13-17 February 2025 .
A Wim Hof Method Expedition is like no other. A culmination of intensive breathing, icy cold exposures and most importantly the crafting of the mindset. You will immerse yourself in the abundance of nature, in the mystical mountains of Przesieka, Poland. Within these days we become timeless, unimaginable amazing transformations can occur*. A group of strangers come together from all around the world and become a strong unit, facing the physical, mental, emotional, at times spiritual limits together, side-by-side, creating unbreakable bonds for life. You are so supported throughout this process. Guided by 3 dedicated Wim Hof Method Instructors who have each individually had their own experiences and learnings that they wish to transfer onto you.
Wim Hof Method.
If you would like to begin to visualise the landscape we are working with, here is a nice documentary to plant the seed of what is to come. Where we are based is where Wim Hof himself began to host expeditions and where he trained the participants of studies to scientifically prove we are capable of more.

Hannah Downey
LEAD INSTRUCTOR
Hannah leads the way on this expedition however she is very much orientated toward giving the power of leadership back to you. The pachamama and the seeker, the Wim Hof Method is a labour of love and passion project for her. You can read from Hannah’s POV if you continue this page.
PS: Hannah will make you dance with her and she is very proud that she has curated the perfect team.

Jonathan Walsh (Jof)
ASSISTANT INSTRUCTOR
Our masculine force in our team of instructors. A strong man with a strong mission and an amazing story. At home in Liverpool he is week in week out guiding people back to themselves through the breathing and cold and in the mountains in Slovakia he is hosting alpha male retreats. Epic! Spoiler he is not only strong but also a very kind and humble human- still, let’s just hope he doesn’t make us do a work out.

Isabell Kappell
ASSISTANT INSTRUCTOR
Isabell and Hannah crossed paths at the Wim Hof Basecamp in January 2023. Two souls colliding for a lovely journey side by side. From Holland to France to Poland to Ibiza, the rest is history. Isabell is a real Wim Hof advocate. She knows what to say always and when not to say. An extremely intuitive guide with a warm maternal presence and a vibrant soul.
PS: no one can hold a plank longer than Isabell. Honestly try.

a note from your instructor-
This all started for me in 2020 when I seen Wim on a Netflix documentary named Goop. He was guiding a group through breathing and cold and he was speaking with such conviction of his story and his cause. I was taken aback. I had never seen such a man. And I had never really witnessed a transformation of individuals so quickly in front of my eyes. The participants were guided through breathing and cold and it was documented really well so you see all the little micro-shifts in their faces, emotions, mindset, liveliness, all happen in front of you. Amazing. And of course Wim’s light and presence is so infectious. While watching I had that feeling of fear and excitement in my belly. I felt called on. I began to swim each week in the sea in N.Ireland, pure freezing but pure baptismal, something was shifting. Anyone who visited me for a cup of tea in my then apartment was literally made watch this documentary. I was in complete awe of how one outing a week was making such a huge change in my life.
I began to look into Wim further, I found you could participate with him in Poland in winter or Spain in summer, I thought to myself, it has to be Poland. At the time, I was 20, for my 21st birthday I was so kindly gifted this experience by my mother. ((Thanks mom !! ))
I made my way to Poland in February 2022, 21 years old, not a clue what I am getting myself into, didn’t even read the pack list until a 1.5 weeks before, didn’t research much of what we would really be doing on a day to day. This is also the otherside of the pandemic, so its my first travel out of lockdown which made it even more alien.
I could write a book alone on that week. My mind opened, it felt as though the whole world was in one place. Wim Hof was everything I expected and abundantly more. I connected to what felt like every emotion known to man. I made connections with people that are to this day like my family. I found my way back to me. I learned how to harness the mind and felt truly alive. It was the most beautiful, transformative, intensive weeks of my life. Words cannot even describe the impact it had. And the impact is still rippling into the future. I have passed onto so many people the method across the world and reunited with Wim many times. When we expedition there it will be 3 years since my first Wim Hof Experience, in the very same place. Suuuuuper special. Prior to this with anxiety and depression, struggling to find my way in the world. The path just became clear then. It hasn’t always been straight forward, life comes in ebs and flows and now I have this practice that keep me company when the road gets rocky.
I do not come as a guru. I do not come with force or with an agenda or with a mould that you must fit into. I come as a woman who wants to pass on the magic everything she has learned. I want you to reconnect to nature, I want you to love life, I want your consciousness to rise up to meet you at your higher self. I want you to transcend your own limitations. I want you to feel happy strong and healthy. I want you to understand you have the key.
Love, Hannah xo

Isa-
“What should I say?! The WHM expedition in Ibiza with Hannah was truly incredible—a journey about self-discovery, and connection in the most beautiful way. Hannah is so much more than just a friend; she’s one of the most talented and caring breathwork teachers I know. She brings this special mix of intensity, emotional depth, and joy to every session, creating a space that feels safe, open, and deeply moving.
Her sessions go beyond just breathwork; they allow you to explore emotions and thoughts you might not usually touch. She really listens and adapts to each person, making everyone feel comfortable and supported, and her warmth and humility make it easy to trust her guidance. She’s there with you every step of the way, connecting with each of us in such a genuine and personal way. „Expect the unexpected” became the theme of our days. Each session brought something new, and having Hannah there to help us dive into the unknown was truly reassuring. She encouraged us to let go of any worries and just go with the flow, creating an experience that felt freeing and inspiring.
The setting added to the magic—the house in Ibiza, surrounded by nature, was the perfect location. The breathwork room was filled with energy, and you could feel how much Hannah’s presence made it come alive. Looking back, I feel so grateful for this time, for the deep breaths, the laughter, the crazy dances and the powerful sense of connection. This journey was unforgettable, and having Hannah there made it all more special.”
