Each Hakomi day can be attended as a complete event, or you can attend more than one to deepen your experience. Each day will be a small group with a maximum of 10 participants. For students of Hakomi, each day can be counted toward the 42 days required to complete a Hakomi Training. You can attend one or all of the days. Each workshop will explore a particular theme through the lens of Hakomi experiential practices. There will be more information about each theme on the Bethlehem Centre’s website.
The Bethlehem Centre has been a healing sanctuary for decades. Give yourself a day to retreat and restore. Registration includes a delicious vegetarian lunch, made on the premises.
Hakomi is a way of being that supports emotional healing. In the ancient Hopi language, Hakomi means, “How do I stand in relation to these many realms?” or more simply, “Who am I?”
Hakomi is, at its heart, a way to be with ourselves and with others to support our own and each other’s emotional healing. When we are truly in touch with kindness, we can try out new ways of seeing the world (and our relationship to it) that open the door to have more of what we need in our lives and our relationships. The method is based on the principles of Loving Presence, Non-Violence, Mind-Body Holism, Mindfulness, Unity and Organicity. It is gentle and profound, all in the same breath.
Although sometimes used as a psychotherapy method, Hakomi was designed by Ron Kurtz to be practiced in a group setting. In this workshop, together, we will create an atmosphere of kindness and warmth, to foster a sense of connection with ourselves and each other, and to create the conditions for emotional healing to occur. This workshop is for anyone who is interested in relationships, emotional healing, and/or learning more about new ways of looking at our lives that can help to unstick us from the past and open to fresh and more life-giving perspectives and choices.
You will get a taste of Hakomi through experiential practices done in pairs or small groups. There may be the chance to witness or receive a Hakomi session in the large group, where everyone will have the opportunity to participate in and benefit from the healing that becomes available as part of the group.
You are welcome to attend one or both of the Hakomi days. The cost for each day is $76, which includes the Bethlehem Centre’s fees plus a delicious vegetarian lunch. At the end of the event, participants will be invited to make a donation to the facilitator, based on their personal sense of generosity. Your support is sincerely appreciated.
