MEN’S EXPEDITION with Johannes Egberts

Yet why do so many men feel alone?

There’s so much pressure to be a bloke, to be tough, to be strong, to not lose face, to keep a

stiff upper lip and all the other trappings that machismo and perceived masculinity bring.

At the same time, we’re told we need to open up more, to show our vulnerable side, to be

gentler, softer, more understanding. Yet we can’t be seen to be weak or afraid.

So many conflicting messages and zero space to pause, take stock and reconnect to who

we really are at our essence. It’s no wonder men’s mental health is at an all time low.

On our Men’s Retreat, we enable men to take a look at what’s going on for them in a safe

and positive environment. Sitting around all day waiting for pearls of wisdom to fall from the sky is not what we do. Our

retreats are action based. We get up, we get out, we get stuck in, we don’t hold back and we support each other the whole way.

Getting outdoors, taking on the elements together, supporting one another through challenges and setbacks, laughing (a lot), sharing stories, good food and enjoying the pure simplicity of camaraderie.

It isn’t rocket science. But it works.

WHY SHOULD I COME ALONG?

If you’re looking for adventure, a taste of the wild and the chance to go beyond what you thought possible, then join us as to the mountains we go.

Over the weekend, you will experience advanced breathwork sessions, informative workshops, guided meditations, stimulating discussions and, of course, cold water immersion. Your local alpine guides will be on hand to help guide you through and gain a unique insight into the beauty of the Snowy Mountains. Swim in pristine glacial rivers, climb to the summit of one of Australia's highest peaks in minimal clothing and reach your highest potential during this unique weekend adventure.

We will be there to guide and support you every step of the way. To help you make this your own journey. To allow you the space and provide you with the tools to tap into your inner superhuman.

No matter your fitness level or what you’re looking to get out of this time away, you will leave armed with the knowledge and daily practices to enhance your mental, emotional and physical wellness and embrace your true full potential.

Johannes Egberts

Johannes has led an inspiring life of tremendous self-discovery, enlightenment, and diversity, even been featured in GQ Magazine, the ABC news and most recently on Channel 7's House of Wellness. Although coming from a rocky upbringing, he never failed to look for the silver lining while staying busy with creative endeavours. Having previously served as a Head Chef, Sculptor, and Freediving Instructor, he always looked for positive outlets to channel all his energy but seemingly hit a dead-end. By a shocking twist of fate, he was introduced to something unexpected that would alter the direction of his life forever – controlled breathing. This relatively untapped field immediately resonated with Johannes, and he has since relentlessly cultivated knowledge on the subject from brilliant minds such as Wim Hof, Laird Hamilton, and many others.

After adequately equipping himself with the tools and experience needed, he started his holistic wellness brand known as Breathless. With all the noise in today’s society, people are more disconnected than ever from themselves and each other. Through the ancient teachings of controlled breathing, Johannes looks to shed light on a lost art that is both beneficial mentally and physically, even spiritually. With world-renowned clientele such as David Goggins, Ludovico Einaudi, A-League Sports Teams, and some of Australia's largest companies taking notice of this practice, the future is brighter than ever for Johannes and Breathless.

As someone who was saved by the simple act of changing his breathing, Johannes has made it his life mission to be a beacon of guidance for those who want to do the same. Throughout this spiritual journey, he has tinkered with countless methodologies and theories, which has enabled him to deliver only the relevant information that will spark real change. The immense exposure breathwork has gotten in recent years has allowed him to speak in front of audiences in excess of 5000 people, inspiring them to inhabit the space between each breath.

WHAT IS BREATHLESS?

Breathless is the space in between science and the unknown

The space between the head and the heart.

Between learning and feeling.

Between doing and being.

Breathless is the culmination of years of practicing different breathing protocols and holistic wellbeing methods, studying under some of the world’s most renowned breathwork experts and researching into the science, both old and the new.

Taking well known, ancient breath techniques with new and altogether revolutionary neuroscience and studies into human potential, we are bringing all this knowledge together in one place.

By learning to become aware of our breath and how it impacts on us, we can influence our health, our mental state, the way we feel, the way we move, the way we live.

REFUNDS AND CANCELLATIONS

Welcome to Breathless Expeditions. We are dedicated to providing our clients exceptional experiences while ensuring clarity and transparency in all our transactions. This Refunds & Cancellations Policy outlines our approach to refunds and cancellations, reflecting our commitment to fairness and customer satisfaction.

Please note: This policy is subject to change from time to time to reflect our evolving practices or regulatory requirements. We encourage our clients to review the policy periodically for any updates.

Last Updated: 15 February 2024

By engaging with our services and making a purchase, you acknowledge and agree to the terms laid out in this policy. We strive to balance the interests of both Breathless Expeditions and our valued clients, ensuring that the terms are reasonable, fair, and clearly communicated.

Timing of payments 

Please be advised that full payment for any of our offerings is required six weeks prior to the commencement of the service or event, except for those customers who have opted for a payment plan arrangement. This policy ensures that we can manage our bookings and associated costs effectively, especially for arrangements that require advance commitments such as accommodation, food and appropriate staff for events and expeditions.

1. Deposits are refundable until the expiry of a cooling-off period of 14 days.
2. If you have made the full payment and wish to cancel with at least 60 days' notice prior to the course, expedition or retreat start date, you will receive a full refund less your deposit as stated above.
3. If you have made the full payment and wish to cancel at least 30 to 59 days prior to a retreat start date, you will receive a 50% refund less your deposit 
4. Cancellations within 29 days of the start date may receive a 15% refund (less the deposit) if the spot can be filled; otherwise, the payment is non-refundable. 

Deposits are defined as either a $1,000 prepayment or the first (and possibly second) payment plan instalment that cumulatively equals at least $1,000. This deposit is non-refundable after a 14-day cooling-off period.

Payment Plans

We believe our transformative experiences should be accessible to everyone. Our payment plans are designed to provide financing options for those unable to pay upfront, though they incur additional costs due to the interest charged to offset our risk. The same cancellation fees as outlined above apply to clients on payment plans. This means:

• After the initial deposit, a 14-day cooling-off period is included, during which a full refund can be claimed and all access removed.
• All subsequent payments are non-refundable. Early termination of the agreement by a participant or client necessitates the payment of all remaining dues. Failure to complete the payment may result in the removal of course access.
• Each monthly instalment is due every 30 days from the initial deposit date. Clients are obligated to fulfil all payments, even if the agreement is terminated early by the client, subject to the terms herein, including potential late payment fees for delayed payments.

This policy aims to clarify the terms surrounding payments, cancellations, and refunds, ensuring transparency and understanding for all our clients.

We look forward to sharing in experiences together.
