The Holotropic Breathwork and meditation in Bratislava-Slovakia/14th-15th of September

Workshop of HB in the city of Bratislava

The Holotropic Breathwork™ as we know it today was being formed by the observations and the research of the healing and transformative potential of altered states of consciousness in the various contexts – in the rituals of the aboriginal cultures, in the practice of the eastern mystics, or in the therapeutic setting with the substances. The HB practice became alive in the times when Stanislav and Christina Grof were searching for the means to mediate this potential in the current cultural setting. Holotropic Breathwork is the connection of the use of breath, evocative music and the bodywork in a supportive and safe setting. Through the observation of the inner processes in the holotropic breathwork we can expand the consciousness, connect with the inner wisdom, the power within, and expand the map of the inner worlds with the new qualities of cognition. We are offered a new perspective to reality and insights into the situations of daily life. It is the healing process for the individual as well as for the community and the whole social system from within. Enriching the holotropic approach with the somatic meditative approach is offering the different possibilities to open to and work with the process "on the mattress" and at the same time can offer the ways of integration through the body after the workshop of HB. We not only learn the art of self-discovery (the reality of life/death experiences) and expand our possibilities, but also learn how to cultivate the energies afterwards .

Holotropic Breathwork™ can be the approach suitable for the person who:
*looks for the way to heal through her/his own experience
*experiences psycho-spiritual challenges and looks for the better understanding and insights into it
*wants to release unfinished or unresolved traumas from the past
*wants to understand emocional roots of his/her physical or mental problems
*wants to expand the consciousness and keep getting to know the spiritual path
*is curious who he/she really is
