Working with the body in therapy is radical and exciting. The greater the extent to which we can feel our body, the more grounded and open we become. Our resilience increases and our life just gets better.
This intense, 3-day workshop combines the theory and practice of Body Based Therapy. You will both learn the theory and have a deep experience. The theoretical part, led by Dev, will support you to understand how our brain comes to repress energy and emotion and the negative effects that this has on our life. The practical sessions will allow you to overcome these limitations and let your energy and your love shine through.
We will be working with Bioenergetics, Breathwork, Emotional Expression and Reichian techniques. Suitable for beginners or the more experienced.
THE THEORY
Theoretical understanding of body based therapy. Understanding repression: the body, trauma and conditioning. Holding Patterns and Dead Zones. How to release the past and move on. The resistance layer.
THE TECHNIQUES
Bioenergetics. Reichian techniques (including de-armouring). Breathwork. Emotional Expression. Osho Active Meditations and Somatic mindfulness. Sharings
