HAWA BREATHWORK FULL DAY WORKSHOP
Breathwork has always been a profound and transformative experience, it has played a pivotal role in my healing journey and continues to do so. This amazing modality has been recognized by many to create altered states of consciousness, facilitate self-discovery, and promote overall well-being.
The concept of using breath to access non-ordinary states and promote healing has roots in various ancient traditions and has been integrated into modern therapeutic practices. Many people, myself included find that conscious breathing allows them to tap into a deeper connection with themselves, release emotional and physical tension, and even reframe their perspectives on life.
In one of my breathwork sessions, I met myself without judgment I felt completely whole and became overwhelmed with love for myself where I was not separate from anything that existed, this experience is reflective of the transformative power that can be attributed to altered states of consciousness achieved through breathwork. These states may open up new pathways for healing, allowing individuals to explore and address deep-seated issues, feel expanded states of emotion and so much more.
This truly is the breath that brings you home, home to yourself.
Hawa in Arabic means ‘the breath that brings you home’ This breathwork has been developed by one of my beautiful teachers Andrea Anstiss a transpersonal psychotherapist, who has been deeply inspired by Holotropic Breathwork. Holotropic was developed by Stan and Christine Grof in the 1970s. Stan Grof is one of the founders of transpersonal psychology for non-ordinary states of consciousness. He worked with psychedelics to access the subconscious however when these substances were banned, he and his wife created Holotropic. He turned breathwork into a psychedelic and the benefits & healing potential are profound.
Hawa Breathwork combines deep breathing with evocative music in a sacred setting, this combination allows participants to enter a non-ordinary state of consciousness, similar to what can be experienced during a shamanic journey. In this expanded state one can gain insights into emotions, patterns, beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors, change neural pathways, and integrate past experiences, giving a greater awareness into one's life and spiritual journey. Where positive changes can be made.

A little bit more about your facilitators:
Morgan, a qualified Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner and Reiki Master with a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling Theory, has considerable training and an abiding passion for embodiment healing modalities. Her own arduous 14-year journey with traumatic health challenges has led Morgan to practice Holotropic breathwork (HBW) with international experts since 2015 and to pursue training in many modalities such as Gestalt, Hawa Breathwork, Somatic Mindful practices, and Quantum Touch. “Every time I breathe, sit, or hold space for HAWA/holotropic Breathwork journeys, I’m exceedingly moved by the incredible depth of the transformations and healings that occur. This has inspired me to assist others to access deeply rooted programmes, enabling powerful shifts leading to significantly better balance, health, and harmony."
Anita is a Certified Arvigo Therapist, Holistic Pelvic Care Practitioner & Qoya Teacher. She has trained in Massage with NZ College of Massage, Arvigo Therapy with Rosita Arvigo, Holistic Pelvic Care with Tami Lynn Kent, and trained as a Teen Youth Mentor with the Shine within Academy & pursuing training in Hawa Breathwork. Breathing since she was born :) and Holotropic breathing since 2016.
For years she has been dedicated to teaching and advocating for the wisdom of the body. Anita discovered the power and wisdom of her body through her 13-year fertility journey. She knows how to love herself and her body among the ascents and descents of life. Anita teaches us how to have a deeper connection and love for our bodies so we can trust them as our personal guide to deep knowing. Anita will hold a fun, loving, open-hearted safe space where you can lean into trusting your inner healer and the wisdom of your body through non-ordinary states of consciousness.
Together Morgan and I will be providing a safe space for participants to explore altered states of consciousness.
“This seemingly simple process, combining breathing, evocative music, and other forms of sound, bodywork, and artistic expression, has an extraordinary potential for opening the way for exploring the entire spectrum of the inner world,” Stan Grof
Much love
Morgan and Anita
