Upcoming Workshops
I offer half-day, day-long, and weekend workshops virtually, as well as in Asheville (Fairview) NC, and occasionally other U.S. locations. Participants can choose from a range of modalities to suit their own schedule and requirements including Holotropic Breathwork, Focus Breathwork, and Breathwork & Internal Family Systems.
Shift Happens in Vermont
Join us at ReTribe for five days of Breathwork, IFS, process, celebration, fire, dance, journey, community, learning, fun, eating, nature, and other stuff. All details are at the ReTribe site.
Focus Breathwork
This workshop is full. Feel free to register without paying to be added to the waiting list. Scroll to the bottom of this page to sign up for email notifications.
Throughout history, virtually every culture has provided an opportunity and a method to access nonordinary states of consciousness for inner exploration and healing. These methods have included drumming, chanting, dancing, fasting, ingesting psychoactive plants, altering breathing patterns, and many others. Drawing from centuries of such wisdom and adding insights from modern consciousness research, breathwork facilitates access to all levels of human experience, including unfinished biographical material, birth memories, transpersonal phenomena, and residues of trauma stored in the body.
Conducted in pairs in a safe and supportive setting, the process uses accelerated breathing, evocative music, and focused body work to transcend normal limitations and empower the inner healer. Group sharing allows integration of the nonordinary experience with daily life.
Facilitated by Ted Riskin, LCSW and Amy Borskey Duffer, MA, LCAS.

Scholarships are available - don't be shy to ask!
In any case, a payment is required to hold your space.
Advance registration is required. Please contact Amy or Ted if you have any questions or concerns.
Agenda
Anyone who is new to breathwork, or who wants a refresher, is invited to arrive at 12:45 for a review of the breathing technique and to get any questions answered. After the rest of the group arrives, we begin with introductions at 1:00. We then make sure everyone has a partner for the day and prepare for the breathwork. We conduct two breathing sessions to music of approximately 80 minutes, each participant having a chance to experience the breathwork as well as to hold space for a partner. We end with group sharing of any material that arose during the day.
Health & Safety
When we scheduled this workshop, Coronavirus cases in Buncombe County were pretty stable at 8 per 100,000, the lowest they have been in a year. With fans and a large area of windows, we can create effective ventilation. However, keep in mind that you will be in a room where people are breathing in and out with gusto. Of course, if you are not well on the day of the workshop, we ask that you stay home.

PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO ITS STRENUOUS NATURE, THIS WORKSHOP IS INAPPROPRIATE FOR PREGNANT WOMEN OR ANYONE WITH HEART DISEASE, SEVERE HYPERTENSION, EPILEPSY, GLAUCOMA, OR SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS.
Group Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) Cohort 13
Amy Borskey Duffer and I, with medical direction from Drs. Zak Foy and Ron Parks, are interviewing prospective participants for the next cohort of Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) incorporating the Holotropic Breathwork model. By offering KAP in a group, we can drastically lower the financial barrier to receiving this exciting new treatment, while also allowing folks to experience the support of like-minded co-journeyers.
Participants will receive four weekend in-person ketamine experiences with same-day integration, along with online integration groups. We are looking to find the most benefit from the neuroplasticity created by the medicine. The whole process will be guided by the Internal Family Systems perspective, which aligns brilliantly with the nonordinary state work and allows compassion for parts that fear the journey.
The process begins with an orientation session on May 22. See all of the details at www.groupkap.com.
One Day Workshop for Those with Ketamine Experience - with Optional Craniosacral Intervention
For those who are already familiar with the medicine, we are now offering one-day workshops for continuing benefits from ketamine, along with further integration and processing. On this day, participants will also have the opportunity to receive some craniosacral support during their journey.
Facilitated by Ted Riskin, LCSW and Amy Borskey Duffer, MA, LCAS.

