The Holotropic Paradigm: The Psyche, The Inner Healer, & Moving Towards Wholeness

This module offers an exciting exploration of the philosophy, principles, and strategies underlying the experience and practice of Holotropic Breathwork.

Topics covered include:

the power of the Inner Healer and moving towards wholeness;
presence: the disciplines required to become an effective Holotropic Breathwork practitioner;
COEX’s: how the Inner Healer orchestrates transformation through our experiences of the psyche;
exploration of the frontiers of the psyche through Movie Yoga;
session stories: valuable teachings from practitioners through their work with breathers;
open forums focusing on every facet of the Holotropic experience;
dance, medication, music journeys and nature celebration.

During the course of the six-day workshop, each participant will experience two sessions of HB as an experiencer, or “breather,” and two sessions as a partner, or “sitter”. Besides the breathwork experiences and the topics covered (described below), there will be art, music, dancing, film, and integration during the workshop.

To participate in the module it is not necessary to have previous experience in Holotropic Breathwork. It is required to complete a brief confidential medical form. If you wish to continue with the Grof Transpersonal Training, this module is one of the four mandatory required.

The Holotropic Shift & The Power Within

Registration is still open for this workshop. Note: It is not necessary for participants to stay at the hotel where the workshop takes place, however if you do wish to stay there, a few rooms at the group rate may still be available – although it does not show on our direct hotel link. Contact us for details.

With Holotropic Breathwork each participant gains direct access to his or her own inner healing wisdom. In your HB session, this wisdom brings you a unique and ideal combination of experiences that can include aspects of your personal history and birth, as well as psychological death/rebirth, and an infinite array of transpersonal experiences. Through breathing, a specially designed musical journey, and a safe and supportive setting with a trained staff of facilitators, you experience a true expanded state of awareness, allowing deep self-exploration and personal transformation. Mandala drawing and group processing of the experiences are important integrative elements of the Holotropic process.

In addition, there will be a presentation of the breakthrough “APS” (Awareness Positioning System) technology, developed by Tav Sparks, which can be used to apply the principles of HB to enhance and upgrade your everyday life. By using this practice, every outer experience can become an opportunity for transformation and self-empowerment.

Daily schedule is below.

Spiritual Emergency: Embracing Unexpected Transformation

Understanding spiritual emergency is one of the major contributions of the holotropic perspective. Whether you are a professional or a layperson, someone interested in working with or supporting people in transformational crises, or primarily in your own growth, the module offers a rich experience and valuable information. In addition to differentiating between psychosis and spiritual emergency, we’ll also explore the intensely practical aspects of who, in these kinds of crises, can benefit from Holotropic Breathwork and how best to work with them in their emergencies. This workshop includes a discussion of the concept of spiritual emergency, its manifestations and forms, historical and anthropological perspectives, treatment strategies and work with family and friends

The Ultimate Journey: Consciousness and The Mystery of Death

356 pages

Beyond personal history and archetypal themes, a comprehensive psychology must also address the fundamental significance of birth and death. Stanislav Grof, M.D., renowned for his pioneering contributions regarding the psychological and spiritual aspects of the birth process, now adds invaluable insights from more than half a century of research and personal discovery into the experience of death and dying. Dr. Grof distills teachings from ancient wisdom and modern science that suggest how to face the process of death and dying. The ultimate journey challenges us all, and how we approach it is much more than major personal issue. Those who come to terms with death in deep experiential self-exploration tend to develop a sense of planetary citizenship, reverence for life in all its forms, and spirituality of a universal and all-encompassing nature. Such radial inner transformation might be humanityís only real chance for survival. The Ultimate Journey describes ancient and aboriginal ritual and spiritual practices that help us understand the experience of death, develop effective ways of making dying easier, and integrate it as a meaningful part of life. The book also summarizes modern studies that shed new light on a variety of phenomena related to death and dying, including psycho-spiritual death and rebirth, near-death experiences, and the new expanded cartography y of the psyche that has emerged from Grofís fifty years of research of psychedelic therapy, Holotropic Breathwork, and spontaneous psychospiritual crises.
