A Flow into Breathing: Balance
This 3 hours workshop is guided by Giovanni, a fitness trainer and certified psychedelic breath® teacher from Berlin. As the session facilitator, he will guide participants through all stages of the practice, providing a safe space for them to embark on their best explorative inner journey. This session will pivot around the theme “Balance”
This session consist of 3 parts:
FLOW STATE OF MIND - The group will start with more physical and motion activities, either in pair or group. The purpose is to give each participant the opportunity to experiment and discover their own perception of the theme “Balance” (in all its meanings). There will be time for action and time for reflection.
TRANSITION - The session will then transition from an active and spatial level into a more calm and personal sphere. With a series of simple tasks each participant will slowly get in contact with themselves and end down on the floor ready to dive into the last part of the workshop.
PSYCHEDELIC BREATH® - The last part of the workshop will be a dedicated psychedelic breath® session focused on the theme explored in the previous two sections. It is a powerful practice based on alternating rhythmic, rapid breathing with periods of breath retention. It aims to create the conditions to reach a state of semi-consciousness, allowing deep introspective work and the release of inner emotions.

- Pregnancy
