Holotropic Breathwork - an Adventure of Self - Discovery and Healing
Holotropic Breathwork™ is an exceptionally powerful, natural method of self-exploration and personal transformation through accessing expanded states of awareness. Drawing on the profound knowledge of Earth honoring and wisdom cultures, Holotropic Breathwork was founded by Stanislav and Christina Groff as a potent practice for healing past wounds and for fulfilling our full potential.

Water Purification Ceremony - Meluukat at sacred Bangli Waterfall with Ida Rsi
We are delighted to include as an important integration process a remarkable experience called ‘Melukat’ by the Balinese, a sacred water purification ceremony. Held in an ancient water temple where the convergence of 2 rivers forms natural springs, you will be accompanied through the experiences by guides. Stopping at each of a series of purification points and waterfalls, you will be blessed with holy water, which locals believe provides therapeutic benefits on a holistic level. When the water purification ceremony is finished, you will sit in meditation and experience chanting with one of Bali’s most beloved High Priestess Ida Resi Alit.
Radical Receiving - Healing the Pain of the Deep Void.
In addition to Holotropic Breathwork® breathing and sitting, participants will be invited to explore their beliefs and patterns of receiving. Many of us report struggling to receive the support, care and attention that we need in order to live with vitality and a healthy balance between giving and receiving. For some of us it is a struggle to even identify what we truly want and desire. For others, we have a well defined psyche that may prefer ‘to do it by myself’.
Facilitators Ruth Langford and Martha Calhoun will share their deep experiential knowledge and practices to help us understand the impact of omission trauma, also known as neglect trauma and refers to the psychological and emotional consequences that can result from the absence of necessary caregiving, particularly during early childhood. This also extends to an absence of belonging or a felt sense of connection to that which can hold us when we are feeling lost or on the edge of the void.
“If we never had it…. How do we know what to ask for?”
During this retreat we will explore how we have learned to ignore our innate desires and needs and the harm caused when we do not honor our own limits or the limits of others. We will experience practice that returns us into a right relationship with our need for positive connection and how we can ask for that in healthy and meaningful ways.
