Double Breathwork Retreat - Aio Wira - Auckland
Double Holotropic Breathwork Residential Retreat: A Journey to Self-Discovery and Wholeness
Join us for a transformational weekend retreat at the serene Aio Wira center, nestled close to Auckland. Guided by the seasoned facilitators Vicky Nicholson, a senior GTT member from Australia with over 17 years of teaching experience, and Jiri Hanus, a Holotropic Breathwork practitioner from the Czech Republic now living and leading Holotropic Breathwork circles in New Zealand, this retreat promises to be a life-enhancing experience.
About Holotropic Breathwork
Conceived by Stanislav Grof M.D. and Christina Grof, Holotropic Breathwork is a profound technique rooted in Transpersonal Psychology. It involves accelerated breathing and a dynamic musical journey to stimulate a non-ordinary state of consciousness, awakening your innate healing intelligence.
Our retreat offers two breathwork sessions, group sharing, mandala drawing, and various methods of integration. This practice is beneficial to anyone interested in self-exploration, self-healing, and spiritual growth. Participants may experience emotional release, creative inspiration, inner guidance, support during transitions or grieving, and a renewed spiritual connection.
