THE HOLOTROPIC PARADIGM – where ancient wisdom meets modern psychology:
This dynamic six-day module offers an immersive exploration of the principles, philosophy, and transformative potential of Holotropic Breathwork, and Expanded States of Consciousness within the frame of Transpersonal Psychology
This module is a cornerstone and one of the four essential modules for those pursuing certification as Holotropic Breathwork facilitators. It is equally valuable for professionals in the fields of psychology, personal development, and healing who wish to expand their understanding of the psyche and its innate capacity for deep transformation.
Together, we’ll explore the key principles that guide the work:
1. The Origins of Holotropic Breathwork – Discover how Holotropic Breathwork emerged in the field of Transpersonal Psychology, blending ancient wisdom with modern therapeutic insights.
2. Holotropic Principles and Strategies – Learn the core principles—trust in the inner healing intelligence, respect for each individual unique process, a non-directive approach, and the art of “doing not doing” as a facilitator.
3. Cartography of the Psyche – Explore Stanislav Grof’s expanded map of the psyche—biographical, perinatal, and transpersonal dimensions—as a guide to understanding your own inner experiences and supporting those of others in expanded states of consciousness.
4. Perinatal Matrices – Grof’s Perinatal Matrices reveal how the experiences of our birth imprint deep patterns on our emotional, psychological, and even spiritual experience of life. Exploring these layers within Holotropic experiences offers profound insight into themes of transformation and rebirth.
5. COEX Systems (Systems of Condensed Experience) – These are deeply rooted clusters of emotionally connected memories formed throughout our life experiences—including the perinatal period—that shape our inner world. Exploring our individual COEX systems opens pathways to profound healing and personal growth.
Inmersive Practice: Through four breathwork sessions (two as breather, two as sitter), creative practices, and integration time, you’ll gain both personal insight and professional understanding of how to safely navigate and support expanded states of consciousness.
A profound journey toward self-awareness, transformation, and the essence of the Holotropic approach.
