Hakomi retreat "Connecting Through Loneliness"
Advertisement
Loneliness is a painful shared human experience. But what if our loneliness is actually an invitation to reconnect? Together we will explore this inner landscape through the lens of Hakomi and create a safe space that allows us to meet our aching isolation with curiosity, tenderness and compassion. This exploration opens us to the possibility of transforming the barriers of separation into a profound experience of unity, presence, and heartfelt belonging.
~~~
The autumn retreat will be multi-level so it will be relevant to those with some experience of Hakomi and those who are new to the method.
The gathering will be another wonderful opportunity for us to deepen our Hakomi practice together, enjoy each other’s company and celebrate and develop our Hakomi community in Estonia and internationally.
~~~
In a Hakomi multilevel training you will learn and practice the art of heartfelt relating by creating a safe and healing connection with others. We deepen our ability to be radically present with each other and to pay attention to the nonverbal communication that happens in every moment, mostly outside of our awareness. We will improve our skills to read these nonverbal signs and to create meaningful experiments based on our observations. Hakomi experiments are designed to invite into our awareness the unconscious inner organization of experience that causes unnecessary suffering in us. It will help us to find out what we need to feel happier and ultimately to gain the freedom of choice through consciousness.
WHAT IS HAKOMI?
Hakomi is a method of Somatic Psychotherapy and Mindfulness-Based Assisted Self-Discovery, developed by American psychotherapist Ron Kurtz in the 1970s. It is deeply rooted in buddhist and taoist principles in combination with modern neuroscience. Based on a trust that every individual has an inner wisdom and the power for self-healing, Hakomi uses mindfulness, non-violence and the body to facilitate personal growth and transformation.
WHAT TO EXPECT
You can expect teaching to be primarily experiential. There will be short lectures, discussions, and demonstrations, but mostly, the group will do exercises designed to convey the ideas being presented in practical, experiential ways. These exercises sometimes bring up emotions. In those situations, the trainer and the assistants know how to guide and support the process.
TRAINERS
Bettina Deuster (Germany) teaches Hakomi internationally and is the main trainer in Estonia.
Caroline Braham is a Hakomi trainer in the UK Hakomi training team, and is a Hakomi therapist in London.
