ReWilding - A Holotropic Breathwork and Nature Immersion Workshop: Take a Journey Into Expanded States of Consciousness and Reconnect to nature

May 18 - May 21, 2025

Dr. Laurane McGlynn

John Stockberger

The Re-Wilding workshop is a four-day immersive retreat that integrates Holotropic Breathwork, mindfulness, sound healing and nature-based practices to work with the physical, emotional, relational and spiritual aspects of the human experience. Holotropic Breathwork® is a powerful breathwork practice that allows for self-exploration and healing. With the 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. The therapeutic benefits of Holotropic Breathwork can include releasing and healing trauma, improving anxiety and depression, higher insights of spiritual understanding, increased connection to self and others, and opening to compassion and love. In this double breathwork workshop, you will experience:
  • Four Holotropic Breathwork® sessions (two as a breather/two as a sitter) 
    •
  • A sound healing session
    •
  • Mask making
    •
  • Creating nature mandalas
    •
  • Nature-based mindfulness practices
    •
  • Forest Meditation
    •
  • An evening community fire gathering 
Whether you are new to holotropic breathwork or highly experienced, this program can help you reconnect with your own inner healing wisdom. It is open to new or experienced breathers or anyone interested in learning more about this type of breathwork. It is also approved by Grof Transpersonal Training and Grof Legacy Training to meet the breathwork requirements of your training. For anyone in a psychedelic-assisted therapy training program, this workshop may fulfill your requirement for sitting for others in expanded states of consciousness. To register, please email drmcglynn6@gmail.com*Contraindications: pregnancy, serious heart conditions, epilepsy, glaucoma, retinal detachment, history of severe mental or emotional disorders, acute infectious disease, and recent injury or surgery.

“A soul-nourishing gem. A place to dream about long after you’ve left.”

Nandy Wentzel

“It’s such an amazing and spiritual location–I came back feeling rejuvenated and recharged… It was so very special knowing the place belongs to the Dalai Lama! I loved our room. My favorite things were that there was no TV in the room, the beds were so comfortable, and it was so quiet and relaxing there with the windows opened. The grounds were amazing…”

Magda

“You know that thing when you think you soul might be finally crushed for good and the nameless, wordless, friendless dread of the city has sucked you dry? Well, this place has the cure. You can help with the grounds and garden, you can yoga and meditate, you can get the best massage in 48 states, you can eat the most delicious vegetarian cuisine, and my favorite, walk the trails and paths through bubbling brooks and over rushing waterfalls and regain your spirit and feel the beat of your heart in time to nature.”
