Event Description:
Format: Phyllida Anam-Áire in Conversation with Mark Baugh.
Holotropic States of Consciousness, as described by Stanislav Grof, are states that bring about transformation, evolution and healing and have a heuristic aspect to them. For 1000’s of years humankind has entered HSC in different ways, across many cultures around the globe, to further learning, healing and creativity. This brought benefits to both individuals and their communities. Many people report that journeying in HSC, using a variety of methods, including substances and Breathwork, has been instrumental in helping them to connect with who and what they truly are and to step into their reason for being (Grof 1998).
Many years ago Carl Jung was often asked “Will we make it?” referring to the state the world was in. His stock reply was “Only if enough people do their inner work.”
Mark Baugh has been journeying in these states for over 20 years using different modalities and in this session he shares:
How this journeying has been transformational in getting to know himself and, authentically stepping out into the world in service
The different modalities he has used
A typical format of a session and what it looks like
What can come up in a session and why
How you can get the most from a session
The roles of journeyer, sitter and facilitator
The agreements to create a safe container
Completing with Q & A
