GTT Module - Trauma and Transformation Austria - 15th-20th October 2023

This module is already fully booked !
"Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls.” - Kahlil Gibran
This quote by Khalil Gibran will lead the way into an experiential exploration of what trauma really means, how it impacts our way of being in this world and how the work in Holotropic states of consciousness can be beneficial to integrate the fragmented self and heal.
Trauma is the Greek word for wound, a wounding. We all have woundings; from birth to death, and even before birth. These can be demanding in their intensity, in their impact on us, and in our relationship with ourselves, others, and our environment. The module will focus on the impact of trauma on physical, emotional and psychological wellbeing.
We will explore holotropic strategies that can be beneficial in working with these challenging issues.
Our approach will be a mixture of theory and experiential practices. Each participant will experience two Holotropic Breathwork sessions as a “breather” and two as a “sitter." Drawing on our personal experience, we will also engage in creative exercises with art materials, writing and movement.


Topics and questions we dive into will include:
- How the Holotropic Paradigm and the work in expanded states of consciousness is beneficial in integrating and transforming trauma 
- The trauma process - when to focus on what? 
- The use of survival strategies and ego defense mechanisms; their effectiveness and limitations
- The power of Presence
- Understanding Grof's perinatal and transpersonal levels of our being; and the impact of generational links as part of the transpersonal
This module will not only be useful in our own journey towards wholeness, but will enhance our ability to be present with others - as companions, therapists and facilitators - as they work with their own trauma.
A detailed schedule will be given shortly before the workshop. If you have any severe physical or mental conditions please contact Thomas Liska (+43 699 17187915) or Sonja Busch (+43 699 12346253) in advance to exclude any possible contraindications.

Holotropic Breathwork®

®



Holotropic Breathwork® is a powerful technique for self-healing and self-exploration allowing for greater self-understanding, expansion of self-identity and access to the roots of emotional and psychosomatic challenges one might face. Holotropic Breathwork® comes from the Greek words ‘holos’ (whole) and ‘trepein’ (going to) meaning moving towards wholeness.





Training

GTT is a program for experiencing and studying Holotropic Breathwork® and the transpersonal perspective. It is a two-track program that can be used either to become a certified practitioner or simply to experience this practice in a more in-depth format. It is the best way to spend time with HB co-developer and one of the founders of transpersonal psychology, Stanislav Grof. Although semi-retired, Stan still teaches at some of the six-day training workshops, also called modules.
