The Alchemy Student Graduation retreat has been highly curated to offer you the most holistic approach to healing and learning available.
YOUR STUDENT BREATHCAMP EXPERIENCE INCLUDES:
Daily breathwork and education sessions: Unlock the power of conscious breathing as you already know it. Gain insights and awareness from holding space for your peers, from angeling support, and your personal breathwork practice. Deepen your knowledge with further workshops relating to your practice, including bodywork, appropriate touch, boundaries, and ethical practice, and increase your level of understanding tenfold as we work in person. Release any final unresolved blocks in your work, and become embodied in your expanded awareness.
Constructive, reflective feedback: Enjoy daily feedback circles to help you grow exponentially in self-awareness and inform your practice.
Opportunity to make changes in your life: Using fun exercises, deep inquiry, and the breath, learn what it feels like to work as a team with your fellow students and discover your unique way of offering the breath. Get traction where you need it most, and transform relationships into vibrant co-creativity in this loving, supportive, community of practice.
Daily yoga/meditation sessions: An essential practice to harmonize the body, mind, and spirit, these daily yoga/meditation sessions are a crucial tool in the development of self-awareness and healing process.
Healthy, raw/vegan/vegetarian breakfast, lunch, and dinner: Nourish yourself on all levels and fuel and energize your body while you work, with our healthy, nutrient-rich, plant-based meals every day.
Comfortable, beautiful accommodation options:Book your place according to your budget and your personality. Some prefer shared rooms and dorms, others private space to replenish and restore. Whatever your preference, we can meet your needs.
Put 9 months of hard work and commitment to your studies into practice with this 5 days of intense programme. With the guidance our teachers and team offer, you’ll develop the confidence to move from student to professional and offer breathwork to the world. Remember that first spark of interest, the moment when you first heard the call? Now you get to see the fruits of your inspiration become manifest. Congratulations!
THE LOCATION
Hidden Paradise
HIDDEN PARADISE is a family-run retreat centre nestled in the foothills of the Alpujarra mountain range in the South of Spain. It’s a serene and peaceful place designed to provide a natural, inspiring, and supportive environment for you to relax, renew, and restore your inner well-being.
Andalusia is important in “The Alchemist” because it symbolizes the start of Santiago’s (Saint James de Compostela’s) journey. He decided to pursue his Personal Legend there and today thousands walk his trail to learn about themselves and their relationship with the Divine.
Enjoy stunning views down the valley toward the Mediterranean Sea at this off-grid power spot. Harness the energy of thousands who have come to this part of the world to further their inward journey.
From our hosts:
A gift from the abundant southern Spanish sunshine!
We have substantial solar systems supplying all our electricity & hot water.
An abundance of sun & spring water enables us to offer you a luxuriously comfortable stay,
with little effect on our glorious planet.
Andalusia
Andalusia’s age-old history has left behind a wealth of artistic heritage. The Alhambra in Granada, the Great Mosque of Cordoba and the Giralda Tower and old town of Seville are all World Heritage sites, but the majority of its towns and villages also bear witness to the peak of Andalusia’s artistic heritage over the ages. The stunning Moorish, Renaissance and, above all, Baroque architecture can be seen in its most important buildings, the castles, fortresses and monasteries to be found throughout the region, complete a hugely valuable array of heritage. There’s more to explore than you’ll find time to manage.
MEET THE MEALS

ANTHONY ABBAGNANO
Teacher & Founder
Anthony Abbagnano is the founder of Alchemy of Breath. He’s also the founder of The Ark in Bali, Indonesia, a retreat center dedicated to community health and emerging consciousness, and of ASHA (Alchemy School of Healing Arts), a retreat and community center located underneath a medieval village in Southern Tuscany.
With 40 years of personal breathing practice and exploration, Anthony has explored many different styles of the breath, including rebirthing, LeBoyer, holotropic, transformational, Sufi breathing, and pranayama. Now he brings his life experience of motivational speaking, shamanic studies, clinical hypnotherapy, Bodytalk therapy, Conscious Loving coaching (Hendricks Institute), sound healing and medicine, and aromatherapy to his breathwork teachings and trainings.
As a result of his own healing journey, including his survival and transformation from a near-death experience, Anthony holds tender space for the depth of journey that some need to make as part of their healing path, transforming what has troubled them in the past into the joy and ecstasy that a breathwork practice provides.
Vaclav
“This experience brought me a clear perception of the reality of my current situation. It gave me structure and calm. I let go of the ever-present control, feeling spacious, my outer and inner worlds together: the perfect ground to make important decisions and roll on light-heartedly with life. If someone thinks about giving it a try…just do it, don’t hesitate! Thanks to all the breathers, thanks to Anthony…you are my family”
Sandra
“It was like travelling to another world, one I can come to whenever I want. I felt a vibration, a relaxation and much more a state of peace. A special place where I don’t need to protect myself from anyone. I’ve been on an astral voyage!”
Richard
“Such a beautiful trip. Went so deep every time. I dropped right into my heart when you mentioned: “I believe in me”. Funny, I had never thought about believing in myself before. Now I will hold that dearly and I wish the same for everyone else. Thank you Anthony.”
Sergio
“This is such an opportunity to connect to my self and to deal with so many emotional things. I feel all the things I’m attached to which have no purpose. All the fears and traumas that I have faced, I now feel blissful in the most complete way. The breath makes me focus on my true self and all my potential. Thank you all for the sharing, the love and the commitment.”

There are two swimming pools .. we are off grid completely all power comes from the sun.. all hot water comes from the suns heat, or wood fired burners .. so it is impossible to heat the pools but one is covered and this makes it at least 10 degrees warmer than outside temp. SO BRING YOUR SWIM WEAR!
