Join us for an in-depth exploration of the fascinating human journey, from conception to death and rebirth.

In embarking on this adventure, we may begin to “DANCE” with the music of time, rather than moving through life, resisting the flow toward death. Such a shift gives us the opportunity to fulfill our deepest life purposes, and let go consciously of what keeps us from embracing this crucial process of transformation.

By viewing life and death through the lens of Holotropic Paradigm, we are able to explore, in depth, the triple dynamic and experience of death-birth-rebirth.

We will draw upon some of the world’s leading paradigms of the death/rebirth process, including:

• The work of Stephen Levine and Elizabeth Kubler Ross
• The shamanic practice of working with mortality
• The contributions of Ralph Metzner and Timothy Leary, including their references to the Tibetan Book of the Dead

We will also explore the fascinating and powerful impact of near-death experiences on our everyday experience of living. This unique journey in facing our mortality offers us a profound opportunity to enrich our own unique life journey. The process will be deeply experiential. In addition to Holotropic Breathwork® sessions, the week’s inner adventures will involve creative exercises, including art, as well as participation in other modalities of psychospiritual journeying.

This module is an exciting and transformative journey through the world of music. Sound and rhythm have always been vital creative and spiritual tools for transformation. Music has even been called the language of the soul. This is a special opportunity to learn first-hand the music structure that defines Holotropic Breathwork® in such a special way.

In addition, we’ll also explore other exciting strategies that help make the Holotropic perspective an essential tool for everyday living.

This module includes: 1) Holotropic music: its history, theory and practice, detailed discussion of the three part structure of a Holotropic Breathwork® music set; with demonstrations of specific pieces for each section; 2) Holotropic group work: it’s history, theory and practice, discussion of common group experiences and challenging situations; 3) COEX systems: how we work with multi-level patterns; 4) demonstration of relaxation; 5) facilitator self -care; 6) Practical workshop information – venue, pricing, promotion, brochure, types of workshops.

The Inner Healer, Surrender & Yoga of the Cross*
(*the geometric cross)

“Geoff is not only a gifted facilitator, but the content was amazing and he brought it all to life with his extraordinary slides and videos, music, and breath. In addition, I rarely experience someone who can hold space and create a safe container in the way he does – especially on zoom, and he did this in spades! He also radiated such joy in being with us and in teaching what he is so passionate about. It was truly a beautiful experience.” – virtual module participant

In this module we will explore a triad of core holotropic principles:

• The Inner Healer
• Surrender
• The Yoga of the Cross – also called the Awareness Positioning System, or APS

Tav Sparks championed the primacy of the Inner Healing Principle for healing, spiritual growth and transformation. He wrote, “The most essential foundation of any authentic psycho spiritual practice is the experience that all true power of transformation COMES FROM WITHIN”.

Everything we need to heal is within us. However sometimes our ability to access our inner healer is obscured by clouds.  Surrender and Letting Go can support us to cleanse the lens of our perception and help us get direct access to this natural resource.’

Drawing from the example of traditional mandala creation and dissolution we will explore how to let go and surrender to the deepest, truest part of ourselves. Guided visualizations, mandala work and journaling will be harnessed for facilitating access to your inner healer.

A welcome nuance of virtual modules is the fact that as we illuminate our inner healers ‘remotely’ we are already in our everyday lives. Even though Holotropic states can be ‘top of the mountain / peak experiences’ where we can be gifted glimpses beyond the veil into the true nature of reality. The time inevitably comes when we return from the top of the mountain to our everyday worlds.

True transformation includes being and becoming. In addition to the mountaintop peak experiences, Holotropic work blossoms beautifully when we engage with it as a moment-to-moment yoga.

‘The Yoga of the Cross’ is a bridge from the top of the mountain into our everyday lives. Starting with a simple diagram, this practice is an invaluable resource we can use to bring the brightness of our true selves into meeting the world just as it is. Now!

This 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. This workshop will allow you a very safe setting to access expanded states of consciousness, in which your own wisdom connects with your inner healing and inner transforming power. This healing wisdom guides the experiences towards those aspects which carry a charge, and are ready to be processed or integrated. Holotropic Breathwork® might be of interest if

• You are seeking a more experiential approach to healing, one that goes beyond talk therapy.
• You are experiencing a major life crisis and seeking deep wisdom and insights.
• You want to release unresolved issues from the past.
• You want to understand the emotional roots of a persistent physical / psychosomatic condition.
• You want to expand your consciousness and further explore your spiritual path.
