The Healing Potential of
Non-Ordinary States of Consciousness:

The Legacy of Stanislav Grof

GROF® Breathwork Retreats

The GROF® Legacy Project offers residential retreats at Synergia Ranch outside of Santa Fe, New Mexico. While open to the public, these GROF® Breathwork residential offerings are attracting many licensed professionals who are on the track to become psychedelic psychotherapists. Many have already completed certificate programs with other schools or organizations. Many express a need to have more hands on experience with people in expanded states. Many realize that they need a safe place to do their own inner work.

GROF® Breathwork has proven to be an excellent tool for those interested in better supporting work in non-ordinary states of consciousness. The skill set involves learning how to carefully prepare people for deep non-ordinary state work; how to create ethical, respectful, and safe settings; how to cultivate the naturally therapeutic presence critical for effective sitting or guiding; and how to provide skillful guidance related to the integrative process that follows a deep experience. All these skills have great relevance in relation to supporting those in psycho-spiritual crisis, the dying process, recovery from trauma or addiction, as well as preparing for work in the emerging field of psychedelic psychotherapy.

Residential GROF® Breathwork retreats at Synergia will offer both a theoretical and practical introduction to the work of Stanislav Grof, MD. They will be highly experiential. Using GROF® Breathwork as a therapeutic modality, participants will have two opportunities to experience the breathwork process and two opportunities to hold space for a partner.
