About Holotropic Breathwork Since the beginning of dawn mankind used non ordinary states of consciousness to explore the Self. The Holotropic Breathwork weekend offers a safe container to explore such states. The inner landscape of being can be discovered through the use of music and breath, bigger meanings of life can be understood and deep transformation can be experienced. Holotropic Breathing® is a path of self-discovery and inner growth. Through intensified breathing and evocative music, an altered state of consciousness is reached, which takes you on a journey into your inner being. Your breath will guide you through a process of releasing internal blockages, finding relaxation, connection, aliveness and belonging. Here you can find answers, recognize overarching patterns of your life and the influence of your birth process on your life, reduce stress and show yourself in a community of people as you are and go into an inspiring exchange.. Conceived by Stanislav Grof M.D. and Christina Grof, Holotropic Breathwork is a profound technique rooted in Transpersonal Psychology. -------------------------------------- Event Schedule Overview Our retreat commences on Friday at 6pm with an introductory talk. We will cover Stan Grof's seminal work, the practice of Holotropic Breathwork, and provide helpful insights for both the total beginners and even for those who have attended previous sessions. We will finish the evening with Kundalini meditation to prepare us for the next days. On Saturday and Sunday, we'll have two Holotropic Breathwork sessions each day, allowing each participant to breathe twice over the weekend. Followed by sharing circles. We will conclude the retreat around 8 pm on Sunday. Our retreat offers two breathwork sessions, group sharing, mandala drawing, and various methods of integration.
