GROF® Legacy Project
is pleased to announce
The Healing Potential of Non-Ordinary States of Consciousness:
The Legacy of Stanislav Grof
Upcoming Retreats in Santa Fe, New Mexico
The GROF® Legacy Project will be offering four residential events in 2025 at Synergia Ranch outside of Santa Fe, New Mexico. While open to the public, these GROF® Breathwork residential offerings are attracting many licensed professionals who are on the track to become psychedelic psychotherapists. Many have already completed certificate programs with other schools or organizations. Many express a need to have more hands on experience with people in expanded states. Many realize that they need a safe place to do their own inner work.
GROF® Breathwork has proven to be an excellent tool for those interested in better supporting work in non-ordinary states of consciousness. The skill set involves learning how to carefully prepare people for deep non-ordinary state work; how to create ethical, respectful, and safe settings; how to cultivate the naturally therapeutic presence critical for effective sitting or guiding; and how to provide skillful guidance related to the integrative process that follows a deep experience. All these skills have great relevance in relation to supporting those in psycho-spiritual crisis, the dying process, recovery from trauma or addiction, as well as preparing for work in the emerging field of psychedelic psychotherapy.
Residential GROF® Breathwork retreats at Synergia will offer both a theoretical and practical introduction to the work of Stanislav Grof, MD. They will be highly experiential. Using GROF® Breathwork as a therapeutic modality, participants will have two opportunities to experience the breathwork process and two opportunities to hold space for a partner.

Testimonials
“While I have certainly helped countless patients and saved many, many lives in my career as an emergency physician, participating in a Grof® Breathwork retreat allowed me to witness and directly experience a type of profound healing that I have never seen before. I am profoundly grateful to have been introduced to this practice; but more importantly, to have begun the process of learning how to hold space that allows this level of healing to happen.”
“Holotropic breathwork is a life-changing experience. I had initially come with many questions – and I leave with many more. I’ll keep coming back until they are all answered. This is one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. It is a moral duty for us to make this accessible to many.“
“GLP offers a quintessential deep dive into the landscapes that reside at the root of personal transformation and agency. This is a life changing experience and a tool that can revolutionize and potentiate meaning, direction, and healing for creating an extraordinary life.”
“This was such a transformative experience for me and provided deeper insight into myself, my needs, and my relationships with others. I described my second session as the best massage and stretch of my life – I could feel life being breathed into parts of my body I cannot recall feeling before. I’m leaving here feeling lighter and more connected to myself and my family. Thank you for sharing your wisdom!”
“The preparation for this workshop was impeccable. I loved the gentleness and attention directed to the group. I loved being in the group and being a witness to the emotional release of others in a group – not just by an individual. I think all the teachers were amazing. And, lastly, the breathwork itself was so transformative as a tool in acceptance of my SELF.”
