Cleansing in the Catskills: A Holotropic Breathwork® and Detoxification Retreat

This workshop will explore how cleansing the body, heart and mind with Holotropic Breathwork® and natural detox practices can facilitate insight, healing and longevity. 

You are invited to join us to experience the remarkable healing potential and therapeutic benefits of Holotropic Breathwork®, a powerful breathwork practice that allows for self-exploration and healing. With eyes closed and lying on a mat, you will use your own breath and the music in the room to enter an expanded state of consciousness. This state activates the natural inner healing potential of the breather, or “inner healer”, which guides the experience.

In this retreat, you will have the time and space to slow down, rest and relax and experience what your body may be holding physically, emotionally and psychologically that may no longer serve you and your health. During the retreat, Dr. Tom will be incorporating herbs and nutrients with special teas and smoothies to facilitate detoxification and transformation.

In this retreat you will experience:

• Four Holotropic Breathwork® Sessions (Two as a breather and two as a sitter)
• Guided Shamanic Journey
• Three Vegetarian/Vegan Meals daily with many foods and herbs from the Menla organic garden
• Dr. Tom’s Detox Tea and Detox Smoothies daily to support cleansing in your liver, kidneys, and digestion
• Integrative Writing Practice
• Mandala Drawing
• Sharing Circles
• Evening Campfire and S’mores Celebration with Storytelling
• Wellness discussions led by Dr. Tom where you will learn about:
  • The art and science of detoxification
  • Creating healthy food choices
  • Herbal tonics and longevity nutrients
  • The microbiome and gut health
  • Neuroplasticity and brain health

Optional:
Schedule an appointment at the Menla Dewa Spa to further enhance your detox:
Sauna, Cold pool plunge, massage, bodywork and healing arts services.

The therapeutic benefits of Holotropic Breathwork® can include release and healing of trauma and grief, improving anxiety and depression, supporting recovery from addiction, higher insights of spiritual understanding, increased connection to self and others, and opening to compassion and love.
