Why Transpersonal Breathwork Journeys?
As the biggest experiential component of the Vital program, we want you to have the opportunity for a journey breathwork experience for your own personal growth. In addition, this format allows you to be a sitter for another person's journey within the group process container of the retreat. This model of pairing participants with one being the breather and the other being the sitter, the Holotropic breathwork model developed by Stan and Christina Grof. Stan was a leader in the early research of LSD and eventually developed the Holotropic breathwork model to elicit similar benefits when LSD was no longer a legal option in the United States.
The modality and Stan's underlying philosophy have stood the test of time and have been the foundational training of Joe Moore, Kyle Buller, and me. It provides a well-developed and documented framework for the use of psychedelics within the group environment. We have seen over and over again with participants, and each personally experienced, the transformational power of this modality on its own and when it is utilized for the preparation and integration of psychedelic experiences.
Transpersonal Breathwork is also an accessible modality for a much broader range of participants. These retreats are not a facilitator breathwork training program. That training is a multi-year intensive program. However, the retreat will provide a broader range of experience for you as a foundation for your path and decisions for your own future offerings or additional trainings.
Here's a clip from the breathwork experience filmed at our Costa Rica retreat last year, and here are more details about the breathwork experience.
