Seven Directions® Breathwork Facilitator Training is offered by myself, Amanda Davis, specifically for people interested in weaving the practice of breathwork into their work through an Anti-Oppression and Anti-Racism lens. Seven Directions® Breathwork is an internationally recognised school known for its integrity, trauma-aware structure, and rigorous ethics-led approach to breathwork.

I have personally trained with and been mentoring global cohorts with Seven Directions®, and I am proud to be part of their community. Their values, ethics, and depth of care align strongly with my commitment to anti-oppressive cultural and racial education, equity, integrity, and justice-driven wellbeing, for people of all heritage, ethnicity, orientation and background. I am honoured to bring their training forward specifically for people wishing to develop their facilitation and business with extended compassionate perception and discernment of the diasporic affect for the majority, and to narrow the gap between global and community division, coherence and mono-culturalism. 

When we look at the world of wellness, health and wellbeing, even within the evidence-based structures which form what we can access and where, we can clearly see how under-represented we are as a facilitators and space-holders in our indigeneity. So, let me explain who this training is for and why.

Who This Training Is For

This training is for people of all backgrounds who feel called to explore breathwork through a deeper lens of culture, ancestry, belonging, identity and human connection. While my work is deeply informed by anti-oppression and anti-racism, this training isn't simply about race or colour. It is about understanding the wider impact of diaspora, displacement and disconnection on the human experience.

We are living in a world where many of us have become increasingly disconnected from our bodies, our communities, our cultures, our ancestral knowledge and the natural world. Migration, colonisation, globalisation, social systems and modern ways of living have all shaped how we understand ourselves and one another. We each carry direct and indirect experience of the diaspora, whether through ancestral stories, displacement, cultural loss, migration stories, inherited survival patterns or a sense of not quite belonging anywhere. Many of us, regardless of heritage (known or unknown), know what it is to feel disconnected from ourselves and this matters in breathwork because when we hold space for another person, we are not simply working with a breath pattern or a nervous system. We are meeting a whole human being, shaped by their history, culture, relationships, environment, identity and sense of belonging, so the more we understand this, the more responsibly we can facilitate.

This training invites you to develop a more compassionate perception of the human experience, to become curious about what people carry, what has shaped them, what they have inherited and what they may be trying to reclaim. It is also an invitation to look at the ways wellness itself can become disconnected from culture, community and context. Breathwork is often presented as something new, when breathing is something we have always done. The practices surrounding breath, embodiment, altered states, ceremony, rhythm and connection have existed across human cultures for generations.

So, with this training and our own self-discovery, we can begin to ask:

“How do I meet this person where they are?”

“What might their body, culture and lived experience be telling me?”

“How can I facilitate without imposing my own understanding onto someone else's experience?”

“How do I create spaces where people can reconnect with their own knowing?”

It is common for people considering working in this way to feel they do not know enough to begin this training, this is something many of us experience as part of our experiences of rejection sensitivity or imposter-syndrome because of our life experiences. This is why this training is gentle and educational in approach, with a beginners curious mindset being called in as a pre-requisite to begin the work; we should all start somewhere and the beginning is a good place!

Why is this work not only for "People of Colour or the Global Majority"?

You do not need to identify as a particular race, ethnicity, culture, gender or community to care about the impact of disconnection, displacement and oppression, or to want to become a more conscious and ethical facilitator. Quite simply there is a need for curiosity, humility and a willingness to keep learning because ultimately, this work is about connection. We know that through reconnecting with ourselves, we can begin connect a little more between one another to co-create a healthier and more ethical existence.

Breathwork is not new or specific to one type of person however it might be portrayed through the media and word of mouth at times, it is important to recognise the origins of breath being an ancient human technology carried by cultures across the world long before modern wellness industries existed. For many of us, separation from our homelands, cultures, families and ancestral knowledge has created a deep disconnection from our own breath, body and belonging. Reclaiming these practices, and supporting others to do so by holding well-educated spaces, allows us to return to our authenticity - to remember that we already carry innate tools for grounding, healing and connection. When we honour where these practices come from, we become more resourced and more aligned, enabling us to hold spaces with integrity and cultural truth. In doing so, we can encourage others to explore the wisdom we all carry: the breath-based skills and natural abilities that have supported our ancestors since they first walked their lands. Many of us have been uprooted or distanced from our true origins, and leading with breath is a powerful way to remember - on a cellular level - who we are, what we are here to do, and how we can utilise everything we already hold within us.

This feels like the perfect time to narrow the divide, truly connect and expand our communities with tools for remembrance and organic growth.
