Turn your breath into your competitive advantage

This is not a wellness retreat.

It’s a high-performance training experience for ambitious professionals who want to stay sharp under pressure without slowing down.

In six days, you’ll train your breath, nervous system, and mind through freediving, science-backed tools, and practical coaching.

You’ll leave with a clear system to:

  • Handle pressure with more calm
  • Recover faster and think clearer
  • Perform better—in the water, at work, and in life

Most retreats are about stepping away.

This one is about going deeper.

Freediving - The ultimate training ground

At the heart of this experience lies a powerful idea…

Presence under pressure is a trainable skill.

Freediving doesn’t ask you to push harder. It asks you to pay honest attention.

Under the surface, there’s no noise to distract you. No inbox. No performance. No pretending. Just your breath. Your body. And your ability to stay with what’s real.

Freediving teaches you to meet pressure, not resist it. To quiet your mind while your body wants to react. To stay open and soft, even when every signal says tighten.

It reveals your patterns. Then gives you the tools to shift them — not by force, but by awareness.

Freediving teaches you:

  • Breath control = mind control
  • Calm is not a mindset—it’s a physiological ability
  • Relaxation creates access to power
  • Your limits are more flexible than you think

The Breath: a tool for precision, clarity, and presence

During this week, you’ll learn to:

• Rebuild efficient, functional breathing (the foundation of resilience)
• Shift into calm, focus, or recovery—on demand
• Train CO₂ tolerance to expand calm under pressure
• Use breath to regulate energy, attention, and emotion

This isn’t just a technique.
It’s a system you’ll use for life.
From ocean depth to work stress—your breath becomes your edge.

Meet the team

Charlotte “Lottie” Grysolle

I discovered breathwork on a freediving course—and it completely changed how I relate to stress, performance, and presence. From the very first breathing exercise, I noticed a shift in the volume and intensity of my thoughts.

Since then, I’ve been obsessed with this simple idea:

The body holds all the tools we need—our task is simply learning to listen and use them.

I believe most people are operating with untapped capacity—simply because no one ever showed us how to breathe with skill.

Through breathwork, nervous system regulation, and embodied self-awareness, I work with professionals and entrepreneurs as well as teams at Google and L’Oréal to explore their full nervous system capacity.

Not when practiced properly—and especially not in this setting.

You’ll be guided by certified, highly experienced instructors in a controlled and safe environment. Every step is intentional. We progress slowly and teach the science and safety protocols behind every practice.

You’ll never dive alone, and no one is pushed beyond their limits.

Freediving in this context isn’t about records or depth. It’s about learning calm under pressure, tuning into your physiology, and expanding your capacity—safely, and sustainably.

Nope.

This experience is designed for beginners. Everything will be taught from the ground up—from foundational breath awareness to entry-level freediving techniques.

All you need is curiosity, a baseline level of comfort in water, and a willingness to explore your edge. We’ll meet you exactly where you are.

Fly into Lanzarote Airport (ACE) in the Canary Islands.

From there, we’ll coordinate transportation to the villa. You’ll receive a detailed travel guide with arrival times, what to pack, and how to prepare in the weeks leading up to the retreat.

You should be generally active and comfortable in the water, but no athletic or freediving background is required. You will be supported, coached, and challenged at your own level.

Yes! Nervousness is part of the process—and we use it. You’ll be guided with care and science-backed techniques that help you stay calm, adapt to discomfort, and turn fear into focus.

We recommend full digital disconnection to get the most out of this experience. However, if you need to check in briefly, there will be windows of free time.

No. Everything we teach is grounded in science, physiology, and practice. We welcome curiosity, experimentation, and personal meaning—but there’s no dogma.
