Explore Expanded consciousness, holistic health, and Nature-Based Practices for Integration
In this retreat, we invite you to slow down and join us for a remarkable week of expanded states of awareness with Holotropic Breathwork®, shamanic journeys, and guided sound meditations, balanced with timeless naturopathic wisdom, and mindful time in nature.
Holotropic Breathwork® or “moving toward wholeness” allows for selfexploration and healing through a deep inner process. With the eyes closed and lying on a mat, each person uses their own breath and the music in the room to enter an expanded state of consciousness. This state activates the natural inner healing potential of the breather, or inner healer, which guides the experience. We will create a safe space and our team are all highly trained and experienced Holotropic Breathwork® facilitators.
We will also explore core naturopathic principles: the healing power of nature and how the body can heal itself when the root cause of health symptoms are treated and not suppressed. Dr. Tom will curate naturopathic talks and group discussions based on his holistic practice using an intuitive and functional approach to whole body care. He will share important strategies and solutions for: a healthy microbiome; nutrition and diet trends; neuroplasticity and brain health; adrenal stress; and pain and inflammation.
In this retreat, you will experience:
• Four Holotropic Breathwork® sessions (two as a breather/two as a sitter)
• Naturopathic teachings and group discussions
• Guided sound meditations & shamanic journeys
• Nature-based practices and Mindfulness
• An evening community fire gathering.
You will leave with valuable tools to take charge of your health and live a happy and integrated life.
Holotropic Breathwork Note: Whether you are new to Holotropic Breathwork or highly experienced, this workshop can help you reconnect with your own inner healing wisdom. This workshop is open to new or experienced breathers or anyone interested in experiencing Holotropic Breathwork. This workshop is approved by Grof Transpersonal Training and Grof Legacy Training to meet the breathwork requirements of your training. For anyone in a psychedelic-assisted therapy training program, this workshop may fulfill your requirement for sitting for others in expanded states of consciousness. Note: This workshop is not appropriate for pregnant women, or people with serious heart conditions, epilepsy, glaucoma, retinal detachment, history of severe mental disorders, acute infectious disease, or recent injury or surgery.

Guest Presenter: Jay Dufrechou Apprentice: Emma Barton
This workshop will explore how Holotropic Breathwork® and the Enneagram can facilitate healing,
our desire for transcendence, wholeness and connection to our Divine Nature.
You are invited to join us to experience the remarkable healing potential and therapeutic benefits of Holotropic Breathwork®, a powerful breathwork practice that allows for self-exploration, transformation and healing. With eyes closed and lying on a mat, you will use your own breath and the music in the room to enter an expanded state of consciousness. This state activates the natural inner healing potential of the breather, or “inner healer”, which guides the experience.
Holotropic Breathwork is a tool for bringing unconscious material into conscious awareness. It can serve as a portal into the unconscious, allowing participants to access, process, and release unprocessed memories, trauma, and repressed emotions. For centuries, and across many cultures, expanded states of consciousness have been used as a tool for transformation and healing. The therapeutic benefits of Holotropic Breathwork® can include release and healing of trauma and grief, improving anxiety and depression, supporting recovery from addiction, higher insights of spiritual understanding, increased connection to self and others, and opening to compassion and love.
The Enneagram
Holotropic Breathwork is a practice which helps us to connect more deeply with the truth of who we are, our divine self. When we return to ordinary states of consciousness, however, we may wonder how to integrate this core truth into the fabric of our daily life – and into our own particular ego structure.
The Enneagram is an ancient teaching and a powerful tool for transformation. Understanding our Enneagram personality type can help unlock a greater understanding into the depth of who we are beyond our patterns of behavior. The Enneagram tradition exists to remind us of our unconscious patterns of behavior that keep us asleep to the truth of who we are. Weaving these two modalities together can be a powerful way to uncover, and live from, our divine/true self.
According to the Enneagram system, there are nine facets of the human personality, and no one person will fit into only one type. However, if you consider your patterns of behavior throughout your life, you will likely be able to identify a dominant one. From a spiritual perspective, our primary type is the way our soul seeks to reconnect to the Divine, or our True Nature.
Learning the Enneagram can help us find our way back to a sense of connection, alignment and resonance with our True Nature, especially once we’ve reawakened to it through the modality of breathwork. This is not a primarily cognitive process; in this retreat, our journey integrating the Enneagram and Holotropic Breathwork will be deepened through experiential practices.
In this immersive retreat, our journey integrating the Enneagram and Holotropic Breathwork will be deepened
through experiential practices and include:
* An introductory talk on the practice of Holotropic Breathwork and Exploring the Enneagram
* Four Holotropic Breathwork® sessions (two as a breather and two as a sitter)
* Sound healing Session
* Opportunities to explore the link between the Enneagram and the Holotropic Breathwork lineage
* Learn about the Enneagram theory, focusing on the three triads and the relationship between ego and Essence
* Participate in large group demonstrations and small group work to delve deeper into your Holotropic Breathwork inner work through the lens of the Enneagram.
* Embodied exercises that connect us to our somatic experience of our Enneagram type
* Nature-Based Practices
* Sharing Circles
* Mandala Drawing
