A seven chapter journey of self-discovery, founded on the hero's journey, and built across forty years of Anthony Abbagnano's work. The core of our world-renowned facilitator training, now opened to anyone ready to walk it.
Hundreds of thousands have moved through this material with Anthony over forty years.
For most of my early life I lived inside a story I had not written. Privilege, success on the outside, a withering spirit on the inside. It took a serious illness in my fifties to bring me face to face with the question I had been avoiding: who am I, when the masks fall away?
What I found beneath the ashes of that old life became the work I have spent forty years refining. Seven chapters that walk you down into your own depths and back up again. The same map I have used to guide thousands of facilitators in our world-renowned training.
I have decided to open this map to anyone. This is a legacy offering. It cannot be reserved only for those who wish to become breathworkers. The journey home belongs to everyone who feels the call.
Words on a page can only carry so much. Take three minutes with Anthony and feel for yourself whether this is the work you have been looking for.
Your subconscious mind was built in the first seven years of your life, when you were learning what it meant to be loved, to be safe, to be enough. Whatever happened in those years, and the ways you learned to react, became a script.
That script has been running ever since. It is the reason you keep choosing the same kind of partner. The reason your ambition stops at a certain ceiling. The reason you swallow what needs to be said.
It is not your fault. It happens to all of us. And the script can be rewritten, but it takes more than willpower. It takes meeting the parts of yourself that wrote it in the first place.
That meeting is what this journey is for.
You leave the ordinary world. You walk down into the parts of yourself that you have hidden from. You meet what is there. And you carry back what only that descent could give you. Joseph Campbell called it the hero's journey. Anthony has been mapping it onto the breath for forty years.
Pre-birth and the first seven years. Where your story actually began.
The moment you stop ignoring the whisper that says there must be more.
Meeting the youngest parts of yourself with the compassion they were promised.
The descent. Turning toward everything you have hidden, and reclaiming its energy.
The gifts buried beneath the old patterns, brought back into the light.
Making peace with your story. Integrating what the descent showed you.
Coming home to yourself. A new beginning, on the same ground, with new eyes.
Stop swallowing your truth. Find the voice that has been waiting for the room to feel safe enough.
The dreams you have been postponing become something you give yourself permission to start.
The nervous system learns a new default. Stillness becomes the ground, not the exception.
Authority that does not depend on performance. Presence others can lean into without you trying.
The old patterns of partnership and friendship soften. New ones become possible because you have.
The parts you have spent years hiding become the parts you carry forward. Wholeness, not perfection.
This is the road back to who you have always been.
This is a legacy offering. It cannot be reserved only for those who wish to become breathworkers. I want as many people as possible to get the benefits of this work.Anthony Abbagnano · Founder, Alchemy of Breath
The seven chapters open as you walk them, in real time, in a small group with a teacher. One weekly live class. A cohort that stays together for the duration. The depth that only happens in held community.
Seven weeks of live classes, walked together. The seven chapters opened in real time, with a teacher and a circle of others doing the same work.
Place held exclusively for you.
Because your place is held in a small group, the journey is not refundable once it begins. We ask you to feel into your yes before committing.
A short call to make sure the journey is the right next step for you.
Starting this work with Anthony was one of the best decisions in my life. Meeting consistently over a long period of time gave me the opportunity to dive deep into my own inner inquiry. It was so much more than training to me. It was deep, healing work. A connection to myself and to the group. It was one step closer to becoming the person I am meant to be. I found my purpose.
The decision to walk this journey was hands down one of the best decisions I have ever made. As a licensed bodyworker, I had already started a cranio-sacral training, but I followed my heart and switched to breathwork instead. I have never looked back. Anthony's insight and wisdom held me gently but firmly throughout. I found my passion. I found my own perspective. If you are hesitating, leap.
The most impactful thing about my first class was to be able to have the chance to be reborn the way I wanted to. I learned how my unconscious choices get in the way of what I want, and how to change them into conscious commitments instead.
Seeing the links of what emotions my mother experienced during her pregnancy, and the awareness that I was carrying them, is a breakthrough for me. I am awakening to a deeper understanding of what is not mine.
From our first meeting where we retraced our lives back to the womb, I was encouraged to reflect on my personal journey in a way I never would have thought to. It helped me reflect on the pain I can alchemize into gifts. A new ability to transmute pain into colour, useful for someone who wants to lead others into a more beautiful life.
Being on the live call was incredibly powerful, just to witness and be with everyone's experiences and what was coming up. There was so much resonance. It creates the sense of connection, that we are not alone in our experiences.
I have done altered state, DMT, shamanic breathing, what I consider Yang breathing. This feels very Yin to me. It is not just about gathering energy, it is about transformation. Powerful.
The workbook reflection questions impacted me the most. I felt resistance at first, but having that structure as a support helped me get it out of my head and see it for what it was. I have cried a few times with just how powerful being in this journey is. So much gratitude.
For more than twelve years, Alchemy of Breath has guided hundreds of thousands of people to the place inside where the answers reside. Our practice combines the most effective breathwork patterns from traditions around the world into one trauma-informed system, taught by trainers who have studied directly with Anthony.

No experience is needed. The journey is designed to meet you wherever you are. The early chapters open you gently, and the breath practices grow with you as you go. Many of our students arrive with no prior training and find this becomes one of the most transformative experiences of their lives.
Yes. Every live session is recorded and stays available in your dashboard for the full year of access. We understand that life happens, and the work does not require perfect attendance to take root.
One live class each week with the teacher, opening that week's chapter together. The cohort stays the same for the full seven weeks, so the group deepens as the work deepens. Between classes you have the workbook and reflection prompts. Every class is recorded and stays in your dashboard.
No. This is the inner work that lives at the heart of our facilitator training, opened to anyone walking the journey for themselves. Many participants come purely for their own healing. Others find that after walking it, they want to continue into the facilitator training and bring this work to others.
One ninety minute live class per week, plus two to three hours of reflection, workbook, and daily breath practice. The journey is designed to deepen, not overwhelm. Most participants find that the time it asks of them becomes time they look forward to.
This work is trauma-informed, and the mentors and trainers are trained to hold what arises. That said, it is not a substitute for therapy. If you are in active mental health crisis, we recommend speaking with a professional first. You can also bring any concerns to your discovery call, and we will help you assess whether this is the right moment for you.
Seven weeks of live classes, walked together. Begin when you are ready.
