SUMMARY:Increase Your Drive - Bioenergetics & Group Therapy (London)
DESCRIPTION:March 21-22 2026; 10.00 – 18.00 daily \nLondon School of Capoeira\, Finsbury Park\, London \n£140 (non residential; food not included) \nwith Devaraj & Abhi \nYou have heaps of energy\, but it’s locked down inside of you. We have all been through a process of high childhood conditioning; we may also have experienced trauma; the result of this is that the majority of our energy is bound up inside of us – inaccessible. This non-residential weekend workshop will utilise the techniques of body-based therapy and group therapy to unbind your energy and give you higher drive in life. The more desire you have inside of you\, the more it will compel you to move forwards; the less you will experience low energy and low motivation. \nThis will be an intense weekend of Bioenergetics\, Breathwork and Group Therapy techniques that will leave you ready for more in life. Come expecting an intense experience. If you have a significant history of mental health issues\, please reach out to me first to check in that this workshop will be suitable for you – dev@bioenergetics.org.uk.

SUMMARY:1-Day Awareness Intensive (Tbilisi)
DESCRIPTION:Sunday March 1st: 11.00 – 18.00\nwith Devaraj\nLumos Yoga Studio\, Saburtalo\, Tbilisi\, Georgia \nBooking link and price coming soon! \nThe deepest question that we can ever ask ourselves is who? Who am I? On the surface\, it seems like a small thing. But actually this question points us all the way back to the heart of being deep within us – God. The question “who” is the deepest word in any language. \nWe will never be able to answer this question with our mind. But sincerely trying to do so is immensely valuable. When we take this question – who am I – deep inside and do our best to answer\, and to keep on answering\, slowly we dig a passage through our unconscious mind back towards the heart of creation. Each time that we look inside and try to answer the question\, we dig a little deeper. It is often not an easy journey. There are no shortcuts. It is no use trying to make yourself look spiritual with this. You have to allow your full humanity.  \nThis one-day workshop will be based around the “dyad structure.” You sit facing a partner and one of you asks the question “Who are you?” (sometimes “Who is in?). The other receives the question inside of them and has five minutes to do their best to answer it whilst their partner simply listens\, reflecting nothing back\, just being present for them. After 5 minutes\, you change over. Like this\, you continue for the whole day\, sometimes changing partners\, and having in the middle a one-hour lunch break in silence. \nExcept for when you are asking or answering the question\, you need to be in silence the whole time. It’s no use to come along for the day unless you understand this and are willing to go for it. \nThis deep\, meditative process was developed in America by Charles Berners back in the 1960s\, from the work of Indian mystic Ramana Maharshi. He named it Enlightenment Intensive. Later on another Indian mystic\, Osho\, renamed it Awareness Intensive and recommended using the question “Who is in?” \nPlease wear loose clothing and come prepared for a deep\, intense experience.

SUMMARY:Bioenergetics Therapy Day (Tbilisi)
DESCRIPTION:Centre Delia\, Tbilisi \n28 Feb 2026; 11.00 – 18.00 \nwith Devaraj \nThis one-day workshop will be a chance to both learn about and experience how to work with the body in therapy. Because all of our trauma and conditioning is mapped into the body – into our muscles and fascia – we can work with it directly there. By putting our body into specific positions and then breathing and feeling\, we can release ourselves from the grip of the past. \nDevaraj will give some theory talks as well as leading you into Bioenergetics postures. There will also be time to ask questions. The workshop is for you if you are interested in working with the body in therapy and psychology.  \nPlease wear loose clothing and come prepared for a deep experience. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/share/v/1DJ3PJq9TZ/ \n  \n

