Grof® Breathwork Workshop with Ole Ry
This retreat will be facilitated in Danish.
Grof® Breathwork is a unique, powerful, experiential method of self-exploration and psychotherapy developed by Stanislav Grof and his late wife Christina, based on perennial wisdom traditions and the results of modern consciousness research.
A combination of simple means: accelerated breathing, evocative music, and energy-releasing bodywork induces deep, holotropic states of consciousness, and the activation of our inner healing capacity, physically, psychologically and spiritually. Holotropic literally means moving towards wholeness.
The sessions are usually 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.
Date:
Sat 15th & Sun 16th February 2025
Facilitator: Ole Ry
The workshop will be facilitated by Ole Ry, who is a Danish medical doctor, psychiatrist and psychotherapist MPF, appointed by Stanislav and Brigitte Grof to conduct the Grof Legacy Training in the Nordic countries, Britain and Ireland.
After a first encounter with Stan and Christina Grof and holotropic breathwork at Esalen in 1987, Ole became a Certified Facilitator in 1993. Since then, he has conducted holotropic breathwork (Grof Breathwork) internationally and has been a member of the Grof Transpersonal Training staff on several training modules and events.
