Sunday Oct 9th 2016:

                                              The Body Reveals, The Body Heals
 
                                     Our deepest difficulties are embedded in the body.
                                            Our deepest healing occurs in the body.
 
This workshop will teach a conceptual understanding of the body as the nexus of our well-being and as well as the locus of our defenses and unresolved issues. The workshop is relevant to helping professionals, practitioners of the healing arts as well as to those committed to personal growth.
 
Participants will learn:
  • to read the body and the memories it carries
 
  • to contact and  release ancient trauma
 
  • to understand the anatomy of emotions and how they shape the body
 
  • to support the body in containing and expressing emotion
 
  • To trust the body as a check for inner truth
 
  • to open to pleasure as a deep healing
 
And lastly to surrender to the body and live life as it truly is with its authentic joys and sorrows
 
Participants will come away with orienting concepts and practical exercises/experiments.
 
*The workshop will draw on the work of Lowen, Kellerman, Kurtz, Gendlin, Rothchild, Van Der Kolk as well as more recent modalities such as EMDR.
 
Alan Lopez, Ph.D has practiced body oriented psychotherapy for 30 years in CT, Germany, and worldwide via the internet. He lives and works in Thailand and returns to CT regularly.
 
Walter van Sambeck, Dpl.Psy.,NCC, MAC, LPC,LADC, has been a psychotherapist for over 35 years. A presenter at national and international conferences, he has led numerous therapy and training workshops in the US and Europe.

​SATURDAY Oct. 8th, 20


                                                   OPENING THE GRIP OF THOUGHT:
                                        AWARENESS, MEDITATION, AND PSYCHOTHERAPY
                                                          Meditation is awareness.
                                                                                         Ajahn Chah
This Event is NOT offered for NBCC credit.

​Both meditation and psychotherapy seek to free us from the grip of life limiting mental states. Psychotherapy tends to focus on life’s difficulties while meditation often draws people seeking bliss and peace. Yet an awareness based mediation actually confronts thought and loosens its grip in a manner compatible with therapy.
Through the process of “seeing and separating” we will practice the art of slipping out of the roaring stream of thought. By balancing focus and alertness we can be both separate from and yet know thought. Whether as a  method within therapy or as a personal daily practice, this approach can bring us a quiet freedom and sanity. We will learn both the theory and practice of “seeing and separating.”
