This “Virtual Module” is open to anyone interested. There will be group interaction, teaching, and experiential sessions, everything except actual Holotropic Breathwork® sessions, since HB cannot be done virtually. The topic is one of the four Required Modules for anyone wishing to become a certified Holotropic Breathwork® Facilitator.

Although you may attend this Virtual Module as a stand-alone event, there is also an option for those who wish to get full module credit.

For those who are able to make it, we recommend pairing this Virtual Module with the Double-Breathwork retreat the following weekend at RW Ranch in Southern California.

Understanding spiritual emergency is one of the major contributions of the holotropic perspective. Whether you are a professional or a layperson, someone interested in working with or supporting people in transformational crises, or primarily in your own growth, the module offers a rich experience and valuable information. In addition to differentiating between psychosis and spiritual emergency, we’ll also explore the intensely practical aspects of who, in these kinds of crises, can benefit from Holotropic Breathwork® and how best to work with them in their emergencies. This workshop includes a discussion of the concept of spiritual emergency, its manifestations and forms, historical and anthropological perspectives, treatment strategies and work with family and friends.

Czechia Holotropic Breathwork® Double-Breathwork Weekend Workshop

Meets the requirements to complete one GTT Virtual Module.

This 3 1/2-day, experiential Double Holotropic Breathwork workshop allows for self-healing and self-exploration as well as accessing the roots of emotional and psychosomatic challenges one might face. During the workshop, four breathwork sessions (two as a breather and two as a sitter) will allow you, in a very safe setting, to access an expanded state of consciousness, in which your own wisdom connects with your inner healing and transforming power. This healing wisdom guides the experience towards those aspects which carry emotional charge, and are ready to be processed or integrated.
