After years of working in healthcare as a physiotherapist, spiritual training and working as a digital entrepreneur Peter Vermeiren discovered and integrated the power of breath for health and happiness. He founded an institute called Breath of Freedom where he offers mediation and breathwork sessions. One type is holotropic breathwork, a New Age practice, developed by the psychiatrist Stanislaf Grof in the 1970s to enter a non-ordinary state of consciousness, comparable to the use of psychedelics.