SUMMARY:From Needy to Powerful (Tbilisi)
DESCRIPTION:Feb 20-22 2026\nat Lumos Centre; 450 GEL\nFriday 19.00 – 21.30\nSaturday & Sunday 11.00 – 18.00 \nMany people experience a level of neediness in their life. Maybe it’s there all the time\, or perhaps just at certain times of day. We try to fill the hole with eating\, shopping\, scrolling online\, smoking\, alcohol\, drugs or other habits. We try to distract ourselves from it. But it never goes away\, always coming back to demand more. \nIn Reichian Therapy\, this condition is known as having “Oral Character Structure.” Usually there was some level of physical or emotional disconnection from the mother in the first year of our life and this got stored as a sense of lack\, deep inside our belly. We don’t feel this lack directly but it acts like a kind of black hole inside us\, causing us to feel needy and become over-focused on connection with others. \nNeedy people typically struggle to feel natural anger because it could lead to a loss of connection. They tend to be “pleasers” – they will do anything\, or be anyone\, to avoid confrontation. They can be beautiful people but struggle to assert themselves and often get used as “doormats” by others. \nIn this weekend workshop\, you will learn Bioenergetic techniques to fill up the inner hole and will take part in confrontational structures to restore your access to natural anger\, leaving you feeling less needy and more powerful\, able to state boundaries clearly and take a position for yourself. \nPlease be aware that this weekend will be at times emotionally intense and confrontational. Please check in with yourself that you feel ready for this. \nDevaraj teaches in simple English\, speaking slowly and not using technical language. You will need to be comfortable with basic English to take part. \n

SUMMARY:I Want Change! (Tbilisi\, Georgia)
DESCRIPTION:Jan 23-25 2026\nwith Devaraj; at Lumos Centre; 450 GEL\nFriday 19.00 – 21.30\nSaturday & Sunday 11.00 – 18.00 \nWhether working on yourself or with clients\, this workshop will show you how to create lasting change with the techniques of body-based therapy. Very often in life\, we cannot change the outside\, we can’t change the world around us. This can create a feeling of being stuck and we can develop negative\, repetitive behaviours. But when we discover how to break through into our inner world\, life can be amazing no matter where we live and what’s going on around us. Learn what you need to do when you feel stuck in life or lacking confidence.  \nThis workshop will mix Group Therapy techniques\, Sharing\, Theory\, Emotional Expression\, Bioenergetics and Breathwork\, all taken from Devaraj’s 25 years in this scene. \nIf you want to create change in your own life\, or if you work with clients and want to integrate body-based techniques into how you create change for them\, then this workshop will be ideal for you.  \nGroup Schedule: \nFriday 19.00 – 21.30:\nI will introduce the workshop and explain how we will be working this weekend. Then you have a chance to introduce yourself and speak about what you would like to get from the weekend. Then we will all do some basic exercises that help us to get into our body\, drawn from Bioenergetics. \nSaturday \n11.00 – 14.00:\nI will give a presentation\, explaining the difference between the physical world and the abstract world\, and showing how we simultaneously inhabit both. You will understand how stuckness occurs in life and how we reinforce holding patterns by the manner in which we think about ourselves and life. You will then do a series of one-to-one sharing exercises with a partner\, interspersed with various physical exercises to move energy. \n15.30 – 18.00\nYou will take part in an intense and exciting “breakthrough” exercise drawn from the world of Group Therapy. I will explain it thoroughly before we begin and you can choose whether you want to do it or prefer to just support. After this\, there will either be a breathwork exercise to round the day off\, or otherwise a chance to work in front of the group with a personal issue if you wish to – always a powerful way to invoke deep change. \nSunday\n11.00 – 14.00\nI will give some more theory\, and answer questions about creating change. Then we will do a Bioenergetics workout and then you will take part in another exciting Group Therapy session that will give you a breakthrough around expressing your needs and experiencing social acceptance.  \n15.30 – 18.00\nAs I work mostly in the moment\, and try to flow with how the group is naturally moving\, I will decide about this session at the time\, according to your needs. But it will likely contain more psychological theory and time for questions\, plus a big breathwork session or more space to work in front of the group on a personal issue\, to get a breakthrough\, guided by me. \nDevaraj teaches in simple English\, speaking slowly and not using technical language. You will need to be comfortable with basic English to take part.  \nExpect an intense and transformational experience. \n  \nhttps://youtu.be/gyjR7t_gU7w \n

