Sessions
Breathwork is an ‘active meditation’, that gives us the opportunity to go within ourselves and discover the truth of who we are. By saying “yes”, we breathe and relax instead of attempting to shut the breath down to avoid feeling. We locate the stillness in the midst of the storm.
Then the body and mind naturally resume its self healing, reorienting itself towards a healthy balance. Trauma can be permanently resolved, and the shackles of identification start to fall away.
In this meditation, we use the tools of Conscious Connected Breath and Sound Healing to bring us to higher planes of consciousness, to remember and connect us back to our essential nature, and bring inspiration and clarity into our daily lives.
With the eyes closed and lying on a mat, each person uses their own breath and inner healing intelligence to guide the process.
The breather’s journey is supported in a safe and sacred environment.
It is suggested to not eat for at least 2 hours before the session.
No previous experience or training necessary.
We begin by gathering in circle and opening with guided meditation, taking time to get clear on our intentions.
We follow with a brief demo and discussion as to what can be expected during the session. You will then be invited to lay on your mat and encouraged to drop into the Conscious Connected Breathing.
A musical journey is created for our ceremony, beginning with inspiring and tribal music for activating our breath, followed by a nurturing soundscape for relaxation and meditation.
Crystal singing bowls and other sound healing instruments are played throughout the ceremony.
After a period of integration, we offer a meditation of gratitude and close with a sharing circle.
Tea and light snacks will be available after the ceremony.
PLEASE NOTE
- This Breathwork practice is not recommended for people with cardiovascular disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, abnormal arrhythmias, advanced or unmanaged diabetes, advanced kidney disease, contagious respiratory disease, and severe psychological disturbances.
- Facilitators should be informed if a person has glaucoma, detached retina, recent injuries or surgeries, low blood pressure or is pregnant.
- This practice may produce changes to the normal physical, mental and psychological bodies which may include, temperature fluctuations, muscular tension, remembering stressful or traumatic unconscious experiences, emotional releases and non-ordinary states of consciousness.
Breath is our primary source of energy, detoxification, and connection to Life. A medical study showed that deep breathing leads to as much as 15 times the normal amount of toxin elimination in the body. This practice boosts the Immune System, regulates the nervous system, stimulates and refreshes the internal organs. Cardiovascular circulation is increased, as well as, creating a well circulating lymphatic system which produces a cellular environment that is considered to be ‘anti-cancer’.
Deep breathing changes our attitude, perception, and stress level. It gives us the opportunity to release tension and trauma as well as improve our vitality. It tends to shift our bodymind toward the positive end of the spectrum of experiences – often to the point of opening into blissful euphoric states.
Breathwork has the potential for us to attain clarity, peace and freedom. We have the opportunity to directly encounter mystical experience and altered states of consciousness. It helps to attune us to Source and to remember our essential nature.
This practice may also improve the symptoms of anxiety, insomnia, PTSD and depression.
An open heart and a clear intention.. *
PLEASE DRESS WARM! - Breathwork can be very cooling
Please bring a yoga mat, pillow and blanket.
Light snacks and tea will be available after the ceremony.
*Closed water bottles only in the Dojo

It is a deep honour to offer you private one-on-one or group ceremonies. Together we will embark on a journey of self discovery. We focus on bringing to light, deep and hidden aspects of the self that are blocked energetically and emotionally, so they can be released and transformed.
The result is more vitality, peace and freedom in the authentic expression of your being.
I have had several profound Breathwork sessions with Amber. She is such an intuitive,attentive, present guide through the process that it is hard to describe. I would recommend this work with this practitioner to anyone.
It would be difficult to overstate how impactful the experience of Breathwork with Amber has been for me. She guided me through awakening my power and a connection to my body that I didn't know was available by both facilitating releases and giving me the courage to go deeper. Her skill at creating a safe, supported and patient environment allowed for a transformation that I've carried into my life, both personal and professional. My gratitude is infinite.
I have done years of talk therapy - years - Breathwork with Amber is a lifetime of talk therapy in one session! I can't express how important this work is. I was transported to childhood, through past traumas, into outer space, but most importantly, I became incredibly present! I felt such immense power fill my body! Amber's facilitation is wonderfully intuitive and nurturing. She creates and holds a deep, powerful, beautiful safe space which allows one to delve deep into the self.
Amber's private Breathwork Ceremony was an experience like no other! Her gentle and knowledgeable coaching helped me to create a journey that had very positive results on my physical health by regulating my symptoms of menopause, as well as, brought forth a sense of clarity and calm I had not felt in a very long time. I can't wait to try it again!
Thank you for your presence Amber. This work has lovingly opened me up to myself.
I am extremely grateful for the private breathwork session with Amber. I am relatively new to breathwork but knew instantly when I entered the room it would be intense. What I enjoyed most was how I was always in complete control of the experience. It was very challenging and yet transformational for me. This is such a powerful and sacred service that Amber provides. Thank you again.
I have attended 2 breath work sessions with Amber... one group and one private. I recommend BOTH! Amber is incredibly gifted,loving and caring. She KNOWS intuitively exactly what you need and when you need it. If you have never experienced breath work or are an expert or are really ready to shake up your healing, personal life journey then you must check this out... It is absolutely incredible!

