This is a 6 day-residential workshop, held in English, integrating lectures with deep experiential practice of Holotropic Breathwork®. Each participant will experience two sessions of HB as an experiencer, or “breather,” and two sessions as a partner, or “sitter.”
This course is aimed at persons interested in Holotropic Breathwork® practice and transpersonal psychology. This is one of the four mandatory modules to become a HB certified facilitator. It is recommended to have experienced Holotropic Breathwork before coming to this module.
In this module, we will explore the necessary elements to create a Holotropic Breathwork® music session.
We will discuss important aspects of preparation, the necessary components to conduct sessions, paying special attention to music, and the integration. We will listen to a wide variety of music for the different phases of experiences in expanded states of consciousness, immersing ourselves in an exciting and transformative journey through the world of music.
Experientially we will journey through sound and rhythm. Music has always been vital for creation, as well as a spiritual tool of transformation. It is even said about music, that it is the language of the soul. This is a unique opportunity to learn, first hand, the structure of the music that makes Holotropic Breathwork so special.
