What is Full Circle Breathwork? Full Circle Breathwork is an intensive body-centered process that facilitates emotional, physical, and psychological release and spiritual exploration. In groups or private sessions, this powerful method combines deep breathing, evocative music, body movement, artwork, and the co-creation of safe, sacred space to support personal growth and transformation.

What does Full Circle Breathwork look like? The method is simple: lying down on a comfortable mat and working at your own pace, breathers engage in intentional, deep and rapid breathing set to evocative, rhythmic music. The breathwork bypasses our normal analytical mode and initiates a body response that can lead to deep physical and emotional release, self-expression, spiritual discovery, and relaxation.

Is Full Circle Breathwork for me? As part of registration for those new to my workshops, I hold a brief Zoom call which allows for any questions you might have, and helps to build in safety and familiarity before the workshop. Safety, agency, and choice are fundamental to Neo-Shamanic Breathwork.

Is Full Circle Breathwork the same as Holotropic Breathwork? The practice of Full Circle Breathwork comes directly out of the tradition of Holotropic Breathwork as developed by Stan and Christina Grof. The man who trained me, James Frazier, was himself trained by and worked with Grof. James builds on Grof's extensive research and experience with an added emphasis on neo-Jungian and shamanic ideas and practices. These elements provide depth and richness to the Breathwork process by emphasizing container-building and a high level of facilitator integrity. I completed James Frazier's NST facilitator training in 2015.
