Join us for a transformative weekend retreat focused on trauma healing and personal

growth through Holotropic Breathwork. This immersive workshop will guide you

through a deep dive into the wisdom of the body, showing how our lived experiences

— from perinatal to biographical and transgenerational — are stored within us,

waiting to be accessed and transformed.

We will start the weekend with a comprehensive lecture on Trauma and

Transformation providing valuable insights into how trauma impacts the mind, body,

and spirit, and how expanded states of consciousness hold a true healing potential.

We will look into the Holotropic perspective on the different types of trauma, how

trauma manifests in the body, which survival mechanisms it brings up and shed some

light on the transformative process of moving from fragmentation to wholeness

through the work in expanded states of consciousness.

By understanding how trauma is stored somatically, we will discover why practices

like Holotropic Breathwork can access these deep layers of the psyche, facilitating

profound emotional release and integration. The lecture lays the foundation for our

experiential work together, bridging scientific understanding with spiritual wisdom to

empower you on your healing journey. If you want to read more about how and why Holotropic Breathwork can be good tool for working with trauma, here is comprehensive text.

During the weekend you will be able to experience and unlock your own inner healing

wisdom though experiential exercises and two Holotropic Breathwork sessions (one

as a breather, one as a sitter), where you will access expanded states of

consciousness. Our trauma-informed integration practices will provide you with the tools to ground and work with the material that arises, helping you to integrate the insights and

experiences from your journey into your daily life. Whether you are new to Holotropic

Breathwork or seeking to deepen your practice, this weekend retreat offers a safe

and supportive environment for healing, connection, and transformation.

Retreat takes place in the Hub Feenix, in a former sanatorium close to beautiful nature in Raasepori (www.hubfeenix.fi, Högbenintie 30, 10350 Meltola).
