Open to anyone interested. No previous experience with Holotropic Breathwork® is necessary.
As we experience and practice Holotropic Breathwork®, the theme of death emerges both in theory and as an intrinsic part of our inner journeys. Over the years, GTT has held Holotropic Breathwork® retreats on Death and Dying,* The Books of the Dead,* The Art of Living and Dying,** and more. This module continues in that tradition.
While Western society tends to ignore or turn away from anything related to the idea of dying, those of us drawn to the holotropic are often fascinated by the experience and meaning of death, rebirth, and the continuity of consciousness. From our journeys in the holotropic state, as well as in learning to be present for others, we also become natural “sitters” for our loved ones in their dying process.
This retreat is an opportunity to explore and share our experiences in and around death, dying, rebirth, grief, and the afterlife, as they occur in HB sessions and in our lives. Primarily experiential, it will include a range of topics, such as:
– how do we best face our own death; living before dying
– dealing with loss; the mystery of the grieving process
– being present for and sitting with others as they die
– Near Death Experiences (NDEs); Life After Life; Life Between Lives
– evidence for the existence of the afterlife; the primacy of consciousness
Coming together with our stories, our fears, our fascination, our curiosity, and, of course, in our HB sessions as breathers and sitters, this retreat allows us to delve into one of the most significant aspects of the holotropic perspective and experience.
Each participant will have two sessions of HB as an experiencer, or “breather,” and two sessions as a partner, or “sitter”. Besides the breathwork sessions and the topics covered, there will be time for art, music, SoulCollage,® media, and integration during the module.
In addition to Holotropic Breathwork® breathing and sitting, topics explored in GTT modules are especially relevant for anyone working with others in expanded states of any sort for transformation and personal healing.
