Description
Holotropic Breathing is a technique created by Czech psychiatrist Stanislav Grof and Cristina Grof to induce non-ordinary states of consciousness in an effective and safe manner. Through breathing, evocative music and a focused bodywork method we can access expanded states of consciousness with the capacity to promote psychological and spiritual growth as well as facilitate therapeutic changes.
In this workshop, we will experience Holotropic Breathing as developed by Stanislav Grof and as taught in GTT (Grof Transpersonal Training). The workshop will include preparation through a theoretical introduction to the technique and group dynamics, two Holotropic Breathing experiences (one as a sitter and another as a breather), and techniques for integrating the experience. No previous experience is required to participate.
Participant requirements
Upon registration, participants will be asked to fill out a medical screening form to ensure that the technique is safe and suitable for them.
