THE MISSION OF AHBI

 

    The mission of AHBI is to support the practice of Holotropic Breathwork as a resource for healing and transformation.

    We aim to do this by:
  • Striving to make Holotropic Breathwork available to all who might benefit from it.
  • Supporting the practice of Holotropic Breathwork facilitators and participants.
  • Enabling connections and communications among all who are interested in Holotropic Breathwork.
  • Promoting awareness about Holotropic Breathwork by distributing information and research in a variety of languages and formats.
  • Supporting research into the theory, practice, and effects of Holotropic Breathwork.

    Commentary: The Board approved this new mission on July 8, 2007 with two primary intentions: (1) to emphasize that membership in AHBI primarily supports its charitable role, and (2) to welcome into membership all who wish to support the practice of Holotropic Breathwork. We also affirm our intention to work internationally as much as possible. We note that the specific points of this mission statement are not listed in order of priority; indeed we expect the priority of these points to change over time, in response to the needs of our community, the capabilities of our organization, and the availability of resources. We also note that our intention to support research refers primarily to formal academic research.
