Details of this retreat
This workshop will explore how cleansing the body, heart and mind with Holotropic Breathwork® and natural detox practices can facilitate insight, healing and longevity.
You are invited to join us to experience the remarkable healing potential and therapeutic benefits of Holotropic Breathwork®, a powerful breathwork practice that allows for self-exploration and healing. With eyes closed and lying on a mat, you will use your own breath and the music in the room to enter an expanded state of consciousness. This state activates the natural inner healing potential of the breather, or “inner healer”, which guides the experience.
In this retreat, you will have the time and space to slow down, rest and relax and experience what your body may be holding physically, emotionally and psychologically that may no longer serve you and your health. During the retreat, Dr. Tom will be incorporating herbs and nutrients with special teas and smoothies to facilitate detoxification and transformation.

Four Holotropic Breathwork® Sessions (Two as a breather and two as a sitter)
