Join us for an extended weekend of Holotropic Breathwork® at  Sunrise Ranch Retreat Center, in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.

This event is open to all.  You do not need prior experience with Holotropic Breathwork® and there are no pre-requisites to attend.

NOTE: For those who complete (or have already completed) any GTT Virtual Module, this double-breathwork will fulfill the requirement toward certification.

With Holotropic Breathwork® each participant gains direct access to their 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 deep, effective 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.

Friday, June 30, 3:30 registration; 4:30 opening circle; 6 pm dinner, followed by preparation for Holotropic Breathwork®

This workshop is recognized as a supplement to the GTT Virtual Modules.

The workshop is suitable for those who want to explore the practice of Holotropic Breathwork® for their own personal development.

It also offers the opportunity to practice the ‘role of the sitter’ according to the requirements of the Holotropic Breathwork® training and, possibly, other psychedelic-assisted therapy trainings.

FORMAT OF THE WORKSHOP:
Double workshop: 4 breathwork sessions (2 as breathers and 2 as sitters holding space).

The workshop consists of Holotropic Breathwork® sessions with evocative music, bodywork, mandala drawing, and group sharing.

Sound is one of the most important aspects of shamanic practice. The primal sound of the universe is to be heard in the stillness of meditation. Each aspect and being of the cosmos has its own sound, its own song, which may be heard by those who simply choose to listen. The use of the voice to heal, to express our innermost being and spirituality, is often neglected. Yet, the voice mirrors the soul and to sing is to touch the deepest parts of ourselves. The healing song is a very powerful tool which speaks directly to the soul of an individual, bypassing all other barriers or inhibitions.

In the course of this workshop, we shall explore the use of the voice in shamanic practice. We will use toning and keening techniques to access our inner worlds along with exploring the use of chant to heal and unblock our energetic bodies.

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.
We will be presenting the classical differentiation between psychosis and spiritual emergency. And also explore together the many questions that the subject raises and the intensely practical aspects of who, in these kinds of crises, can benefit from Holotropic Breathwork® and how best to support a person in these emergencies.
This workshop includes a discussion of the concept of spiritual emergency, examples, manifestations, psychological perspectives, strategies and support to family and friends.

Furthermore, we will experience the healing powers of expanded states of consciousness in 4 Holotropic Breathwork sessions (2 as a breather and 2 as a sitter).
To participate, you don’t need any previous experience with Holotropic Breathwork. If you feel drawn, you are welcome!

For those interested in becoming a GTT certified facilitator please note that “Spiritual Emergency” is one of the four mandatory modules for the training.
