Introductory Weekends - The Body within the Therapeutic Relationship Course

Photo of the Cerith Centre

Introductory weekend – Here you will meet the facilitators and other therapists interested in developing and exploring a reliable theory & skills approach to inclusion of the body within the therapy relationship.

You will be introduced to the ideas of Wilhelm Reich – commonly recognised as the forerunner of most modern body work approaches, and those of Alexander Lowen whose development of Reich’s theories has spread throughout the world as Bioenergetics.

You will be challenged to look differently at your client’s physical form and learn how to make sense of what you are seeing and experiencing.

You will be given an opportunity, in an experiential framework, to explore what you are discovering and share this in discussion with others.

You may experience a range of responses over the two days including surprise, suspense, recognition, discovery, excitement, connection and most importantly humour.

You will have the time to ask any questions about developing further and be introduced to the five weekend Skills & Theory Development course we are making available later in the year.
