Holotropic Breathwork® Is a specialized and unique form of transformational breathwork rooted in the pioneering transpersonal approach of Stanislav Grof. Holotropic Breathwork® provides a safe and caring container for deep exploration in an “expanded” or “holotropic” state of consciousness. Use of breath, music, and set and setting enables participants to surrender to a natural process of spiritual, psychological, and physical “movement toward wholeness.” This process takes many, often mysterious, forms and becomes a collaboration of mind, body, and spirit.
Holotropic Breathwork® is a psychedelic approach to inner exploration that does not use psychedelics. This powerful modality is greatly recommended for people seeking meaning and context, those who want to resolve trauma, who want to access and expand their creativity, and who are looking for a non-denominational, non-religious, substance-free spiritual path. Long time participants report great positive changes in their lives and, often, a sense of deep spiritual fulfillment.
Holotropic Breathwork® uses deep, effective breathing; a specially designed musical journey; and a safe and supportive setting with a trained staff of facilitators to enable an expanded state of awareness, allowing courageous self-exploration and personal transformation. Mandala drawing and small-group processing of the sessions are important integrative elements of the Holotropic process.
The workshop includes preparation, sessions, and integration. There are two sessions of Holotropic Breathwork, so that each person has one session as a “breather” and one as a “sitter.” Both roles offer much by way of exploration through experience. Friday evening will present the paradigm at the foundation of the Work, and Sunday will include time for learning ways to integrate information from the sessions as well as a Q & A session.
Previous participants have shared that:
“The workshop was profoundly transformative for me, I am forever grateful for the experiences and for the new found knowledge, strength, and wisdom. Thank you.” – Simona
“I want you know that the San Fran event was the best and the whole group that does the work is more than outstanding. The love and effort is beyond excellent. Thank you.” – David
Your fee includes lunch and a coffee, tea, and snack break on Saturday. Other meals are on your own.
Overnight hotel accommodations are not included and are optional. You may choose to book a room at the Hyatt, stay elsewhere, or commute from home.
The workshop will be led by Sharanya Naik, who has conducted numerous Holotropic Breathwork workshops for 23 years and is a member of the Grof Transpersonal Training (GTT) staff. She will be joined by a team of experienced HB facilitators. Cary Sparks, director of GTT, will also be part of Sunday’s Q&A.
