ANCIENT SHAMAN STONE
A bone seeing tool. Notice the sun wheel and axe of Thor. The rune filled perimeter represents the lands of the living and the dead. This type of instrument was also very common among the Sami (Lapps) and has shamanistic origins.

Holotropic Breathwork™ was created by Dr. Stanislav Grof as a method to journey deeper into the non ordinary realms of consciousness, using deep and fast breathing, powerful evocative trance music and healing bodywork. Shamans and mystics have used the breath to access the healing potential of non ordinary reality for thousands of years.
Holotropic Breathwork™ leads one into an adventure of self discovery, self exploration and self healing. Participants have access to deep shamanic journeys, past life memories, merging with the cosmic mind, ecstatic and joyful experiences and mystical awareness states. Other experiences may include re-experiencing birth, release of energetic blockages caused by past traumas, and the healing of emotional and physical conditions.
This workshop takes place within a safe and sacred setting. Participants work in pairs, while one breathes the other sits and supports their journey. The Breathwork experience is also supported by group work and art therapy. The sessions typically last around three hours, giving adequate time to journey as deeply as you need to go.
Other activities will include Shamanic journey, time in nature, trance dancing and group sharing.
The workshop will be facilitated by Martin Duffy and team.
