During this module, you will experience four Holotropic Breathwork® sessions, two as a “breather” and two as a partner, or “sitter.”
This module coincides with the season of Samhain, which marks the beginning of the Celtic New Year and is one of four important festivals in Irish tradition: Imbolc (Spring); Bealtaine (Summer); Lughnasadh (Autumn) and Samhain (Winter).
The word Samhain means ‘Summer’s end’ and is seen as important in all Celtic calendars. Samhain is the beginning of the dark season and is greatly associated with the dead (ancestors) and the Otherworld. The Irish, in common with many indigenous cultures, placed great importance on their dead ancestors and this was reflected in their customs and beliefs.
At a time in the world where societal and sexual relationships are fractured or strained due to gender inequality and the dominance of patriarchal institutions, exploration and healing of our intimate and community relationships is deeply important.
In this workshop, we will prepare for the coming of Winter, exploring life cycles, the balance of our masculine and feminine sexual energies, and the evolution of familial and cultural traditions. Through shamanic journeys, creativity, sound and movement, we will explore the fears we carry societally and individually, represented by the masks we wear at Halloween and throughout our lives. We will also explore how to remove these masks and barriers to tap into our Creative Wild Potency, our full life force energy, and allow for full, authentic expression.
