The vehicle is your body – the technology is Grof breathwork – the fuel is your breath  \nWhat are Grof holotropic breathwork and holotropic states of consciousness? \nEssentially the Grof breathwork healing system enables us to learn more about ourselves\, to heal and to open to our inate wisdom. Historically Grof breathwork has its origen in the healing modality of holotropic breathwork created by Dr Stanislav Grof and his wife Christina in the 60s. It has evolved over the years and there are now two strands\, with 2 different training schools for transpersonal therapists. \nIt has 3 components: \n• Breathing\n• Music\n• Focused Energy Release Bodywork and Mandala art work \nFollowed by a sharing and healing integration circle. \n  \nBreathwork has supported many people in many different ways on their journey. It can be: \n• a powerful method of personal transformation and healing\n• an insightful personal enquiry tool to know thyself – light & shadow\n• a self-empowering way (because you do the work) to re-integrate fragmented parts of ourselves that may have been split off through guilt\, shame\, fear anger\, sadness over years of conditioning by significant others\n• a highly experiential complimentary therapeutic technology to psychotherapy\n• used to access ideas and inspiration from the transpersonal realm to improve an individual’s way of being in the world for not only the wounded but for the artist or scientist or student or inventor. The dreamlike images that can be presented in expanded states of consciousness often contain solutions to questions on our minds.\n• a deep self-care approach for the healing and helping professional\n• an evidenced based tool that can get to the root of and heal addiction and depression\n• supportive in the healing of previous emotional or physical trauma; in reducing the symptoms of depression\, anxiety and stress; in emotional expression & release and for creative inspiration. \nMany people report that Grof breathwork has been instrumental in helping them to connect with who and what they truly are and what their lives are about. A deep sense of calm and peacefulness may result from this type of work. \nThis event is in three parts: \nFirst\, a live\, on-line\, 2 hour introduction to breathwork \n\n\nThis is an important preparation session to build the container and the safety for individuals and the group. It will allow you to go deeper into your experience. \nWe will be talking about: \n\nthe format and what a session looks like\nwhat can come up in a session and why\nhow you can get the most from your session\nthe different roles of breather\, sitter and facilitator\nsafety\, safety\, safety\n\nHopefully you will understand that you will not be able to breathe if you do not attend this introductory session. There will be no time to go over it on the day with you. \nSecond\, the Retreat commences at 5pm arrival at the venue greeted with hot soup on Thursday evening \nWe will open the Retreat weekend with a Talking/Sharing Circle\, and Shamanic drumming journey. \n\nOn Fri – First Breathwork day-one session in the morning and one in the afternoon. This is repeated on Saturday and  each participant will breathe twice and sit twice– each session is about 3 hours. You will be partnered together with an ‘anam cara’ during each session.\nIntegration – starts with mandala drawing after each breathwork session and continues with a sharing after the second session and a light supper in the evening\nDance to shake off the residue of the breathwork experience with a fire ceremony.\n\nSafety is priority and as part of that participants need to complete a medical form as part of the registration. There also needs to be a commitment to fully attend the whole event. \nThird  \n\nIntegration continues with a deep sharing circle on Sunday morning and we complete with lunch at 12.30pm. We will invite you to attend a post workshop integration sharing circle one week later where you will have an opportunity to share your insights and wisdom with your fellow journiers and to have further support where needed.\n\nFacilitators: \nYour facilitators are: \nClaire Mathews +35 387 2380259 – claire@shanbolard.com \nKate Curtis +35 387 232 5383 – kate@danulodge.com \nPlease feel free to contact either of us to clarify any queries you may have. \nVenue: \nDanu Lodge is a secluded retreat and healing centre in the hills above Gorey\, C0.
