— On the Circle
A practice held in common
The deeper, warmer end of
how this practice is meant to be experienced.
Membership is one tier, kept simple. Members receive a meaningful discount on every public session and gathering, first access to retreats and limited-availability events, a monthly Field Notes piece, and an invitation to one Circle-only gathering each season. It is also the path into the Stewards program, for those who eventually feel called to host.
The Circle opens with a Founding Circle — the first fifty members, who join at a permanent discounted rate and who help shape what the membership becomes from here.
The Circle is Toronto Breathwork's small, deliberate membership — for people who want a real relationship with the practice, not just access to its events.

Available to all once the Founding Circle fills. Same full benefits below. Apply at any time — applications open in waves to keep the membership small enough to feel intimate.
The Circle is currently invite-and-application based. Each application is read by Jeyda directly. Onboarding happens manually for the first wave of members — no automated checkout, no bot replies.
What members receive.
— 02 / Benefits
i.
A standing 30% discount on all public sessions, workshops, gatherings, and SUP/canoe experiences. The math works for any member who shows up to one event a month — and quietly compounds for those who come more often.
30% off everything.
ii.
Retreats, limited-availability workshops, and Circle-only events open to members first — often before they appear on the public calendar at all. Some events sell out entirely from inside the Circle.
First access.
iii.
A members-only Field Notes piece each month — longer-form writing, photographs from recent sessions, occasional bilingual reflections. Sent before the public version, and sometimes the only place certain pieces appear.
The monthly Field Note.
iv.
Once each season — four times a year — Circle members are invited to a small, intentional gathering held just for the membership. Format varies: a longer breath session, a creative residency day, a sail, a meal. Members only.
A seasonal Circle gathering.
v.
The Circle is the only door into the Stewards program. Members who've attended at least three gatherings can apply (or be invited by Jeyda) to begin training as a Steward — empowered to host gatherings under the Toronto Breathwork name.
The path to Stewardship.
vi.
Every member is read, welcomed, and answered by Jeyda directly. No automated emails, no marketing sequences. The membership is small on purpose — small enough that membership actually feels like something.
A relationship, not a subscription.
A small, self-selecting group.
— Who this is for
The Circle is for people who've already crossed paths with the practice and want to deepen the relationship — through attendance, support, or eventually, hosting.
It's also for people who care about how things like this are built. Members understand that this is a small, founder-led practice, and that their support helps fund the work that makes the public gatherings, the giving model, and the future Calliope Journey retreats possible.
If you're not sure whether the Circle is right for you, the honest answer is: come to a few gatherings first. There's no rush. The door doesn't close.
Questions, answered.
-
Because the Circle is small on purpose, and because every member is read and welcomed by Jeyda directly. Application-based intake protects the warmth of that relationship. It also lets us onboard in waves — fifty Founding members first, then opening in small batches as the membership grows.
-
Practically, nothing — same benefits, same access, same warmth. The difference is the rate: Founding members lock in $15/month CAD permanently, while Open Membership is $20/month CAD. Founding is limited to the first fifty members because it's a thank-you to the people who join when this is small and the future is unwritten.
-
Of course. Membership is month-to-month (or annual if you prefer the small savings), and you can cancel at any time with a single email. No friction, no exit interviews, no guilt. Founding members who cancel forfeit the Founding rate if they later rejoin.
-
For the first wave of members, payments are handled manually — invoice via e-transfer or Stripe link, set up directly with Jeyda when you're accepted. As the membership grows, we'll move to a small platform (likely Memberful or similar) for billing. Members will be migrated with no change in price.
-
Come to a Gathering. They're pay-what-you-can, and no one is turned away. The Circle isn't the only way in — it's the deeper way in. Plenty of people in the community attend gatherings for years without ever becoming members, and that's exactly how it should be.
-
Open Membership may rise over time as the practice grows — typical for any membership organization. Founding Circle members are protected from that: $15/month CAD is locked in for as long as you stay continuously enrolled. That's the explicit thank-you for joining early.
A small note, a warm welcome.
— APPLY
There's no application form to fill out. Just send Jeyda a brief note — what drew you to the practice, what you'd like membership to mean for you, and whether you'd like the Founding rate while it's still available. Read personally, replied to personally.
