Rooftop Alchemy:Rewire Journey & Nervous System Workshop

What this workshop is about:

What I found is that, more and more people these days are feeling stuck, slightly anxious or dealing with a lot of mental noise, constant feeling of low-grade stress, and an inability to really relax, shut down the mind and simply be present.

Many, including my past self, have tried talk therapy, meditation, maybe breathwork and other modalities.
But for most - something's still missing.

The reason is that most approaches only touch the surface of why we are all feeling this way, or - best case - only provide a short relief.
But soon, latest when we're stressed, we fall back in the pattern or behaviour we actually want to let go of.

What is Alchemy:Rewire?

Alchemy: Rewire is a neurological nervous-system training disguised as an experience, derived from professional freediving.
A layered somatic experience rooted in ancient pranayama, CO₂ tolerance training, and modern neuroplasticity science.

At its core is a simple but counterintuitive principle: instead of breathing more to relax, you learn to tolerate elevated CO₂ — the biochemical gateway to states of awareness your thinking mind normally blocks access to.

What happens in those states is measurable:

• Cortisol drops
• Heart rate variability improves
• The prefrontal cortex quiets
• The heart and brain begin operating in coherence

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is NOT usual breathwork! Here's why:

• 90% of breathwork modalities focus on creating hyper-oxygenation (mostly by hyperventilation) - leading to breakthrough experiences, catharsis and emotional releases.
• These can be great, but when we only practice achieving those "highs" - we miss out on one crucial element: A regulated nervous system!
• Because a nervous system that constantly gets activated to that degree, doesn't necessarily learn to integrate that level of awareness.

Breathwork creates an experience - Regulation creates transformation.

One gives you a temporary state, release or experience - the other changes how your nervous system responds to reality in daily life.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You're practicing a synchronized state where

• emotional clarity,
• intuitive decision-making
• and genuine self-regulation

become not concepts but felt realities.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What to expect:

These are intimate group sessions — limited spots (max 8), intentionally kept small so there's room for real guidance and personal attention.
You'll be guided through the full Alchemy: Rewire sequence step by step, with explanations before we begin so you know exactly what's happening and why.
The breath holds are progressive — we start slow, go at the pace of the group. Nothing is forced.

There will be ample time to ask questions about your personal situation and experience. 
We will diving into in depth-explanations about Nervous System Science, Inner Exploration, Emotional Anatomy and navigating peak states. 

The session ends with a structured reintegration — a combination of vocal activation, humming, and gentle somatic movement — which in plain terms means: we use sound and movement to help the nervous system land back in the body before you leave.

We usually sit together afterwards, have a snack, sometimes play music. Plan for 3 hours and ideally don't schedule anything right after.
You're welcome to stick around and enjoy the evening together. 

The result most participants describe isn't just relaxation. It's more like a reset. A return to the true self underneath the noise.

About Johannes:

At 19, a near-death experience became Johannes's initiation into the inner path. What followed were decades of soul searching — through performing arts, shamanic traditions, plant medicine, and life across six continents — trying to find his way back to the peace he had touched in that moment of dying.

The real breakthrough came through the body. He realized that, when the nervous system releases its grip on survival, something deeper becomes possible — a heart that opens, a genuine felt connection to self and to something greater. That is where his real spiritual path began.

He is trained in Somatic Experiencing (SE) Trauma Therapy, Neuroaffective Developmental Psychology, Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy, Systemic Leadership Consulting, Various shamanic and healing traditions

In the last years he has mainly worked with founders, executives, and high-performers who have everything externally and are quietly searching for something they can't name.

His work has one purpose: to help people come home to themselves.
