Breathwork is an experiential method of self-exploration and psychospiritual healing. It induces deep “holotropic” (moving toward wholeness) states of consciousness using conscious connected breathing, carefully curated music, and, when called for, special bodywork that helps to release bioenergetic and emotional blocks. The modality combines and integrates elements from modern consciousness research, depth psychology, transpersonal psychology, Eastern spiritual philosophies, shamanism and other native healing practices to utilize the extraordinary healing power of holotropic states.
Breathwork provides access to biographical, perinatal, and transpersonal domains of the unconscious and opens psychospiritual pathways to healing and spiritual evolution. The process of self-exploration in holotropic states of consciousness is spontaneous and autonomous and is governed by the inner healing intelligence that resides in each of us.
During this day-long experience, you will pair with another participant. One of you will serve as a sitter and one as a breather in the morning session, and you will switch places in the afternoon. Following your breathwork session, you will be invited to capture the essence of your experience by creating a mandala. The day will end with a sharing circle.
