The workshop opens on Sunday evening with registration at 4.30pm, followed by opening circle, dinner and introductory talk for those who have not experienced Holotropic Breathwork before.

On Monday and Tuesday there are 2 breathwork sessions (one time ‘breathing’ and one time ‘sitting’) so all participants have an opportunity to breathe twice, with time for artwork, sharing and support if needed.
