Holotropic Breathwork 

was developed by Stanislav Grof M.D. and Christina Grof, two leading pioneers in the field of Transpersonal Psychology. The word “holotropic” (from the Greek words “holos”and “trepein”) can be described as the journey or movement toward wholeness.

Holotropic Breathwork sessions use accelerated breathing and a dynamic musical journey as a method of entering into a non-ordinary state of consciousness. A natural mobilizing process is then activated within the psyche which allows for the emergence of one’s own “inner healing intelligence” to guide the session. Facilitators offer support and energy-release bodywork as needed. One day workshops include two breathwork sessions in the role of breather and sitter, group sharing, mandala drawing and exploring methods of integration. Holotropic Breathwork is of value to anyone that is interested in self-exploration, self-healing and spiritual awareness.

Some of the benefits and results of Holotropic Breathwork are:  
• powerful tool of self-exploration  
• release of emotional and energetic blocks  
• creative inspiration  
• inner guidance and insights  
• support during times of transition or grieving  
• working with family of origin issues  
• exploration of the emotional connection to physical ailments  
• renewed spiritual connection

 

Sweat Lodge

Are heated dome-shaped structures used by Indigenous peoples during certain purification rites and as a way to promote healthy living. The intense heat generated — often by steam created from pouring water onto heated rocks — is meant to encourage a sweating out of toxins and negative energy that create disorder and imbalance in life. In this way, the sweat lodge ceremony cleanses the body, mind and soul.
