The Redwood Forest as Teacher
The Spirit Camp Retreat Center, nestled in Mendocino's lush redwood forest, stands as a California redwood healing center that naturally supports your personal evolution. Between training sessions, explore the towering groves, quiet trails, and gentle coastal breezes. The nature immersion offered by this setting helps integrate your experiences throughout the nine days.
In moments of silence under centuries-old canopies, clarity arises, solidifying insights gained through the daily coursework and practice sessions. The redwoods themselves become co-facilitators—their ancient presence reminding participants of the timeless wisdom available when we slow down and listen. Morning walks through misty forest paths and evening reflections under star-filled skies create natural rhythms that support both learning and integration.
Professional Training with Heart
This healer training follows a comprehensive curriculum that builds progressively through five levels of breathwork mastery. David Elliott's teaching integrates ancient wisdom with modern understanding, ensuring that participants leave with practical skills to uplift their personal and professional lives. Each day includes:
Morning Sessions (9:00 AM start): Theoretical foundations, technique demonstrations, and energy healing principles Afternoon Practice: Hands-on facilitation experience with feedback and refinement Evening Integration: Guided meditation, group processing, and personal reflection time
You'll learn professional breathwork facilitation skills, including how to hold space for clients, navigate challenging moments, create safe containers, and integrate energy healing techniques into your sessions. The training also covers ethical considerations, business practices, and ongoing professional development—ensuring you're fully prepared to offer breathwork sessions upon completion.
Community, Connection, and Integration
Beyond the training itself, this retreat fosters authentic human connection. Daily Group Discussions and Community Building Activities encourage you to bond with fellow participants, forging friendships that endure long after you depart. Share experiences, exchange insights, and celebrate collective breakthroughs, knowing that every voice contributes to the rich tapestry of this healing community.
The cohort model creates a powerful field of collective learning—as each participant processes their own material and witnesses others doing the same, the group's understanding strengthens exponentially. Many graduates describe their training cohort as a lifelong healing community that continues to support their practice and personal growth for years to come.
All-Inclusive Immersive Experience
Throughout your stay, enjoy nourishing vegetarian meals tailored to support body, mind, and spirit. Choose from a variety of lodging options—from private cabins and luxurious glamping tents to shared cabins and a bunkhouse. Morning sessions begin at 9:00 AM, allowing ample time for an evening guided meditation, a quiet journal session by the campfire, or a restorative night's sleep under starlit skies.
This holistic approach ensures that every aspect of your experience—education, environment, cuisine, and community—aligns with your transformative experience.
