Track: Holotropic Art as an Expression of Inner Process

Journeying the transpersonal field with pictures.

30 years ago I had my first opening to the transpersonal field. Over the years I have mapped the experiences through drawings and
later on paintings. The last 4 paintings brought a conclusion about what the work is about. This is to turn selfworth into selfbeing,
selfeestem into selfallowence, selfjoy into selfglow and selfdependence into selfstanding. One of the paintings is "The transmodern
shamanic wheel". An attempt to integrate what I have learned from gestalt, Grof´s birthmatrices and shamanic trance.

30 years ago I did a monthlong at Esalen with Stan Grof and got a powerfull opening. Untill then I had nearby 10 years of practice with gestalt and bioenergetics. Before that a degree as an engener. I  have done the Holotripic Practitioner Education. Over the years I have mostly facilitated phsycedelic sessions. The personal results I am most happy about are the opening to painting and trancedrumming.
