Breathe into the Summer Magic
In 2, out 2 ~
The sun is shining, the people are outside, the energy is alive and palpable. It’s glorious. With so much happening externally, it’s so necessary to have moments where we ground, we tune back in, and we re-center ourselves, through our breath.
As always, it’s a pleasure to breathe with you.
We like to think of these newsletters as a personal check in, a dose of inspiration, an opportunity to learn something new, and to share all the happenings in the Othership-verse with you 🛸

Featured New Session
With over 500 sessions on the app, there’s likely several you may have never explored. One of favorite newest ones?
Wolves, led by our incredible facilitator, Steve Rio.
In the words of the late psychologist + philosopher, Carl Jung:
One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.
With this practice, we choose to consciously bring love to our darker places.
In this new, altered-state session, Steve takes you on a deeper journey into the depths of who you are. When we have the courage to explore and shed light on the shadow self, we can bring awareness to all aspects of self, and in turn, access inner transformation.
Remember ~ the deeper you breathe, the deeper you’ll go.
It’s a good one. Carve out 25 minutes, get comfortable, put on headphones + an eye mask, and let yourself fully drop in.
Breathwork for Little Ones
While we all feel the excitement with summer, shifts with routines and activities can elicit a wide range of feelings in all of us, especially our young ones. If you’re a parent, you may notice shifts in your kids emotions and behaviors during this period.
According to psychologist Dr. Stephen Porges, each child’s neuroception is unique + similar experiences land differently with different kids.
If you notice signs of dysregulation or anxiety coming up for your kiddo, some simple breathwork exercises can serve as joyful co-regulatory tools for you and your children.
But first, what do we mean by co-regulation?
In education and parenting circles, much has been made in recent years about children’s need to self-regulate or manage their emotions and reactions.
We can better support our kiddos through the upcoming transition to summer break, or any transition for that matter, by sharing and doing breathwork exercises with them.
By modeling a calm state and engaging in these practices, we strengthen their self-awareness and their capacity to self regulate over time.
Learn helpful practices and co-regulation tools for you and your little ones in our article with Mini Mioche + breathwork facilitator, Maya B. Castle 🌸
A Month of Awareness
Each month, we explore a new contemplation theme. For July, we’re sitting with ~ Awareness
When we contemplate emotional wisdom and behavioral change, we recognize it all stems from greater Awareness. How can we practice tapping into greater Awareness?
It begins in this moment. When we pause to ask ourselves, “What’s happening around me, and What’s happening in me?” we move into a state of being, where awareness lies.
Between stimulus and response… there’s a space. And in that space, new possibilities exists, new growth awaits.
Pause. Notice. Breathe. Now, we get to decide.

A Month of Breathwork in Portugal
As humans, we've evolved to live in tribes. We're evolved to be surrounded by nature. We're evolved to seek altered states of being.
That deep connection – to self, others & nature – is what makes the human experience fulfilling.
So, how can we bring that connection back into our lives – while still being successful in modern society? If you were given the opportunity to design and live a life exactly the way you wanted to, how would you live it?
If you work remotely, that's exactly the choice you've been given.
That's why this September, Innate Global is bringing together 25 entrepreneurial people in the North of Portugal. To live together. To work together. To breathe together.
By using the power of the breath, you’ll connect more: to yourself, to others, and to the environment.

Have you checked out our episode on the Fitt Insider podcast?
Honestly, it’s one of the best depictions of the grander Othership vision and the big Why behind everything we do + where we’re flying this ship.
Joe and Robbie discuss:
The prevalence of loneliness and the detrimental effects it has on our individual and collective health.
The way Othership encourages a state of awe, belonging, and interconnectivity - the states that animate the human experience for a more joy-filled life and living.
The power of breathwork and hot + cold therapy.
The way we’ve created social wellness experiences that foster connection and emotional health.
