As they grow up, everyone encounters various psychological issues that they need to come to terms with (recognising emotions, getting in touch with their needs, setting boundaries, interacting with peers, and so on). At each stage of development, a child needs different forms of support and different types of interaction. Our parents did not always have the opportunity or the ability to provide the support we needed. Without receiving the necessary experience, the soul becomes stuck in its development.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

As a result, we often react to difficult situations like children, teenagers or even babies. Bodywork techniques help to create the conditions for making up for the lack of care, support and love we received, and for undergoing a kind of \u2018re-parenting\u2019. The soul gains the necessary experience and becomes more mature, possessing greater resources, the ability to support itself and to solve complex life challenges.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The course consists of eight three-day modules<\/strong>, during which you will be able to resolve internal conflicts by revisiting the stages of development from adolescence back to birth and the perinatal period. You will work through traumatic experiences from the pre-verbal period (from birth to two years of age). You will develop skills for regulating your emotional states. You will establish clearer emotional and intellectual boundaries.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

You will have a clearer understanding of what you want and will be able to take steps to meet your needs. You will learn about the stages of ego development and the support you need to provide your children so that they develop a healthy sense of self and a wealth of inner resources. You will have the opportunity to develop skills that will enable you to better understand your relationships with loved ones and partners.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

1. Group dynamics: solidarity, competition and one\u2019s place within the group<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t

2. Being heard: forming your own opinions and personal rules<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The first two modules are devoted to<\/strong> group dynamics. During these modules, the group is formed as a single entity, as a unified whole. Group physical games and team-building activities are used. Particular attention is paid to getting to know one another through engagement with the physical, individual and role-based self. The level of bodily reflection is also enhanced. Participants learn to present themselves and their opinions. They become familiar with personal norms and rules. They learn to coordinate\/align their actions with those of other participants. They find their place within the group.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The third module is devoted to<\/strong> relationships between men and women, and the themes of love, friendship and sexuality. Here, through physical exercises, participants explore their emotional depth and sexuality and seek their own sense of balance. They explore strategies for interacting with a partner and their place within the family system. They learn to maintain contact and remain connected without losing their dignity or sense of self. In this module, alongside body-oriented approaches, art therapy, ideas from Jungian analysis and systemic family constellations are utilised.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The fourth module is devoted to<\/strong> freedom, the ability to act, and the theme of choice. Here, participants learn to express and assert their power. Physical models are created in which they will experience the joyful encounter of their power with that of others. They work with their own aggression. Here, the work focuses not so much on expressing aggression as on appropriating the power behind it, which enables them to manage their aggression. They also explore what prevents them from making choices. In this module, in addition to body-oriented work, breathing exercises and a shamanic drum are used (a constellation of aggression in the image of animal power).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The fifth module is devoted to<\/strong> Finding a balance between attachment and independence. We work through traumatic experiences from the period when the child was learning to crawl and walk. Here, participants explore the boundaries of their personal space, as well as territorial and social boundaries. They connect with their impulses and awaken a keen interest in life. They explore their self-image. They explore their capacity for connection and their fears of intimacy. This module involves a great deal of work on motor development and physical dramatisation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The sixth module is devoted to<\/strong> the period of breastfeeding and connecting with one\u2019s own needs. Here, participants learn to connect with what they truly need. They learn to distinguish between needs and desires (in our culture, these are often expressed by the same word). They explore their capacity to experience deep attachment. They explore the theme of support and learn self-support. They practise the ability to express their needs and insist on their fulfilment, as well as the ability to delay gratification. This module uses physical dramatisation and physical modelling, regression work and ideal parental messages. By this module, most participants have learnt to experience their traumatic experiences without losing contact with this reality, in which there is support and connection. They learn to exist in two realities simultaneously: not to go there, but to bring the difficult experiences here.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The seventh module is devoted to<\/strong> the perinatal period and existential questions. Here, participants experience the \u2018good womb\u2019 and unconditional acceptance. They explore their right to be loved and ways of existing in the world that are characteristic of mental and emotional people. In this training, regressive states and work with ideal parental messages are used even more frequently. Emotional people learn to experience and accept energetic contact, whilst mental people learn to tolerate emotions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

This is a comprehensive synthesis of all the experience gained throughout the cycle<\/strong> \u2013 to step out into the wider world with it. This is a continuation of the work on issues relating to the perinatal period. It offers the opportunity to integrate the full experience of the cycle and be reborn into a new world in a new capacity \u2013 and to earn the right to step out with all one\u2019s strength and be accepted.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Whilst performing the exercises, participants sometimes experience setbacks or lapses in their narrative. In such situations, short one-to-one sessions are held, drawing on the support of the whole group.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

These are four three-day periods spent in communion not only with dreams, but with Myth.\u00a0<\/strong> Connecting with that part of our soul which is greater than the \u2018I\u2019. It is an ancient, primal soul. It has not yet lost its connection with Nature, with the Elements, with the Spirit. This part of the soul can be a source of strength and inspiration, and a resource for tackling life\u2019s complex challenges and \u2018problems\u2019.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

As biological beings, we have evolved under the influence of the solar and lunar cycles. Consequently, the sun\u2019s daily and annual rhythms affect us. Depressive tendencies intensify in autumn, whereas in spring, on the contrary, our mood improves.\u00a0\u00a0 We will discover our inner rhythms<\/strong> and attune them to external rhythms.

Their qualities and energies are quite different.\u00a0 The energy of the East is better suited to beginnings, whilst the energy of the West is better suited to endings. Let\u2019s identify which energies and qualities we are accustomed to relying on, and which ones we need to develop in order to feel more strength and inspiration.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
