PLEASE READ ON TO LEARN ABOUT OUR PLANS FOR BOTH OUR URBAN CENTER AND OUR TROPICAL RETREAT CENTER!
THANK YOU,

ENERGY OF BREATH INSTITUTE
Partnership, Coalition, Our Own Center, or Rental Proposal:
Energy of Breath Institute's Directors Rohi Custage and Giten Tonkov would like to collaborate with other interested parties to create a beautiful and harmonious space which is utilized to its fullest potential,
offering a variety of high-quality workshops, trainings, classes, dance and cultural events, and holistic healing services, as well as being a resource for a growing community of diverse cultures.
The collaboration can be arranged as a partnership with another company to share the space, or working with benefactors who will fund our own space, or we can rent space from an existing organization, or we can rent space to fellow organizations if we have our own space. We are open to suggestion and new ideas in terms of how to create a new center that can become our home, and community for those desiring to become involved.
Energy Of Breath Institute can contribute in the following ways
(and we are open to discussing what will be the amount of classes we can offer that works best for accommodating all groups involved in the new center):
We would use two of the session/healing rooms for 20 hours a week each
for our private breath, bodywork, Reiki, and counseling sessions.
We would offer a variety of weekly classes, workshops, trainings, and events, such as the following:
We also have several special theme events and day-long/weekend-long workshops that we can
schedule, such as:
Every Late Spring (May-June) and Fall (September-October) we will offer our BioDynamic Breathwork Practitioner Training.
This training is 205 hours, and takes place over six weeks--with classes held
on three 3-day weekend intensives, and three 2-day weekend intensives.
We will also bring in guest therapists to co-lead week-long group process intensives and trainings with us in special skills such as Rebalancing Bodywork, Co-Dependency, Family & Systemic Constellations, Trauma Healing, Primal Rebirthing, Breath and Dance, and the Path Of Love Intensive.
Twice a year we will also hold a performance of the Breathing Dance Troupe, and schedule weekly 3-hour rehearsal sessions for the Troupe.
We travel yearly to Pune, India, to teach mid-January to mid-March, so we would not be giving sessions in NYC during that time, but our trainees can continue to lead the daily meditations and weekly classes.
We also lead a yearly Shamanic Breath retreat in Costa Rica every December, plus our BioDynamic Breathwork Practitioner month-long intensive every July starting 2010 at Guaria De Osa in Costa Rica (www.guariadeosa.com).
What we would love to have in a space:
We envision having a center that is located in an accessible area as close to Union Square as possible in New York City, with easy access to public transportation.
A space 2500 to 4000 square feet in size is ideal, with high ceilings as well.
The large studio/performance space/group room (1200 square feet) would have a sprung wood or marley floor, portable ballet barres, a mirrored wall that can be covered with curtains, and a state-of-the art sound system and DJ booth. There would also be special lighting for performances and workshops, plus flexible seating and wings for performances.
Supplies for the studio/group room would include chairs, floor cushions, thick foam mats for breath sessions, yoga mats, blankets, sheets.
The studio/group room would also be adequately soundproofed.
The 3-4 healing session rooms (300 square feet or so) would all be soundproofed and have massage tables, thick foam mats for breath and thai bodywork, cd players/ipod speakers, padded walls (and maybe carpeted floors) for sound absorption and bioenergetics, and floor cushions.
It would be ideal to have four healing session rooms so there is space for renting out to a variety of healing practitioners.
One of the healing rooms could be larger than 300 square feet in order to lead small groups in it.
In the reception area we also envision having a community social space, which can also be used for retail, a healthy cafe, and art gallery.
We would also like to have office space for administrative purposes--so our staff can manage our schedule and events.
We find it very important to consult a Feng Shui expert when finding the right location for the center, and for the interior layout and design of the space and the rooms, as well as materials and decorations used. This is very important for harmonious energy flow and for prosperity and business success.
We would also be very pleased for the center's design to be based on green methodologies.
ENERGY OF BREATH INSTITUTE'S TROPICAL CENTER
Help us take our work from the urban jungle to the real one!
Our path is to support healing, meditation, rejuvenation, and personal growth. Our vision is to have a permanent space in a lush tropical paradise, an environment which supports meditation by pleasing all the senses. We are planning to open a meditation center and spa which will become a sanctuary for urban seekers, a place where meditators can participate in groups and ecological adventures, enjoying the pristine environment and nourishing live vegan food (and occasional freshly caught fish).
We highly appreciate your generous financial contribution, which will support us in bringing this dream to reality for everyone to benefit from and enjoy.
We are also open to suggestions, business liaisons, and creative collaborations and ideas. Contact us with your suggestions and requests at info@EnergyOfBreath.com.
Support our Dream *your contribution will entitle you to special invitations and offers for participation in our workshops and retreats.
Here is a plan for what we will offer at our center:
