Holotropic Canada

Holotropic breathwork uses breath as a sacred medicine to evoke extra-ordinary states of consciousness for self-discovery and healing using accelerated breathing to an exquisitely beautiful and powerful music-scape. Dr Stanislav Grof and his late wife Christina pioneered this approach starting in the 1970s when research into the healing potential of non ordinary states with psychedelic medicines was stopped. Although the protocol for Grof® Breathwork is similar to that used for sacred and psychedelic medicines, it is a substance-free and natural approach to expanding consciousness and integrating mind, body and spirit. A session follows the basic set and setting of a psychedelic session.  Grof® Legacy Training Canada credits this Grof® Breathwork in psychedelic therapy training as an experiential component.
