The Breathlife Micro-Community
A Space for the Person behind
the Project.
A Micro Community for Professionals in Lisbon seeking roots, growth and
connection.
We meet once per month for a Circle.
4hr Sessions designed to engage meaningfully with a small group of people,
who you will actually get to know over
time.
Through in depth, facilitated, conversations and somatic
exploration.
Combined with one to one support for ongoing growth and
integration.
It’s not about getting to know more people,
but about getting to know people more.
And so ourselves.
This community will have a maximum of 30 people, ever.
Who are the others?
Just like you they were intrigued by this concept.
They are entrepreneurs, freelancers, leaders, artists…
And yet not exactly like you, which is what makes it rich.
They came to Lisbon, for different reasons.
Building businesses, developing products, being in nature.
They met a lot of new people, but there was something missing.
Something ongoing, grounding, maskless.
A modern version of a tribe perhaps.
But maybe the question isn’t about who else will show up.
Maybe it is: “How truthful do I dare to show up?”
Curious? Come to one of our Try-Outs.
Why Somatics
To truly disconnect, without the guilt or pressure of feeling unproductive.
So you can control the mind again, relax during downtime, and genuinely connect with the people around you.
To build the skills to enjoy your journey sustainably—without sacrificing your well-being.
To understand your nervous system: using the data your body is sending you in your favour; there’s science to this.
Why Conversations
Running a business can feel isolating.
That’s why we connect with with like-minded people who understand your challenges so we can get to the heart of the matter.
Because most networking events miss the mark.
What we need are spaces for real, honest conversations—where you feel seen and supported.
This requires facilitation and safe witnesses.
Why Matched & Monthly
Building meaningful relationships takes time. It requires consistency and reciprocity.
It’s no coincidence that your closest friends lived in the same area.
But now, your challenges are different, only understood by those who are trying the same.
This is how deep, lasting relationships are built: through regular, intentional connection with people who “get it.”
We meet once per month for 4hrs in groups of 5-6 people for a Circle. We switch up the groups every month. Always in and around Lisbon.
A Circle consists of two parts:
- Somatic Work: Think breathwork, embodied exercises, movement, constellations.
- Facilitated Conversation: Discuss your challenges, be listened to and receive reflections.
Every fifth month we meet for a Gathering.
Bringing the whole community together at a beautiful venue for a deep dive into a topic that feels relevant and alive.
Imagine talks, workshops and great food.
Every sixth month is free of events and sessions to allow for integration.
In addition, once a month you will receive One-to-One support.
This can be one of three:
- Breathwork & Somatic Therapy
- Coaching
- Cranio-Sacral Therapy
We have a WhatsApp group as well for when you need a helping hand, have questions about anything business related i.e. raising funding or need a last minute beach tennis partner.
What a year membership practically looks like:
Want to have a chat first?
Is this truly for you?
Any questions that need answering.

No strings attached
“Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are,
you need one.”
Jane Howard
Breathlife’s mission is to help people feel safe enough to re-establish their relationship with themselves, others and the world around us.
By creating contexts where people have the permission to fully feel and renegotiate themselves back to a sense of embodied self.
