OPEN UP
BREATHWORK
APPROACH
Open Up is founded by Katrien Franken, and exists to create brave spaces for people to explore breathwork - and work on their inner growth and wellbeing for themselves, each other and the world.
We are pioneering breathwork at the intersection
between psychotherapy, neuroscience and spirituality with Scientific Research.
Our mission is to contribute to transformative learning and healing in a Cycle of Learning, where skills can be developed for deeper understanding and wisdom. Skills which can engage individuals to become active co-creators for a more conscious and sustainable society.
We aim to enhance our sense-making capacities for living a life of more meaning, integrity, joy and beauty. Welcome!
We are dedicated to the evolution of consciousness and invite people to uncover their truth and wake up to the workings of life in the shadows in order to come into their power and presence.
We encompass a range of therapeutic practices and explore the inner dimensions of change and healing. We explore the transformational effects of connected breathing. (mainly inspired on Holotropic Breathwork as created by Stanislav Grof)
We hope to create deeply meaningful changes in people's lives and in society, and encourage an educational and experiential approach in order to facilitate the exchange of ideas and discoveries for a mutual growth, understanding, and enrichment.
Open Up breathwork is a method of self-exploration which takes people far beyond traditional cognitive therapies.
In individual and collective experiences we expand and open through utilising the breath, bringing you in a particular set of internal experiences.
With the inner healing intelligence guiding, the quality and content brought forth, are unique to each person in that particular time and place.
It can be both liberating and exhilarating, but also challenging. It is held within safety and guidance to move beyond intellectual understanding to an embodied place of deeper knowing.
