Sarah Hirigoyen

We invite you for a rare opportunity to join Dr. Laurane McGlynn, special guest teacher from Ireland, Geoff Fitzpatrick and guest facilitator from England, Sarah Hirigoyen to experience the remarkable healing potential and therapeutic benefits of Holotropic Breathwork®. In this special topics workshop, we have the extraordinary opportunity to learn about the myth and mystery of Sacred Geometry and participate in the remarkable journey of creating a group sand mandala.Holotropic Breathwork™ a powerful experiential breathing process that allows for self-exploration and healing. With 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. This work can supportinner exploration, healing trauma, self-discovery, working with anxiety and depression, connection to self and others and spiritual awareness.We create a safe and supportive setting with highly trained and experienced Holotropic Breathwork facilitators. In this double breathwork workshop, each person will experience four Holotropic Breathwork® sessions (two as a breather/two as a sitter), a talk on sacred geometry and the process of creating sand mandalas, creation of a group sand mandala, sound healing session, sharing circles, mandala drawing and an evening community fire gathering.This workshop is open to new breathers, experienced breathers, those in the Grof Transpersonal Training community, Grof Legacy Training community,Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies or anyone interested in Holotropic Breathwork, Sacred Geometry or the healing nature of mandalas.
