Great! You are interested in exploring the power of breathwork as a psychedelic. You are invited to this in-person experiential by donation.

Holotropic States of Consciousness, as described by Stanislav Grof, are states that bring about transformation, evolution and healing and have a heuristic aspect to them. For 1000’s of years humankind has entered HSC in different ways, across many cultures around the globe, to further learning, healing and creativity. This brought benefits to both individuals and their communities. Many people report that journeying in HSC, using a variety of methods, including substances and Breathwork, has been instrumental in helping them to connect with who and what they truly are and to step into their reason for being (Grof 1998). It can be incredibly empowering as it all comes from within.

Mark has experienced from his own journey, and has witnessed in those he has supported, that breathwork can be as powerful (if not more so) than working with psychedelic substances. The territory we enter is one that can be transformational, and this likelihood is increased if delivered with considered support and a strong container. This is why we are utilising the ancient practice of breathwork to safely support participation in the psychedelic field.

Why Is It Called a “Psychedelic” Experience?
 
“Psychedelic” simply means “mind-revealing.” While no substances are used, the breathwork process can bring about vivid imagery, emotional release, and altered perception — much like traditional psychedelics. Many participants find it equally profound and transformative.
 
“I believe it is essential for our planetary future to develop tools that can change the consciousness which has created the crisis which we are in” – Stan Grof
