Returning to Wholeness: A Grof® Breathwork Day Retreat

Grof® Breathwork, the brand of Holotropic Breathwork currently offered by the Grof Legacy communities and authorized by Stan and Brigitte Grof, was developed by Stan and Christina Grof at the Esalen Institute in 1974. It is a powerful, experiential practice of self-exploration and healing. Through your own breath, with the support of evocative music and a safe space held by the well-experienced facilitators team, you can access your inner healing intelligence—the innate wisdom that knows how to release what is no longer serving you, restore balance, and bring insight and alignment with your higher self.

Each participant’s experience is unique. Sessions may support the release of emotional or somatic tension, unresolved experiences, or stored energy, while also offering moments of deep insight, connection, and integration. You are always encouraged to trust your own inner guidance and move at your own pace.

Who Should Attend?

This workshop is designed for: 

• Practitioners working with clients in deep or non-ordinary states of consciousness

• Breathwork facilitators seeking to deepen or refresh their skills in working with the body
