Unlocking the Body's Wisdom: A Holotropic Breathwork Retreat for releasing Trauma and embracing Transformation
In this module, we will explore: - The power of contact; where and how. - Sharing the experiential field of the breather. - The intermittent nature of the process. - The challenge of doing not doing. - Understanding and supporting different kinds of processes. This module involves intense practice of facilitation with direct advice from experienced practitioners and shadow guidance to improve your presence and skills. To maximize your training, in the breathwork sessions sitters will facilitate breathers, and the staff will support you if needed. There will be space for dialogue, questions, and answers to discuss situations and gain confidence in your facilitation. To assist it is indispensable to have done the mandatory module The Power Within (“the Bodywork module”) to have experience as a breather/sitter and some facilitation skills.
This dynamic six-day GTT module offers an immersive exploration of the principles, philosophy, and transformative potential of Transpersonal Psychology & Holotropic Breathwork.
“Many of us spend our whole lives running from feelings with the mistaken belief that you cannot bear the pain. But you have already borne the pain. What you have not done is feel all you are, beyond that pain.” — Khalil Gibran
The Closing Certification Intensive marks the culmination and final stage of the Grof Transpersonal Training Program in Transpersonal Psychology and HOLOTROPIC BREATHWORK.
This 7-day, 6-night module integrates Holotropic Breathwork with shamanic practices in a harmonious and integrative manner, facilitating a profound healing experience.
Holotropic theory comes alive as we experience the essence of the Holotropic practice and focused energy release ("bodywork") first-hand.
Healing and transformation can sometimes imply challenging moments in which we feel destabilized, particularly when following a path that involves experiences in expanded states of consciousness. IT: La guarigione e la trasformazione possono talvolta comportare momenti di difficoltà in cui ci sentiamo destabilizzati, particolarmente quando si percorre un cammino che coinvolge esperienze in stati espansi di coscienza.
