We invite you to an introductory lecture on Holotropic
Breathwork and a mini-breathwork session. You will have the opportunity to
learn about Holotropic Breathwork, created by world-renowned psychiatrist Dr.
Stanislav Grof, the co-creator of Transpersonal Psychology. We will discuss how
Holotropic Breathwork was developed, give an overview of the Holotropic
paradigm, and you will experience a one-hour mini-breathwork session to music.
This is not a full-day Holotropic Breathwork group, which follows a very
specific regimen developed by Dr. Grof, including 3-hour breathwork sessions,
the opportunity to be both a breather and sitter, mandala drawing and sharing
circles. However, in the one-hour mini-breathwork experience, we will be using
the same type of deeper, faster breathing and the same type of music as in the
all-day workshop. You will get a clear sense of what results could be available
to you from a full day Holotropic Breathwork Workshop. After the breathing
session, we will explore the psychological and spiritual impacts of this inner
journey.
Using breath and music to induce expanded states of
awareness has been a practice for as long as humans have been around. Dr.
Stanislav Grof and his wife Christina developed Holotropic Breathwork at Esalen
Institute during the 1970s. It was based on the decades of consciousness
research undertaken by Grof and motivated by the desire to reproduce the
mind-expanding experiences of the psychedelic era through safe and natural
means. Holotropic Breathwork is an experiential healing modality that allows
participants to reap the benefits of the healing potential of expanded states
of consciousness that Dr. Grof discovered through his work with LSD
psychotherapy through the use of Holotropic breathing, creative
self-expression, and a specially designed three-hour musical journey.
Angel Cassidy is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
with more than 25 years of experience in the field. She has been doing
Holotropic Breathwork for the past decade. Angel trained with Dr. Stanislav
Grof and Grof Transpersonal Training (GTT) and facilitates Holotropic
Breathwork groups in the SF Bay Area with Dr. Grof, GTT, and in her private
practice.
