🌷What is Holotropic Breathwork?
Holotropic Breathwork was developed by Stanislav Grof M.D. and Christina Grof, pioneers in the field of Transpersonal Psychology.
The word Holotropic comes from the Greek words holos (whole) and trepein (moving toward), and can be understood as moving toward wholeness.
Through accelerated breathing and a dynamic musical journey, participants enter a non-ordinary state of consciousness. A natural process within the psyche is activated, allowing one’s own inner healing intelligence to guide the experience.

🌊 What makes Holotropic Breathwork unique?
Unlike many guided practices, Holotropic Breathwork creates space for your own inner wisdom to lead the journey.
✨ Sessions unfold without spoken guidance once the process begins
🎵 Supported by carefully selected evocative music
⏳ Breathwork sessions last approximately 3 hours
🤝 Participants work in pairs, taking turns as breather and sitter
🪷 Each breather has a dedicated sitter for support throughout the session
👐 Facilitators offer focused bodywork when needed
💫 Participants are invited to follow the wisdom of the body — moving, shaking, dancing, expressing emotions or resting naturally as the process unfolds
There is nothing to achieve and nowhere to get to.
Everything is welcome. Nothing is required.
