Breathwork for Men

Join Sy a breathwork facilitator and strength coach. He has worked with various men’s and women’s sports teams over the last 12 years. His direction has now shifted toward facilitating healing for others and exploring the role men play in the world, what it means to be a man, and how we define true masculinity. Sy uses Jungian archetypes in his breathwork ceremonies to support deep understanding, empowerment and healing.

What it is

A time to find healing and strength. A chance to journey into an altered state of consciousness. To see life from a different perspective. A perspective with less ego and mind chatter. A moment to disconnect from the external world and reconnect with your inner world. To feel, to let go, to be, to be seen, heard and witnessed.

What is breathwork

Breathwork is a ceremony that invites you to lie down and commit to continuous rhythmic breathing. As the session unfolds, your brain waves begin to shift, increasing to higher gamma oscillations between 30 and 100hz, known as “the mystical state.” This helps you become more open and connected to the music, the words and the environment, often bringing forward emotion, insight and release.

What to expect

Quite literally anything.Visions and insights into your past or present life.Moments of bliss or stillness.Deep relaxation.A full spectrum of emotion, from light to dark.

Leave feeling

You may leave feeling deeply relaxed, lighter and more connected.You might gain clarity about yourself and any changes you feel ready to make.

Why do it with other men

The energetic connection between men is powerful. For thousands of years, men have hunted together, trained together and gone into battle together.There is real strength in being seen and heard by other men. A brotherhood that doesn’t require words.Think of the scene in Gladiator where Maximus is carried out by the other warriors after he falls. Or when the men of Sparta come together as one. That collective power runs deep.For many, this mirrors the father–son connection that was either present or painfully absent.It touches something primal. The ability to witness another man’s life, his pain, his power, and to feel it in your own heart.

Why this matters

Male mental health in the UK is in crisis.74% of all suicides are men1 in 5 men say they feel constantly anxious40% of men have never spoken to anyone about their mental healthOnly 36% of NHS therapy referrals are for menThe pressure to stay strong, silent and in control is costing lives.This session offers a different path. Breathwork helps access what’s stored in the body. It moves the weight many men carry silently. There is no pressure to talk or perform. Just breath.

What are archetypes

Archetypes are deep internal patterns that show up in every man. They include figures like the warrior, the father, the child and the king. These aren’t roles to play. They are parts of your inner world that shape how you think, feel and act.Working with archetypes in breathwork helps uncover emotion, memory and belief systems that are often hidden. It gives those parts of you space to be seen, felt and integrated.
