Holotropic Breathwork® & Nature Immersion Workshop: a Journey into Expanding Consciousness and Rewilding in Nature

With Dr. Laurane McGlynn, Dr. Tom Francescott and Jeffrey Warren

June 26 - 29, 2023

In a safe and supportive space, surrounded by the beautiful Catskill mountains, Drs. Laurane and Tom guide you in a group experience of diving deep within to reconnect to self, others, and nature for healing and wisdom. In this Double Breathwork workshop, each person will experience four Holotropic Breathwork® sessions (two as a breather/two as a sitter) along with ample time for integration in nature.

Drawing upon ancient healing and spiritual practices, as well as modern consciousness research, Laurane and Tom co-create a sacred space that offers an opportunity to experience the remarkable healing potential of Holotropic Breathwork (HB). This process combines accelerated breathing, evocative music sets and focused energy release work which activates the inner healing potential of the breather.

Whether you are new to HB, or highly experienced, this workshop can help you reconnect with your own inner healing wisdom on a journey into expanded states of consciousness and self-discovery.

This workshop is open to new breathers, experienced breathers, those in the GTT HB facilitator training or those interested in experiencing Holotropic Breathwork. For anyone in a psychedelic-assisted therapy training program, this workshop may fulfill your requirement for practical experience sitting for others in expanded states of consciousness.

We invite you to come and experience the power and healing potential of non-ordinary states of consciousness, community and nature.
