COMING INTO BEING ~ PATHWAYS OF THE EMBODIED MIND

is a series of workshops designed to examine how an infant’s early life experience, embedded within a relationship matrix, establishes patterns that shape and predict an adult’s organization of experience. Underlying these patterns are neuro-developmental processes that serve as an internal, foundational resource that clients can draw upon to resolve the effects of trauma and developmental challenges later in life. Revisiting them consciously as adults allows clients to reset their earlier conditioning, enhancing their capacity to receive and integrate experience and stabilizing the secure base that is the foundation of living resiliently.

SERIES I: BASIC NEUROLOGICAL PATTERNS:
Evolutionary And Developmental Pathways Of The Nervous System

Drawing from recent developments in affective neuroscience, developmental psychology, mindfulness training, somatic psychology and relational, emotion-focused therapies, we examine the application of this work to the treatment of traumatic stress and disturbed attachment. Participants will explore the material experientially and learn innovative and practical techniques that help clients to access the innate healing intelligence of the bodymind.
