Breathe Alaska Sustainability Plan

At Breathe Alaska, we are committed to promoting holistic well-being and mindfulness through our breathwork and wilderness experiences. As a company dedicated to fostering calm, clarity, and connection for our clients, we understand the importance of sustainability—both for our communities and for the environment that nourishes our spirit.

We recognize that true wellness is not only about individual health but also about the health of our planet. In that spirit, we’ve developed the following sustainability initiatives that guide our actions and mission as a responsible business:

1. Supporting Nature and the Environment

  • Eco-Friendly Practices in Wilderness Programs: Our Mindfulness in the Wilderness experiences are designed to leave minimal impact on the natural landscapes we work in. We prioritize Leave No Trace principles and encourage our participants to engage with nature in a way that is respectful and sustainable.

  • Waste Reduction: We strive to minimize waste during all Breathe Alaska activities. This includes reducing single-use plastics, minimizing packaging, and utilizing compostable or recyclable materials when possible.

2. Ethical Business Practices

  • Local and Sustainable Sourcing: We prioritize local vendors and sustainable materials for our retreats, workshops, and any physical products we offer. By supporting local businesses, we help strengthen the regional economy while reducing the carbon footprint associated with transportation.

  • Fair Labor Practices: We are committed to working with partners and employees who share our values and respect for the environment and human rights. We ensure that all workers involved in our programs are compensated fairly and treated with respect.

3. Client Education and Engagement

  • Eco-Conscious Breathwork Practices: We offer mindfulness practices that encourage clients to feel more connected to the world around them. Through mindful breathwork, we emphasize the importance of aligning our personal energy with the energy of nature, promoting not only personal peace but also respect for the planet.

  • Sustainability Resources: We provide our clients with tools and resources to incorporate sustainable living practices into their daily routines. From eco-friendly travel tips to sustainable practices for reducing stress and anxiety, we want to empower individuals to live consciously both in their personal lives and in their relationship with the environment.

4. Commitment to Continuous Improvement

  • Ongoing Evaluation: We recognize that sustainability is an evolving journey. We regularly assess our impact, seeking opportunities to reduce waste, conserve resources, and adopt more sustainable practices. Our team is committed to continual learning about sustainability and staying up-to-date on best practices within our industry.

  • Community Involvement: As part of our commitment to Alaska, we partner with local organizations to participate in conservation efforts and community programs that promote sustainability in the region. We actively seek ways to give back and help protect the lands that support our outdoor adventures.

5. Mindful Travel and Community Impact

  • Responsible Travel Practices: We encourage clients to embrace slower, more sustainable travel options when visiting Alaska for our wilderness experiences and retreats. We aim to reduce the environmental impact of travel by promoting practices such as carpooling, using public transport when possible, and considering the environmental consequences of travel choices.

  • Cultural Awareness: We acknowledge the rich cultural heritage of Alaska’s Indigenous communities and work to respect and celebrate the traditions and practices of those who have lived in this land for centuries. We aim to ensure our programs are mindful of local customs and support the preservation of indigenous culture and language.
