Come to Your Senses
A Playful Weekend Retreat to Reawaken Your Body, Breath, and Senses
May 9-10, 2026 • The Durango Collective - 1315 W. Main Ave • Durango, Colorado
You're invited to join international breathwork facilitators Brittany Lillegard and Gus Hoyt for a weekend retreat in Durango, CO.
Together, we'll explore two full days of breathwork, sensory exploration, movement, cold water immersion, and more to help you rediscover and delight in how good it feels to be fully in your body.
Expect laughter.
Curiosity.
A little adventure.
And the kind of embodied awareness that lingers long after the weekend ends.

Experience Your Body in a Completely New Way
Most of us move through life in our heads. We rush from task to task, spend hours staring at screens, and forget what it feels like to truly inhabit our bodies.
But when you begin really paying attention to your senses, something shifts:
- Food tastes richer.
- Movement feels playful again.
- Breath becomes a tool for energy, calm, and clarity.
- Your body stops feeling like something you manage… and starts feeling like something you experience.
Come to Your Senses is a two-day experiential retreat designed to help you rediscover the joy of being in your body.
Throughout the weekend, you'll explore not only the five senses we all learned about in school (taste, touch, sight, smell, and sound), but also two additional sensory systems in our body (that's right, we actually have seven senses, not five!):
- Interoception – awareness of what's happening inside your body
- Proprioception – awareness of where your body is in space
The Not-a-Timetable
An invitation to stay present instead of watching the clock
Throughout the weekend you'll be guided through a series of practices designed to awaken the senses and invite deeper connection with your body and surroundings:
- Movement practices to explore your body
- Gentle breath practices and guided breathwork journeys
- Natural cold exposure in the river
- Playful connection and partner exercises
- Sensory explorations of taste and smell
- Meditation and nervous system practices
And a few experiences we’re keeping as surprises... because sometimes the best moments are the ones you don't see coming.
Who this retreat was made for
This retreat is especially meaningful for people who feel overwhelmed by the constant stimulation of modern life: newsfeeds, notifications, and the pressure to always be “on.”
This weekend is also for you if:
- You're curious to learn more about breathwork or cold exposure
- You want to reconnect with your body and senses
- You enjoy playful, experiential learning
- You want something different than a typical workshop or wellness class
- You’re a curious human who misses feeling playful and alive
You do not need any prior experience with breathwork, cold exposure, meditation, or movement practices. Beginners are very welcome.

Retreat with Us
About your hosts:
A Friendship Forged in Ice and Breath
Brittany and Gus met while training together in Poland during the Wim Hof Method Master Instructor program.
Bonding over breathwork, cold exposure, and a shared love of curiosity and play, they quickly realized they both approach these practices in the same way:
Accessible, experiential, and grounded in joy rather than intensity.
Together they create environments where people feel safe to explore, laugh, and discover what their bodies are capable of.
Gus Hoyt
Based in the UK, Gus is an author, breathwork coach, and the founder of Breath and Ice, and BECOME: breathwork teacher training.
Gus first became fascinated with the power of breath and the human nervous system through free-diving off the Dorset coast.
His path has taken him through a wide range of roles, including professional chef, environmental campaigner, and city representative, before eventually returning fully to breathwork and coaching.
Gus also has a special connection to Durango. From 2005 to 2009 he lived and worked in town, including time spent at the legendary Louisa’s Movie House, where locals may remember him commuting to work by canoe along the Animas.
Brittany Lillegard
Brittany is a breathwork facilitator and the founder of Move Breath. She has traveled the world leading immersive breathwork experiences at festivals and launched a breathwork facilitator training in 2025.
Her work blends modern breath science with embodied practices, inviting people to explore their inner landscape with curiosity rather than intensity.
Known for her grounded, compassionate facilitation style, Brittany creates spaces where participants feel safe to explore, experiment, and discover new ways of relating to their breath and body.
After spending nearly a decade living abroad (New Zealand, India, Netherlands) and traveling nomadically, Brittany recently chose to call Durango home.
