GTT U.S. (Southern CA) Module / Spiritual Emergency: Embracing Unexpected Transformation

REGISTRATION AND COST

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.

The six-day module format is a wonderful opportunity to deepen your process of self-exploration, and to directly experience the healing potential of non-ordinary states using Holotropic Breathwork®. You will meet like-minded people from around the world, and explore together in a safe and supportive environment. You will also learn tools and techniques for living a more creative and fulfilling life, and will have extensive personal contact with some of the best Holotropic facilitators in the country. All modules include four Holotropic Breathwork® sessions, two as a ‘breather’ and two as a ‘sitter’, along with valuable time for group sharing.

In addition to experiencing Holotropic Breathwork®, topics explored in this module is especially relevant for anyone working with others in non-ordinary states of any sort for transformation and personal healing.

This module is an open event suitable for participants in the training program as well as  for those interested in personal transformation.

In 2020 GTT began offering real-time virtual events that are as close to a GTT module experience as we can make them in an online format.

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.

To enhance the group experience for everyone, please note that you will be expected to attend all sessions of the module just as you would if it were being held live at a retreat center.

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. In that case, you will be able to make up the Holotropic Breathwork® component in HB-only workshops that we will offer as soon as it is safe to do so. Up to two of these combined Virtual Modules + HB component can be counted toward the seven modules required for certification.

Cole Chance

Cole Chance (guest teacher) has been a lifelong seeker, journeying through the depths of addiction, across the world, and into the ever-unfolding landscape of the self. Her work weaves together expressive asana, somatics, Buddhist philosophy, nervous system science, and myth, with a deep belief that the body is a sensory doorway to greater connection—within and beyond.

Cole has taught in a wide range of spaces—from studios to prisons, retreat centers to recovery programs. She is the founder of CCY Studio, an online embodied yoga membership, the creator of EMERGE, a holistic recovery program and The Mindfulish School, a heartfelt (and slightly rebellious) yoga training program.

Her recent studies have taken her into contact dance, Holotropic Breathwork®, mythopoetics, and nature reconnection—each path another doorway into the mystery of being human. She invites students to meet themselves and the world with wonder, grit, and deep presence.

GTT U.S. (Colorado) Module / The Vessels of Soul’s Wisdom: A Journey Through the Three Cauldrons with Cáit Branigan

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

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 (described below), there will be art, music, dancing, film, and integration during the module.

In addition to Holotropic Breathwork® breathing and sitting, topics explored in these modules are especially relevant for anyone working with others in expanded states of any sort for transformation and personal healing.

The Three Cauldrons are the repositories of our vital essence, our life-force, our Spirit.  They are vessels of sacredness containing our soul’s vitality, our creative energies and our soul’s experiences as it travels through life.  The Three Cauldrons rest in the physical body, fueling our energy, vocation and capacity for wisdom.

 During the course of our work together we will access our spiritual repository of vision, enlightenment and inspiration; thus allowing it to become a source for the weaving of our life pattern, through daily ritual, creativity (such as art, sound, dance) and the day to day unfolding of the self. During our work, participants will explore shamanism as a spiritual practice and the role of the shamanic journey within that context. Our aim is to ensure the clear and free-flowing nature of our essence and energy through the body; that body being open to the influence of physical, somatic and spiritual blocks.  We will explore each Cauldron – each with its own role and function – through journey, chant ceremony to explore that which lies within.  Through the unfolding of being in conscious awareness, we will hope to become ‘whole unto ourselves’, no longer restricted by patterns existing in unawareness.

 It is hoped that at the conclusion of our work, participants will have the ability to use shamanic techniques to help access and express their own sources of inspiration for use in living creatively, freely and fully from the heart.

Cáit Branigan is a Druid and an Ordained Priestess Hierophant of the Western Mystery Tradition, a Healer working within the traditions of Ireland.  She works with individuals for healing at her centre in Co. Wexford.  She also works with and teaches groups in Ireland aid internationally.  An essential part of her work is in the area of Women’s Mysteries in which she has conducted workshops and ceremonies around the country.  She also facilitates sweat lodges within the Irish Tradition and performs Rites of Passage within the community.  She is a member of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids and a member of the Fellowship of Isis.

These modules are open events and suitable both for participants in the Holotropic Breathwork® training program, as well for those attending primarily for their personal journey of transformation.

New ways to look at psychology and spirituality offer exciting possibilities in the recovery movement, both for individual seekers and for those who work in the treatment field. This workshop explores a whole continuum, from the idea of addiction as an extreme form of attachment, which affects everyone and which is crucial to spiritual seekers of all practices, to the more articulate forms of addiction: substance, process, relationship, and more. Through theory, discussion and experiential exercises, we’ll look at:
(1) the disease paradigm of recovery;
(2) the wellness paradigm and the transpersonal recovery center;
(3) implications of perinatal and transpersonal dimensions for recovery;
(4) the 12 steps as a world yoga;
(5) addiction as spiritual emergency;
(6) addiction as shamanic crisis;
(7) recovery as a mystery school;
(8)  psychedelics and recovery;
(9) recovery and the feminine;
(10) addiction from the homeopathic perspective;
(11) recovery as death/rebirth;
(12) addiction and the global crisis; and more.

These modules are open events and suitable for both participants in the training program as well for those attending primarily for their personal journey of transformation.
