During this double Holotropic Breathwork (one as a Breather and one as a Sitter) you will have an opportunity to dive deep into an adventure for self-discovery and self-exploration, accessing the power of your own inner-healing mechanism using just your own breath, in the safe place and supportive setting. In an expanded state of consciousness, your healing wisdom will lead you to these aspects of your psyche which carry a charge and are ready to be processed and integrated.
Holotropic Breathwork doesn’t require any previous experience.
Participants close their eyes, lie down on a mat and after short guided relaxation, use their own breath to enter the holotropic state. Evocative music helps to activate connection to the natural inner healing process of the psyche in which individual and unique biographical, perinatal, and transpersonal fields could be explored through visions, memories, and/or movements. there are common themes in this experience but every session is unique. This work happens in pairs where the sitter is present and holding a space for the breather. in the second holotropic session, these roles are exchanged.
