Practitioner Description:
Holotropic Breathwork™ is a powerful but gentle method of self-exploration and healing, developed by Stanislav and Christina Grof. The technique is derived from modern consciousness research, depth psychology and shamanic and spiritual practices, to support natural healing and growth through the direct experience of non-ordinary states of consciousness.
The word 'holotropic', coined by Stan Grof, means moving towards wholeness. This is the essential underlying premise in Holotropic Breathwork: by opening beyond the habitual constraints of consciousness, we also open to the natural healing wisdom that is innately present in all of life.
Through accelerated breathing combined with music and focused bodywork, participants gain access to deep levels of awareness and insight and can recognize and embrace elements of themselves that have become disconnected or blocked. Many experience a new strength in their connection with an inner spiritual source.
This year we are offering two weekend workshops in London, and a five-day retreat in Herefordshire.
