All of us were once children filled with light, curiosity, and wonder. Small and vulnerable, we had to figure out how to stay safe and find belonging in the world we grew up in.

  • Being kids, we had limited resources or solutions when we felt scared or overwhelmed. 

  • We didn’t decide where we lived or who our family was. 

  • We couldn’t get in our car to leave or end a relationship when we were feeling scared. 

We simply had to make the best of our circumstances and what our caregivers gave us. 

Many times, the best option in overwhelming situations was to move our attention in an attempt to “turn down” the volume of whatever was “too much” or upsetting to us. Ultimately, five options arose to turn down that volume:

  • Leave our body

  • Merge with others in the hope they could meet our needs

  • Hunker down and endure the storm

  • Get aggressive in an attempt to get what we want

  • Become rigid and follow the rules

These are the 5 Personality Patterns we all relied on to make it to adulthood.

However...

  • ➔ Strategies become habits

  • ➔ Habits become hardwired

  • ➔ Hardwired habits become our personality patterns

The good news is that these personality patterns are not who you are. It’s not your most authentic expression. 

In fact, your personality patterns are what keep your truest self from shining through.

Underneath your personality patterns is where you can connect back to your most authentic self.

Join the team at the Vitalist Institute for this one-day breathwork retreat aimed at connecting you back to your soul's most authentic expression through an embodied understanding of the 5 Personality Patterns. 

What to expect at this retreat:

  1. An Embodied Breathwork ceremony for reconnecting YOU back to YOU

  2. Bioenergetics for freeing the physical armoring 

  3. Embodied exercises around the 5 Personality Patterns

  4. A safe community to support you as you engage this deep work

  5. A delicious GF/dairy-light lunch

  6. Integration therapy in the the sauna/hot tub/and cold tubs after the retreat

If you’re ready to step into your full, most authentic expression, we invite you to join us for this 1-day breathwork retreat.

You can learn to suffer less and dance more.

You can learn to find your way home.

You can learn to be human once again.

  • About Micah

    Co-founder of The Vitalist Institute, Head Instructor at the Vitalist School of Psychospiritual Transformation

    Micah’s passion for treating the whole person began during his naturopathy training, when he discovered that in order to get to the true root of health, humans must get back to their true selves.

    He has worked for more than a decade incorporating the tools of psychology, spirituality, and somatic therapy to support clients in finding their innate freedom, so they can create lives filled with safety and meaning and be immersed in the here-and-now.

    Micah utilizes holistic dialogue, breathwork, and somatic therapies to support clients as they return to full embodiment and presence.
