Release trauma, unlock potential
A 9-month journey to profound healing and lasting transformation
February 6-November 6, 2025
The journey of personal development and healing takes time. While a single Effiji Breathwork session can create profound shifts, true transformation requires sustained effort.
The Trauma Release Program is designed to guide participants through a comprehensive process, mirroring the nine-month birth cycle. This approach allows the time and space to deeply understand and engage with the patterns in your life that are tied to your unique Trauma Code.
Over the course of the program, you’ll not only experience powerful breakthroughs but also have the time to integrate them and move through the different stages of healing and integration.
Through a combination of Effiji Breathwork, Taoist movement, personalized spiritual practice, group sessions, and individualized feedback from Sarah and me, you’ll repeatedly revisit and refine the lessons and patterns that arise. The benefit of this long-form program is that by the end, you’ll have gained tools and practices that will serve you for the rest of your life.
You’ll come away with a deep understanding of your life potential and a clearer sense of the lessons you need to learn to unlock that potential. The changes you’ll experience will be profound, measurable, and lasting.

Integration Retreat
October 10-13, 2025
San Rafael, CA
The Integration Retreat is a sacred time to celebrate our year’s journey, reflect on our progress, and prepare for the final month with renewed clarity and purpose.
This program is for individuals who are deeply committed to their personal growth -- not for those seeking quick fixes or surface-level life hacks, but for those who view personal development as a central and essential part of their life's journey.
The Trauma Release Program is designed for both beginners and advanced practitioners alike, as the most powerful requirement is the courage to engage in the work of releasing trauma.
That said, it is especially suited for people who have already embarked on personal growth work through other modalities or teachers and are ready to take their practice to the next level.
Whether you’re seeking to deepen your understanding of yourself, unlock the patterns of your Trauma Code, or expand your spiritual growth, this program provides the time and depth needed for true transformation.
Opening Retreat
February 6-11, 2025
The value of initiating and beginning together in person is to create an extraordinary momentum, fueling the energy you need to launch into a transformative journey.
In just the five days we spend together, the immersion is designed to take you to a completely new level of awareness and experience.
This is a deep, intensive retreat, meant for those who are committed to shifting the way they live—not for those seeking comfort or familiarity.
Each day will be full, long, and powerful, bringing up a lot of material that you won’t be able to fully process in the moment. This retreat will initiate the work that will unfold over the course of the entire program. The depth of what comes up in those initial days will set the foundation for the inner work that will continue throughout the year.
Integration Retreat
October 10-13, 2025
The Integration Retreat is a sacred time to come together and celebrate the profound journey we’ve shared throughout the year.
In our modern world, the significance of ritual is often overlooked, and with it, the deep opportunity to honor the work we’ve done. This retreat offers a space to reflect, acknowledge, and integrate everything that has unfolded, bringing full circle the transformation that began at the start.
It’s about tying everything together—revisiting where we started, recognizing how far we’ve come, and preparing for the final month of the program with renewed clarity and purpose.

Elijah is the founder of Effiji Breath; sharing his work with tens of thousands of people for 30+ years. He has a unique method for guiding people using Effiji breathwork and Sacred Taoist Movement to reveal the “Trauma Code” that unlocks the map to one’s life’s purpose.
He has composed, created, and recorded eighteen volumes of music created specifically for Effiji Breathwork and 6 volumes specifically related to the 6 stages of Effiji Breath which can be found on all streaming services.
He is also the author of three books: The Trauma Code; Uncover the Hidden Map to Your Life’s True Purpose, A Liberated Life ; Effiji Breathwork and the process of freeing your mind (2021) and What’s In Your Roots; Making the Unconscious Conscious (2012).
Sarah Charmoli
In 2012, Sarah was living in Los Angeles, chasing her dream as an actress while running a dog-walking business for some pretty well-known clients. When things didn’t pan out as she hoped, she found herself in the Bay Area, helping a friend of Elijah Nisenboim’s, founder of Effiji Breathwork, who was a student of his at the time. Within a month, she was diving into the admin side of Effiji, and before long, she was running the whole show. Little did she know, this journey would take her around the world over the next eight years, transform her into a guide and teacher for thousands.
Fast forward to late 2019: on a train from Beijing to Shanghai, Sarah and Elijah made the decision to become 50/50 business partners and co-teachers at Effiji. We were ready to tackle the ups and downs of the wellness world together—just in time for Covid to throw a wrench in our plans.
In Human Design, Sarah embodies what’s known as “the vessel of love.” She creates an atmosphere filled with unconditional love, engaging with others passionately and from the heart. She skillfully handles the admin and business side of Effiji, allowing others to explore their true selves in a nurturing environment, as well as offering her own sessions monthly in Louisville, Lexington, and Southern Indiana.
