Deep Inner Healing Retreat with Holotropic Breathwork in Bengaluru

Holotropic Breathwork® is a therapeutic approach that uses accelerated breathing, evocative music, and focused bodywork to access non-ordinary states of consciousness. Developed by Stanislav Grof, it's designed to promote healing and personal growth by allowing the psyche to move toward wholeness. Under the expert guidance of Fr. K.C. Thomas—certified by the Grof Transpersonal Training (GTT) in the USA—participants engage in daily sessions that can lead to profound emotional release and insights. The retreat is structured to support this inner work through community, nature, and structured integration.

The retreat is held at a lush, 22-acre private estate in Laxmipura, on the outskirts of Bengaluru. The property is dedicated solely to the retreat, ensuring a safe and contained environment. Between breathwork sessions, you can walk among fruit trees, watch peacocks, or simply sit in the quiet of the gardens. The estate includes a yoga shala/deck for practice and a 1km lit walking path through nature, inviting you to reflect and decompress.

Fr. Thomas is joined by Sr. Regi Komoroth, also a certified Holotropic Breathwork® facilitator, who co-leads the retreats. Together, they create a nurturing and experienced space, with Sr. Regi providing support and a strong female presence. The facilitators are committed to safety and respect, with security on-site 24/7, making this retreat particularly welcoming for solo travellers, including women.

This is not a casual retreat; attendance at all sessions is mandatory, as each builds on the last. The program culminates in an integration dance on Sunday night, a celebration that allows participants to embody what they've experienced. By the final morning, when you share breakfast and prepare to leave, the transformation often feels tangible.
