Conference attendees are invited to offer morning and afternoon workshops. The open programme includes presentations, workshops, discussion topics and other activities related to breathwork, embodiment and\/or the conference theme. All of these activities are offered in a spirit of peer-group exchange and inspiration. GIC also hosts the IBF Annual General Meeting, which has evolved into a unique democratic process for decision-making.
