Spiritus8® Salon

The Signature Gathering of Spiritus8®

From the Hôtel de Rambouillet to the luminous evenings at 27 rue de Fleurus where Gertrude Stein welcomed Hemingway, Picasso, and Matisse, salons have long served as crucibles of thought, art, and philosophy — shaping movements and defining eras.

Spiritus8® Salon revives this tradition in contemporary form: a curated 1½ day immersion where philosophical discourse, intellectual rigor, and expanded states of consciousness converge.

Discreet. Refined. Application only.

The Salon is designed for those drawn to serious reflection and meaningful interior work — whether they steward organizations, shape culture, create art, build enterprises, or are committed to a disciplined pursuit of self-knowledge and personal evolution.

The environment is intentionally composed.
Attendance is carefully curated to preserve coherence, discretion, and depth.
The atmosphere is intelligent, intimate, and alive.

The gathering begins with cultivated conversation — a shared philosophical inquiry that sharpens perception. Dialogue unfolds with nuance and range, engaging the enduring questions that have shaped human thought across philosophy, science, and mysticism. The intellectual field is spacious, disciplined, and exploratory.

From this cultivated atmosphere, the lineage of Holotropic Breathwork® is introduced — its origins within consciousness research, the cartography of expanded states, and the ethical framework that sustains the work.

The following day is devoted to full immersion in expanded states of consciousness, catalyzed by Holotropic Breathwork®. Facilitated within a rigorously held and ethically grounded container and guided by individual sovereignty, the process allows each participant’s experience to unfold through its own intelligence.
