Heliotropic BreathWork Retreat

University of Earth & Lost Sierra Retreat Center

Graeagle, CA 96103

Heliotropic BreathWork is a powerful approach to personal empowerment and self-exploration which relies on the innate inner wisdom of one’s Higher Self. The beauty of this method is its capacity to help you fulfill your spiritual, creative and emotional potentials. The reports of a vast variety of expanded states of consciousness and healings, including mental, emotional and physical ailments as well as past life traumas, is truly astonishing. Along with being legal and safer for the psyche (soul) than psychedelics, some facilitators are now indicating this type of breathwork helps to integrate previous altered states of consciousness induced by psychedelics in a way that psychedelics cannot. In Heliotropic BreathWork participants leave with suggested practices to stay connected to their Higher Self for continued healing, wholeness and transformation.

LOCATION
Located at the edge of the northern Sierra Nevada's Mohawk Valley along California's Scenic Hwy 70, University of Earth's campus is the perfect place for the "Great Work" of our times; the reinvention of self and society. Nestled at the foot of an ancient Sacred Mountain Landscape with nearly a mile of the National Wild and Scenic River, the Middle Fork of the Feather winding through its forty acres, students and visitors have the opportunity to explore and experiment with a fundamental concept of U of Earth;
Nature as the primary teacher and healer.
