Embark on a four-day, three-night journey of deep self-discovery and healing with Grof® Breathwork, a transformative practice pioneered by Stan and Christina Grof. This immersive workshop offers an opportunity to connect with your inner world through a blend of accelerated breathing, evocative music, and focused bodywork, creating a unique pathway to reach holotropic states of consciousness. In this expanded state, you’ll have the space to release emotional and energetic blockages, revealing new layers of self-awareness and inner peace.
Guided by skilled facilitators, supported by a compassionate community of co-breathers and Grof Breathwork trainees, and grounded in the sanctuary of The Genesis Spiritual Center, this retreat invites you to pave the way for a deeper connection to your authentic self.
The retreat includes four Grof® Breathwork experiences (two as a breather and two as a sitter), offering a balanced and immersive introduction to our community and practice. Whether you're new to breathwork or deepening an ongoing practice, this workshop provides a safe, nurturing environment for transformation, growth, and healing.
