Galactic Breathing for Hawaiian Paradise Park

Galactic Breathing for Hawaiian Paradise Park residents runs 90 minutes, $222, and Jason Donaldson lives and works in HPP himself, near Keaʻau, a short drive up on Hwy 130. Online is the main way to work with him right now. In person is by request, at his small studio in the subdivision. HPP is one of the largest subdivisions on Hawai'i Island, a grid of small residential lots cut from old cattle grazing land.

The subdivision is mostly residential, quiet streets, home offices, people who moved out from town for space and privacy. That work-from-home rhythm shapes when HPP clients tend to book, often mid-morning or mid-afternoon between calls rather than squeezed into a commute the way a Hilo office worker might schedule it. A 90 minute breathwork ceremony fits naturally into a day already built around flexible, self-directed hours.

What the session involves

A Galactic Breathing ceremony opens with settling in, light movement, usually a form of Qigong, then guided meditation and intention setting. From there, three rounds of breath, each ending with an inhale, a hold, a release, and rest. The first round alone is typically enough for most people to feel a real shift. The second and third rounds build further, sometimes opening into an altered state with channeled messages or a felt connection to guides and ancestors. A longer pause follows, then a grounded return and time to talk through what came up.

Jason built the method himself from years of distance running, long meditation practice, inspired by Wim Hof and Stanislav Grof, running it as a regular Big Island experience for guests from around the world for over two years before settling into the form offered today.

Why HPP clients book breathwork

A fair number of HPP residents moved to the island specifically to slow down and reassess, drawn by the subdivision's privacy and the chance to build a different kind of life than they had before. Galactic Breathing's active, somatic structure appeals to people already reorienting their routines around intention rather than habit, and some clients pair it with Spirit Guidance Mentoring for ongoing support between sessions.

Gentle, regardless of pace of life

Nothing about the ceremony changes based on a client's background. No screaming, no forcing, no pushing past what the body signals. Jason trained as a pre-licensed marriage and family therapist, and that clinical grounding shapes how carefully he tracks each client through all three rounds. "This is about remembering rather than fixing," he says, a steadiness that holds the same for a longtime HPP resident as for someone newly relocated.

In person in HPP

For an in-person session, reach out first and Jason confirms. Breathwork at his small HPP studio is offered at 10am, 11am or noon, because it gets hot after 2pm. He can also travel to a home by arrangement during regular business hours. Because the subdivision's numbered streets can be confusing to navigate by map alone, he gives you the exact meeting point rather than leaving you to rely on GPS. There is no public storefront and no walk-in availability.

Preparing for your session

Eat and drink lightly for about an hour beforehand, and wear something comfortable enough to lie down in for the full 90 minutes. No prior breathwork experience is required, and the method was built from the start to work for people at every level of fitness and practice.

A subdivision built for a slower kind of life

HPP's numbered avenues were laid out decades ago across old cattle grazing land and forest, and the subdivision has since filled in with a mix of longtime residents and people who left busier lives elsewhere specifically to slow down. That intentional, self-directed pace shows up in how residents here tend to approach something like breathwork, not as a quick fix squeezed between other obligations, but as a deliberate part of a life already built around more flexibility and fewer fixed schedules than a typical workday allows.

Scheduling around a work-from-home week

Because so many HPP residents set their own hours, Galactic Breathing bookings from the subdivision often land at times that wouldn't work for someone tied to a traditional office schedule, a Tuesday mid-morning slot, for instance, used as a reset between calls rather than squeezed in before or after a commute. That flexibility is part of why the subdivision's clients tend to book with a bit more ease than clients juggling a fixed nine-to-five.

Returning for another session

Some HPP clients book Galactic Breathing once and feel complete with the experience. Others fold it into a regular rhythm, returning every month or two as part of a broader shift they're making in how they live. Jason checks in at the end of each session about whether and when a return visit makes sense, rather than pushing a fixed schedule or a bundled package of sessions.

Built from years of repetition, not a single workshop

Galactic Breathing took shape gradually, out of Jason's years as a distance runner, a long meditation practice, and inspiration from Wim Hof and Stanislav Grof, refined through hundreds of sessions run on the Big Island over more than two years. That depth shows up in how carefully paced the three rounds are, shaped by real repetition with real clients of every background, not assembled once and left unchanged.
