GROF BREATHWORK

Led by Dr. Ingrid Pacey & Dr. Neil Hanon | 40 Spots | $399 (meals provided) | 8am-8pm | Conscious Mind Lab, Gastown

Dr. Ingrid Pacey and Dr. Neil Hanon, renowned experts in the field, will guide you through this journey, offering their extensive knowledge and support. Whether you are new to breathwork or have prior experience, this workshop will provide valuable insights and techniques to enhance your practice.

Join us for an immersive 1-day Grof Breathwork workshop led by Dr. Ingrid Pacey and Dr. Neil Hanon. Running from 8 am to 8 pm, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to explore the transformative modality of breathwork in depth.

Grof breathwork is an experiential method of self-exploration and psychotherapy that Stan Grof and his late wife Christina developed in the mid-1970s at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California. Holotropic breathwork combines faster breathing, evocative music, and releasing bodywork to induce intense holotropic states of consciousness, which have a remarkable healing and transformative power. This method provides access to biographical, perinatal, and transpersonal domains of the unconscious and thus to deep psychospiritual roots of emotional and psychosomatic disorders. It also makes it possible to utilize the mechanisms of healing and personality transformation that operate on these levels of the psyche. The process of self-exploration and therapy in holotropic breathwork is spontaneous and autonomous; it is governed by participant’s own inner healing intelligence rather than by following the instructions and guidelines of a particular school of psychotherapy. The sessions are conducted in groups participants work in pairs and alternate in the roles of “breathers” and “sitters.” The process is supervised by trained facilitators who assist participants whenever special intervention is necessary. Following the breathing sessions, participants express their experiences by painting mandalas and sharing accounts of their inner journeys in small groups.
