About — Breath in the Wild

In a world that constantly asks us to do more, move faster, and push harder, we offer something different.

A pause.A breath.

A chance to remember what it feels like to be fully alive.

Through guided breathwork experiences in nature, we create spaces where people can step away from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with what matters most: their body, their breath, their resilience, and their sense of belonging. Whether we're gathering beside the ocean at sunrise, breathing beneath mountain skies, or sitting together in stillness, the intention is always the same — to help people return to themselves.

Our mission & movement

To help people cultivate resilience, presence and connection — through the combined power of breath, nature, and community.

Nature is a biological need Recovery is wisdom Healing isn't linear You are not a machine

Because when people reconnect with themselves, they show up differently — in their families, their communities, and the world.

The world taught us to push. We're learning, together, to pause.

Join Our Movement

Breath in the Wild is more than a breathwork session. It's a community learning to slow down, reconnect, and find their way back to themselves.

If any of this lands, come breathe with us.

Come walk beside the ocean. Come watch the sun rise. Come remember what it feels like to be fully alive — one breath at a time.

My story

My name is Kari Peters.

Breath in the Wild was born from my own journey of learning that pushing harder is not always the answer.

For most of my life, I was driven by achievement. I built a successful international career in research and leadership, working with global teams and helping organisations understand human behaviour and decision-making. Like many people, I became very good at pushing through.

Pushing through stress.Pushing through exhaustion.Pushing through uncertainty.

Then life had other plans.

In 2025, I was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer for the second time. What followed was chemotherapy, surgery, radiation, and a complete re-evaluation of everything I thought I knew about strength, health, and resilience.

When treatment ended, I expected life to return to normal. Instead, I experienced a severe immune-related pituitary and adrenal injury that left me exhausted and unable to function the way I once had. The strategies that had carried me through my career no longer worked. My body was asking something different of me.

Not more effort.Not more determination.Not more pushing.It was asking me to listen.

Kari, on the coast that brought her back

Through breathwork, nature, cold-water immersion, and nervous system recovery, I began rebuilding my relationship with myself. Not by becoming someone new — but by returning to who I already was, beneath the striving.

Breath in the Wild grew from that experience. It is the space I wish had existed when I needed it most.
