About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Supporting the synthesis of mind and body after experiencing an expanded state of consciousness.
Opening the heart, strengthening the body, calming the mind and lifting the spirit.  
Holotropic Breathwork™ is a powerful experiential breathing process that allows for self-exploration and healing. With the eyes closed and lying on a mat, each person uses their 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.
We create a safe and supportive setting, with highly trained and experienced Holotropic Breathwork and Grof Legacy Training certified facilitators. In this double breathwork workshop, each person will experience four Holotropic Breathwork sessions (two as a breather/two as a sitter).
We will explore and experience different practices to support post-session integration of expanded states of consciousness. These include nature-based practices of earthing and creating art altars in nature, sound healing session, integrative writing practice, group support and integration through sharing circles and our evening fire gathering; and expressive arts with mandala drawing. We will discuss the importance of facilitator training and presence, self-care, connection to community, social support and physical care.
Price includes 3 nights housing, 9 organic vegan/vegetarian locally sourced meals, workshop and evening fire gathering.
This workshop is open to new breathers, experienced breathers, those in the GTT Holotropic facilitator training or those interested in experiencing Holotropic Breathwork. For those who are in a psychedelic-assisted therapy training program, Grof Legacy Training or MAPS training, this workshop may fulfill your requirement for practical experience sitting for others in expanded states of consciousness.
This workshop is approved by Grof Transpersonal Training to meet the requirements for an in person double breathwork session for completion of the virtual modules. This workshop may meet the requirements for the Grof Legacy training since our team will include a Grof Legacy Training certified facilitator.

Weekend retreat stay
The property is on a beautiful, peaceful location.
Nature is all around and sometimes a little too close but you are literally surrounded by woods.

The food was really good and I liked the buffet style and fruit basket.

The gift shop although small had a nice selection of items and I purchased a few fun items.

Since the dining area was on the opposite side of the site from the convention center, a lot of students drove back and forth on the property. I chose the walking paths to get around.

Lovely
I had a fascinating and enlightening experience during an “Energy squared Reiki,” class at Menlo this past week. The grounds, rooms, facilities amenities and spa at Menla were all beautiful, clean, and peaceful. The food was delicious and nourishing. I can say only good things about both Menla and the program I attended, and would wholeheartedly recommend both.
