Students, Staff and Teachers at Trainings:
- RIBA requires abstinence regarding the use of alcohol and recreational drugs.
RIBA recommends respecting the personal boundaries of all participants, including sensitivities in regard to sex. Recognizing the intimate dynamic of the practitioner – client relationship, Breathworkers are encouraged to treat this relationship with the highest degree of professionalism at all times.
- Water Rebirthing; is usually practiced with people who have completed 10 dry sessions.
Rebirthers normally wear bathing suits unless there is a prior agreement otherwise.
- By attending this training we acknowledge that our main focus in being here is to learn or teach Rebirthing Breathwork, and facilitate healing.
- We are coming together as a Spiritual Community to support one another in experiencing our Natural Divinity, to discover, express, and accept our unique, Divine talents and gifts.
As responsible adults we recognize the Divinity, and equality, of ourselves and of each individual here. We treat each other with respect, loving kindness, and gratitude for the contributions each individual brings to the group.
- We recognize that children are especially sensitive and connected to their Natural Divinity, and agree to work together as a group to provide children with extra care, attention, love, and protection.
- We ask that if you have any concerns with these requirements that you please discuss it as soon as possible with a team leader, the group, or facilitator.
Additional Practices:
- Team Leader Meetings can be held after daily Rebirth sessions, for support, processing, and communication.
- Working in Groups of Three is to be practiced whenever reasonably possible.
There are many benefits of Rebirthing in teams of three, such as the opportunity for learning it provides, as well as having the additional presence, compassion, and love. Many people will also get in touch with experiencing both the Mother and Father present, regardless of the gender of the people assisting with the Rebirth. People who have not yet had a Rebirthing session should breathe first.
