Product Description
Raja Ampat is called the Last Paradise on Earth, it’s the El Dorado of any underwater adventure.
Raja Ampat is located in the heart of the Coral Triangle. The Raja Ampat Marine Protected Area Network spans over 4 million hectares and includes around 1,500 islands. It has the richest marine biodiversity on Earth and its remote location that has allowed it to escape mass tourism. Therefore it is still claimed to be “the last paradise on Earth.” It’s home to more than 1,600 species of fish, while some 75% of the world’s known coral species can be found there.

Programmes & Offerings
Breathless is the space between science and the unknown, between the head and the heart, between learning and feeling, the space between doing and being,
between who you are and who you are becoming.
Combining ancient breathwork techniques with revolutionary neuroscience and studies into human potential, we believe that by learning to become aware of our breath and how it impacts on us, we can influence our health, our mental state, the way we feel, the way we move and ultimately, the way we live.
As Australia’s No. 1 leading breathwork educational program, we are all about getting out into nature and into our souls. So… get high, go deep and let your breath set you free.
