Breathwork

I work with a form of breathwork similar to Stanislav Grof’s method (Grof Breathwork, or Holotropic Breathwork). This form of breathwork is a way to engage deep inner work in a non-ordinary state of consciousness simply through the breath. It is a beautiful modality for those who want to explore their inner world, release blockages, and connect with their own healing potential in a safe, supported, and substance-free way.

The combination of intention, breathing, and music, can enable unconscious material to come to the surface for expression. There can be release of emotions and traumas held in the body, re-experiencing of events from our life (even our own birth), visions and connection to the transpersonal, connection to our ancestors, spirit guides, or inner wisdom. Many people experience profound release, insights into their life and patterns, and greater sense of safety and connection to themselves.

I offer individual or pair breathwork sessions so that each breather receives full support during their process. Individual breathwork sessions can be a great introduction to non-ordinary states of consciousness, excellent preparation for a personal ritual, or for anyone who wants more support in their experience than a group could provide.

An individual breathwork session includes 2 hours of guided breathing, accompanied by music and bodywork. The sessions last about 4 hours total, as we’ll take time for preparation beforehand and processing afterwards. Please contact me for more information.

I am deeply grateful to Stanislav and Christina Grof for sharing their unique approach and wisdom for exploring the healing capability of non-ordinary states of consciousness (NOSC).

Breathwork Groups:

Grof/Holotropic Breathwork is elsewhere offered in groups, wherein people can receive the many benefits of the group field and also share in each other’s experiences. If you are interested in a breathwork group I would be happy to connect you with those leading groups in the Bay Area or elsewhere. The Grof Legacy Project website has information about breathwork groups all over the world.
