Double holotropic breathwork retreat in Gozd Martuljek, July 2nd—5th, 2026
Embark on a profound journey inward at our double holotropic breathwork retreat, surrounded by the stunning alpine beauty of Gozd Martuljek in Slovenia!
Holotropic breathwork was developed by Dr. Stanislav Grof and Christina Grof in 1974 at Esalen in California. It integrates insights ranging from modern consciousness research to ancient mystical traditions from around the world.
This powerful approach invites participants to embark on a deep inner journey through non-ordinary states of consciousness (abbr. NOSC). It can awaken personal healing potential, foster self-empowerment, and inspire collective transformation. By connecting with your Inner Self—often referred to as Inner Healing Intelligence—this process promotes emotional, spiritual, and physical healing, facilitating profound and lasting personal transformation.
ABOUT THE RETREAT
This 4-day residential retreat features 4 holotropic breathing sessions where participants work in pairs, alternating roles between breather and sitter. Each session combines breathwork, evocative holotropic music, and focused bodywork when needed to support the journey.
Participants are encouraged to trust their inner healing process and embrace each unfolding experience throughout the workshop—allowing emotions, thoughts, sensations and other inner phenomena to arise naturally and expressing them fully.
At the end of each session, there will be time for self-reflection, creative artwork and integration practices. We will conclude each day with a group sharing circle, a safe and supportive space for connecting and reflecting on the experience.
No prior experience is required to attend this workshop. // Spaces are limited — LAST SPOTS LEFT!
