Holotropic Breathwork® Retreat 10-12 September 2027
Over these two days, we will immerse ourselves deeply in the world of Holotropic Breathwork®, a method developed by psychiatrist Stanislav Grof, one of the founders of Transpersonal Psychology, based on the exploration of expanded states of consciousness.
This is an essentially experiential method with profound potential for transformation and self-discovery, designed to activate our inner wisdom and the natural mechanisms of self-regulation and psychological integration. It combines breathing sessions, relaxation, evocative music, bodywork, artistic expression, and group dynamics, creating a space for deep inner exploration.
Through this process, we may access profound and diverse experiences, ranging from revisiting aspects of our personal history and unresolved emotional material to perinatal experiences, symbolically or experientially connected to the birth process, and transpersonal experiences that transcend the ordinary boundaries of the body, time, and individual identity.
These experiences can bring a deep sense of connection with life, humanity, nature, and the cosmos, opening our consciousness to new perspectives on our existence. Throughout this journey, we may recognize and understand deeply rooted emotional and behavioral patterns, connect with unconscious material, and discover new possibilities for integration and transformation.
Holotropic Breathwork® offers significant potential for personal growth and transformation, supporting meaningful and lasting psychological changes. Through the release of physical and emotional tensions, the expansion of consciousness, and contact with deeper dimensions of our being, we open ourselves to a more conscious, authentic, and fulfilling relationship with ourselves and with life.
More than a breathing technique, it is an invitation to an inner journey, an encounter with our true essence, our inner resources, and the transformative potential that resides within each of us.
Join us on this profound journey of self-discovery, awareness, and transformation!
We have English translator for this retreat
At all events organized by Projeto Simplesmente at Quinta São José dos Montes, we serve two vegan meals per day (Brunch + Dinner).
