Grof® Breathwork Workshop with Claire Mathews (Finland)

This retreat will be facilitated in English.

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:
Friday 4th & Saturday 5th April 2025.

We start at 18.00h EEST on Friday 4th April and we finish at 21.00h EEST on Saturday 5th April.
