Group
Work and Classes
Process Groups
and Workshops
The idea of doing one's
personal work in
a group setting can be intimidating -- especially if you've not done it
before! It is a joy to see group participants discover the value of
group
work and find the unique benefits that aren't found in individual
sessions.
Group participants find that they aren't alone in their feelings and
get
to experience the support of other group members in doing their work.
Likewise,
the group setting offers you the opportunity to offer support to others
and also benefit from the active work of other participants. I
structure
my process group meetings with a mix of individual exercises, emotional
and cognitive work in paired diads, and individual process work -- all
with the body, emotion, mind, and spirit emphasis of Core Energetics. I
maintain a safe and supportive container for groups so that your
unfolding
will be well supported.
Body-Mind Movement Classes
Core Energetics exercises
work well in
a "class" format where I emphasize the physical work of Core Energetics
without going into the deeper process work or interactive work that is
more appropriate for the process group and workshop formats. See my
description
below about the Body-Mind
Meditation and Movement Class
for details. If you have wanted to do group work, but feel shy or
intimidated
about opening up in a process group setting, this class might be a safe
place to begin and get comfortable.
Schedule for Classes and Groups
Throughout the year I offer
a variety of
classes, workshops, and groups. Click on the links
below to read a more complete description of each event. Each of these
events are developed to contribute to your well being and development
with
Core Energetics therapy. My Calendar page has specific dates for each
class or event.
- Body-Mind Meditation and
Movement Class: I
think of this class
as a kind of "Western Yoga"
or body-mind meditation that provides an opportunity to support one's
emotional/spiritual
development physically with the body. Class participants use physical
exercises
from Core Energetics to experience grounding in their bodies and in
their
authentic self, flexibility where openess is needed in the mind and
body,
strength to support their life's unfolding, building/sustaining their
energy
and directing its use, and other themes related to well being. This
work
is effective because it activates and joins consciousness and intention
to the physical exercises and physical expression. Click here for more

Movement
Class.
- I was moved by client
reactions to recent
geopolitical events and conflicts to develop the Shadow,
Negativity and Evil workshop. With themes of fear and
negativity
on so many minds, I see an opportunity to drive an inquiry into the
nature
of negativity for positive personal benefit. Participants in this
workshop
will have the opportunity to investigate negativity and focus on
personal
development that strengthens their sense of self and connection to the
core of their being.
- The
Soul
in Love is a weekend workshop based on Core Energetics for
personal growth and development.
Participants
benefit from group exercises, work in paired diads, from supporting
individual
work in the group, and from doing their own individual work.
You are welcome to contact
