About holo.general	English (USA) Esperanto German
holo.general - Forum for professional Breathwork Facilitators This is an independent email forum for all certified professional Breathwork facilitators and facilitators in training, regardless of which training organization or lineage certified them. What this space is for: * Peer discussion about professional practice and development * Sharing experiences and insights about Breathwork * Professional questions and mutual support * Discussing what we need and want as a facilitator community * Organizing ourselves as professionals doing the work, independent from training organizations * CPD (Continuous Professional Development) and quality management discussions and resources * Information concerning the field and professional work: Research articles, press articles, media, etc. * Information regarding resources for the work (though, no advertising please) * Offers specifically tailored for professional Breathwork facilitators (welcome): workshops for facilitators, special discounts, CPD-eligible offerings, etc. What this space is not for: * Mere commercial promotions or general workshop advertisements for the public * Advertising of off-topic workshops, trainings, etc. * Personal attacks or inflammatory language * Mere personal sharings on individual processes Why this forum exists: Communication channels for professional Breathwork facilitators have historically been provided and managed by training organizations that certified them. While valuable, this practice has created dependencies and fragmented the communication in the field when facilitators are certified by different organizations. This mailing list provides a neutral, peer-to-peer space, managed by professional Breathwork facilitators. It enables practitioners to connect, share, and organize as a professional community, independent of current and future structures of training organizations. A space where we can create our own clarity about what we need as professionals doing the work. How it works: This is a mirror list.
