Holotropic Breathwork is a powerful practice of self-exploration and inner healing developed by psychiatrist Stanislav Grof and Christina Grof.

Using breath, music and a safe and supported setting, it opens access to expanded states of consciousness, allowing deep inner processes to unfold naturally.

The workshop offers a safe and grounded setting within the peaceful surroundings of Anam Kara Wellness at Glendalough House and is designed to support both those new to the practice and those wishing to deepen an existing journey.

The Experience

This work can open access to deeper layers of the psyche - beyond what is usually reached through ordinary awareness and traditional talk therapy. Experiences can unfold on many levels - physical, emotional, symbolic or spiritual. You may encounter forgotten memories, deep emotional processes, vivid imagery or profound insights into your life and inner world.

The day is structured around two breathing sessions, with participants taking turns in the roles of breather and sitter. The workshop also includes opening and closing circles, mandala drawing and time for integration and reflection throughout the day.

Transformative Potential

Holotropic Breathwork isn’t aimed at specific outcomes. What emerges in a session is shaped by who you are and what you are ready to meet.
Participants commonly report:

  • A release of stress and emotional weight
  • Greater clarity and perspective
  • Processing of unresolved trauma and grief
  • Transforming limiting patterns and beliefs
  • Renewed creativity
  • A deeper sense of connection - to themselves, others and the natural world

At its core, Holotropic Breathwork is a self-empowering practise, led entirely by our own inner wisdom - a natural capacity within each of us that knows what we need and moves towards it in its own way.

What’s Included

An evening meal, tea, coffee, light snacks and all mandala-drawing materials are provided. Please bring a packed lunch and a water bottle, and wear comfortable, loose clothing.

A Note On Suitability

Holotropic Breathwork is a deep experiential practice and is not suitable for everyone. Because the process can involve intense physical and emotional experiences, it is not recommended for people who are pregnant or living with certain cardiovascular conditions, epilepsy, severe hypertension, recent surgeries, osteoporosis or severe mental health conditions.

Registration includes a short, confidential medical questionnaire, and we ask everyone new to our workshops to have a brief check-in call beforehand. This helps us make sure the day is safe and right for you.
