Neil Harris | “Holotropic Breathwork: Inspiration and Revelation”

Neil Harris is a Gestalt psychotherapist and Holotropic Breathwork facilitator. He trained in medicine and worked for 37 years as a psychiatrist, training in general adult psychiatry and then specialising in child and adolescent psychiatry. Alongside psychiatry, he trained as a Gestalt psychotherapist and has worked as a therapist in private practice for 30 years. He retired from his work as a psychiatrist at the end of 2022. He continues to practice as a psychotherapist and as a holotropic breathwork facilitator.

He was introduced to holotropic breathwork in 2015 and became a certified facilitator after six years of training. He has been a partner in HolotropicUK for 4 years, running groups in the New Forest in the south of England.

He encountered holotropic breathwork at a time of expanding curiosity for him about the transpersonal elements of his work and life, and about the roots and manifestations of consciousness. He has found a deep sense of the natural symbiosis of his learnings, his professional and private experience, and the apparently limitless possibilities of working with non-ordinary states of consciousness.
