“Integration” is a key element in any transformational process, not just within Holotropic Breathwork® but in all aspects of life. This human journey is a continuous exploration, and how we integrate these moments—whether physical, mental, emotional, environmental, or spiritual—shapes us and our relationship to life. Embodied integration practices offer us the opportunity to reflect, learn, and apply the lessons from our past, enabling us to live more consciously and meaningfully in the present, while also allowing us to truly embody the many deaths and re-births we will move through in a lifetime. When we create space to digest and embody these insights, they unfold as somatic wisdom that enriches our daily lives. In this online module, we intend to create a deep and sacred, contemplative yet playful space where we can be present with, and process the understandings that arise from the current shifts working to be metabolized within us. This module will give practices and insights useful for practitioners to use with their clients and participants in whatever modalities they use. We’ll explore through: The art of storytelling and myth weaving Yoga and embodied movement The unfolding of words through the practice of writing The gathering of voices in communal sharing The sacredness of ritual and its timeless embrace The quiet depth of contemplative reflection 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.
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:
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.
