Conscious Flow
Somatic trauma therapy and breathwork in the Byron Bay hinterland. Transformational retreats that treat the body as the door and not the obstacle. Conscious Flow is the practice of Sophie Sämrow. She lists her training as somatic trauma and EMDR therapist, breathwork facilitator, NLP master practitioner, sound healer, meditation teacher and cacao ceremonialist. She runs private sessions and group breathwork in the hinterland, plus an online 21-Day Nervous System Reset. Ceremony sits beside the therapy: cacao, rapé, shamanic breathwork and plant medicine integration. The Vision Quest runs four days and three nights of fasting without food or water, alone in the hills, with daily sweat lodges, led by Heriberto, an elder from Mexico trained in a Lakota and Mexica lineage. Overseas retreats go to Peru's Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu and Ausangate.
The Breath Haus
A modern breathwork movement with immersive studios across Australia. Science forward in its language, ceremonial in its effect, pointed at the state beyond the thinking mind. The studios are in Balaclava, Victoria, on Carlisle Street, and at Bondi Pavilion in Sydney, with Burleigh announced as coming next. Events also run at 1 Hotel in Docklands. Classes come in three formats: LSD, a slow flow breathwork into deep meditation; Release, a dynamic, activating session; and Somatic, conscious breathing with subtle guided movement. Mat pilates and sound sessions fill out the timetable. There are also 1:1 sessions, an app, group and corporate bookings, and facilitator training. It suits city people who want breathwork on a weekly schedule for stress, sleep and focus. It is a studio, not a residential retreat.

Paolo Tiberi
Paolo F. Tiberi is an Italian author, speaker and teacher who has worked at what he calls the meeting place of science and spirit since the early 1990s.[1][2][8] He started teaching at seventeen, in Italy, in front of rooms of humans twice his age, and by nineteen he had his own programme on a regional television channel in Rome.[1][8] He left Rome for Australia, and for nine years he worked full time as a flight attendant and set the teaching down.[1] After many years of development, Paolo wrote The Science of Consciousness and the Awakening Series, reconciling scientific evidence with ancient and modern mysticism, and gave them away for free on the grounds that the keys to an individual's own awakening were never his to sell.[1][2] For children he wrote Legends of Altai, a fantasy series teaching values without dogma, which he began in 2010.[1][5] He also published The Rise of Cryptocurrencies and the Re-Invention of Money in 2022, and Human AI Revolution in 2024.[5]

She lived with chronic menstrual disorders for more than fifteen years before a cancer diagnosis, which she calls the initiation that woke up what she now teaches.[1] She reached remission within six months and has been in remission for eleven years.[2][3] She works through one-to-one consultations, a seasonal detox, an online yoga and breathwork membership, and a course of her own, Sacred Feminine Energy Training.[1][2][5] She also hosts the podcast Cancer & Sacred Feminine Energy Truths.[4]
Fernando Berghella
Fernando Berghella is an Australian disability support director and the co-founder of Personalised Support Systems, a provider running two hubs in Melbourne.[1][2] He came to it after more than a decade working in the sector, with formal training in exercise physiology, and he works from the premise that support should be personal.[1] He founded the company in 2018 with a co-founder, Matthew, against the normal shape of the industry: rotating rosters, clinical language, and a relationship that resets every time the staffing does.[1] Their answer is to match on personality and then hold the match in place, so that support feels like friendship.[1] He works inside the hubs, and stays reachable to participants and families.[1] He is listed here as a Community Leader.[5] His current venture is Path Collective, a discovery platform for facilitators, communities and experiences, launching first in Melbourne.[5][7]
