About Peter


For more than 20 years Peter’s passion has been exploring consciousness and the nature of reality or Self. He became a coach and mental trainer in the late ‘90s and discovered non-ordinary states of consciousness at the Monroe Institute in Virginia, where for about 10 years he explored subjects such as guidance, soul retrieval, manifestation, releasing beliefs, remote viewing and first and foremost investigating our essential nature.

Peter sees mindfulness as a life motto and has practised Vipassana and other forms of meditation and spiritual approaches for many years. His teachers include Kurt Tepperwein, Eckhart Tolle, Peter Russell, Adyashanti, Jack Kornfield, Rupert Spira and of course Stanislav Grof. In 2013 Peter became a certified Holotropic Breathwork practitioner and has been facilitating workshops and modules in various countries ever since.

Peter studied Law in Linz, San Diego and Oxford. He is a recording
artist and music producer and also works an office job, taking care of
properties and investments.

GTT Module - MUSIC AND TRANSCENDENCE
February 11th-16th 2024

We're sorry, but the module is fully booked. Please register for the waiting list...


6 day-residential workshop (in English) integrating lectures with deep experiential practice of Holotropic Breathwork
Grof Transpersonal Training staff Sonja Busch, Thomas Liska and Peter Köllerer.
This course is aimed at persons interested in Transpersonal Psychology. This is one of the four mandatory modules to become a HB certified facilitator.


In this module, we will explore the necessary elements to create a Holotropic Breathwork session.

We will discuss important aspects of preparation, the necessary components to conduct sessions, paying special attention to music, and the integration. We will listen to a wide variety of music for the different phases of experiences in expanded states of consciousness, immersing ourselves in an exciting and transformative journey through the world of music.

Experientially we will journey through sound and rhythm. Music has always been vital for creation, as well as a spiritual tool of transformation. It is even said about music, that it is the language of the soul. This is a unique opportunity to learn, first hand, the structure of the music that makes Holotropic Breathwork so special.

The module covers:

1. The creation of the holotropic context.

2. Music in the context of Holotropic Breathwork: history, theory, and practice.

3. Use of music in expanded states of consciousness. A detailed explanation of the structure of the music, demonstration of specific pieces. Creation of music set for an HB session.

4. Explanation and demonstration of the relaxation.

5. The sharing group:

  • Philosophy.
  • Challenging situations for the facilitator.

6. Integration: Importance and methods.

7. Technical aspects of music: quality and sound equipment.

8. Practical information about conducting workshops: place, prices, promotion, brochures and types of workshops.

9. Facilitator self-care.

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.
