Self-Exploration: 1 Day Transpersonal Breathwork Workshop—In Person
Immerse yourself in the transformative power of Transpersonal Breathwork at The Koa Clinic.
This holotropic breathwork workshop provides an opportunity for self-discovery and personal growth through two breathwork sessions, one as a breather and one as a sitter.
“Breathwork is primarily an experience of yourself in relation to your inner landscapes. It uses oxygen as a consciousness altering medicine to turn on all your systems, activating your inner healing capacities on whatever level of awareness you need. The process opens profound altered states of consciousness, releasing powerful blocked emotions and memories, creating experiences that are the most relevant and specific for you at that time. It is a journey into wholeness, allowing you to access your multidimensional self by connecting you with potentially all aspects of your consciousness.”
— Namae Ntume, Founder and Executive Director of CWays Home
Our retreat will be held at the beloved Koa Clinic in Kailua-Kona, Hawai’i. We will provide everything you need to be a breather and sitter, as well as art supplies for creating mandalas after the sessions.
Please bring a water bottle, lunch, and layers of comfortable clothing.*
*If you have asthma, please bring your inhaler.

What if I’ve never done breathwork before?
No problem. No experience is necessary.
We will give you all the information you need. It is very important that you watch the video we send to you before arriving on Saturday, even if you have been to one of our workshops before. If you’d like to learn about Holotropic States, here is a three minute video of Stan Grof, the founder of GROF breathwork, talking about the value of this kind of work throughout time and how he discovered the name “holotropic.” Or if you have more time, check out Stan’s interview with Tim Ferriss.
Why do I have to fill out a health questionnaire?
Transpersonal Breathwork is a transformative experience designed to facilitate self-exploration and healing. Due to the intense physical and emotional nature of the practice, certain health conditions may pose risks during breathwork sessions. To ensure the safety and well-being of all participants, please review the health considerations here before registering for the workshop. Please note: Retinal Detachment and Cataract Surgery are both contraindicated for this practice. You will also receive a Health Questionnaire to fill out prior to arrival.
