Cyrus Bruton (organizer Holotropic Berlin; module facilitator) is an international Holotropic Breathwork® facilitator originally from the UK. For over 35 years, he has been based in Berlin, Germany, where he lives with his partner and friends. For more than two decades, Cyrus has been guiding and holding space for a community grounded in meditation and wholesome daily living together with others.
During the 1980s and 90s, Cyrus lived and worked in India, immersing himself in various emotional and body-centered therapies, dance, and music. He also worked extensively as a progressive psychedelic trance and ambient DJ throughout Europe — an experience that deeply informs the spirit and curation of his Holotropic Breathwork® music sets.
Since 2017, Cyrus has intensely focused on the practice of Zazen and koan study under the guidance of Jeff Shore, attending retreats across Europe and visiting Japan. He is also the author of the book Mud, Lotus, Mystic, published in 2017.
Deepening his commitment to therapeutic and mindful practices, he is entering the Mindfulness-Based Core Process Psychotherapy training at the Karuna Institute in the UK for the 2026/27 academic year.
Cyrus first connected with Holotropic Breathwork® in 2011, participating in international modules and workshops before earning his certification as a facilitator in Spain in 2016. He is the founder of Holotropic Berlin, where he regularly facilitates and co-organizes workshops.
Cyrus brings a grounded, embodied presence to the work, honoring a lifelong fascination with the human journey.
