An ongoing small group to learn Hakomi at your own pace
I am delighted to offer this group with my dear friend and co-trainer, Chiayu Lin, from Taiwan.
There is so much richness to be had from sharing thoughts/ideas about how we can embody Hakomi, and put it into practice. Regardless of levels of participants’ experience of Hakomi, this group will have a structured approach to practicing and reflecting on our practice of Hakomi.
The group will meet for 2.5 hours, once a month, from February to June. Group meetings to be focused on developing one’s practice of Hakomi, whether that is deepening an embodiment of Loving Presence in relationships, working with clients, exploring a growing edge, working toward certification, teaching some workshops, etc.
We will begin each meeting with a brief mindfulness practice and a Loving Presence check-in, followed by a Hakomi practice and/or a Hakomi session and discussion.
As we get to know each other, the structure of the group will become more flexible, as we follow and respond to the needs of the group, as a whole.
Participants are expected to commit to all of the sessions. After the 5 months are finished, the group will open for new participants to join. Participants already in the group will have the option to continue with the group for another 5 months.
New members wishing to join the group will each have an individual preparatory meeting with Chiayu or Marcia, to talk about your learning edges, what kind of support you are looking for, what you are hoping for, and whether this group would be a good fit and a good time for you. The cost of this individual session is included in the course fee. After your preparatory meeting, if you decide you do not want to join the mentorship group, you will only be committed to pay $100.
