Holotropic Breathwork™ is the tool to uncover the possibilities of being, becoming and creating an everyday reality. Through the opening into our internal spaces, the connection to the power within and the wisdom of the body and mind, we are able to connect to the creative source of the energy. The source of the creation as an energy which creates and forms our lifes. To open to this connection -responsibly- wants us to focus the energy in the meaningful way. We can just play with what does it mean for us…The art as an embodied form of the spiritual insight is the way to do so. One of the means to transform the spiritual dimension to the life, to integrate -ground the spirituality- could be the work with the voice.
We invite you to this self-discovery session through the holotropic breathwork with the integrative work with the voice. We will create -the enough space- to open to the source of the energy and to aim this creativity by using our voice. This can transform in the ways of the communication, self-reflection and self-discovery leading into the directional manifestation. In the life it can be the clear communication of our needs, desires and our benefits to others.
The retreat is open for everyone who feels the call to reconnect or to enjoy the connection in the safe group setting. So called beginner or experienced one, doesn´t matter. You are fully welcome to join. Openess and curiosity are always welcome to support our reseach.
************************
The Holotropic Breathwork™ as we know it today is being formed by the observations and the research of the healing and transformative potential of altered states of consciousness in the various contexts – in the rituals of the aboriginal cultures, in the practice of the eastern mystics, or in the therapeutic setting with the substances.
This method came to the life in the times when Stanislav and Christina Grof were searching for the means how to mediate this potential in the current cultural setting.
Holotropic Breathwork is the connection of the use of breath, evocative music and the specialized bodywork in the supportive and safe setting. Through the observation of the inner processes in the holotropic breathwork we can expand the consciousness, connect with the inner wisdom, the power within, and expand the map of the inner worlds with the new qualities of cognition. We are offered to see new perspective to the reality and insights into the situations of the daily life. It is the healing process for the individual as well as for the community and the whole social system from within.
Holotropic Breathwork can be the approach suitable for the person who:
*looks for the way to heal through her/his own experience
*experiences psycho-spiritual challenges and looks for the better understanding and insights into it
*wants to release unfinished or unresolved traumas from the past
*wants to understand emocional roots of his/her physical or mental problems
*wants to expand the consciousness and keep getting to know the spiritual path
*is curious who he/she really is

Guidance with the voice work: Réka Fodor
Singer, dancer, percussionist from Transylvania, balancing the traditional, ancient way of singing and modern experimentation with voice.
She curiously investigates the relationship of space and sound, inspired by envi- ronmental, natural sounds, the human experience, connections, movements.
In her performance and teaching, her tools are radical improvisation and the ex- ploration and surpassing of our boundaries, in order to inhabit and embody more of ourselves, eventually for our wellbeing and health.
Somatic experiencing and movement exercises, bodywork are also part of her teaching regime.
“Music is a food for the soul unlike any other.
Harmonies waving and spreading within us touch hard-to-reach territories, those that are unreachable by other means of soul-searching.
Music informs and enlightens us, from within, through resonation. Our goal here is to be in the process of making the music, the expression of our own music, voicing and forming our own sound.
I am woman of sounds, I give with sounds, I feel free and full by sounds. Sounds, when they come together into a melody, they lead, flow like a stream.
Stroking, they walk the path with a gentle dance, the end of which is mysterious and invisible.
The memory of the source, the essence of depth, lives in them. There is no arrival in music, only processes, the constant intertwining of moments, presence, time- lessness.
I express my deepest reality with music, but at the same time
I look for silence to where my voice can return and from which it can be reborn. I want to caress and lead with the music, to give voice to flow,
to sound the source.
Not to move in the direction of a physical goal, but rather towards a way of life, a presence where we can meet in a different capacity, beyond material reality.
Facilitator of Holotropic Breathwork:
Andrea Košiarová
Through the curiosity and further exploration of the breath I started to reconnect psychological and somatic approach. I was formed through the dance experiences, yoga practices and the psychological studies. There is the influence of numerous Vipassana meditation retreats, yoga nidra practice, the study of tibetian buddhism and kashmir tantra, while living in Asia, to my actual approach.
The connection of the love to dance, movement and meditation came later through The 5 rhythms dance and the Holotropic breathwork. Besides the studies of transpersonal psychology in Grof Transpersonal Training my focus is on the bodywork and cranio-sacral techniques.
