It is challenging to consider the entirety of a person's life without recognizing some level of trauma, and many individuals find it difficult to know how to address this. - Mark Epstein
MOST OF US HAVE EXPERIENCED SOME FORM OF TRAUMA IN OUR LIFETIME...
Surviving a pandemic, diagnosis and treatment of a medical illness, loss, abuse, addiction, violence, grief, social isolation, mental health challenges.... Trauma has the power to transform. However, it is some of the most difficult work a person can ever do.
Trauma can impact your body, your mind and your spirit.
Holotropic Breathwork is a journey of moving toward wholeness. In this workshop, we create a safe and supportive setting,
with highly trained and experienced Holotropic Breathwork certified facilitators, where you can begin to reconnect,
heal and regain connection to your body, yourself and life.
The New York Times described Holotropic Breathwork as an effective way to heal yourself and improve mood. The therapeutic benefits of Holotropic Breathwork can include releasing and healing trauma, improving anxiety and depression, higher insights of spiritual understanding, increased connection to self and others, and opening to compassion and love. Holotropic Breathwork™ is a powerful experiential breathing process that allows for self- exploration and healing. With the eyes closed and lying on a mat, each person uses their own breath and the music in the room to enter an expanded state of consciousness. This state activates
the natural inner healing potential of the breather which guides the experience.
In this workshop you will experience:
Four Holotropic Breathwork sessions (two as a breather/two as a sitter)
Introductory talk on Holotropic Breathwork and Working with Trauma
Engaging with Nature – Forest Bathing Practice and Foraging in Nature
Healing Sound Journey
Creative Expression through Art (Mask Making and Mandala Drawing)
Evening Fire Ritual and Healing Ceremony
Loving-Kindness Meditation
