Breathwork Facilitator Training

with Seven Directions® Breathwork

Seven Directions® Breathwork Facilitator Training is offered by myself, Amanda Davis, specifically for people of the Global Majority and People of Colour. Seven Directions® Breathwork is an internationally recognised school known for its integrity, trauma-aware structure, and rigorous ethics-led approach to breathwork.

I have personally trained with and been mentoring mixed global cohorts with Seven Directions®, and I am proud to be part of their community. Their values, ethics, and depth of care align strongly with my commitment to cultural and racial education, equity, integrity, and justice-driven wellbeing. I am honoured to bring their training forward specifically for people of the Global Majority and People of Colour only. 

When we look at the world of wellness, health and wellbeing, even within the evidence-based structures which form what we can access and where, we can clearly see how under-represented we are as a facilitators and space-holders in our indigeneity. So, let me explain who this training is for and why.

Who This Training Is For

This training is created specifically for People of the Global Majority and People of Colour who feel called to reclaim and expand their breath, their inner knowing, and their cultural and ancestral authenticity through a grounded, ethical, and resourced approach to breathwork. It is for those who want to learn, lead, and hold space with integrity; who want to understand breath as a natural human pattern rooted in lineage, land, and lived experience; and who feel the importance of contributing to collective healing, justice, and liberation through breath-led practices.

Defining "People of the Global Majority"

When we refer to People of the Global Majority (GM), we are naming those with African, Asian, Caribbean, Pacific Islands, Middle Eastern, Latin, and Indigenous ancestral origins, roots and communities across the world. Numerically, we represent the majority of the world’s population, yet through colonisation, white supremacy, and systemic power structures, our communities have been positioned and spoken about as minorities. Using the term “Global Majority” reclaims our collective presence, lineage and contribution. It honours the truth of our global interconnectedness while acknowledging the racialised systems that have shaped, harmed, and too often erased our experiences. It is a term of power, dignity, remembrance and belonging - shifting us away from deficit-based labels into a fuller recognition of who we are.

Defining "People of Colour"

The term People of Colour (POC) is used here to describe individuals who live with experiences of (conscious and unconscious) racism and colourism within societies shaped by whiteness as the dominant cultural and social norm. It reflects the shared realities of discrimination, inequity, cultural misunderstanding and the ongoing impacts of colonial histories that have shaped our families, our lineage, our nervous systems, and our daily lives. People of Colour hold beautifully diverse identities, cultures and traditions, we also experience overlapping patterns of stress, hypervigilance, disconnection and systemic harm across wellbeing, healthcare, education and community spaces; including those we choose to facilitate practices within. Naming this helps us work toward justice, repair and empowerment without erasing our differences.

Why These Definitions Matter — and Why This Work Is Needed Now

These definitions and utilising the tools breathwork offers matter because finding the feelings and language shapes how we understand ourselves, relate to one another, recognise and live within or beyond the systems that continue to cause racialised harm. In wellbeing and healing spaces, the experiences of People of the Global Majority and People of Colour are frequently overlooked, misinterpreted or minimised. Our breath, our bodies, our stories and our needs have been shaped by trauma that is not simply personal - it is historical, ancestral, social and political. Now, more than ever, we need healing frameworks that recognise the truth of these experiences, that centre cultural wisdom, and that rebuild spaces where our communities feel resourced, witnessed, heard, strengthened and reconnected. Breathwork becomes not only a personal practice but a tool for collective repair - supporting us to reclaim what has been fractured, suppressed or forgotten.

It is also essential that we recognise the origins of breath practices and the natural human breath patterns that our ancestors understood intuitively. Breathwork is not new, it is an ancient human technology carried by cultures across the world long before modern Westernised wellness industries existed. For many of us, separation from our homelands, cultures, families and ancestral knowledge has created a deep disconnection from our own breath, body and belonging. Reclaiming these practices, and supporting others to do so by holding well-educated spaces, allows us to return to our authenticity - to remember that we already carry innate tools for grounding, healing and connection. When we honour where these practices come from, we become more resourced and more aligned, enabling us to hold spaces with integrity and cultural truth. In doing so, we can encourage others to explore the wisdom we all carry: the breath-based skills and natural abilities that have supported our ancestors since they first walked their lands. Many of us have been uprooted or distanced from our true origins, and leading with breath is a powerful way to remember - on a cellular level - who we are, what we are here to do, and how we can utilise everything we already hold within us.

This feels like the perfect time to truly connect and expand our community and communities with tools for remembrance and organic growth.
