Inspired Directions is a curated online gathering designed for students and graduates of Inspire Breathwork and Seven Directions® Breathwork schools, aimed at exploring the intersection of healing practices with critical social issues.
These discussions will delve into the relevance of breathwork in addressing social justice, inclusion, diversity, and the decolonisation of the wellness industry, while upholding cultural and social integrity. Participants will tackle the barriers to accessibility in training, teaching methods and intellectual hierarchy and brainstorm actionable solutions.
The core objective of Inspired Directions is to foster open dialogue around breathwork's role in driving social change, expanding perspectives, and co-creating a more inclusive and equitable future in the field of healing practices.
We are very excited to bring this collaboration to our schools and students!
Kindly note that registration is for students of Inspire Breathwork and Seven Directions Breathwork only.
Who we are:
Hannah Kendaru is an Indonesian-British Breathwork Practitioner and Embodiment Facilitator working on embodied approaches to healing intergenerational, historical, institutional and personal trauma. She uses breathwork as a liberatory tool to bring us back into the deep remembrance of what love and justice means. Rooted in Decolonial Healing and Embodied Social Justice, Hannah uses the breath to remember our connection to the earth, to our lineages and ancestors and re-indigenising our civilised minds, bodies and spirits.
There are 3 pathways to work with Hannah: Breathwork Therapy, Decolonial Breathwork Training and 1-to-1 Breathwork Retreats in Bali rooted nurturing, grounding, and connecting with ancestral roots - connecting with the sacred and decolonial aspects of our healing work here on earth.
Hannah is the founder of Inspire Breathwork and teacher of The Forest Garden: an Embodied Decolonial Healing Initiative. This is a year of learning and weaving, please reach out, I would love to hear from you.

Steph Magenta is a British born Breathwork Practitioner and Trainer and the founder of Seven Directions® Breathwork Training, a school which upholds the core values of the Sacred Circle which adopts a non-heirarchical approach to teaching and learning.
The program fosters an intentional approach to working to change the way that Breathwork Training and other forms of healing relate to and include: inclusivity, diversity, social awareness, ancestry, rites of passage and ceremony, and nurturing healthy communities of practice.
Steph’s life path has taken her down many routes of social activism, mainly via sexual freedom advocacy based on lived experience, harm reduction information (also based on lived experience) and a strong desire to continually speak up and speak out about inequality in the world, which firstly requires our personal awareness of where our own bias exists.
Community building is a huge part of Steph’s work and sits at the heart of all she is and all she offers in the world, and as an elder now in her sixth decade of life, she is finding space to bring more wisdom based compassion to her work.
