Infused Breathwork for Couples
A plant medicine journey of shared exploration and embodiment
Returning January 2026 | Baltimore, MD
We come back to the body when words are not enough.
Partnership invites us to dance between intimacy and individuality, tenderness and tension. And sometimes, words are not enough to bridge the distance between two hearts. This workshop offers couples a somatic toolbox—practices that reach beneath language—supporting deeper connection, repair, and embodied presence with one another.
Join us for a different kind of date night.
In this immersive experience, New Old Ways Lead Practitioner Charlotte James and husband, Clinical Respiratory Therapist and Certified Breathworker Jevon Hamlet will guide couples through three foundational breathing techniques they have been using for year for co-regulation:
Breath of Connection: syncing breath as a gateway to attunement,
Breath of Trust: a practice of reciprocity and union,
Echo Breath: cultivating rhythm, resonance, and spacious intimacy.
Following these shared practices, we will guide couples through a canni and breathwork journey—an opportunity to shed layers of defense, return to essence, and touch into wholeness together. The experience will close with a sharing circle and grounding elixir, beginning to integrate what has been felt and learned into the body and into the relationship.
This gathering is both a ceremony and a skill-building space. You will leave not only with a profound shared experience, but also with somatic tools you can return to again and again—supporting intimacy, repair, and mutual flourishing in your partnership.
You don’t need any previous experience with plant medicine or breathwork to join—just a willingness to show up with your partner, breathe, and explore.
Why infused breathwork:
This workshop brings together the power of Plant Medicine and Breathwork —each carrying their own profound healing qualities. When combined, they create a unique pathway for deeper connection, and presence.
Benefits of Sacred Herb (Canni):
Supports relaxation and nervous system regulation
Enhances sensory awareness and emotional openness
Invites playfulness, and softening of defenses
Can help quiet the mind so couples can connect from the heart and body
Benefits of Breathwork:
Releases tension and stored stress from the body
Improves emotional regulation and resilience
Builds presence and attunement to self and partner
Offers a natural way to access expanded states of consciousness
We combine Sacred Herb with Breathwork because it amplifies the body’s natural ability to heal while in a safe, supported container for deeper intimacy and trust.

Certified Clinical Respiratory Therapist and Breathwork FacilitatorJevon was born into a difficult relationship with the breath. He inherited his mother’s asthma. The challenges presented by asthma would go on to mold him and direct him towards a life as a healer.
Jevon completed his degree in Respiratory Care Therapy in 2006 and began practicing at the renowned Johns Hopkins Hospital. Over the next two decades, he would go on to work in a variety of clinical settings including: Emergency, Intensive Care, pediatrics, neonatal, geriatric, and homecare. Through all this diverse experience, it was homecare that would have the most profound impact.
After spending many years in patient homes building intimate care-based relationships, Jevon gained a framework for a more nuanced understanding of how the breath, or lack of breath, shapes us all.
During the pandemic Jevon became aware of the ancient practice of breathwork and dove into studying in the Alchemy of Breath 9-month facilitator training. Despite his years of experience as an RT and training as a facilitator, he remained reluctant to share his gifts with the world.
Today, after more than 40 years as a breather, he is stepping more deeply into his power so that he may share his gifts with those who are ready to receive.
