Hakomi by Nature

Workshop

About

Experience the transformative power of the Hakomi Method, enhanced by an enchanted natural setting in Dordogne in Southern France

Hakomi teaches therapists a special skill of being present and opening their heart to welcome each client in their uniqueness. Being received this way creates a sense of safety, allowing the client to explore the depth of their psyche with curiosity and to meet with tenderness the parts of themselves hidden in the protective arms of their unconscious. All this takes place in mindfulness, which sharpens the attention to notice even the smallest messages subtly whispered by the body-mind system.

 

This introductory workshop takes place in a farm nestled in the breathtaking countryside near Bordeaux (Dordogne), in Southern France, and will be partly held outdoors. Nature has an ancestral way of connecting us profoundly with ourselves. We will use it as our ally, as we will venture into Hakomi and get a feel for its warm attitude toward the therapeutic relationship, its way of supporting the client’s self-discovery through body-based explorations, and its gentle way of approaching emotional wounds and turning them into healing opportunities.

What will you learn?

Over the course of two days, the group will engage in a variety of activities—short lectures, experiential exercises, small-group practices, group sharing and discussions, and faculty-led demonstration sessions. Together, these elements will create a dynamic, inclusive, and compassionate learning environment. Some of the activities will take place in nature, whose embrace will make the experience even deeper and more touching.

Participants will become familiar with:

  • The Hakomi Principles: Mindfulness, Non-Violence, Organicity, Unity, and Mind-Body Holism.
  • Relational skills for creating and deepening the therapeutic “bubble”: Loving Presence, Tracking, and Contact Statements.
  • The psychotherapeutic use of mindfulness: how to support clients in going inside, developing awareness of their internal psychic landscape, and uncovering core-level organizing patterns.
  • Hakomi’s experimental attitude: how to conduct “Little Experiments” in mindfulness to help clients discover the core-level beliefs which underlie patterns of relationship to self and others.
  • Nature as co-therapist: how to include the beauty and serenity of the natural world to support mindfulness and enhance self-awareness, making it easier for clients to connect with their emotional world and possibly foster a sense of resilience.
