Experience the power of Hakomi with an Introductory Workshop

Hakomi is a body-centered (somatic) approach. The body is viewed as a “map of the psyche” – a door that can be opened to reveal the entire unconscious belief system of the individual. The body’s habitual patterns can become a powerful access route to deeply held core material.

Current neuroscience research has confirmed the basis for many foundational aspects of the Hakomi Method, including the effectiveness of mindfulness, loving presence, empathic attunement, limbic resonance, and memory reconsolidation.

We develop exquisite sensitivity and attunement, using empathic skills to read and contact subtle, unconscious cues. When integrated into the session with unique Hakomi techniques, it creates a rapid, experiential access route to unconscious core beliefs and implicit memories that invisibly shape our lives and behavior. Once conscious and directly experienced, these are available for memory re- consolidation and transformation, including the healing of attachment issues.This experiential process evokes a powerful “felt sense” for the client, allowing them to take ownership of core patterns as they emerge, and to integrate new options.

This workshop provides an immersive introduction to the Method, this includes lectures from the faculty, experiential exercises, demonstrations, discussion, group process sessions, and Supervision.

Faculty: Deah Baird, N.D., L.P.C., Certified Hakomi Trainer

Target Audience
This workshop is designed to provide experiential learning in the Hakomi Method and is also a prerequisite to the Hakomi Comprehensive Training.

Hakomi Character Training: A Somatic Map of Human Development and Relational Patterns in Therapy

Hybrid - Online and in California

Learn clinical tools and somatic practices for working with early character formation, spanning human development from the perinatal period through adolescence, with special attention to BIPOC and Indigenous child development.

Through the lens of mindfulness, somatic psychology, and Hakomi’s Map of Human Development, you’ll explore the deep roots of personality, survival strategies, and embodied relational patterns. Character strategies, formed as intelligent adaptations to early relational environments, shape how we move, breathe, connect, and perceive ourselves. Over time, these patterns influence posture, emotional regulation, relational habits, and core beliefs about safety, worth, and belonging.

Participants will gain embodied tools to support meaningful change, both in their own development and in their work with others.

This training is suitable for Hakomi students, graduates, and psychotherapists who want to include character theory and maps in their toolkit. It is also open to psychologists, coaches, and educators seeking a practical framework for understanding and working with deeply held character patterns.

Manuela Mischke-Reeds, Susan San Tara, Julie Murphy, Pamela Thompson, Ashley Ross, Tara Shannon, Karen Daley.

Character: In a positive sense, a person’s stable way of making meaning of life through organizing multiple dispositions from metabolic, psychosocial, and structural factors so that the person displays consistent, predicable behavior. In a therapeutic sense, a way of experiencing and expressing oneself in a rigid way, unaware of or unable to make use of a wider range of realistically available choices.

character process: Any one of a number of characterological ways of being in the world that have been delineated in Hakomi and general psychological literature as having identifiable, predictable components (see character above).

character strategy: The patterns, habits, approaches to the world a person has developed to achieve pleasure and satisfaction while avoiding perceived painful situations, given the nature of the person’s particular core organizing beliefs about the world.

Hakomi Glossary: bottom-up processing

A concept from sensorimotor psychotherapy that contrasts the mindful processing of sensations, tensions, and such generated by lower brain functions as a result of traumatic activation (bottom) with that of the more common mindful processing of thoughts, emotions, and memories available to the cerebral cortex (top-down processing). Premature top-down processing can evoke a harmful trauma vortex, if bottom-up processing of sensations as sensations has not empowered the body to titrate and metabolize such material without being overwhelmed by their normally instantaneous eruptions.
