THE METHOD Grof® Breathwork is a highly experiential work recommended for those interested in their personal and spiritual growth through deep inner exploration. Stan Grof’s basic concept is that the wisdom of our 'inner healer' will direct us and bring to our consciousness what is best and most healing for us at any given moment. The process itself combines accelerated breathing with evocative music which helps to amplify the experience and release stuck or unconscious material. The sessions are done in pairs. During each breathwork session, the participants are lying on a mat with eyes closed, while using the power of their own breath and evocative music to enter an expanded state of consciousness (NOSC). Such states are shown to activate our innate inner wisdom, bringing healing, release and/or insight For this, we honor the main 3 guidelines of any work with holotropic states: the preparation, the experience and the integration of the experience. Once the breathwork session is complete, the breather is invited to draw a mandala of their experience. This does not require drawing skills! Additional elements of the process include focused energy release, when the body needs support releasing and healing. The sessions are then followed by a sharing circle where people can share their experience + a  practice of integration, to support the content of the breathwork session. Format of the Workshop Single workshop: 2 Grof (aka Holotropic) Breathwork sessions (1 as breather and 1 as sitter holding space). The workshop consists of Grof® Breathwork sessions with evocative music, bodywork, mandala drawing, group sharing and a sequence of integration practices on the final evening. Schedule Participation in this experience requires to attend the full schedule.
