Transpersonal Breathwork Practices: Holotropic Breathwork®, Qigong, and Integrative Gestalt Practice™

Join us for a transformative workshop where ancient traditions intersect with modern science to unleash the power of transpersonal breathwork practices. Through this week-long immersive experience, you will discover the profound benefits of Holotropic Breathwork® and other multicultural techniques that have been validated by Western science.

Developed by the renowned Stanislav Grof, MD, PhD, Holotropic Breathwork® is a potent way to access non-ordinary states of consciousness without the use of psychedelics. In this workshop, you will have the opportunity to participate in four Holotropic®sessions, each designed to take you on a journey of self-discovery and transformation.

We’ll start our days with an invigorating kata led by Mac Murphy, a breathwork expert trained in China. You’ll learn qigong and other breathing practices inspired by Tummo and Wim Hof, and you’ll even have the option to take a refreshing dip in the nearby Hot Springs Creek.

Each afternoon, you’ll delve deeper into Holotropic Breathwork® in three-hour sessions. With the support of a “sitter” and under the expert guidance of Ellen Watson and Perry Holloman, you’ll explore accelerated breathing techniques that have been documented by Harvard Mind-Body Clinic co-founder Herbert Benson, MD, to have profound effects. 

This workshop also includes time for integration, including creative expressions of your experiences, such as drawing mandalas, writing poetry, and exploring your experiences using the powerful tool of Integrative Gestalt Practice under the experienced guidance of Perry and Ellen.

Relax your body and mind, and let the evocative music guide you on a journey through your chakra system! Join us for a life-changing week of self-discovery and transformation through the power of breath. Experience the convergence of ancient traditions and modern science to unlock your potential for personal growth and healing.
