Double Holotropic Breathwork at Hyakujōgan Zendo, Austria (January)
Close to Vienna. A journey into deep inner work, embraced by magical stillness – devoted to letting go and awakening inner clarity.
German text below.
In the Hohe Wand Nature Park, we find ourselves in a peaceful and insightful environment that encourages discoveries. The house that hosts us radiates a calm and steady energy, reminiscent of Zen. It is named “Hyakujōgan”, drawing inspiration from a legend about a Zen monk who released his fixed ideas while standing on a high cliff—echoing the wordplay with Hyakujō and the fox. This name embodies a guiding principle: as we ascend, conceptual thinking diminishes, allowing us to experience the essence of presence.
Double Breathwork is a recognized format for profound, transformative experiences. Through improvised, accelerated breathing while alternating between the roles of Breather and Sitter (inspired by Stanislav and Christina Grof’s methods), participants can access expanded consciousness, where unconscious material, body intelligence, and inner wisdom can emerge.
Holotropic Breathwork (Grof® Breathwork) goes beyond a simple breathing technique; it integrates accelerated breathing, evocative music, group dynamics, and integration methods (such as creative expression and sharing), which facilitate access to deep transpersonal and archetypal dimensions.
At Hyakujōgan, old structures can dissipate, leading to a sense of clarity—supported by the tranquil nature surrounding us and the peaceful atmosphere of the house. This space encourages us to let go, fostering a sense of inner order and inviting exploration of what exists beyond familiar concepts.
We will begin on Thursday at 5PM with registration and conclude on Sunday at 1PM with a group lunch. The detailed schedule will be shared soon.
The workshop will be conducted in both German and English, with translations provided as needed.

_______________
Double Breathwork ist unser bewährtes Standardformat für tiefe, transformative Arbeit: Über die improvisierte, beschleunigte Atmung im Wechsel von „Breather“ und „Sitter“ (nach Stanislav und Christina Grof) öffnen sich bewusstseinsverändernde Räume, in denen unbewusstes Material, Körperintelligenz und innere Weisheit sich entfalten dürfen.
Im Naturpark Hohe Wand erleben wir ein Setting voller Ruhe, magischer Aus- und Einsichten. Das Haus, das uns beherbergt, schwingt leise, ruhige Kraft – fast wie getragen von Zen-Energie. Der Name „Hyakujōgan“, geboren aus der Legende eines Zen-Mönchs, der an der hohen Klippe seine festgefahrenen Vorstellungen losließ – inspiriert vom Wortspiel um Hyakujō und den Fuchs –, ist Programm: Steil wandern wir hin in jene Höhen, in denen Konzeptdenken weicht und Präsenz als Offenbarung erscheint.
Holotropic Breathwork (Grof® Breathwork) ist mehr als Atemtechnik – es ist eine Synergie aus beschleunigter Atmung, evocative Musik, gruppendynamischem Setting und Integration (z. B. durch kreative Ausdrucksformen und Teilen), die den Zugang zu tiefen trans- und archetypischen Ebenen eröffnet.
Hier “Hyakujōgan” wird es möglich, dass alte Strukturen verfallen und ordnende Klarheit entsteht – getragen von der stillen Weite der Natur und der klaren Präsenz des Hauses. Ein Raum, in dem Loslassen zur inneren Ordnung führt – eine Einladung zum Staunen über das, was jenseits gewohnter Konzepte aufscheint.
Wir beginnen am Donnerstag um 17 Uhr mit der Anmeldung und schließen am Sonntag um 13 Uhr mit einem gemeinsamen Mittagessen ab. Der genaue Ablaufplan wird in Kürze bekanntgegeben.
Der Workshop wird teils auf Deutsch und teils auf Englisch gehalten, Übersetzungen werden bereitgestellt.
