Single day Holotropic Breathwork -worshop 9.11. Turku, Finland

This single day Holotropic Breathwork -workshop is intented for people who have already experienced Holotropic Breathwork, since in this workshop there is no preparation lecture for the method. Workshop takes place in Konsan Kartano, Turku (Virusmäentie 9, 20300 Turku) within walking distance and with bus connection from Turku center. There is space for 20 participants. Snacks and tea/coffee are served during the workshop. There will be two meal brakes, but if you want to eat warm meal, you need to get it by yourself. For practical reasons we advice you to eat in kortteliravintola Navetta (http://www.navettakortteliravintola.fi/), which is located in Konsan Kartano. If needed, you can also use fridge and kitchen in the venue. Workshop is held in english and if necessary, there will be finnish translation.

From the holotropic perspective, preparation for the session, session itself and integration are all equally important phases when utilizing non-ordinary states of consciousness. This workshop lasts just one day, where we will provide space for short preparation, complete sessions and some tools and ideas for integration. Our wish is that you don´t underestimate the importance of preparation and integration in the whole process. For this reason we want to encourage participants to devote some time before the workshop for preparing the body and mind for the coming session. This can mean for example reflecting your intention, doing meditation, spending time in the nature and giving more focus to your inner world. We also encourage you to have time for integration for the days after the workshop. We encourage you to find your own ways and methods to still yourself, to ground, to express your inner world and to listen and respect your own needs and boundaries.
