"The potential for mystical experience is the natural birthright of all human beings."
Stanislav Grof
Holotropic Breathwork®
Holotropic Breathwork is a powerful way of deeply opening to innate healing wisdom in our mind, body, and spirit. Drawing on ancient healing and spiritual practices, you will enter a non-ordinary state of consciousness under the power of your own breath supported by carefully curated, evocative music in a safe setting. The practice facilitates deep self-exploration, healing, and spiritual opening. Watch or listen to video of Tami describing Holotropic Breathwork at the end of this page.
"I lived for over ten years at Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California, where I was the director of programs, and in the course of those years virtually every conceivable form of therapy and personal transformation, great and small, came through Esalen. In terms of therapeutic effectiveness, Grof's Holotropic Breathwork was by far the most powerful; there was no comparison." --Richard Tarnas, from The Passion of the Western Mind
A typical session includes two ~3-hour segments, one as a "breather" and one as a "sitter" complemented by integration and creative expression. The high volume, intriguing music begins with heavy percussion which supports the breath to enter non-ordinary states, freeing the unconscious to awaken, heal, and transform. While most people will benefit from this extraordinary practice, there are some contraindications. Please read through them and contact your health professionals if you have any concerns about your participation. You will be required to provide your consent to participate.
Holotropic Breathwork® stands out from other breathwork practices due to the depth of self-propelled inner exploration. Facilitators have taken 600+ hours of training over at least two years and commit to ongoing educational requirements and personal self-development. Grof Transpersonal Training is an exceptional, safe, and ideal training for facilitating non-ordinary states of consciousness explorations. More information about Holotropic Breathwork®.
"Had synchronicity not thrown Holotropic Breathwork into my lap, I never would have tried it. Once in the room, I allowed myself to fully participate. My experience was so profoundly, spiritually moving that I can say that single session changed me - alighting a divine fire that was longing for life." Tami Denice
