Rottnest Island Weekend Retreat
Saturday 25 & Sunday 26 May
Are you ready to experience the benefits of a weekend of expansive breathwork?

Are you craving internal peace and freedom but feel there’s a mental or emotional block that just won’t seem to release its grip on you?
Then this weekend may be for you.
Join Facilitators Casey Aubin & Rob Symes from Regulate Your State (@regulateyourstate) as they guide two whole days of breathwork and community at Samphire on Saturday 25 & Sunday 26 May.
❤️ We know what it’s like…
After burning out in the corporate world, living the FIFO life for 16 years, feeling failed by the Western medical system, trying to navigate a conscious relationship, and being a Dad (and Step-Mum) of 3 ourselves, we understand how hard it can feel to find regulation in the chaos of life.
The constant modern busy-ness and an increasing list of responsibilities have left us all living in survival mode for too long.
It can feel exhausting and at times overwhelming, but like you, we wanted to expand our nervous system’s capacity to hold more in this life.
How Breathwork Can Help You Show Up Differently ✨
Discovering breathwork has allowed us to start to unwind the accumulated stored stress and tension in our nervous system, given us confidence to find our own voices, and ultimately show up differently for the ones we love.
And yes, while breathing is an automatic function, when we start to breathe consciously a new way of relating to the world becomes possible.
This practice has helped us realise what was really holding us back, and we’re excited to be sharing this with you along with some different breathwork styles and techniques we’ve learned over the course of the weekend.
Plus, if you’ve been struggling with a sense of belonging, we know you won’t have issue with that in this community. You’re about to meet some incredible people.
After the wonderful feedback we received from our summer beach community sessions, and we overheard a few of you say…
“These mornings are so amazing. Imagine a WHOLE WEEKEND of this!?”
You got us thinking.
Around the same time, we were approached by Samphire Hotel (set to be the wellness destination in Perth this winter), who asked if we’d be interested in running an overnight retreat, and it was a full-body YES from us.

“I cannot begin to describe how amazing my experience has been coming to the Regulate Your State events. Moving to a new country & not knowing anyone has it’s challenges but coming to these events have really given me a sense of community. Breathwork is something I had never explored & Casey + the team have made it so accessible. This whole experience has without a doubt molded me into a better human & taught me to embrace myself fully for who I am.”

Here’s what people had to say about our community…
“I’ve been numb to my emotions and pain for nearly a decade. Your breathwork sessions and amazing community support have allowed me to begin feeling again. I’m so excited to see where to from here. Thank you!”
“The first time I felt truly open and like I was living my own life. When I got in my car to drive home I literally cried tears of joy for the first time in my life. Thank you for being a part of that day.”
“Thank you for helping to see who I really am.”
“Thank you for creating a safe space to reinvigorate, find stillness and feel more alive. So grateful for you all.”
“I’ve always wanted to try an ice bath, but never thought I could. Thank you for creating a supportive space where I could do it through your guidance and support around me.”
“Exhilarating! Life affirming!”
What Would It Be Worth To You?
To come back from a weekend away with a fresh perspective? To create some space between you and the constant worrying so that you can move forward with clarity? To feel a sense of safety in your own body that’s yours to keep forever. To let go of the accumulated stress and tension and to remember what’s truly important to you?
“One breathwork session is equivalent to about two years of psychotherapy.”
- Henry Rohrberg, Ph.D
