Why study with them?
Valde Orrenmaa
Transpersonal and cognitive therapist
Certified Holotropic Breathwork facilitator (Grof Transpersonal Training)
Mindfulness-instructor
Comparative religion (M.A.)
Valde has worked with individuals and groups in the areas of therapy, healing and inner
growth. He is passionate about creating safe spaces where the inner wisdom of the
participant can be the main guide of the inner process. Valde grounds his work in
compassion/self-compassion, embodiment and feeling of safety. As a facilitator he has a
calm, gentle and strong presence. He has worked with hundreds of different people,
especially in a retreat setting, and can truly meet participants as they are and hold space for
any inner experience. He has been organizing Holotropic Breathwork -retreats and other
workshops regularly since 2018, and has done individual therapy since 2023.
Valde can work with all kinds of inner challenges (anxiety, depression, trauma, loss of
meaning, identity crisis..). He has specialized theoretically and practically in the themes of
expanded states of consciousness and their integration (breathwork, psychedelics,
meditative practices, spontaneous experiences, spiritual emergencies..), compassion and
self-compassion, spirituality and religion, and death. He is drawn towards experiential
practices, but has also broad theoretical understanding and has been giving lectures about
these topics. He is happy to offer a session, workshop or retreat by himself or be a part of a
wider retreat-team with his skills.
