We like to invite you to a NEW series of evenings where we will work deeply with the body. The body is our book of truth, all our experiences are remembered in the body.
To experience our authentic Self we have to be in the body, it is our contact with reality.
Unfortunately even though we are born with a body, through early conditioning, through psychological wounding and trauma, we get disconnected from our body and develop defences to help ourself survive, since we are helpless as a child. This has an effect on the body, causing tensing, rigidifying, or weakness, collapse, all the way to disconnect from the body. When we are not connected to our body we loose our ground, we feel lost, insecure, we feel unsafe. Then we look outside for something or someone to save us or satisfy us.
In the Bodywork evenings that will start in September on Tuesdays, we will work with the body using a variety of techniques inspired by Reich, Lowen and Marcher, we use developmental work, expression, and safe touch, we will work with the breath, with Gestalt, and have space for personal sharing and process in an atmosphere of vulnerability and support.
As we open the body, we become aware of the tensions, the flaccidity or disconnect from the body, the embodied trauma, which made our body a body of pain or tension and armour, and we begin to let go. Slowly we come back to our natural state as we restore the energy flow in our body, feel our aliveness as well as our solidity, and reconnect with the sense of our Self as we feel rooted in the body. The body becomes once again the body of Bliss and relaxation. The evenings will be facilitated by Adhira with Imani, facilitator and trainee of the Essential Psychotherapy Institute.
On June 16th we will start with a taster for the bodywork evenings.
In this taster we will work with the body in various ways towards grounding and becoming aware of what we have been holding in the body, so that we can start letting go and experience ourself more deeply.
