Move Beyond Survival
The Expansion Lab
From Protection to Possibility
Your nervous system wasn't designed to stay in SURVIVAL forever.
The Expansion Lab is a HALF-day immersive experience that helps you understand why we get stuck in survival patterns—and how intentional breath, nervous system science, and meaningful ritual create the conditions for a life that feels more connected, creative, resilient, and fully alive.
Because the real Work Begins in the body

the EXPANSION lab
Most of us have spent years trying to think our way into change.
The Lab is a half-day immersive experience designed to help you understand why your nervous system gets stuck in protection—and how to expand into greater resilience, flexibility, and possibility.
Through education, experiential practices, and guided breathwork, you'll leave with practical tools to regulate your nervous system, navigate stress differently, and create more capacity for the life you want to live.
Because when your body no longer mistakes the potential of possibility for danger, everything begins to change.
“This training set the stage for the person I am becoming. Kali's presence is unmatched. I felt so grounded around her. If you're ready to change the world with you are called to be...DO THIS TRAINING. ”

During this immersive experience you'll...
Slow down enough to hear what your nervous system has been trying to tell you.
Understand why mindset alone isn't always enough to create lasting change.
Experience the shift from protection into greater presence through guided breathwork.
Learn why your body responds the way it does—and how to work with it instead of against it.
Leave feeling more grounded, connected, and available for the life you're creating.
Leave with a deeper understanding of yourself—and a nervous system that's more available for possibility.
You don’t need any experience to join.
Just a willingness to show up and be in your body.
“I can't say enough great things about Kali and her training. She took my knowledge of breathwork to a whole new level. I’ve done a lot of breathowork, but the first time I experienced Ritual Breathwork, I felt like I came home.”

BEFORE YOU DECIDE
I've never done breathwork before. Is this for me?
Absolutely.
The Expansion Lab is designed for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. You don't need any prior experience—just curiosity and a willingness to explore. We'll guide you every step of the way.
Is this therapy?
No. While the work is deeply therapeutic, this is an educational and experiential workshop…not psychotherapy. You'll learn how the nervous system responds to stress and experience practical tools to support greater regulation, resilience, and well-being.
What if I get emotional?
Sometimes people laugh. Sometimes they cry. Sometimes they simply feel deeply relaxed.
There's no "right" experience. Whatever arises is welcomed with care, and you're always in charge of your own experience. Every invitation is just that…an invitation.
Will I have to share anything personal?
Not unless you want to.
While there are opportunities for reflection and connection, you're never expected to share your story. Many people find the experience just as meaningful by simply listening and being present.
What should I expect to leave with?
A deeper understanding of your nervous system, simple practices you can use in everyday life, and a felt experience of what becomes possible when your body no longer has to live in constant protection.
Is this based on science or spirituality?
Both, but we always keep one foot planted on the ground.
The Expansion Lab combines modern neuroscience, psychology, and somatic practices with the power of intention and ritual. You'll understand why these practices work, not just how to do them.
Kali May
Founder of ritual breathwork
Kali May is the founder of Ritual Breathwork, where neuroscience, psychology, and sacred ritual come together to help people transform their relationship with the nervous system.
She believes many of us aren't living from our fullest potential—not because we're broken, but because our nervous systems have become organized around protection. While those patterns may have once kept us safe, they were never meant to become the place we live.
Through experiential education, intentional ritual, and guided breathwork, Kali helps people create new experiences of safety in the body—expanding their capacity for connection, creativity, purpose, joy, and possibility.
Here's what others STUDENTS are saying
“Kali May’s Ritual Breathwork training stands in a class of its own. This training is nothing short of phenomenal. It beautifully weaves together the power of the breath with ceremony, sacred intention, and grounded facilitation."
AUGUST VAN
"Kali’s Ritual Breathwork Practitioner training was beyond worth it. She not only delivers the somatic fundamentals necessary for safety in this modality but also brings in the much needed energetic and spiritual layers to the experience that help unite the mind-body-spirit connection."
