Grof Holotropic Breathwork One-Day Workshop with Loriel Starr

Grof Holotropic Breathwork is a powerful practice that uses the breath and evocative music to unlock personal growth, healing, and self-discovery. Created by Dr. Stanislav Grof, a pioneer in psychedelic research as well as transpersonal psychology, and Christina Grof, a gifted teacher and spiritual guide, this method offers access to non-ordinary states of consciousness. Within these expanded states, participants can delve into the depths of their inner worlds, gaining profound insights and catalyzing personal transformation in a safe and supportive environment.

The benefits of Holotropic Breathwork are wide-ranging, from enhanced self-awareness and emotional release to deeper psychological integration and spiritual insights. Whether you are seeking healing from past traumas, a greater understanding of yourself, or a pathway to personal growth, this practice offers a unique opportunity for meaningful change. By tapping into the innate wisdom of the mind and body, Holotropic Breathwork provides a transformative journey that can lead to lasting positive shifts in every aspect of life.

Certified as a Grof Holotropic Breathwork Facilitator since 2003, Loriel has guided individuals through transformative inner journeys, offering sacred journey work in one-on-one sessions, leading Holotropic Breathwork workshops, and facilitating as part of the Grof Transpersonal Training team under the mentorship of Stanislav Grof.

In addition to her expertise in Holotropic Breathwork, Loriel is a certified Microdosing Facilitator, supporting clients in harnessing the potential of microdosing for personal growth and healing. She also provides compassionate guidance as a Psychedelic Integration Coach, helping clients process and integrate their transformative experiences into daily life.

Loriel’s commitment to somatic approaches for trauma healing inspired her to become a Level III iRest® Yoga Nidra Meditation Teacher in 2007. This transformative practice, designed to foster profound relaxation, resilience, and well-being, seamlessly integrates with her other modalities. In 2011, she deepened her expertise by completing a three-year training with Peter Levine to earn her certification as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP). These body-centered healing techniques are integral to her work, providing a solid foundation for her holistic approach to supporting clients.

In 2008, Loriel graduated from the California Institute of Integral Studies’ Sound, Voice, and Music in the Healing Arts program and has since become one of Northern California’s premier sound bath facilitators. Over the past 12 years, Loriel has produced and facilitated sound bath experiences at venues ranging from Grace Cathedral to yoga studios, music festivals, corporate wellness programs, and private events. She has been a core member of the Sound Healing Symphony at Grace Cathedral since its inception in 2015.

Loriel’s regularly sold-out offerings, such as The Sound Healing Sanctuary, Alchemy Gong Bath, SonicTrance Gong Bath, and Holo-Sonic Breathwork, reflect her respected presence in the growing field of sound healing. She is deeply fascinated by the use of sound to explore meditative states, medicinal trance, and deep rejuvenation.

“Loriel is a very experienced and knowledgeable Holotropic Breathwork facilitator. Her work at training modules and public workshops is a valuable contribution to The Grof Transpersonal Training. I give her my wholehearted recommendation.”
