Grof Breathwork @ Shulgin Farm: a fundraiser for the Foundation

Join us for a historic convergence at Shulgin Farm in Lafayette, California—a two-day, non-residential Grof® Breathwork event that honors the intertwined legacies of consciousness exploration pioneers.

This two-day workshop brings Grof® Breathwork—an experiential practice combining intensified breathing, carefully selected music, and intentional bodywork—to the Farm, creating a unique synergy between these complementary approaches to consciousness exploration.

Participants will experience two complete breathwork sessions, engaging once as a breather and once as a sitter, supported by experienced facilitators.

All proceeds from this event support The Shulgin Foundation's mission to preserve this historic site as a nexus for psychedelic education and culture.

Tickets

Limited to 30 participants.

This is an event that requires a commitment to attending both Saturday and Sunday sessions. Please consider this when registering.

Your admission price of $500 (plus fees) is a donation and part of it may be tax deductible. Please consult with your tax preparer to determine this.

Your participation in this event directly supports the Foundation's mission to “To honor the Shulgins’ legacy by maintaining their historic farm as a nexus for psychedelic education and culture, and fostering a vibrant community dedicated to inquiry, healing, and expanded consciousness.”.

Refund Policy

This is a fundraising event with limited capacity (30 participants), and we rely on committed registrations to plan effectively. Because of the logistics involved - including participant travel arrangements, health form processing, and the intimate nature of the experience - we have a no-refund policy.

We understand that unexpected circumstances arise. If you need to cancel, please contact us as soon as possible. We'll review requests on a case-by-case basis and do our best to accommodate genuine emergencies or hardships.

Why this policy matters: As a fundraiser supporting The Shulgin Foundation, every registration directly contributes to our mission. Last-minute cancellations impact both the event experience and our fundraising goals. We appreciate your understanding and commitment.

By registering, you're helping us plan a meaningful experience for all participants. Thank you for your support!

Required Health Questionnaire

To help us support you well during the Grof® Breathwork experience, we ask you to complete a health information questionnaire. If we are concerned that a condition may affect or contraindicate your participation, one of our senior faculty members will contact you by email and make an appointment to discuss our concerns.

In the rare case that participation does not seem safe, your registration fee will be refunded in full. In some situations, we may ask you to modify your participation.

Often, just knowing about a situation will help us work with you safely during the workshop.

Thanks for your understanding.
