Please note that this retreat day will include holotropic breathwork and the following guidelines apply for safety of attendees:
Holotropic Breathwork is a powerful practice that involves deep, rapid breathing to induce altered states of consciousness. While many people find it transformative, it is **not recommended** for certain individuals due to the intense physiological and emotional effects it can trigger. Those who should **avoid** or **consult a qualified professional** before attempting Holotropic Breathwork include:

- Heart disease, arrhythmias, or previous heart attacks
- Risk of stroke or aneurysms
2. Individuals with Respiratory Issues
- Severe asthma (unless you have an inhaler and medical clearance)
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Any condition that affects normal breathing
3. Those with Neurological Disorders
- Epilepsy or a history of seizures
- Severe migraines triggered by hyperventilation
4. Individuals with Mental Health Concerns
- Schizophrenia, bipolar disorder (especially mania), or psychosis
- Severe anxiety or panic disorder (as the breathwork can amplify these)
- PTSD (unless facilitated by a trauma-informed practitioner)
5. Pregnant Women
- The intense breathing can affect oxygen levels and potentially induce labor
6. People with Recent Surgeries or Physical Injuries
- Any recent major surgery, especially affecting the chest, lungs, or head
- Detached retina or history of eye surgeries (due to pressure changes)
7. Those Using Certain Medications
- Any medications that affect heart rate or breathing (consult a doctor)
