A Center for Holistic Therapy and Transformational Learning
The Body Never Lies! SOMATICS SEMINAR Extended Enrollment: Join by December 17, 2010
Supporting Healing Professionals in Working with the Body A bi-weekly seminar introducing the fundamental concepts that Healing Professionals need to understand when working with the body.
WHY THERAPISTS STUDY BODY PSYCHOTHERAPY The connection between body, emotions, mind and soul is very powerful! It offers incredibly powerful levels of access to the client's emotions to the skilled practitioner. Unfortunately, many therapists do not have somatic training or feel uncomfortable in dealing with the energies of the body. Others hate anatomy, are simply worried to do something wrong or are afraid to elicit overly strong emotional reactions in their clients. Whatever therapists limitations may be, this course is designed to help them to become grounded and comfortable with the body as an integral aspect of therapeutic interventions.
WHO IS THE SEMINAR FOR? Healing practitioners who are curious about thepotential of somatic work, or who want to gobeyond their current comfort zone. We invite anyone who wants to learn more about the intricate andamazing connections between Body, Emotions, Mind,Will, and Spirit, and specifically…
• Bodyworkers, massage therapists, yoga teachers, psychotherapists and any other health counselors • Therapists who use any form of touch and movement in their work and look for skill building, supervision and consultation • Healing professionals who have difficulties holding boundaries with clients • Clinicians who want to learn how to “read” the body and integrate energetic work and somatic interventions in their current practice
THE PROGRAM The Somatic Seminar offers an introduction to the power of body-centered modalities. It will give healing practitioners easy-to-apply tools and insights in the mechanisms of the “mind-body connection” and is a general introduction to the potential of body-centered evolutionary process work. The Somatics Seminar will be based on the theories and practical applications of Core Energetics and its founder, John Pierrakos, MD. It will include information from bioenergetics and other forms of Neo-Reichian work, as well as psychosomatics and the neurophysiology of emotions.
We will study the powerful and complexprocesses between therapist and client that arise when working with the body. This course is highly participatory and experiential because helping professionals using touch must have their own experience in order to safely guide their client in their personal growth process. You will FEEL what you are learning. It will lead you to the places where mind and body meet. THIS SEMINAR INCLUDES: • BODY-ORIENTED PROCESS • EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING • INTENSIVE SELF DISCOVERY • PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION
No prior somatic training or bodywork experience is necessary!

Core Energetics as an example of a mind-body healing modality: Core Energetics is an evolutionary process of personal transformation. It combines methods of body-psychotherapy, energy work and spiritual grounding. It is based on the work of psychiatrist John Pierrakos, MD. His work focused on bringing mind, body and soul together. The basic aim is to help a person live from their Core, a state of pleasure, truth and harmony that is reached when a person is in full energetic flow. This approach includes deep bodywork, breathwork, expressive techniques for emotional release and is grounded in the spiritual philosophy of the Pathwork. Core Energetics can stand alone as a modality of emotional healing and personal transformation, and it can also be applied as an auxiliary modality to other forms of psychotherapy, such as addiction hehabilitation.
