On November 14th, 15th, and 16th, Liane Zink — Senior Trainer in Biosynthesis, together with assistant Elaine Gloeden, led a deeply inspiring workshop at the School of Biosynthesis in Argentina, directed by Gaston Rigo.

Over the course of these three days, participants immersed themselves in the theme “Connection, Contact, and Context in Biosynthesis”, exploring in practice how the body, emotions, and relational fields intertwine in the therapeutic process.

It was a rich and meaningful experience, filled with embodied exercises, sensitive exchanges, and profound learning opportunities that expanded the understanding of somatic work. A truly valuable moment of both personal and professional growth for everyone who took part.

Perspectives on the Aesthetic Domain of Experience of Art and the Art of Singing as an expressive and therapeutic resource in Biosynthesis therapeutic processes.

In this presentation, Cecília Valentim, Senior Trainer in the international Biosynthesis community, explores how art and singing can become powerful expressive and therapeutic resources within the Biosynthesis approach.

She invites us to reflect on the aesthetic dimension of experience — where artistic expression, voice, and embodied presence meet in the process of healing and integration.
Through her perspective, we are reminded that the act of singing and creating art transcends our common understanding of aesthetics: it is a deeply human experience, a bridge between emotion, body, and meaning.

Eating Disorders and Body Psychotherapy
How does our relationship with food reflect our inner world?
What happens in the space between nourishment and emotional survival?

International Stress Awareness Week | November 3–7

Stress is a natural response of the body, but when it becomes chronic, it can have profound effects on mental and physical health, especially in individuals who have experienced trauma previously. Unprocessed traumatic experiences can lead to changes in the nervous system, making emotional regulation more difficult, increasing vulnerability to anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions.

Biosynthesis, as a somatic therapeutic approach, focuses on reconnecting body and mind, helping to identify patterns of tension and trauma, foster self-awareness, and develop healthy strategies to cope with stress.

During International Stress Awareness Week, we emphasize the importance of recognizing the signs of stress, understanding its roots, and seeking qualified therapeutic support. Taking care of emotional well-being is essential not only to face challenging situations but also to build resilience and long-term quality of life.

The Integration of Schema Therapy and Biosynthesis: Effectiveness and New Perspectives

In this presentation, Ketevan Beridze, Junior Trainer of the International Biosynthesis Community, explores how the combination of Schema Therapy and the Biosynthesis approach can deepen the therapeutic process and make treatment more effective and time-efficient.

Ketevan reflects on recurring clinical patterns such as the abandonment schema and perfectionism, showing how early maladaptive schemas, often rooted in preverbal experiences, manifest not only in thoughts and emotions, but also in bodily sensations and posture.

By integrating body-oriented techniques, Biosynthesis helps bridge the gap between cognitive understanding and embodied experience, offering a more complete path toward transformation.

This integration between mind and body, thought and action, opens new possibilities for understanding and healing.

The Skin as an Organ of Our Psychic Life
From the very beginning of life, it is through the skin that we come into contact with the world. Touch is our first dialogue, through it, the infant feels love, presence, support, and the sense of being.

In the workshop “Skin as an Organ of Our Psychic Life”, Ekaterina Lyamina, psychologist, Biosynthesis psychotherapist, and supervisor at the Russian Institute of Biosynthesis, presents the ideas of Didier Anzieu on the Skin-Ego and its multiple functions: support, containment, protection, individuation, intersensoriality, sexualization, and inscription.
From the perspective of Biosynthesis, Ekaterina invites us to reflect on how the skin is more than a bodily boundary, it is a space where our emotional history is inscribed, where body and psyche meet and sustain one another.

Motor Fields & Toxic Relationships
with Nutsa Verkhviashvili, Georgian Institute for Biosynthesis

In this video, Nutsa offers a profound reflection on toxic relational dynamics from the perspective of Biosynthesis,
exploring how motor fields manifest and influence the body, emotions, and the therapeutic process.

Through three symbolic stages, from idealization, to the loss of self, and finally to the reconnection with one’s essence, she invites us to understand bodily movement as both expression and a path toward inner transformation.

A sensitive and insightful look at the gestures that reveal bonding, pain, and the potential for healing.

When we observe, as shown in Dr. Lila Landowski’s work, two neurons approaching and seeking connection through their projections called growth cones, we can marvel at the body’s intelligence in formation. These structures, resembling hands that reach out into the environment, guide neurons during development, helping them find the right spot to connect.

In adulthood, the processes of learning and memory no longer rely on these cones, but on synapses, thousands of tiny connections along the dendrites. Even so, the beauty of neuroplasticity remains: it is the brain’s ability to create new pathways and registers based on lived experiences.
And here lies the bridge with Biosynthesis: for new pathways to be formed, we need new experiences, bodily experiences that teach us, in practice, that a more harmonious and beneficial register is possible. Somatic psychotherapy offers, like no other, the opportunity to experience and consolidate these new connections within the therapeutic environment itself , a living laboratory of transformation and the creation of new internal possibilities.
