Description: Grof® Legacy Training Canada is extending an invitation to the wider community to join residential retreats using Grof® Breathwork. As a not-for-profit society GLT Canada is committed to affordable training. This retreat is the experiential companion to the web-based ‘Way of the Psychonaut’ foundational courses for certificates in breathwork and psychedelic psychotherapy. These retreats are also useful for those who have a holotropic breathwork requirement from another training program such as CIIS or MAPS. Grof certified trainers are professionals with decades of experience with breathwork and other entheogens. Participants will experience two sessions as a breather and two sessions sitting for another persons breathwork session.
Retreat objectives:
- Through use of Grof Breathwork, experience and integrate non-ordinary experiences to build a more solid foundation for your personal growth and development and a foundation for practice
- Develop a sophisticated understanding of the unfolding of the psyche towards wholeness
- Come to trust your “inner healer” to guide you and those you assist to extraordinary experiences
- Come away with key principles for safely navigating these new realms
Textbook: The Way of the Psychonaut: Encyclopedia for Inner Journeys by Stanislov Grof, MD, PhD, Volume 1, Chapter 6 holotropic breathwork is recommended but not required reading or participants. This text provides the foundation for the retreats didactic and experiential knowledge base.
