Holotropic Breathwork: Autumn Triple Session
Welcome to a deep holotropic dive at Alkuvoima in Turku! This autumn, we’ll gather monthly with the same group for three Holotropic Breathwork sessions. The continuity of the group can deepen the sense of safety and the transformational process itself.
Holotropic Breathwork is a profound method of self-exploration that strengthens the connection to your inner wisdom. During the breathwork sessions, you are invited to surrender to your own inner process in a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space—entirely at your own pace and in your own style. The method combines various therapeutic elements, such as evocative music, intensified breathing, body and emotional work, compassionate presence and support from another person, group dynamics, and preparatory and integration practices.
We primarily welcome participants who can commit to all three sessions. The group will consist of a maximum of 10 people. If a session is not fully booked, we will open up spots for those interested in attending one or two sessions, one month prior to each event. The breathwork journeys will be held on Saturdays, with two sessions each day. Participants will breathe in one session and serve as a sitter in the other. The day also includes tools for integration and practical tips on how to continue the process in everyday life.
During the first weekend, we will also meet on Friday evening to explore the method and get to know the group. After the final breathwork sessions, we will gather on Sunday to focus on integration and to close the shared process.
Event takes place at Alkuvoima, Turku (Halistentie 2, https://www.alkuvoima.org/). No previous experience in breathwork is required for the event.

Jussi Alihanka
Certified Holotropic Breathwork facilitator (GTT)
Psychiatrist, Specialist in addiction medicine, integrative psychotherapist,
Vice President of HB Finland ry
https://minduu.fi/fi/profiili/jussi_alihanka
Jussi is originally from Rymättylä in the Turku archipelago and now lives in Kemiönsaari. He graduated from Grof Transpersonal Training as a Holotropic Breathwork facilitator in spring 2023 and co-founded Holotropic Breathwork Finland together with Valde in 2018. Jussi's interest towards altered states of consciousness and working with them has born out from personal integrative experiences. These experiences have also guided Jussi to explore different ways of perceiving and understanding the human experience. Key elements in Jussi's work are safety and the concept of 'Inner Wisdom', which seeks to describe the spontaneous tendency of the human body, mind and soul to heal and grow.
He believes that Holotropic Breathwork and its principles have a lot to offer for psychotherapy, healing, growth and increasing self-awareness and therefore aims to make the method better known and to increase its accessibility in Finland.
