PAST EVENT
Grof® Legacy Training is based on Stanislav Grof’s research into psychedelic therapy, holotropic breathwork, transpersonal psychology, and spiritual emergencies. His work has been published in two comprehensive volumes “The Way of the Psychonaut: Encyclopedia for Inner Journeys,” television courses, lectures, interviews, and many books.
Participants in this training will develop theoretical and practical knowledge and skills that are the result of more than 60 years of research of holotropic states of consciousness – a large category of non-ordinary states that have a healing, transformative, heuristic, and evolutionary potential. Holotropic states were identified and coined by Stanislav Grof; the term holotropic means literally “moving toward wholeness.”
Holotropic is a new word (neologism) that is composed of two Greek words – holos, meaning whole and trepo/trepein, meaning moving toward or being attracted by something. Holotropic is related to the commonly used term heliotropism — the property of plants to always move in the direction of the sun. The holotropic states of consciousness that the participants in our training will study represent a common denominator for phenomena that are important in health and emotional disorders of the human psyche.
Training authorized under Grof® Legacy Training will be conducted within various countries or regions of the world the way Stan Grof would like it to be taught. In the GROF® Legacy Training, experience and instruction in holotropic breathwork will be given, for legal trademark reasons, under the brand name GROF® Breathwork. While authorizing trainers who have been known by Stan as exceptional carriers of his work, GROF® Legacy Training is not responsible for the individual training programs, the content of their websites, their compliance with the laws of their various countries, or the actions or omissions of their trainers or trainees.
Explore the conceptual foundations of Dr. Grof’s legacy in this full day online workshop, led by members of the Grof Legacy Training-Canada with special guests Stan and Brigitte Grof. This is an informational workshop not an experiential / hands-on training.
Dr. Stanislav Grof is one of the pioneers of psychedelic psychotherapy. As Michael Pollan wrote — “the knowledge and experiential basics of both underground and legal psychedelic psychotherapy is traceable to four lineages that evolved during the pre-prohibition era. These pioneers include Al Hubbard, Timothy Leary, Leo Zeff … and Dr. Stan Grof” – the only living member of this group.
This online workshop provides an opportunity to learn about Stan Grof’s insights from the Grof Legacy Training Faculty, with Stan making live and pre-recorded contributions to the introduction, Q&A and closing. Stan is one of the major inspirations of the psychedelic renaissance. His work has inspired and educated many of its current leaders. After the prohibition of psychedelics, Stan and his late wife Christina developed a drug free technique to facilitate access to non ordinary states – Holotropic Breathwork™. The theory and practice of Holotropic Breathwork extended the theoretical and practical underpinnings of working with non-ordinary states of consciousness at a time when psychedelic medicines were banned. These protocols have become the standard upon which current psychedelic research, practice and training are based (e.g. CIIS, MAPS). Grof’s writings on his experimental, observational and experiential insights explain why many see him as the father of transpersonal psychology.
