Returning to The Still Centre of The Self
An Online Live Course for Counsellors and Therapists
1 ½ hours per week for 5 Weeks
Everyday in your work you hold therapeutic space for clients, offer deep and attentive listening, facilitate reflection and discovery, provide true empathy. This takes energy and without nourishing yourself can lead to a sense of depletion.
This course is your opportunity to rejuvenate the Self of the Therapist. In this course, you will be guided through a range of experiential processes to discharge what needs to be let go of, reflect and learn about yourself, come back to your Centre.
The Sessions will be as follows:
• Embodiment: Inhabiting the Intelligence of the Body: guided body awareness, gentle movement, and deep relaxation.
• Use of Mandala making to restore balance and order internally.
• A process for working with your night dreams to harness the wisdom they contain.
• Exploring the Shadow and the power this has in creating a whole and balanced sense of Self.
• Who are You Now and who are you becoming? Use of the form of house/home, the Universal Symbol of the Self: a creative imagining using the visual arts, poetry, prose writing
The course is a closed group limited to 10 participants to allow the development of a safe space. It is offered as a whole. If you would like to register but are unable to come to all sessions, all course material and back up support are offered by the course facilitator to ensure you can benefit from the whole course.
You will need a quiet uninterrupted space. A list of resources required for each session will be provided in the week prior to the session. E.g. notepad, drawing paper, coloured pencils, paint, yoga mat or similar.
There will be opportunity for discussion, questions and sharing.
