Register for DOUBLE HOLOTROPIC BREATHWORK INTENSIVE

The workshop consists of Holotropic Breathwork sessions where the participants are lying on a mat with their eyes closed. Each person uses the power of their own breath and the evocative music of the room to enter an expanded state of consciousness (NOSC). Such states activate our innate inner wisdom which will bring healing, release and/or insight for that particular session. 
 For this, we honor the 3 guidelines of any work with holotropic states: The preparation, the experience or session, and the integration of the experience. This retreat-workshop is suited 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, other psychedelic-assisted therapy trainings.
