“I believe it is essential for our planetary future to develop tools that can change the consciousness which has created the crisis that we are in.”
Stanislav Grof
Our breath is a bridge between inner and outer experience. It connects us with our body, our emotions, and our inner world - as well as with other people, nature, and the world around us. With every breath, we participate in life. We all breathe in the same ocean of air.
Stressful experiences, chronic stress, early imprints, loss, relationship conflicts, overwhelm, life crises, or unresolved emotional processes often leave traces - in our breathing, in the body, in the nervous system, and in our inner experience. They may show themselves as tension, restricted breathing, emotional constriction, exhaustion, or diminished vitality. And because we have grown accustomed to these states over time, we often no longer notice them consciously. They have often come to feel normal to us.
Holotropic Breathwork begins precisely here. Through deepened, connected breathing, music, and mindful support, a protected experiential space emerges in which inner processes can become perceptible and begin to move again. The breath brings us into contact with the body, with emotions, inner images, personal themes, and deeper layers of the self.
In this way, Holotropic Breathwork can support the gentle release of held tensions and inner blockages, open new perspectives, and foster psychological and emotional flexibility.
Holotropic Breathwork® is an intensive method of self-exploration, transformation, and integration in extraordinary altered states of consciousness - free from psychoactive substances. It was developed by psychiatrist Dr. Stanislav Grof and his wife Christina Grof.
This work invites participants to trust the autonomous, self-organizing inner processes that Stanislav Grof describes as “inner healing intelligence.” The method combines several essential elements: deepened, connected breathing, music specifically designed to support the inner process, mindful bodywork, creative expression, and sharing and integration circles.
Many participants describe the following after the breathwork experience:
- a deepened presence and renewed vitality - a true arrival in one’s own body
- inner clarity and deeply moving self-understanding
- a growing sense of connection with oneself and the world
- emotional relief, inner calm, and sustainable integration
- new perspectives on relationships, life paths, and inner questions
- increasing inner flexibility and creative vitality
- strengthened resilience, coherence, and trust in one’s own inner guidance
What unites participants is the willingness to meet themselves with openness, courage, and curiosity and to enter into a process that can touch, clarify, and support profound personal change.
Holotropic Breathwork is especially suitable for:
- people who are ready to engage in an inner path of learning and unfolding, and who wish to deepen personal transformation, consciousness, and the connection between body, psyche, meaning, and the world
- therapists, physicians, psychologists, educators, and counsellors who wish to become familiar with this work, deepen it through their own experience, and expand their personal and professional flexibility
- creative professionals and artists seeking new sources of inspiration, expression, and inner imagery
- leaders and people in positions of responsibility who wish to nourish inner flexibility, clarity, and resilience from a deeper source in times of change
No prior experience with breathwork or meditation is required. As part of the registration process, we ask you to complete a medical questionnaire - see below. If you have any questions regarding this form, please feel free to contact us.
The Exploratorium is guided by certified facilitators of Holotropic Breathwork® and Grof® Breathwork. The workshop will be conducted bilingually in English and Bosnian-Croatian.

“Vjerujem da je za našu planetarnu budućnost od presudne važnosti razvijati alate koji mogu promijeniti svijest koja je stvorila krizu u kojoj se nalazimo.”
Stanislav Grof
Naš dah je most između unutarnjeg i vanjskog. Povezuje nas s našim tijelom, osjećajima i unutarnjim doživljajem - kao i s drugim ljudima, prirodom i svijetom. Sa svakim udahom i izdahom sudjelujemo u životu. Mi svi dijelimo i dišemo u istom velikom moru zraka.
Teška iskustva, hronični stres, rani utjecaji, gubici, konflikti u odnosima, preopterećenost, životne krize ili neprerađeni emocionalni procesi često ostavljaju tragove - u dahu, u tijelu, u živčanom sistemu i u našem unutarnjem doživljaju. Mogu se pokazati kao napetost, ograničeno disanje, emocionalna stegnutost, iscrpljenost ili smanjena vitalnost. I zato što smo se s vremenom navikli na ta stanja, često ih više ne primjećujemo svjesno. Često su nam postala normalna.
Holotropsko disanje počinje upravo ovdje. Kroz produbljeno, povezano disanje, muziku i pažljivu pratnju nastaje zaštićen iskustveni prostor u kojem unutarnji procesi mogu postati vidljivi i ponovno se pokrenuti. Dah nas dovodi u kontakt s tijelom, osjećajima, unutarnjim slikama, osobnim temama i dubljim slojevima sebstva.
Na taj način holotropsko disanje može podržati nježno otpuštanje zadržanih napetosti i unutarnjih blokada, otvoriti nove perspektive te potaknuti psihičku i emocionalnu pokretljivost.
Holotropic Breathwork® je intenzivna metoda samoistraživanja, transformacije i integracije u izvanredno promijenjenim stanjima svijesti - bez upotrebe psihoaktivnih supstanci. Razvili su je psihijatar dr. Stanislav Grof i njegova supruga Christina Grof.
Ovaj rad poziva učesnike da se oslone na autonomne, samoorganizirajuće unutarnje procese koje Stanislav Grof opisuje kao „unutarnju iscjeljujuću inteligenciju“. Metoda povezuje nekoliko ključnih elemenata: produbljeno, povezano disanje, muziku posebno oblikovanu da podrži unutarnji proces, pažljiv rad s tijelom, kreativni izraz te krugove dijeljenja i integracije.
Mnogi učesnici nakon iskustva disanja opisuju:
- produbljenu prisutnost i obnovljenu životnost - istinsko pristizanje u vlastito tijelo
- unutarnju jasnoću i duboko dirljivo samorazumijevanje
- rastući osjećaj povezanosti sa sobom i sa svijetom
- emocionalno rasterećenje, unutarnji mir i održivu integraciju
- nove perspektive na odnose, životne puteve i unutarnja pitanja
- sve veću unutarnju pokretljivost i kreativnu vitalnost
- ojačanu otpornost, koherenciju i povjerenje u vlastito unutarnje vodstvo
Ono što povezuje učesnike jeste spremnost da se susretnu sa sobom s otvorenošću, hrabrošću i znatiželjom i da se upuste u proces koji može dodirnuti, razjasniti i podržati duboku osobnu promjenu.
Holotropsko disanje posebno je prikladno za:
- ljude koji su spremni krenuti putem unutarnjeg učenja i razvoja te produbiti osobnu transformaciju, svijest i povezanost tijela, psihe, smisla i svijeta
- terapeute, liječnike, psihologe, pedagoge i savjetnike koji žele upoznati ovaj rad, produbiti ga kroz vlastito iskustvo te proširiti svoju osobnu i profesionalnu pokretljivost
- kreativne profesionalce i umjetnike koji žele otvoriti nove izvore inspiracije, izraza i unutarnjih slika
- voditelje i ljude na odgovornim pozicijama koji u vremenima promjena žele njegovati unutarnju pokretljivost, jasnoću i otpornost iz dubljeg izvora
Prethodno iskustvo s radom na disanju ili meditacijom nije potrebno. U okviru prijave molimo vas da ispunite medicinski upitnik. Ako imate pitanja u vezi s ovim obrascem, slobodno nas kontaktirajte.
Exploratorium vode certificirani facilitatori za Holotropic Breathwork® i Grof® Breathwork. Po potrebi, radionica će se održavati dvojezično, na engleskom i bosansko-hrvatskom jeziku.
