Across many cultures and spiritual traditions, human beings have long described experiences of an energetic nature. Understood through concepts such as Prana, Ki, Qi, Life Force, Kundalini and many others, energy has been regarded as a source of healing, transformation, spiritual awakening and expanded states of consciousness.

In holotropic states of consciousness, the energetic dimension can become remarkably vivid and meaningful. Subtle sensations intensify, emotions surface, sound and movement arise spontaneously, and powerful currents travel through us. Sometimes gently and sometimes with great force, these experiences can become profound sources of insight, healing, release and illumination.

Energetics of Healing in Holotropic States is an experiential and exploratory module examining these phenomena through various cultural, spiritual and energetic lenses—while encouraging participants to awaken to what is authentic within their own experience.

Through teaching, discussion, stories from the field, music, movement and personal practices, we will explore the extraordinary range of energies that can emerge both in expanded states and in our ordinary lives—from the quiet, subtle and deeply beautiful to the intense, challenging and unexpected.

The module will emphasize three practical dimensions of working with energy in holotropic contexts:

Opening to spontaneous experience—developing greater sensitivity to energetic phenomena as they naturally emerge.

Cultivating energy intentionally—experiencing practices from different traditions that consciously engage breath, movement, sound and attention to cultivate energy and vitality.

Supporting integration—exploring how energetic experiences and practices can support the integration of work that emerges in expanded states of consciousness.

This virtual module is neither a scientific examination of subtle energy nor an attempt to prescribe any particular model. It is an invitation into direct experience, thoughtful inquiry and curious exploration of something human beings across cultures have encountered and attempted to understand for centuries.

Holotropic Training Poland / Spiritual Emergency: Embracing Unexpected Transformation

Healing and transformation can sometimes imply challenging moments in which we feel destabilized, particularly when following a path that involves experiences in Non-Ordinary States of Consciousness.
These moments of crises have been understood as psychosis or psychological regression by some and as opportunities and major breakthroughs by others. Stan and Christina Grof coined the term “Spiritual Emergency” to refer to such states. What is the difference between psychosis and a Spiritual Emergency? How should we support people going through them?
In this module, we will explore the different challenging manifestations that people sometimes go through in their journeys of transformation. We aim to understand the reasons that lead to such difficulties and identify the best approaches to support these intense processes from a non-judgmental and caring perspective.
In this module, we will cover the following topics:
1) The concept of Spiritual Emergence and Spiritual Emergency.
2) The various types of Spiritual Emergencies as described by Stan and Christina Grof.
3) Contemporary perspectives on Spiritual Emergencies, as encountered in current forms of psychedelic therapy, shamanic experiences, and experiential work.
4) Diverse challenges that individuals may face after difficult experiences in Non-Ordinary States
5)Distinguishing between pathological and transformational states.
6) Approaches to addressing different scenarios in Spiritual Emergencies and integration
Participants will have two sessions of Holotropic Breathwork as a breather and two as a sitter. There will be also time and tools for integrating the whole experience.
It is not necessary to have previous experience in Holotropic Breathwork, but you will need to complete a brief confidential questionnaire.

IFH/GTT Canada module – Adventures in the Transpersonal Realm: Exploring Archetypes, Myths, and Dreams

REGISTRATION & COST   

Open to anyone interested. Previous experience with Holotropic Breathwork® is not necessary.

Each participant will have two sessions of Holotropic Breathwork® as an experiencer, or “breather,” and two sessions as a partner, or “sitter,” as well as valuable time for group sharing and integration. In addition to the breathwork sessions and the topic explored in the module, the program may include art, music, movement, and film.

One of the most fascinating aspects of Holotropic Breathwork® is the way experiences can take us beyond our personal history and into what Stan Grof called the transpersonal realm.

During this six-day module, we’ll explore some of the many ways this realm can appear in expanded states of consciousness. We’ll look at archetypes and the collective unconscious, mythology and dreams, the Hero’s Journey, shamanic journeying, and themes of death and rebirth.

The transpersonal realm also brings experiences that challenge our ordinary ideas about consciousness, time, and reality, including out-of-body experiences, past-life and ancestral experiences, paranormal phenomena, alien encounters, and more.

We’ll draw from Jungian psychology, mythology, shamanic traditions, and Buddhist and Vedic cosmologies as different perspectives from which to understand these experiences.

As always, the real exploration happens through our own inner journeys. Holotropic Breathwork®, music, art, experiential exercises, and integration will give participants an opportunity to enter these realms for themselves and discover what meaning their encounters within may hold.

Tami Denice

Tami Denice (module facilitator and guest teacher) is a Jungian and transpersonal dream analyst, Holotropic Breathwork® facilitator, and corporate leader based in British Columbia, Canada. Her journey into the depths of the psyche began on the Colorado River, where a profound experience rafting through the Grand Canyon shattered her waking reverie and called her onto the hero’s journey — her own.

Her relationship with dreams dates to 2004, when a prophetic dream foretold a family member’s death three weeks before it occurred. That encounter with the psyche’s foresight left her captivated by the intelligence of the inner world — a fascination that continues to inform her work today. Insights gained through two decades of dreamwork and inner exploration deeply shape her leadership and relational style, bringing presence, psychological depth, and intuition to the teams and organizations she leads.

Tami has taught dreamwork, facilitated dream groups, and spoken publicly on the transformative power of the psyche. She is currently completing her first book, Synchronicity’s Fire.
