The Impassioned Body-Mind: Embracing Eros, Vitality and Healthy Disturbance

Most of us have learned that as children our exuberance, our joy and curiosity were not received well by the adult world, which did not grant us the acceptance and support we needed.  We therefore adopted strategies to cope, to hold back, and to restrain in exchange for feeling loved and cared for.  We may now even today exchange vitality, curiosity and eros with the functionalities of daily activities, and thus find ourselves lacking passion.

In this workshop, we provide participants with a meaningful and practical body-mind approach to working through and healing these issues, which keep us from stepping into the fullness of our embodied vitality and Eros. We will do this through the deep and direct experiencing of the awakening Body Self.

We will explore the healing function of energetic disturbance and how to make use of it.

Living systems need to be disturbed in order to change. Disturbance comes through the ability of the individual to feel and think differently from others, and to bring this different-ness into relationship.

The ability to be a disturbing force for another provides the client with a sense of support through being seen and directly engaged, while at the same time being challenged to take risks, and lean into new potential, in ways that are unlikely to come from within themselves.
