In this episode, we sit down with Christopher August — breathwork facilitator, author, and co-founder of Beats and Breath — for a conversation that runs from a literal billboard to a near-death drowning on the Zambezi that seeded the mission he’s lived ever since. We trace his path from corporate tech and quiet despair into Peace Corps Tanzania, the medicine work that reopened his capacity to feel, and the slow alchemy of moving from victim to creator. We talk about soul sickness as a cultural diagnosis, the inner child as the keys to freedom, and the Gene Keys as a map from shadow into gift. Christopher names what he’s stepping into next: a healing community in the Pacific Northwest he’s been envisioning for fifteen years, and the abandonment wound that surfaces when you say yes to the call again.(00:00) Peace Corps Intro(00:34) Opening Conversation(06:47) Show Start(08:04) Corporate Life To Calling(11:29) Near Death Experience(17:14) Peace Corps Mission Work(19:35) Returning Home Culture Shock(21:31) Breathwork Awakening(26:38) Sonic Breathwork Modality(29:44) Plant Medicine Insights(33:34) Family Healing And Compassion(37:51) Constellations And Sovereignty(43:38) Gene Keys(49:48) Breath Meets DNA(01:03:06) Abandonment and Big Move(01:08:01) Vision for Community(01:17:37) Relationships as DojoGuest LinksWebsite: https://christopheraugust.coBook: Master Your Breath, Transform Your LifeApp: Beats in BreathConnect with UsStart the Free 7-Day Self-Esteem ResetWatch Our EpisodesJoin our free Telegram communityJoin our membership Friends of the Truth
