ABOUT HOLOTROPIC BREATHWORK®
Holotropic Breathwork® was developed by Stanislav Grof, M.D. and his late wife Christina as an experiential process for accessing enhanced states of consciousness for self exploration, personal empowerment, inner discovery, healing and transformation.
Laying comfortably on a mat, with the eyes closed, each participant uses the power of their own breathe along with the music to enter non-ordinary states of consciousness to actively engage with their own inner healing wisdom and awareness, diving deeply into the psyche and cosmos at large.
Participants commonly report having mystical, spiritual and other-worldly experiences, as well as re-experiencing events from their personal lives and even birth. Others describe their sessions as feeling like “past lives” or having large-scale archetypal energies and qualities of collective consciousness that are experienced directly. Expressive emotions, powerful energetic releases and deep cathartic experiences are are regularly reported to accompany these types of experiences.
Participants are encouraged to work with whatever material is authentically emerging from within during the session and to express what arises to its fullest extent. More will be discussed at the intro talk about the breathwork experience, though it is fair to say we are all just a few breaths away from a whole other world!
After each session the breathers are encouraged to participate in a personal process of creative expression through the use of art supplies and mandala paper. This part of the process is about having a non-verbal representation of the session that can serve as a reminder or reflection of your experience, as well as a tool to begin to integrate your session.
There are two separate breathing sessions during the workshop. Each session lasts between 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Participants work in pairs, taking turns as breather and sitter. Everyone will breathe for one session and sit for their partner in a supporting role during the other session. You do not need to bring a partner with you.
This workshop provides a safe and supportive setting which allows participants the freedom to fully immerse themselves in this deeply transformational process.
This event is being facilitated by G.T.T. certified Holotropic Breathwork® facilitators, Jeffrey Warren, John Stockberger and Melanie Kai Phoenix who are experienced and deeply committed to this work. Creating a safe, sacred space and wide open container for your inner exploration is central to their work for this powerful weekend.
