BioDynamic Breath & Trauma Release Retreat
February 2, 2017 - February 13, 2017
BioDynamic Breath & Trauma Release (BBTR)
and Shamanic Medicine Journey
February 2 – 13, 2017
With Giten Tonkov & Chetana Barkan
OSHO Meditation, Prune, India
BioDynamic Breath & Trauma Release System (BBTRS) is built on a new approach to body-oriented healing. This profound and revolutionary system integrates specific, deep connected breathing patterns with especially designed therapeutic conscious movement, associated touch & bodywork techniques, tension release exercises, gentle emotional release, self awareness & grounding structures, sound healing and meditation practice. When skillfully combined in an integrated flow and safe environment these techniques result in removing the many layers of protective body armoring releasing long held psychological, emotional & physical tension from the core level. As a result, BBTRS may reduce and clear one’s deeply imprinted primal, religious and societal conditioning. BBTRS enables you to experience the full range of felt sensations and emotions while expanding your capacity for self~realization.
