A guided retreat exploring somatic breathwork, nervous system healing, and emotional release, led by Jake Whan and the Ascension University team, and designed to support connection with the body, the group, and the land where we gather.

May 8th-10th, 2026
Location: Yellow Barn

Yellow Barn Farm, in partnership with Ascension University, welcomes you to a 2.5-day immersive retreat centered on somatic breathwork and nervous system healing, guided by Jake Whan and team. This experience is designed to support a gradual deepening—beginning with grounding and orientation, moving into more intensive somatic practices, and closing with integration.

Through guided sessions, teaching, and group experiences, participants will explore breathwork, emotional awareness, and practices to support regulation and release in a structured and supported environment.
