On the heels of a cancer diagnosis, and driven by the need for meaning and a more expansive perspective, her experience was profound and life affirming/altering. She began attending weeklong, residential Grof Transpersonal Training modules over the course of several years, integrating the work into her life as an ongoing spiritual practice. She has a deep trust in the power of Holotropic Breathwork® and in the inner, ancient wisdom within each of us. In 2005, she was certified as a Holotropic Breathwork® facilitator and has since been dedicated to offering the work to others. She regularly leads workshops throughout the U.S. and is also a module facilitator and a teacher in the Grof Transpersonal Training.

Geoff Fitzpatrick is a certified Holotropic Breathwork facilitator and guest teacher with Grof Transpersonal Training. He has studied psychology in Trinity College Dublin, and is a Graduate of the Milltown Institute of Theology where he studied spiritual enrichment. He has an active interest in modern consciousness research. He has been constructing mandalas for 10 years and is driven to promote the transformative potential of these sacred circles. Geoff f has hosted over 50 MandalaNature© in-person workshops over the last decade in Ireland.
“I have two great passions, one is the exploration of consciousness the other is the construction of mandalas. In effect these are two sides of the same coin. The first time I saw a mandala was about 25 years ago. A group of Tibetan Monks came to Trinity College Dublin. They spent a week creating a magnificent Kalachakra sand mandala. I was mesmerized by the experience, the colors, the shapes and the sound of the chak purs are as vivid in my memory today as they were all that time ago. It was eight years later in that very same university whilst studying psychology I came across mandalas for a second time. I studied the work of Carl Jung and Stanislav Grof both of whom saw the mandala as a powerful psychotherapeutic tool. The depths of the psyche that I touch when constructing mandalas are similar in tonality to those from breathwork. I have borrowed heavily from the map of consciousness drafted by Stan Grof to navigate my way through the experiences activated whilst constructing mandalas.
But the greatest teachers for me have been the shapes themselves – The geometric symbols that date back into our prehistory and their origins dwell in the very fabric of what creates the universe itself. Nothing has exposed me to more mystery or opened me to greater depths of inner experience than working with these symbols. The sum total of my seeking, the knowledge gleaned from the courses, workshops of all kinds, powerful peak experiences and exposure to enlightened teachers can be distilled down to one very simple thing…….I believe there is a greater wisdom available to us at all times. The thing is, this higher wisdom is easier to experience than it is to explain.”
