"THE EMPOWERING TOUCH".
Soma-aquatic workshop for professionals and amateurs working in the field of body and emotional healing, with movement, touch, word, and with all kinds of wellness practices.
The goal is to be the best servant for wellness - of oneself and the other.
I fully agree, that the cause of the therapeutic effect is not our manipulations with the client's body. Because already the very idea of "client HAVING a body", as if it were a property, or "us moving the body", as if it were the body that has problems or that is moved, is something that takes us away from the state of union. Union of the person with his body, first of all.
In English, as in many other languages, the word "healing" comes from the word "entero" - whole. Healing in this sense means to re-unite ourselves with all our disowned, disassociated parts, the lost parts, the disconnected parts. To feel united again, with oneself and with the environment.
And it is a process that we as therapists cannot literally DO. We can't find and glue the disconnected part back together, while the client is resting. But the person himself can do it.
What is our job, then? What can we do to help?
Following all the masters with whom I learned, I face, that the only thing I can do - is to create conditions. To create the space, which empowers the union, the healing.
What does the space consist of?
Besides Mother Water herself, which is already the space that supports and teaches many things, passes on information, shares her wisdom, moves, holds and embraces, what depends on us in the creation of the space - are two things, connected:
- the quality of ATTENTION we have, and
- the RELATIONSHIP we manifest.
With strong attention, but with disempowering relationship, even harm can be caused.
It is our relationship that makes the other person "complete the game", take on a certain role, that gives him/her certain personal qualities, some of them activating, others deactivating.
What is the relationship that I want to create as a specialist, or as a parent, or as a person who accompanies the other person in his human growth?
What role do I propose to take on for the person who came to a session with me? Do I take the role of the healer, or can I give this role to the client himself?
And how do I do it? And who am I, if I do not take the role of the healer?
Having these questions activated, and having clear answers, I can support the process of the other in the most sustainable, light and effective way.
And at the end of the day, I reach the point where the healing process no longer depends solely on me, because the person is developing it on his or her own.
With all that said, I invite you to dedicate two days of your life to your professional and human development.
Increasing the possibilities of our attention through somatic practice, and increasing our capacities to serve healing, adding more consciousness to the relationships we create.
Building the space that strengthens, nurtures, empowers and leads to the experience of union - to ourselves and to others, be they our clients, friends or family.
During the intensive, we will work part of the time on land, and part in the water. Classes in the studio will be recorded for workshop participants.