Super grateful to have found the breathwork ceremonies offered at Ancient Fire. The space is beautiful, relaxing and very well-held; the facilitation is both grounded and sacred. Ancient Fire is one of the heart-centred spaces in Vancouver where it’s safe to show up and be raw and open. When I’m there, I feel empowered and supported to work with whatever is coming up. Thank you Amber and Jesse.

I just had my first experience with the Breathwork event at Ancient Fire. I was blown away! Not just with my personal/spiritual experience, but everything to do with the place. Beautiful, safe place. As soon as I walked in the door I felt something special. What an amazing Friday night. I’ll definitely be back - thank you again!
Thank you for your presence Amber. This work has lovingly opened me up to myself.
I’ve been fortunate enough to attend several Shamanic Breathwork sessions at Ancient Fire and I’ve found them incredibly healing and helpful. What really stood out to me, was that I immediately felt nurtured and safe. I was instantly charmed by the energy of wisdom, strength, and heart-centeredness embodied by the facilitators. They work together to create an environment that is not only healing but supportive to everyone who attended. Much love and thanks to all involved.
AncientFire holds a space of loving strength and integrity that I felt the first time I walked through the doors. I've done breathwork all over the city of Vancouver, and there is something special and unique about doing it here. It is a place of gentle giants that allows me to release into deep and timeless places. Love me some AncientFire!!!
Absolutely love this place! Amber & her team are amazing! Great energy in this space. Highly recommend.
This was my first Breathwork session. From the moment I walked through the Ancient Fire door there was an overall feeling of being welcome and cared for. The expert guidance from Amber and Jesse helped me relax and feel safe to express myself freely with each breath. It left me wanting more. Thank you for an unforgettable evening.
Ancient Fire's Breathwork Ceremonies have helped me see what is hidden within myself. They have allowed me to further process grief, to understand love, to feel more alive and be more intune with myself and the world around me. I am very grateful for Ancient Fire - a safe haven to be unapologetically raw, to go deep and emerge a little lighter and brighter than before. I have attended over 10 Ceremonies, my own personal experience in each Ceremony was vastly different. All you have to do is show up, be open, be present and Breathe.
I am relatively new to breath work and have been looking for a place to go in Vancouver. My wife and I attended several ceremonies at Ancient Fire. They provided a very safe and sacred environment for us to have an amazing experience. So much so, that we introduced 7 of our friends. I highly recommend Amber and Jesse. Many thanks and Love,
Gorgeous Sacred Space in the city - feels like this place is in its own sanctuary, you forget you are in the city. Amazing people and wonderful workshops on offer in a comfortable safe and open environment.
Beautiful secret safe space with amazing people who motivate and encourage you to be your best everyday.
Beautiful space, very zen, amazing bamboo tatami, nice couches to relax on before or after class. So much to learn from martial arts externally or breathwork for the internal!
For a year now, since I lost my partner, I have been walking around burdened by grief. After just one session of the Shamanic Breathwork, I feel I was able to release up to 70% of my sadness. Amazing! Thank you. I will be back!

Truly wondrous and amazing! I have studied breath and it's effects and practised different methods over the years both privately and through various martial arts. Never have I experienced anything like this. For all who try this - you will have a profound experience!
