Personal and Professional Training

 

 

It is our intention to invite a "healing dream" for ourselves, the society and for our earth. We want to support the cultivation of health, freedom and creativity for the individual and society.

 

In this training we combine dance, body awareness, music, rhythm and creative process to connect to our aliveness; the core that lives in everything. We learn through experiencing ourselves in different somatic and creative modalities - moving our bodies, minds and souls. We explore the beauty of powerful facilitation and creative leadership. The theoretical emphasis of Core Connexion is based on the expressive arts, somatic and Buddhist psychology, as well as trauma therapy. The approach can be used for personal, communal, and global growth and change. It can also be applied to a myriad of emotional and psychological projects and problems.

 

*In Core Connexion we always start with the body, but it is an integral approach to human development that works within all four areas of our lives: body – mind – heart - soul/spirit

*Core Connexion is creative and innovative, as our practice is experiential and experimental and full of wonder

*Core Connexion is transformative, in that all areas of your life are developed simultaneously, creating a transformation that takes you to new levels of integration and expansion.

* Core Connexion emphasizes regular, long term practice over "quick fixes" to provide a truly sustainable base from which to be our true self.

 

 

Body: become anchored in the body’s sensation and discover its wisdom

Heart: acceptance and compassion practice

Mind: stress reduction, awareness based self-inquiry, inner witness, introducing wonder instead of judgment

Spirit: develop a regular movement meditation practice and deep connection to one’s core