Stay Home and Journey with Your Parts
Join me and see what can happen from combining the power of Breathwork with the safety of IFS. The integration of these two modalities is facilitating experiences that have not been available using either one alone.
Essentials of IFS Online Training Program
Providing a practical understanding of the IFS modality
Have you ever said, “I wish I didn’t…” or “I wish I could stop...”? Does this mean that there is more than one “I” inside of you? In a way, yes. Despite sincere intentions, different parts of our psyche can sometimes take on extreme roles or behave in ways that are out of touch with our own best interests.
How does Internal Family Systems help?
IFS is an approach to psychotherapy that identifies and harmonizes sub-personalities that are in discord within the psyche. Through healing these discordant parts of our psyche, IFS restores balance among the sub-personalities and the Self. Developed by Richard Schwartz, Ph.D. in the ’90s, IFS is a dynamic, effective way to allow Self-energy to bring balance and healing to our internal system. IFS guides us towards the foundation of being that has been with us from the first breath... The core of our true Self.
Group Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) Cohort 12
For this spring cohort, Amy Borskey Duffer and I, with medical direction from Drs. Ron Parks and Zak Foy, are offering a closed group that will experience Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) influenced by the Holotropic Breathwork model. This intensive version of GroupKAP is meant especially for those that live in other locations, so they can visit Asheville for a week of three ketamine sessions.
The format of the intensives are different in that we do not meet online in between sessions. There will be virtual orientations on April 3 and 5 and a virtual follow up on April 19. We will still offer an integration experience such as nature immersion, movement, or Soul Collage each day. We are looking to find the most benefit from the neuroplasticity created by the medicine.
The whole process will be guided by the Internal Family Systems perspective, which aligns brilliantly with the nonordinary state work and allows compassion for parts that fear the journey.
See more at www.groupkap.com.
Stay Home and Journey Longer
A chance to connect online and enter the expanded awareness made possible through Breathwork. Limited to 15 participants. We will be sharing with each other via Zoom and downloading the music to maintain high quality.
Advance registration is required.
Agenda
After you sign up, I will provide a way for you to test the audio and video technology. Depending on the number of new participants, the first 20 minutes or so of the workshop will be for answering questions about Breathwork and making sure everyone's technology is sorted out. By 3:20, everyone should be checking in and getting connected for our group breathing experience. Then, we will do one session of about an hour, followed by sharing from everyone in the group. Figure on an ending time of about 12:30.
Tuition: $30Scholarships are available - don't be shy to ask! No one turned away due to lack of funds.

With fans and a large area of windows, we can create effective ventilation. However, keep in mind that you will be in a room where people are breathing in and out with gusto. Of course, if you are not well on the day of the workshop, we ask that you stay home.

Group Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) Cohort 10 — Focus on Death and Dying
Amy Borskey Duffer and I, with medical direction from Drs. Zak Foy and Ron Parks, are interviewing prospective participants for the next cohort of Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) incorporating the Holotropic Breathwork model. By offering KAP in a group, we can drastically lower the financial barrier to receiving this exciting new treatment, while also allowing folks to experience the support of like-minded co-journeyers.
Participants will receive four weekend in-person ketamine experiences with same-day integration, along with online integration groups. We are looking to find the most benefit from the neuroplasticity created by the medicine. The whole process will be guided by the Internal Family Systems perspective, which aligns brilliantly with the nonordinary state work and allows compassion for parts that fear the journey.
This cohort will be the first with a specific theme. In conjunction with the Center for Conscious Living and Dying and the School for Unusual Life Learning, we will be exploring parts that are anxious or curious about the dying process. Of all psychedelic medicines, ketamine has been shown to overlap the most with near death experiences.
The process begins with an orientation session on September 18. See all of the details at www.groupkap.com.

Focus Breathwork
Throughout history, virtually every culture has provided an opportunity and a method to access nonordinary states of consciousness for inner exploration and healing. These methods have included drumming, chanting, dancing, fasting, ingesting psychoactive plants, altering breathing patterns, and many others. Drawing from centuries of such wisdom and adding insights from modern consciousness research, breathwork facilitates access to all levels of human experience, including unfinished biographical material, birth memories, transpersonal phenomena, and residues of trauma stored in the body.
Conducted in pairs in a safe and supportive setting, the process uses accelerated breathing, evocative music, and focused body work to transcend normal limitations and empower the inner healer. Group sharing allows integration of the nonordinary experience with daily life.
Facilitated by Ted Riskin, LCSW and Amy Borskey Duffer, MA, LCAS.

We end with group sharing of any material that arose during the day.

Essentials of IFS Online Training Program
Providing a practical understanding of the IFS modality
Have you ever said, “I wish I didn’t…” or “I wish I could stop...”? Does this mean that there is more than one “I” inside of you? In a way, yes. Despite sincere intentions, different parts of our psyche can sometimes take on extreme roles or behave in ways that are out of touch with our own best interests.
How does Internal Family Systems help?
IFS is an approach to psychotherapy that identifies and harmonizes sub-personalities that are in discord within the psyche. Through healing these discordant parts of our psyche, IFS restores balance among the sub-personalities and the Self. Developed by Richard Schwartz, Ph.D. in the ’90s, IFS is a dynamic, effective way to allow Self-energy to bring balance and healing to our internal system. IFS guides us towards the foundation of being that has been with us from the first breath... The core of our true Self.

Group Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) Cohort 5
For our 5th offering of Group Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), we invite those that live in other locations to visit Asheville during peak fall foliage for a week of three ketamine sessions.
The format of this cohort will be slightly different from our other ones. We will not be using sitters, so there will be one session each day, with time at the end for processing and integration. As such, we will not meet online in between sessions. There will be a virtual orientation on October 19 and a virtual follow up on October 29. We will still offer an integration experience such as nature immersion or movement each day. We are looking to find the most benefit from the neuroplasticity created by the medicine.
The whole process will be guided by the Internal Family Systems perspective, which aligns brilliantly with the nonordinary state work and allows compassion for parts that fear the journey.
