Focused bodywork in the context of Holotropic Breathwork has two aspects, theory and practice. Learning the practical aspect of bodywork depends mainly on experiencing bodywork as a Breathwork participant, in-person instruction, and ongoing experience assisting and eventually leading workshops. In terms of theory, Grof’s understanding of perinatal experience is fundamental and grounded in the evolutionary significance of human birth. His profound insight is to link the bodily birth process with psychic process and psychopathology. In this training workshop we will be spending morning discussions on the theoretical aspects of bodywork and some practical demonstrations of technique, based on our understanding as we learned from training with and working with Stan Grof for many years.  Afternoons are set aside for Breathwork sessions, followed by evening group sharing. Participants will have an opportunity to “breathe” and to “sit” or hold space for their partner during four sessions scheduled throughout the five days. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss the theory and practice of holotropic breathwork, as well as to engage in group sharing and processing after each Breathwork session. Registration includes food and lodging. Registering as a commuter is also an option. This event will be led by Lenny Gibson, Elizabeth Gibson, and Alex Paré.