SUMMARY:Bioenergetics\, Breathwork & Emotional Expression (weekend\, Tbilisi)
DESCRIPTION:December 5-7 2025 \nhttps://www.lumos.ge/en/workshops/sxeulisterapia \nFriday 19:00 – 21:00; Sat / Sun 11:00 – 18:00 \nLumos Yoga Centre\, Saburtalo\, Tbilisi\, Georgia \nwith Devaraj; non-residential; 430 GEL (160 USD) \nIf you want to create deep change in your life\, you have to work with the body. This is because all of our traumas and conditioning\, all of our past\, is held in the body. Making changes to how you think and the things that you believe is fine. But it will only create change on the surface\, not deep down. Working with the body is intense; you have to be ready for powerful experiences; but it is spontaneous and exciting too! \nIn this weekend workshop\, there will be 5 sessions\, each with a different style of body-based therapy technique. The techniques that you will learn\, you will also be able to do at home later on. \nFriday evening: Basic emotional expression using gibberish\, shaking\, dance and more. \nSaturday morning: Bioenergetics – working with posture\, breath and sensation to remove holding patterns and energetic blocks. \nSaturday afternoon: Reichian Segmental Armouring and Pelvic Release – we will work with the bands of armour identified by Wilhelm Reich that run laterally around the body and then move into working with the pelvis on the mat. \nSunday morning; Emotional Expression – we will work with expressing anger face-to-face and other forms of cathartic expression. \nSunday afternoon: Rebirthing – this is a breathwork technique done lying down on a mat. I will guide you into a style of deep breathing that takes you back into a womb-like experience where trauma can naturally be released. \nThis will a weekend of deep body-based therapy. There will be time to ask Dev questions and share about your experience too. Lunch breaks on Saturday and Sunday will be 1.5 – 2 hours to allow time for processing. If you have a history of significant mental health issues\, please email Dev before just to make sure that this workshop will be okay for you – devaraj227@gmail.com \nDevaraj is British-Iranian and has been a therapist and workshop leader for 20 years. He specialises in intense body-based process work and has led hundreds of workshops. He is the author of a range of books on body-based therapy\, available on Amazon and has a popular YouTube channel on the subject with over 10\,000 subscribers.

SUMMARY:Weekend Awareness Intensive (Georgia)
DESCRIPTION:June 5-7 2026\nNon-residential\nFriday 19.00 – 22.00\nSaturday & Sunday 11.00 – 19.00\n450 GEL\nwith Devaraj \nThe deepest question that we can ever ask ourselves is who? Who am I? On the surface\, it seems like a small thing. But actually this question points us all the way back to the heart of being\, deep within us – God. The question “who” is the deepest word in any language. \nWe will never be able to answer this question with our mind. But sincerely trying to do so is immensely valuable.

Each time that we look inside and try to answer the question\, we dig a little deeper. It is often not an easy journey. There are no shortcuts. It is no use trying to make yourself look spiritual with this. You have to allow your full humanity.  \nThis weekend meditation intensive will be based around the “dyad structure.” You sit facing a partner and one of you asks the question “Who is in?” The other receives the question inside of them and has five minutes to do their best to answer it whilst their partner simply listens\, reflecting nothing back\, just being present for them. After 5 minutes\, you change over. You continue like this for 40 minutes\, until you have each both asked and answered the question four times. Then there is a 5-minute break and you start again\, this time with a different partner. Like this you continue through the day\, from 11am to 7pm\, with a break for lunch and occasional Osho meditations.  \nThe entire process is done in strict silence. You are only permitted to speak when you are either answering or asking the question. Food and rest breaks are in silence.  \nThis deep\, meditative process was developed in America by Charles Berners back in the 1960s\, from the work of Indian mystic Ramana Maharshi. He named it Enlightenment Intensive. Later on another Indian mystic\, Osho\, renamed it Awareness Intensive and recommended using the question “Who is in?” \nDevaraj teaches in English\, so you need a very basic grasp of this language. But for the exercises themselves\, you work in the Georgian language. \nYou need to bring lunch with you each day and it is best to remain in silence from the start of the workshop on Friday evening until it ends on Sunday evening. Please wear loose clothing and come prepared for a deep\, intense experience.  \n
