Hakomi Mallorca was founded in 2010 by Halko Weiss and Maci Daye to offer Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy trainings and Hakomi-informed courses to the English-speaking community in Europe.
Our home is Sóller, a small and enchanting town nestled among the Tramuntana mountains on the breathtaking island of Mallorca, Spain. Some of our trainings are located here, with people coming from all over the world to join us. Other courses are exclusively online.
Our longer psychotherapy trainings follow a hybrid format. We offer mindfulness-based psychotherapy programs for therapists as well as for laypeople and Couples.
If you think that words are not enough to explore the psychological world of your clients
If you want to focus on your clients’ bodies as an essential part of the process
If you believe that mindfulness can be a tool for investigating deep wounding
If you want to bring together heart and science in the counseling room
While we value the deep interpersonal learning that occurs in live events, we redesigned the format of our Comprehensive Hakomi Therapist Training to meet the challenges of the Covid era and climate change.
Our priority has been to preserve the limbic connection and loving-kindness at the forefront of Hakomi therapy while reducing travel requirements. The new hybrid format combines live and virtual teaching segments for these reasons.

Mindfulness is an ancient tool that trains attention and promotes a compassionate, non-judgmental attitude. An essential feature of mindfulness is the cultivation of an “internal observer,” which has strong integrating features.
The observer enables clients to work with emotionally charged memories without being flooded.
CHECK OUR LIFE VIDEO-TALKS TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HOW WE USE MINDFULNESS IN PSYCHOTHERAPY
Hakomi is a mindfulness-based and body-centered psychotherapy guided by five principles: mindfulness, non-violence, unity, organicity, and mind-body holism. Hakomi incorporates the wisdom traditions of the East, contemporary body-psychotherapy, and General Systems Theory, which views individuals as self-organizing systems that contain internal blueprints for growing and becoming.
Practicing therapists, social workers, health care professionals, life coaches, bodyworkers, and people in related fields often take the Hakomi Training as the next step in their professional and personal development.
The Hakomi graduation certificate shows that you have met the training requirements only. It has no legal or accrediting significance.
Therefore, you must know what is necessary for your area to practice psychotherapy legally. In some European countries, the EAP (European Association of Psychotherapy)-certificate has value in practicing psychotherapy, particularly if you live in a country where psychotherapy is not yet regulated. Hakomi is a member of the EABP, and our training can serve as a building block toward that certificate.
For information about the EAP requirements for your country, please contact the European Association of Body Psychotherapy (EABP), a sub-organization of the EAP.
The Hakomi Method is not trauma therapy training.
However, you will learn how to identify trauma activation and help clients resource themselves. Among the Hakomi faculty, we have several trauma specialists offering ongoing training for Hakomi therapists who wish to include trauma therapy in their work.
One of the most renowned specialists in body-oriented trauma therapy is Pat Ogden, one of the founders of the Hakomi Institute. Her work grows out of Ron Kurtz’s Hakomi approach.
IFS and Hakomi support a whole-person approach and contain elements of systems theory. Some IFS trainers are Hakomi Therapists, and some Hakomi trainers are also IFS therapists. The two institutes enjoy close cooperation, mutual learning, and respect.
The Hakomi training does not include any studies or methodology of substance-based treatments. However, we do support legal research in the field, and many therapists who work legally with psychedelic substances seek out the Hakomi training to be more effective in what they do. We assume that substance-supported treatments will become more mainstream in the future.
Should that happen, the Hakomi Institute may eventually offer specialized training in this area.
