style is directly inspired by nature and she works in a way
that provides guidance, tools and a witnessing presence for people to tap into
their innate wisdom, power inside of themselves and into the healing ability of
their bodies. With practical tools and a deeper understanding of our biology and
what we need to thrive, everyone has the ability to thrive and rewild their
inner landscape!
