GTT Module Holotropic Perspective On Psychedelics. Taught by Marc Aixalà | 9th-14th November 2026 in Assisi, ITALY
A 6 day-residential workshop (in English with Italian translation) integrating lectures with deep experiential practice of Holotropic Breathwork.
This Module is an event taught by Marc Aixalà, author of the book 'Psychedelic Integration'
Marc B. Aixalà (GTT Teacher and Senior Facilitator) is a Telecommunication Engineer and Psychologist with Master studies in Integrative and Strategic Therapy. He has been trained in the therapeutic use of Non Ordinary States of Consciousness. Also trained in MDMA assisted-psychotherapy for PTSD by MAPS and the use of psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression, Marc is now working as a therapist in a clinical trial with psilocybin in Sant Joan de Déu Hospital in Barcelona where he also mentors other psychedelic therapists. He has experience as a Team Leader and Trainer in emergency psychological assistance for people going through difficult psychedelic experiences at Boom Festival (Kosmicare 2010-2016).
Marc collaborates with ICEERS (International Center for Ethnobotanical Education Research and Service) by offering integration psychotherapy sessions for people in challenging situations after psychedelic experiences, developing theoretical models of intervention and training and supervising therapists. He is the author of “Psychedelic Integration: non-ordinary logics and the challenges of psychotherapy in expanded states of awareness”.
In recent years, we have witnessed a renewed interest in psychedelic therapy and research being called “the psychedelic renaissance.” Many people are discovering the potential benefits of psychedelic substances and master plants, and shamanism has become an increasingly sought method for healing. Dozens of clinical trials study the efficacy of psychedelic medicines such as MDMA, psilocybin, and ketamine to treat serious conditions like PTSD and treatment-resistant depression. At the same time, the importance of Stanislav Grof’s Holotropic Paradigm and of the methode Holotropic Breathwork in the development of the psychedelic field still remains unknown to many. With respect to this new era of psychedelics, those of us involved with the Holotropic paradigm have much to contribute and consider.
How do psychedelics compare with or compliment Holotropic Breathwork as tools for personal development? What is the role of Holotropic Breathwork now that psychedelics are becoming an accessible therapeutic method? What are commonalities and differences and what is it that the Holotropic approach has to offer to the individual process in comparison to psychedelics?
In this module we will explore in depth:
- The different paradigms in which psychedelics have been used, and are currently used.
- General characteristics of the main psychedelic medicines and the process they induce.
- The use of psychedelics from the Holotropic Paradigm developed by Grof, Sparks, and others.
- How do psychedelics compare to Holotropic Breathwork?
- The principles of supporting processes from the Holotropic perspective. Dealing with challenging situations.
- The importance of integration of psychedelic experiences.
Participants have the opportunity to get to know the practical experience of Holotropic Breathwork. During the six days of the module, each participant will have the experience of four sessions of Holotropic Breathwork, two as "breather" and two as "sitter".
Besides theoretical presentations and breathwork sessions, during the module, there will be arts, music, movies, and group integration time.

If you wish to continue with the Grof Transpersonal Training, this module is one of the optional modules and it counts towards the training.
