Welcome to a Holotropic Breathwork -workshops at Alkuvoima in Turku! We will hold two workshops that are open to everyone, and you may choose to attend either one of them or both. However, the workshops are designed to form a cohesive whole that supports a deeper process if you participate in both.

 

In the first workshop (April 10–11), we begin on Friday by getting to know the group and preparing for the inner journeys. On Saturday, we will hold two breathing sessions, where each participant will both breathe in one session and act as a sitter in the other.

​

In the second workshop (May 2–3), we meet on Saturday morning and, after the opening circle, move into the sessions, followed by a deeper focus on the integration process on Sunday. During both workshops, we provide tools for integrating the experiences, and at the end of each day, we offer guidance on how to continue the integration process in everyday life.

​

The events takes place at Alkuvoima, Turku  (Halistentie 2, https://www.alkuvoima.org/). No previous experience in breathwork is required. The price includes snacks and tea/coffee. We recommend also having a proper meal during the breathwork day, which you can either bring with you or order on site. Accommodation is not included in the event. Group size is maximum 10 persons.

​

Holotropic Breathwork is a profound method of self-exploration that strengthens the connection to your inner wisdom. During the breathwork sessions, you are invited to surrender to your own inner process in a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space—entirely at your own pace and in your own style. The method combines various therapeutic elements, such as evocative music, intensified breathing, body and emotional work, compassionate presence and support from another person, group dynamics, and preparatory and integration practices.

Jussi Alihanka

​

Certified Holotropic Breathwork facilitator (GTT) 

Psychiatrist, Specialist in addiction medicine, integrative psychotherapist, 

Vice President of HB Finland ry

j.alihanka@proton.me

https://minduu.fi/fi/profiili/jussi_alihanka

​

Jussi is originally from Rymättylä in the Turku archipelago and now lives in Kemiönsaari.   He graduated from Grof Transpersonal Training as a Holotropic Breathwork facilitator in spring 2023 and co-founded Holotropic Breathwork Finland together with Valde in 2018. Jussi's interest towards altered states of consciousness and working with them has born out from personal integrative experiences. These experiences have also guided Jussi to explore different ways of perceiving and understanding the human experience. Key elements in Jussi's work are safety and the concept of 'Inner Wisdom', which seeks to describe the spontaneous tendency of the human body, mind and soul to heal and grow. 

He believes that Holotropic Breathwork and its principles have a lot to offer for psychotherapy, healing, growth and increasing self-awareness and therefore aims to make the method better known and to increase its accessibility in Finland.
