Thanks Renn. We have a breathwork workshop this weekend and I am printing your above post out and will pin it on the wall for people to read. Hopefully we will be able to work our way skillfully through whatever fireworks come up. My partner and I h…

A few days ago, National Public Radio (www.npr.org) had a whole segment devoted to AA. Celebrating 75 years. Lots of discussion about the model and it's pros and cons, and how it has changed. I thought of us HBW people as I listened to it. Some inte…

Hi Sharanya and Community, First about "Where is my book" - a reference by Sharanya to the fact that Regular and Sustaining level AHBI members get free signed copies of the new Holotropic Breathwork book instead of an August Inner Door Journal: the…

I think that it's more important that Stan Grof's work gets airtime than that his workshops become more popular. Must it be either/or? In at least one instance perhaps: The therapeutic marketing model is accepted by society, more or less, and this…

Profile Information

What is your interest in Holotropic Breathwork? (This will be shown on your public profile.)
As a tool for self-exploration and consciousness evolution.
How has the practice of breathwork affected your life and work? ( This will be shown on your public profile.)
HB has transformed my life. The method and the community around it provided, and continue to provide, a safe container for me to go deeply enough into my processes to come out on the other side, to continue to change and grow and die and be born and die again and be born again and to love it all. Thanks to all of you in this community for being with us here. Deep bow of gratitude, first to Stan and Christina Grof for bringing this set and setting and approach into the world, and second to all of you who are fellow travelers and co-conspirators in this great adventure. Ho!

Breathwork and Community

(An earlier version of this post was published in the AHBI Inner Door journal, in August, 1999 and included in the volume Exploring Holotropic Breathwork).

In almost all spiritual traditions participation in a spiritual community is considered indispensable for the progress of the individual. Those who participate in breathwork as a part of their spiritual path are often members of spiritual groups of various traditions. They may receive “community support” from the groups to which they… Continue

Holotropic Breathwork and Reconciliation Work

By reconciliation work I mean all kinds of "peace" work that aim not just to end or reduce conflict but actually to heal and bring together. The "Truth and Reconciliation" Commission in South Africa is a model for such work in the social and political realms.

Reconciliation Work for me means working in a skillful way even though we are in some state of painful separation - within ourselves, in our families, in our relationships, between groups, or even between humans and other species or nature… Continue

Hi Ken,

Thank you for your kind comments. I appreciate them, and looking at your mandalas, they speak to my soul. What wonderful souls we have!!

Hi Ken,

Thanks for the welcome note! Also, I wanted to thank you again for a most rewarding three days spent at your lovely home for the Holotropic Seminar last weekend. The seminar was a truly rewarding and wonderful experience for me, the people there were all such warm hearted, honest, lovely individuals, and you and Petra have truly outdone yourselves in creating such a wonderful place of love, acceptance, peace, and tranquility in your home. I really felt lonely, sad and meloncholy leaving on Sunday afternoon (the grey skies, rain, and the fact that I drove on to Zuerich and have had to spend this whole week without my family here certainly added to my sadness) but I quickly got over it by recalling the warm feelings of love I felt in your home. I am really looking forward to returning!

Lots of love,

Mike

Hi Ken,
Thanks for the welcome. Synchronistically, the retreat/workshop at Omega will be during my return home to the New York area in October, so I've signed up and am greatly looking forward to getting a true "first taste." (my solo experiments have been rather like trying to taste a drawing of a cake . . .).
Happy Travels in the Superconscious,
Doug

Ken,
I am a long time getting back to you and a lot has happened in the meantime. The spiritual emergency project that I mentioned to you six months ago has been very active in the meantime. Some indication of our work is on our group web site www.renew-ireland.com. The group is addressing human distress in a wider context than what might be defined as spiritual emergency. People within the group have had psychiatric diagnoses of schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder, depression, etc. but we prefer both the concept and language that describes all these conditions as overwhelm (or overwhelming distress) and sees the process as one of psycho-spiritual renewal. (Our theoretical core comes from Grof, Perry and Mosher, and our membership comprises "experts by experience".It is a "work-in-progress" with a group of a half dozen activist members and a broader membership of about 20. We are developing links with Crazy Diamond in the UK (www.crazydiamond.org) and EleMental in the UK and Denmark. I would be very interested in any suggestions you might have as to how we might bring discussion, networking and support through the HB forum.
Peace,
Doug Ross

Eu ñ leio em inglês. Somente em italiano, português, francês e espanhol.
Entrei na comunidade para pesquisar amadoramente a arte holotrópica por ter uma prima argentina que faz arte holotrópica e está nesta comunidade virtual.
Chama-se Alejandra Scigliano. Não faço arte sou museóloga.
