New Connexion TV: New Episodes!

Have you ever experienced a rude awakening?


 

 
A spiritual awakening can be a time of great growth, but it also can be a time of confusion. An awakening can often look and feel like a mental breakdown.

Learn how to thrive during the hero’s journey.

On New Connexion TV, host Vicky Thompson welcomes authors, practitioners and visionaries to share new ideas for alternative health, spirituality and personal growth. Tune in and grow — each show is like a mini-workshop, filled with creative ways for living well.

Holotropic Breathwork™ Intensive
Deepen and strengthen your soul’s journey with Ukiah Marcus

Friday, April 20, 7-9 pm and Saturday, April 21, 9 am-9 pm

Workshop fee: $211 • Early registration: $189

Holotropic Breathwork is a powerful and transformational breathwork method of using non-ordinary states for self-exploration, personal transformation and healing. It is based on insights from modern consciousness research, depth psychology, Eastern perspectives and various spiritual practices. It was developed by Stanislav Grof, MD and Christina Grof, leading pioneers in the field of transpersonal psychology.

A highly experiential method, Holotropic Breathwork combines breathing, evocative music, focused release bodywork, mandala drawing and group sharing. By activating the unconscious and mobilizing blocked energies, this work gives us access to all levels of human experience and activates the spontaneous healing potential of the psyche.
