GTT Online / Ethics: Exploring the Ecology of Right Relationship (U.S. & Europe-friendly times)

2025-08-07 00:00:00

Discovering ethical Right Relationship with clients requires the same courageous approach to self-discovery that brought us to Holotropic Breathwork® and is a necessary exploration for those of us interested in facilitating this work, or those of us just wanting to learn to truly embody the ethics of what it means to be in right relationship with self and others. A Holotropic approach to ethics provides a no-blame model based on self-compassion and curiosity that supports a willingness to uncover and own our motivations, be in relational honesty with others about where we’ve been out of alignment, and make good choices on behalf of our clients and ourselves as we move forward in deepening our understanding of ourselves and the multitude of all our parts. This is an inquiry, a conversation, about what it means to embody our ethics, and an honest look at how we relate to our inner topography — how that impacts the outer, and the implications for how this influences the way we show up as space holders, both in expanded state work and otherwise. Through story, contemplative practice, small group and community conversation, somatic inquiry and other experiential practices we’ll explore in this virtual space, with compassion, topics such as: Longing and desire: the sacral wave Boundaries and consent: locating ourselves Attachment and belonging: weaving the relational fabric Touch and the physical: historical implications & doing/not doing Money, security and survival: the root chakra The ethics of doing our own work: a lifestyle Our relationship to: silence, the subtle and the wisdom within creative practice that helps us view and listen to the feelings and counsel of our many parts. Although you may attend this Virtual Module as a stand-alone event, there is also an option for those who wish to get full module credit by attending a GTT-approved double breathwork workshop. Up to two Virtual Module+Double Breathwork combinations may be counted toward the requirements for certification. This event consists of seven 3-hour sessions. To enhance the group experience for everyone, please note that you will be expected to attend all 7 sessions of the module just as you would if it were being held live, at a retreat center.

2025-09-22 00:00:00

Join us in an exploration of how the Holotropic paradigm and Stan Grof’s cartography of the psyche can be a helpful framework and set of tools for safe and effective psychedelic sitting. We’ll explore the well known concepts used in GTT’s Holotropic Breathwork® facilitator training, such as: our innate inner-healing wisdom, non-directive facilitation, integrity through presence and the idea of healing through amplification of symptoms. Through a hybrid of discussion and experiential practices, we’ll also explore:

GTT U.S. (Southern CA) Holotropic Breathwork® Double-Breathwork Retreat

2026-02-05 00:00:00

Join us for an extended weekend of Holotropic Breathwork® in the warmth of the high desert at the beautiful Royal Way Retreat Center. This event is open to all. You do not need prior experience with Holotropic Breathwork® and there are no pre-requisites to attend. NOTE: For those who complete (or have already completed) a GTT Virtual Module, this double-breathwork will fulfill the requirement toward certification. With Holotropic Breathwork® each participant gains direct access to their own inner healing wisdom. In your HB session, this wisdom brings you a unique and ideal combination of experiences that can include aspects of your personal history and birth, as well as psychological death/rebirth, and an infinite array of transpersonal experiences. Through deep, effective breathing; a specially designed musical journey; and a safe and supportive setting with a trained staff of facilitators, you experience a true expanded state of awareness, allowing deep self-exploration and personal transformation. Mandala drawing and group processing of the experiences are important integrative elements of the Holotropic process.
